the hundreds of thousand of motor
vehicles, they can nave much of their
proportionate share of the nation's war
debt, according' to an Idea advanced
by State Highway Commissioner J
Denny O'.N'ell. Ho pointed out that
this State possesses not only one-tenth
of tho men of the land, hut that its
resources eceed a. tenth of the wealth
of the country and that the .state1 war
burdem will he heavy. He fcileJ:
Tennsjlvanla has In the nelBhlwr.
i,n.i f 3",-,. 001) motor vehicles, of this
number the majority are pneumatic- ,
tired car, hut not M)-callcd 'pleasure
iars' by any means. I presume there aro
. total of 40.00U truck In the SUte. .
yearly 20.000 cars are of the solld-tlred
""The" number of automobiles owned by
farmer of l'ennsjlvanla 'will run close
to the S0.O0O marh.
"With the trementous molorv energv
found In this great number of cars rf
ill clashes, l'enni-jlvanlnns have it In
their pow er to decrease the cost of Tins
pertatlon, particularly of foodstuff".
ni'Y IN" COUNTRY"
'The car owners of relink Ivanlj,
when they motor into the louiitry dls
tilcts on a pleasure trip, should tal.e ,v i
vantage of their presence in the reRlon
of actual production and nal.e their
nurchasen Of farm products
I think it would he a (splendid Uca
were the fat met of l'enusj lv arila. to
erect a bulletin board In front of theli
lorr.es on which to tell passerKby Just
what they have to sell Motorists pass.
Ire by could Kan these boards and if
J..I.....1 .iftlMae wptn nosted could Rf
in nnd liurv them. Tho farmer,- of-
course, in tlxlng the price of his iinid
nets, would hear In mind the fact ihit
he was saved the eost of tiantportatbn
to market, m iking a reduction to fit that
condition Jn these ilajs of perfected
automobile m.uhliiery, the motorist s
range Is limited onlv hv his own desire
as to the distance he wants to go Con
srquentlj. while the farmers closa to the
congested districts may not ho able to
Minnlv produce at ptlces e heapei- than
maj be had In town, the car owner, hi
the course of his average Journev, would
find conditions he sought and the firm
products ... ,
"Perfected automobile machinery en
ables the fanner to pick his own tmrhet.
But If the town and cltv owners of au
tcmoblles will go only to the farmer for
their products, he will be saved the an
nojanca and cost of going to market In
iranv Instances and will he able to lit
vote more time to production.
' wrnc nui-D for tradesmen
"V wide field Is open to the honest
tradesman, who will take his one or
two ton. truck and gather un farm pro
duce. He will he able to sell more of It,
at Ies cost. Johil Jones, with automo-j
blleless neighbors on each side of him, I
will cut their cost of living If he reniem-,
bers their needs when maklne his own I
purchases and permits them, through
his own careful bujlne, to oecure goods
direct from the faim at less cost than
possible In town. '
"In my minds' eve I see the main
hlghwajs of the State being put to
these practical uses. I seo regular
transport trains operating between the
towns and cities .1 we the cits man.
who has taken his wife and children out
for an hour on two's Hde stopping at
a farmhouse Hiid miking his food pur
chases direct from the producer. I see
the Government ma.ll ttucks collecting
foodstuffs and bringing them by parol
post to the towns. I see permanent
thoroughfares of sufndent w Idth bear- ,
ing a great 'portion of the buidens now
being borne by the railroads And I see
