RURAL MERCHANT IN TRUCK GAME Storekeepers Add "Ship-by- Truck" Departments to Their Service Is the rudal merchant, using his own motor trucks, in the best posi tion to make rural motor express a big thing in American life? Transportation experts in the Chamber of Commerce at Indianap olis are inclined to answer affirma tively. "That the rural merchant is in'a position to give the first big impetus to the rural motor Express and the great things it will accomplish is in dicated by the experience of Gen try Brothers, general merchandise, of Monrovia, Ind.," writes Joe Kelly in the current issue of the trade jour nal published by the Chamber of Commerce of the Indiana capital city. "They have a fleet of four trucks which are kept busy hauling mostly to and from Indianapolis. The trucks make money for Gentry Brothers. They serve to enlarge the business service of Gentry Brothers and to take rnaney of the hauling burdens off the community. "Leaving Menrovia every morning the men in charge of the trucks get all the orders for goods in Indianap olis the other merchants have and on arriving in Indianapolis one man goes to the various wholesale houses, places these orders to be filled, and then later in the day, after the loads for Indianapolis have been delivered, goes to each of these places, loads the merchandise and starts the drive home. "Of course it is important to Gen try Brothers that their own freight from Indianapolis be handled prop erly. Around their own transporta tion demands all these other .ele ments of service are built. "The Gentry Brothers' store serves as a sort of clearing house for de liveries. If there is a full load the the Gentry Brothers' truck goes to the farm after it or to deliver it. If it is but a small part of a load 'it is generally brought to the Gen try Brothers' store by the farmer to be hauled to Indianapolis. Or if the order is lor a part for the farm tractor or for other farm implements Gentry Brothers haul it to their own store and the farmer drives in l and gets it." Several other instances of rural motor express curried on by mer chants in Indiana towns are then cited by the writer. "Jap',' Jones, at Waverly.'t he says, "has a motor truck, which is a big investment for him, hauling merchandise and provisions to and from Indianapolis. "At Louisville, Ind„ Lewis Broth ers, merchants, utilize the motor truck to carry the products of their community to Indianapolis and take back supplies from the Indianapolis wholesalers. The same thing is done in Eminence, where Eliot Brothers and V. A. Reitzell, both merchants wit hplenty of initiative, find not only that this motor truck hauling is porfitable, but that it enlarges the influence of their stores." In calling attention to this phase of the ship-by-truck movement, the Firestone Shlp-by-Truck Bureau at Akron, 0., writes as follows to J. H. Dutch, manager of the Harris burg branch of the bureau, at 212 North Second street: "We believe the Indianapolis Charnber of of Commerce has offer ed a valuable suggestion to rural merchants and one well worthy of consideration by your branch. By presenting the possibilities suggest ed in the rural communities of your territory you shoU|d be performing a real service not only to country storekeepers but also to the com munities at large. • "The rural storekeeper is a bus iness man. He will not give the ship-by-truck movement a Jrtack eye by taking unwarranted chances. He will figure costs closely and pro ceed cautiously. Starting with a single truck he will Jbvelop a fleet as the need makes itself evident. The people of the community know htm'and will not hesitate to trust their goods in his hands. At first liis own business will engage most of his truck capacity. With this business as the backbone of the new undertaking, he can develop the motor truck express business as one of the d*t>artments of his store, with profit to himself and to his com munity."

HARJ USBTJttG flFflftfkl TELEGRAPH SENATE FINALLY CONFIRMS PALMER Approves Selection as Attor ney General After a Long Session . Washington, Aug. 30.—1n an ex ecutive session , which lasted two hours an<t a half, the Senate lest night without a record vote con firmed the -nomination of A. Mitch ell Palmer to be Attorney Geneial. Confirmation of Mr. Palmer's nomination terminated a fight which began last session and which grew out of criticisms of his ad ministration of the office of alien property custodian. Opposition to his nomination re sulted in blocking action upon it at the close of the last session but when the present session convened. President Wilson again sent it to the Senate. At the request of Sen tor Frclinghuysen, Republican, New Jersey, it wa# referred to the ju diciary committee which appointed a subcommittee which held exten sive hearings and later by unani mous vote favorably reported the nomination and exonerated the At torney General of any wrong doing in connection with the office of alien property. At the executive session last night most of the time, it was understood, was taken up by Senator Frcling huysen in an attack upon Mr. Pal mer during which the New Jersey Senator read extensively from testi mony taken at the hearings y in an effort to show he was unfitted for the position.
