northwest, estimated today that in
South Dakota one-third of the cash
grain hauled to the market during the
threshing season was conveyed in
these itinerant trucks. Workers
handling the trucks are able to carry
with them a considerable number of
harvest hands. who are modified at
the point of greatest demand.
The motorized crews of farm labor
ers moxed with the grain harvesting
from June to October and from Texas
to the Canadian border. They found
that their pay has gained rather than
lost as a result of the new arrange
ment. The harvest workers. in COM
parison to the regular farm hand, is
highly paid considering that room and
board are usually included with the
daily wage. The truck reduces his
transportation cost and provides
place in which some of the hands can
sleep.
Help Farmers Wives.
BY the use of these trucks and other
automobiles available, the farmers
wives have been relieved Of great
part of the strain which used to fall
on their shoulders in providing food
for the harvesting crews. Now these
trucks transport the harvest workers
to restaurants in nearby villages.
AS a result of the transportation of
grain by motorized equipment, the
grain movement for September and
October set new high records, as
shown by receipts at the terminal
markets at Duluth and Minneapolis.
BY the end of October the rush Of the
grain movement was over. The rail-
roads were able to handle from As to
SO per cent more grain for the IA
weeks Of big grain movement than
was handled in 1926, without en-
bargoes, tie-ups or delays.
The Northern Pacific movement OF
grain increased by S8 per cent for the
IA active grain moving weeks, COM
pared with the corresponding period
of 1926. The road handled 36.147 cars
this year as against 1921 cars year
ago.
Great Northern increased it's han
ding of grain SO per cent, while the
Chicago & Northwestern gained as
per cent, and the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul gained As per cent.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 22.-Truck
manufacturers throughout the coun-
try anticipate an increase in sales
from the agricultural districts as a
result of the improvement in harvest
ing methods which began to be put
into effect in the Fall of 1927. The
trucks form a necessary part of new
development in grain moving which
was first introduced to the farming
sections this year.
For years 1t has been the custom
for harvest hands to start the harvest
season in the South and Southwest
and gradually work North as the reap
ing and threshing season Travelled in
that direction. These thousands of
workers either beat their way on the
railroads or obtained special rates
from the carriers in moving from
point to point. At times. this method
Of transportation, coupled with ext
gencies of weather, left certain Sec
tons without adequate labor and cost
millions of dollars to the farmers in
volved.
This year the harvest hands moved
North like an army of locusts, cutting
down the grain like those insects, but
not destroying 1t, and the method of
transportation was the motor truck.
Hauling to Elevators.
The operators of these trucks in the
past year contract with the farmers
for the hauling Of grain from the COM
bined harvesters-threshers to the ele-
vators. Threshing has been so speed
ed up by the combines" that the old
grain tanks could not move the har-
vest from the threshing machine In
the field to the country grain elevators,
and the farmers themselves did not
own sufficient trucks Of large capacity
to do this hauling.

NEW YORK, December 22.-The ex.
pansion in bond trading in the early
part of todays session was due to the
vigorous demand for Italian issues
growing out of the sudden determina-
tlon or Italy to stabilize her currency.
The market had evidently had an
mixing of this as Italian bonds have
been active and strong for several
days. The actual announcement,
however, caused heavy buying of
them, in which the government rs rose
over point to small fraction under
par. At the same time City of Rome

points. The Italian public utility and
automobile company bonds were like
wise bid up for gains of from y to
point. After an hour or so of intense
trading in this group they reacted
little on profit-taking.
Further Italian Loans.
1t is quite probable that the sta
bilization of the Ira will be followed
by further Italian loans about which
there have been rumors for some time.
The borrowers will be number of
the important Italian cities, public
utilities and possibly mortgage banks.
Other continental bonds were fndif-
ferent to the movements in Italians
and French issues were slightly lower.
There was some interest taken in
French internal loans, which would be
benefited by action in France similar
TO that taken by Italy.
Industrial convertible bonds were
steady after a lower opening. The
volume of trading in them, however.
has decreased sharply since the first

THREE months on the Western
Front had not hardened Private
George A. Adamson Of the 88th Vic
toria Rifles to the life on the "sol-
dier's glorious trade" Whatever ro-
mantle illusions he had of an exis-
tence where mems lives were as
cheap as the bullets that killed them
had been shattered at the first roar
of the field guns. at the first crash
of the barrage, at the first bomb
from an enemy aeroplane that had
greeted him on his way to the
trenches. He trembled to recall the
horrors of that first day even now
There were boys of his age who had
been able to take their place in the
front line with the same care-free
spirit with which they had donned a
uniform. Or at least they were bet
ter actors. Such adaptability to con-
diticns was foreign to Adamson's ma
ture. He had quivered when the
command of the sergeant" Single
file!" was passed along the ranks.
Three more nights like this before
the relief! How he lived thru the
previous week was problem he pre-
ferred to forget. Everything had
gone wrong this spell. The letter
from home he was just reading had
mentioned parcel which should have
reached him days ago-and parcels
meant cakes, and candy, and cigaret-
tes,-things which made for vision
Of life in an atmosphere of murder.
For it was murder, however much

spat murder in reply to every shot

quarters, the relentless plunge

echoed all over the country. Many
letters from soldiers stationed here
no doubt went out on the next mail,
some to their parents, some to news
papers, others to casual friends. One
soldier now residing in St. Louis,
formerly member of 21st Infantry
stationed at Schofield, becoming re-
liniscent, wrote the following to a
I. Louis newspaper:
These men who died are of
several thousands at that post who

The officer had called for volunteers,
but had looked hard at Adamson
when he mentioned the word. He
wanted volunteers, and Adamson had
never been on bombing raid. Adam
son went. But why not press a gun
to his head and say "Go!"? Why
not cOerce openly, as he had been
coerced into nearly every move from
the time when the white feathers of
pretty flappers had driven him into
the recruiting booth, to the occasion

Adamson as ne fixed his bayonet.
