CONTROL VITAL
TO COAL TRADE
Chief Roderick Makes Some In
teresting Comments Upon
the Business
Jnm<* E. Roderick. State chief of
mines. In a review of the State's coal ,
mining operations ißsued today de- j
clares that "It would be a fortunate
thing for the trade If no new opera-j
tions were started during the next five
years and existing corperatlons could
be controlled to meet tho demand* of
the market." This statement, which !
is made in the course of a discussion
of the movement now being worked
out to restrict the State's bituminous
i-oal trade, the chief «ays wotild re- j
move the danger of operation produc
tion and breaks in prices which affect .
both operators and men.
In the course of the discus*ion of;
the subject of control of the coal i
trade Mr. Roderick says:
"The beginning of what may final
ly result in a wise and beneficial re- :
strictlon of the bituminous coal trade
Is being made In some mining sections
where the operators ore combining In
such a way that they may have more
control of the output. Coal opcta
tions are now conducted on a large
scaJe and in many ci;»es there is a ten
dency to purchase plants thut are well
developed rather than make new de
velopments. This course will finally
eliminate some of the smaJler con
cerns r- id make It possible to oontrol
or restrict the output. It ie merely
a movement to meet more fully the
economic law of supply and demand.
Another feature of this tendency is
seen in the effort to transfer the con
trol of existing plants from weak to
strong hands. Powerful interests are
gradually reaching out and getting
l ontrol of many of the lesser opera
tions. This effort, following as it does
the effort made in recent years to con
trol the coal bearing lands by cer
tain great interests, may lead eventu
ally to the control of both the lands
und the plants. It will take this and
money to accomplish a program of this
kind, but It is one of the things to
which the coal trade is tending.
"The association movement, a move
ment that contemplates the creation
of a statistical organization In the
major-producing districts for the
purpose of gathering facts as to pro
duction and sale or consumption of j
coai. Is another effort in the same di
rection. With the figures of produc
tion in their possession, the operators
can tell to what extent there is over
production and can also tell what the
result on prices will be If the same rate
of production Is continued. This or
ganization will also complete the cost
of production and the oost of selling
ajid be Intelligently informed as to the
minimum selling price each producer
must get In order to avoid loss. The
originators of the movement hope to
get the coal producers to sell their
product for not less than the actual
cost of production including all ex
panses attending It.
"It will thus be seen that what might
be termed a practical mastery or con
trol of tho bituminous trade Is slowlv
being accomplished. The coal lands
and the plants are being controlled,
as well as the method and degree of
operation, but it will no doub! be a
long time before these efforts can ac
complish very great results. What
has been done, however, may be look
ed upon as the beginning of a rational
control of the great Industry. It
would be a fortunate thing for the
rude If no n«w operations were start
ed during the next nve years and the
existing operations could be controlled
to meet the demands of the market,
•t would remove the danger of over
production and the consequent break
in prices that always proves ruinous
to some of the operators Just at a time
Alien a profit seems to be in slsht and
iilso seriously affects the comfort and
welfare of the employe* by lowering
their wages.

AGRICULTURAL
OUTLOOK BETTER
Hav and Fruit Prospects Are
Reported as Improving in
Reports to State
Summaries of reports made to the
j State Department of Agriculture are
i generally favorable just now and the
late winter and Spring does not seem
I to have wrought muoh damage.
The May 1 reports from all motions
jnf the State show a decided gain in
the prospects of a normal peach crop
over the indications of a month ago.
In Adams county, the center of the
poach belt the indications on May 1
were for Tfi per cent of a normal crop
against 52 per cent on April 1.
According to reports from all sec
.tons of the State the livestock is in
splendid condition. In twenty-one
counties the condition is reported
above the average wnile in twenty-six
counties the condiUon is normal. L<it
tle disease is reported and the live
stock has spent a splendid Winter.
Keports from crop correspondents
state that the clover meadows, wheat
and rye have heen very little damaged
this Spring by heaving and splendid
crops are expected.
Motor Cars That Sell on
Merit Builds Big Industries
"The automobile industry is making
its spectacular progress because it Is
working on the principle that the
United States is a nation of good buy- :
ers rather than one of good salesmen," j
said E. G. Soward. sales manager of the
Thomas B. Jeffery Company in an in- |
terview yesterday.
"Building cars that will sell them-!
selves is the only road to continued
success, said Mr. Soward, "because*
this nation of good buyers looks first
for quality and value. No salesman, no
matter how expert he is. can continue
to sell cars if they d<> not possess these
two things.
The instantaneous success of the
new Jeffery Six was a striking ex
ample of the principle, according to Mr
Soward. This car was Introduced at
the New ork and Chicago shows al
most without a line of advertising Yet'
within two months the Thomas B
Jeffery Company was compelled to:
double its planned production because
of thf immediate appeal of the quality
and value of the car.
"The Jeffery Six has the simplest I
chassis of any car on the market." I
continued Mr. Soward. "and produces'
spectacular power even at ordinary
speeds. It is s roomy, comfortable,
beautiful car. But the thing that In
fluenced the buyer, was that he could
tsee for himself more (rood liable fual
j Ity and value for every dollar of Its
! price than lie had ever expected to !
see. ' I
So long as the automobile industry I
continues to work on Its present prlncl-
I pie on.- oil which the Thomas B 1
Jeffery Company worked even In the !
old days when It was manufacturing
bicycles, it will continue to grow ao- '
:ording to Mr. Soward. As soon as it I
iiegiiif to depend on salestnenship rath- ■
nr than on quality and value, it will
oegln to decline.
Indian Motorcycles Adopted ;
by Spanish Artillery:
As testimony of the efficiency and i
! adaptability of the Indian, the Hendee
Company at Sprinjcfleld, Mass., has re
cently received photocraphs of the
Spanish Army Dispatch Unit, equip
ped with the Indian Cradle Spring
Twins, ready for instant service by
riders or, with the aide carriages at
tached, as conveyances for officers In
their quick dashes from post to post.
Spain has profited by her lesson of
| IX9B. and prompted further by the l
danger of being drawn Into the pres- ;
r-nt conflict, she has been untiring In '
her efforts to build up a strong defen
sive armv equipped with the most ap- !
; proved machinery of modern warfare
: adequate to maintain her borders from ;
all comers. And to this end there :
have been severe tests of all equip- ]
tnent in an effort to develop a fighting
I unit equal In efficiency to any army
] in Europe.
The rough mountain roads among
the Pyrenees tax the endurance and
worth of any vehicle, and their steep
i ascents demnnd power and range of i
speed In Its highest development, i
Moreover, dispatch riding Is not a 1
pastime—lt !■ a Hfe-and-death errand
requiring nerve, vitality, endurance, j
and above all ability to take advantage
of every opportunity afforded amid I
the hazards of war. These qualities !
are demanded not only of the rider |
himself, hut also of that which he
rides, he !t flesh or machine; and right ;
there Is where the Tndlan scored twice
In Its tests before the Spanish mill- j
tary authorities.

Trucks Than It Costs My Competitor
to Keep One Going
"BUT OF COURSE his isn't a Reo!"
THAT-'S WHAT ONE OWNER teils us. And hundreds of other business men
endorse every word he says.
THAT LOW MAINTENANCE cost, for which this Reo 2-Ton Motor Truck is
famous, is after all, the chief reason for the tremendous Rec success.
AND THAT IN TURN—that extremely low cost of upkeep—is directly due to that
Reo safety factor "50 per cent over-size in all vital parrs."
50 PER CENT EXTRA strength—so per cent surplus scabilicv —you cannot over
estimate the value of that to you as an owner.
WHEN YOU OWN REO TRUCKS vou know —you are absolutely certain —that
when one starts out with a load —even an hundred per cenc overload —it will
deliver it and return on schedule — on the minute.
OF COURSE Reo accuracy in machining, following as it does Reo precision in
designing, add their quota to Reo stability—Reo dependability.
AND WHEN ALL'S SAID and done, you can sum it all up in the one word Reo—
which stands for most in Good Intent, in Integrity and in Exoenence.
GET A REO and be sure—you have neither time nor inclination to experiment
when for the same price or iess vou can buy certainty, security.
