AUTOMOBILE IS NOW NECESSITY Has Established Itself as Quick, Clean Method of Transpor tation Everywhere. BENEFIT TO CIVILIZATION To Treat Motor at a Plaything la Big Mistake la Important Factor In All Spheres of Life Com- mandi Respect The nutomobltc, ns n method of Quick, clean transportation, tins estab lished Itself tho world over. It Is tnio It was not considered such In tho cnrly days when Its mcchnnlcnl dcpcndnhlllty hnd not been proved. But when dependability came, its po sition was mndo secure. "Today tho motorcar Is an Important factor in nil spheres of life. It Is a utility, a vital one, nnd is so recognized by thoso who have been introduced to Its use, and who npprcclnte, to tho fullest extent, Its manifold advantages, nnd how help less they would bo If it were necessary to do without this modern convenience. To treat tho modern autotnobllo lightly as a plaything, Is a mistake. True, it Is ready for recreative pur poses, but that is simply one method for which It may bo employed. Those who know most about ac complishment of tho motorcar and tho great changes the use of the automo bile has made In this country hold it In deepest admiration and respect. Motor Hat Influence. Wo all seem to agree that transpor tation is close to civilization. Tn achieve one, you must have the other. They go hand in hnud. And it is not too much to sny tlmttho advent of the motorcar and, Its uso during the last 12 yenrs, particularly, has had a jmarked Influence on the people of this country. The use of the automobile has broadened us. Wo "are better ablo to appreciate tho country. We havo a better Idea of our United States. Through this agency the East under stands a little better the West, tho South knows more about the North nnd vice versa. The autotnobllo has actually brought our people closer to gether. Take the matter of good roads: What single thing has been responsi ble for our activity In this direction? Tlio automobile, of course. And' we - Jill know It. The country wns woefully behind in th matter. Rut marvelous achievements have taken plnce. Thou sands of miles of splendid, durable highways have been built; raoro are under construction, and It Is only a questlonof time before wo shall have a fine network of raids throughout tho whole country. Is the automobile n necessity? It Is. It is proving itself so. It Is owned by thoso who appreciate tho motor car as such. It Is estimated that more than a third of tho automobiles in use in this country are owned by farmers, or those wher live in the coun try, and who find It necessary to make frequent trips to near-by communities to buy supplies or for other purposes. It is true the man In the country wns able to get along, In some way, before the uutomobllc came, but it Is likewise truo tlmt his progress and advancement Is dated from the time he was able to use a motorcar. Farm life changed from that time. Is Economic Factor. Is tho automobile an economic fac tor? It is. Its use In tho business world has been recognized for some time and is a recognized factor in present-day activity. To tho sales man, the business man, the merchant, tho real estate mun, to those who must be about, It has lengthened days. They are able to do more to see moro peo ple and to cover moro territory. And the man with a car does not get tired as easily as he would other-, TENDENCY TO SEND HOGS TO MARKET IN MOTORTRUCKS INSTEAD OF BY RAILROAD sjtcaaMysay'-' ynj w . yy U H llflannVen Excellent for Transporting Hogs to Station. .(Prepared by the United States Depart jJV ment of Agriculture ) 1 "Motor trucks are being used more extensively than, ever before to haul . bogs to market, according to reports bjv representatives of the bureau of ''Irkets, United States department of agriculture. During the period begin ning with October and ending with February, Just past, the proportion of wagon and truck hogs In the total re ceipts at the1 Peoria, III., stockyards was. nearly double that forhe. corre " ponding Ave months two" years ago. A" i total of MJ80 hogs were brought to 'the yards t wagons and trucks during vise. He neves Ms energy tot hit work, rather than using It In getting t his destination. Does the automobile boy life? It does. The use of motorcars by nearly 100 per cent of tho physicians in this country is nmplo proof of tho esteem in which It is held by this profession In every walk of life, in every en deavor, in every instance whero time is a consideration, where energy is desired, tho automobile looms large as tho vchlclo to bo used. Ask the autotnobllo owner nnd see whnt he says. Stop the next one you meet nnd put tho question to hlra. We are living In n rctnnrkahle nge. In an age when so much l-s tnken for granted. The .marvelous seems to be commonplace for us In tho midst of marvels. Tho nutomobtlo wrb intro duced in such a period. It may bo that wo nro too closo to Its newness to npprcclnte Its vroudcr. For It Is a wonder. A truly great one. But, like many other things given to us In tho Jnst 23 years, we havo ac cepted it without giving the necessary credit to its wonderful capabilities. But it is a certainty that future history will glvo to tho autotnobllo its proper place. Automobile la Safe. Wo need not worry. The automobile is safe. Tho automobile Industry Is secure. Tho autotnobllo serves tho peoplo and as long as it docs this ef ficiently, and there Is a reason to be lieve thnt' Uils efflclency, If anything, is going to increase, It 13 safe to sny that there will bo need for motorcars, nnd that the law of supply and demand will govern their manufacture and distribution. But let us not forget this: That tho development of tho nuto raobllo from a crude, mechanical af fairerratic and feeble in pejform ance to the powerful, smoothly run ning, efficient machine of today is a glowing tribute to tho courage, de termination and skin of thoso far sighted pioneers who saw in tho crea tion of their handiwork tho birth of a utility whioji would some day bocotuo Indispensable to Industrial progress and national prosperity. HANDY NEW AUTOMATIC JACK Invention of Iowa Man Makes It Pos alble to Raise Car by 'Power 8ecured From Engine. The new automatic automobile Jack Invented by Walter P. Evans, Des Moines, la., makes it possible to raise car wheels free from the floor, the power for operating the Jack being ob tained from the car Itself, says Illus trated World. Tho devlco consists of two seta of Inclined Independent Jacks arranged to engage the automobile axles. A crank arranged to be operated by the auto Car's Motor Does Work of Jacking. mobile In its advancing movement, causes one pair of legs to suing for ward and elevate the enr. The front legs of tho Jack nro ad Justnblo in height to suit different cars. Any convenient arrangement of ropes and pulleys makes It possible for tho operator to movo the control ling lever that frees tho car from the Jacks whllo tie is still at the rear of the automobile, and without the necessity of his going to the car In order to release It.

Increased produc tion and attractive prices no doubt were reeponslblle for some of the in crease, the representatives say, but there la a growing tendency to send bogs to market la motor trucks in stead of by rail where the distances are' not great This tendency Is also (shown at other markets. At the Cin cinnati yards, for example, 188,972 hogs were 'brought (a -by truck and wagon during 1818, as" compared 'with TT.aia arrrtrlngln stssllar eonyeyanoee ROADS PROSPERITY IN GOOD ROADS Future Development of Country Must Begin With Improved Highways to Relieve Congestion. There are today some 2,500,000 miles of rural roads in tho United States. Of this" amount perhaps 12 per cent could bo classified ns Improved, while only about one-fourth of one per cent can bo said to bo suitable for tho cnrrlngo of heavy-duty motortrucks. And tn tho face of this condition it can be snld without chanco of contradiction that the future development of the United States rests upon the roads. The past few years have witnessed a tremendous turnover in transporta tion from the railway to tho highway, Sdys Roy D. Chapln, former chairman of tho highways transport committee of tho council of, national defense. Tho congestion which prevailed during the wnr made neccssnry tho commer :ial utilization of tho highway to nn extent thought impossible n scant few years ago. Tho motortruck, little known be fore tho war, sprang into promlnenco as a commercially practical form of transportation, nnd while tho fighting has ceased tho need for tho motor truck remains with us, more insistent thon ever before. Within certain limitations the freight car of tho highway Is mors efficient than the rail carrier, and be cause of It it may be taken as a per manent form of transportation and ono destined to havo n large Influenco on the movements of trade in the future. The hour has struck when tho fast moving efficient motor vehlcio of com merce must replnce the horlto and the costly terminal charges which prevail upon the short-haul branches of the rail lines. Already tho motortruck has become a "feeder" to tho railroad ; shortly It Is destined to aid enormous ly to tho profitable long hauls, while entirely or very nearly so eliminating the unprofitable spurs. Railroad men generally recognize the new movement and welcome it Street railway men, not so keenly alert to Its possibilities as a feeder to their lines, have yet to take the full est advantage of tho opportunities which It presents. But back of the motortruck rests the road. While the highway as such Is of little Interest to those outside of the engineering field, as a means for transportation It becomes of vital Im portance to every citizen of the United States, whether he be in profession or trade, a minister, a merchant, a doc for. High and low, rich and poor, the toad conibs into contact with all of us, and upon its relative efficiency de pends to a greater extent than most of Motortruck Used to Hsul Farm Produce to Market. us dream the ultimate cost of all that wo eat, wear, have. "No one knows how much the coun try pays for cartage," said William O. Redfleld, secretary of commerce, re cently, "but anyone who looks Into the question Is pretty sure to find out that the figures are larger than he thought It could be. t Yet cartage Is but one nhnsn of mad costs. Poor roods mean Isolation, which In turn mean fewer possibil ities for education, fewer opportuni ties for wealth, lower real estate ,val nations as well as Increased costs of supplies. .Every sound, fundamental economic reason speaks out for the Uurablo road, Just as It protests against tho poor, Inadequately constructed highway. Despite these facts, which will be vci-Ifled by all who have studied the question, despite the fact that the offi cial government figures placed the hauling over the highways at 2,000, 000,000 ton-miles In 1017, oar roads are today all that they should not be.
