NJ b. Gilman tells Of an cxacting
test, calling for an even more cxcep-
tonal feat of power and endurance
than the now famous Lick Run Hill
test, which resulted in Il sale of five
trucks to the state of Ohio, influenced
the Southern Sierras Power Company
of Redlands, California, to buy four
Graham Brothers Trucks and stand
ardizc on this equipment for its most
important service work.
This company has always consid-
cred it necessary to patrol it's high
power electric line, between Indio and
Whitewater in the Colorado desert
with light wagons drawn by mules.
This was not satisfactory, however,
as it took the mules too long to reach
the scene of the trouble, which, when
causing shutdown on this power
line, cost the company fully one thou
sand dollars an hour.
For months the company tried un-
successfully to obtain some type OF
motor vehicle to patrol this section
but found none which could negotiate
the sand and had the stamina TIC
stand up under the terrific grind

Pacific when two twcnty-foot whale
boats collidcd several miles out from
San Francisco. Because Of their
heavy clothing, oilskins and scamen's
boots they were saved only with diff
ficulty.
The only prominent member of the
cast in either of the boats was Robert
McKim. Irwin V. Willat, who directed
the picture, Billie Dove, Malcolm Ne
Gregor and Lon CLANCY were inter
ested spectators on the tug, which
also bore the battery of cameras
grinding steadily away.
In this scene of the Irwin V. Willat
production the boats wore to be chas-
ing whale for some distance. The
gunners in the bows were to be shown
preparing to fire their massive forty
pound harpoon guns. The boats had
occasionally approached each other
closely but at the moment of firing
they crashed together, the bow of one
being smashed and both, capsizing.
Mr.. Whats tug Immediately came
to the rescue. Cold and shivering,
the men were hauled aboard and
headed back for the schooner and dry
clothing and hot drinks.

116,OSO F0RDS
FOR FEBRUARY
Acute Situation Certain as
5000 a Day Fail to
Meet Demand

Detroit, Mich, Mar. 24.-With 49,
CSC Ford cars sold at retail in Febru-
airy new record for the shortest
month in the year has been establish
ed. February sales exceeded those Of
January by more than $4,000 and
marked the eleventh month in which
Ford sales have topped the 100000
line.
This sales record bears out prcdic-
tons made at the opening of the, year
that an acute shortage in Ford cars
is certain and this shortage is ex-
pcctcd to be felt within the next two
months with the increased volume Of
car buying which is always attendant
upon the spring months.
Even the high production schedule
set at the Ford Motor company's fac
tory here, which will reach 5000 cars
and trucks day about April /, will
be unable to meet the apparent de-
mand for Ford products.
Anticipating great increase in the
present year the factory here laid
plans for increasing production to the
5000 car day schedule and since
January first had been constantly
speeding up manufacture to reach this
; figure. Demand so far has been Of
such great proportions as to absorb
nearly all production, and stocks in
hands of dealers are at present the
lowest they have been in months.
February sales of 1l6,O80 cars were
made in the fact of unfavorable
weather conditions in many sections
of the country which tied up freight
traffic and prevented many deliver
les. This was particularly true
throughout the Northwest, the north
ern tier of states and in New Eng
land. In California. too, cold weather
during part of the month had it,
effect upon car sales.
Yet with even these unfavorabl,
conditions, the February sales toppct
those Of January by Is per cent ant
set new high record for Mid-wintc
selling.
With February the eleventh montl
in which Ford car sales have gon
over the 100000, the total for thi
period is close to l 100000 cars.
Peak cars usually are reached dur
ing the summer months with drops i!
the fall and winter. This feature O
automobile absorption by the buying
public has been completely change
during the last few months through
the activities of the Ford dealer or
ganization which has raised tn
..peak" line to include every month II
the year.

North DakOtans Take Good
Care of Books, and Also
Show Good Taste in Selec-
ton, State Librarian Says
Growth of System Pre-
dicted by Miss DOwney

The state library's Email order"
plan CT supplying books to readers
in parts of the state without ade-
quatc library facilities is growing at
u remarkable rate, according to Miss
Mary E. Downlcy, state Librarian.
The books arc sent through travelling
Libraries to schools, women's clubs
and other organizations, and small
packages Of books and papers arc
sent to individuals in all parts of
the state.
An appreciation is shown Of the
service in the manner which people
take care of the books and phamph-
lets, Miss Downley said, declaring
far better care is taken of the books
sent through the mails than is taken
Of books out of the public libraries
of the various cities in which she has
been engaged in that line of work.
Few books are returned in damaged
condition. Some are lost but usual
ly those who lose them make an offer
to pay before request to this eff
feet is sent them, she said.
There are now about 300 travelling
libraries in circulation, having q to-
tai Of $4,000 books. They are sent
from organization to organization
throughout the state, and the books
are picked with care. In the "com-
munity libraries" there usually is
one third of the books relating to
social and educational subjects, one
third are childrens books and
third fiction. Because Of limited
number of works of fiction not many
book Of this, kind arc sent to indivi-
duals.
The people of the state have
highly developed taste for good
books, according to Miss DoWncy.
Eliminating fiction because the num-
Der Of books is small, Miss Downey
says the demand for books is in the
following order: l. Education and
sociology; 2. Books on North Dako-
ia and her history; 3. hiberaturc in
general; 4. Travels and history; S.
Biography.
The demand for books is irrcgu
lar and at times sudden demand
which develops from all parts Of the
state is unexplainablc. There are
usually two or three periods in the
year when an unusual number Of re-
quests come in for book on ctiquct-
te, Miss Downey, said, and she has
not been able to trace the source of
the demand. Anything about the
state Of North Dakota usually is in
circulation most of the time, includ-
ing history or various localities, ma
tural resources, coal, clay, flowers,
birds, etc. and the library is unable
to supply all of the requests for ma
terial on the history of the Indians
Some years ago number of
farmers libraries" were prepared
containing works dealing with the
farm and farm problems. There is
practically no demand for such ira
yelling libraries, Miss Downey said
Farmers, she said, desire to read
books of general interest.
1T is surprising" remarked Miss
Downley, show few books on religion
there are in the library and how few
calls we have for religious works
When there arc calls they usually
come from discussion Of some parti
cular subject"

NEW WAR MACHINE
 TO REPLACE HORSE
Big Field Guns Into Any Kind of Position

LONDON, April 12. - A new war war weapon, which will entirely super sede horses used for artillery work, is about to be introduced into the British Army.
 It is a composite caterpillar tractor and fighting tank, born of the expert ences of the Great War, when, owing to the havoc among horses, guns were prevented from reaching their posi- tions, and other serious losses fol- lowed
 As a result of new construction this machine will be able to undertake a 1,000-mile cruise, as against 500 miles of the old tank, without requiring new caterpillars.
 The first of these new war horses has just been constructed, and as it has entirely satisfied the British War Office tenders have been put out for seventeen more. It is anticipated that the cost of building each will range between s30,0OO and S45,000. The new machine is very formid- able looking weapon and created an enormous sensation on it's first trial. It is about 25 feet long and surmount- ] ed by a turret so that it is not merely fearful fighting machine, but it can also convey a field gun of the largest size into action. It can also be adapt ed to be an ordinary tractor.
 Another improvement is a new sys. tenn of spring mounting, which re- duces the terrible jolting of the old tank forces during the war.
 Fine craftsmanship and engineering skill are conspicuous in the whole makeup.

THREE PROMINENT WOMEN SEEK D. A. R. PRESIDENCY

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Interest in the annual congress of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion to be held here April 16 to 21, is centering in the triennial election of officers with a three -cornered contest on for the office of presi- dent general.

Wallace Hanger, of the Dis trict of Columbia, and Mrs. William Cumming Story, of New York, hon orary president-general of the D. A. R.
 Tickets have been announced par tially by the candidates, and there is every indication of an exciting contest when the 2,00O delegates as semble in Memorial Continental Hall. Officers will serve for three years with the exception of the vice pres idents- general whose terms are only for two years.
 The presidents-general of the D. A. R. have included notable Ameri- can women Mrs. Benjamin Harri- son was the first, accepting the of- flee while first lady of the land.

MISSOURI FARM RICH
 IN GOLD AND SILVER

EXETER, Mo, April 12.-A num- Der of leases in southeastern Mis- souri have been sold in the last few weeks as the result of the dicovery of gold, silver, copper and zinc on the farm of G. s. Johnson, near here.
 About year ago, while drilling a we'll, a golden colored rock about ten feet thick, and said to have been rich in copper was found by workmen. Beneath this rock, it was stated, another of greyish hue was found. Minerologists examined it and found 1t to contain silver. John son pulverized the rock and from sixteen ounces of ore extracted produced about an ounce of metal.
 Gold also has been found in the well, but, according to Johnson, in insufficient quantities to send it away to be sheltered. It is planned, however, to construct a large blast furnace and smelter here.
 Johnson has leased the property to company, and shaft has been lowered to a depth of 70 feet. As says of the ore are being made by the Government Bureau of Mines.

Out to Win Back Com mercial Supremacy
 Lost During War
U. 5. MARKETS EXTENDED
In Open Declaration of War" on American
 Gains

| LONDON, April 12.-Great Britain has declared war on America-not a war of battleships, airplanes and long of lading, commercial cargoes and merchant ships. England is out to win away from America the conner cial supremacy which the United States captured during the war and is leaving no stone unturned to achieve victory.
 That tlc bottle is already under way was the declaration openly made by Sir William JOynson-Hicks, secretary of the Overseas Trade Department.
 "We are turning America out of the markets she secured during the war" Sir William said. We are deter mined to restore our trade to the same position as it was in in 1913"
 Would Restore Trade
 Restoration of British export trade, in Sir Williams opinion, is the foun- dation stone upon which the struc- ture of England's future prosperity must be erected. Without overseas trade, he declares, it is impossible for Great Britain to survive as a nation.
 England's staggering loss of trade during the war was emphasized by Sir William, who is leading the fight to restore British commercial prestige.
 "The value of our overseas trade has dropped approximately $1,500,- OO0,OOO annually from where it was in 1913," he said. of we could get that back 95 per cent of our unem- ployed would automatically be taken into legitimate employment, and we would ge rid of the moral degradation of men having to live on doles." ! Campaign Outlined
 I Sir William likewise outlined the plan of campaign that is being fol lowed. The keystone of the campaign is system of commercial attaches to the various British embassies whose duty it is to keep the Overseas Trade Department in touch with every possible form of trade development The information thus obtained is transmitted to the trade community and forms the basis of commercial campaigns conducted by British export and import firms.
 At the present time Britain's com | n1 hoc sol aried officials and 535 unsalariet posts. Besides these consular off cials, England has appointed trade commissioner in each of her self-gov erning dominions and in India, whose duty it is to promote closer trade re lations between the dominions ant the home country.
 ~ Results Seen Already
 That the campaign is bearing frui was emphasized by Sir Williams dec laration that there is distinct evi dence of a revival of trade, and since 1920 our trade has been going bacl to it's old channels" which is another way of saying that England is getting back the trade that she lost during the war.
 America, however, has not take1 the challenge to a fight for commer cial supremacy flying down." It wa: revealed by Sir William that the Unit 1 ed States is spending more than twice as much as Britain each year in the development of it's own commercial consular service and is maintaining g. overseas commercial offices to 45 tha l have been established by Great Brit | ain. America likewise has supple | mented this consular service by the establishment of research and finan
