Motortruck Used by Louuers.

Nothing is more characteristic OF
logging as it was done from 1900 to
1900 than the sight of a huge truck,
piled high with logs, and hauled
through the muck and over the cor
duroy of the woods trails by four, six,
OF even more husky horses. If there
is one place in the world where a
truck might be expected to fail, 1t Is
here. But with the right kind of equip
ment it seems just as easy to get the
logs out by gas as by horse; and there
need be no argument over the PROPOSE
tion that, If il can be done at all by
gas, it can be done more cheaply so.-

Natal grass, native of South Africa

without reseeding, even though the
same land is also used for the prOduc-

Foreign Advertising Representative
THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
MAKES FOR PEACE.

THE American relief fund
for Japan has reached about
ten million dollars. This is a
generous sum, yet not too
generous, considering the
distress of the earthquake suf-
ferers. 1t is substantial
evidence of this country's
good will and ought to disarm
the jingoes of the island king
dom. Incidentally it should
make the Japanese people
more considerate of the right
Of Americans to keep the soil
of America free from coloniz-
alton and exploitation by-|
alien races that cannot be
Americanized.

MAKING CAPITALISTS
OUT OF WORkMEN
Festus J. Wade Says Anarchy
Disappears With the De-
velopment of Thrift.

When the savings pass-book comes
into mans life to stay the red flag
goes out. What the country needs is
: to bring about condition whereby
the man who works with his hands
shall take the same interest In his at.
fairs as the capitalist does In his.
Probably the best way to do this
would be to turn the workman into a
capitalist. And this is exactly what
he becomes when he saves his money
and builds up reserve fund. He re.
mains q capitalist as long as he holds
on to that money. The satisfaction
OF seeing his money reserve mount
up will discourage the waster to take
a layoff now and then. 1t will encour-
age him to work full six-day week
and thereby increase the labor hours
applied TO production.
The American people can solve auy
problem they set themselves to. We
provided for sound currency when
the greenbackers and infation.sts
we're routed and the gold basis estab-
lished. The Federal Reserve Bank
was established and solved a problem
Tor which most people thought there
was no solution. A numb Der OF years
ago, when there was crisis or when
bank failed, we all used TO shut up
our vaults tight and let nothing get
out Instead of lettering conditions |
we made them worse. Now if failures |
occur few people, except those direct |
ly interested. are disturbed.
Do ~ =
Of all right now Is TO do away with
labor waste. 1t never can be done nv
preaching, by agitatian or by force. II
can be done by selling the workman
On the .dea Of becoming a capitalist.
This can be brought about by the right
lind OF bank advertising. Who is
here to say that an advertising dol
ar bringing about this result would
lot be constructive lar?-Festus
+. Wade.

the same period Europe sold

crease of 40 per cent over the
