AUTO TRUCKS LARGE HELP TO DAIRYMAN OVER ROUTE Michigan Farmer Uses Reo In Carry ing 6,30() Pounds Over 90 Miles Each Day—Local Firm Gets Oar Load Ira Wilson, dairyman, of Bedford, Mich., savs it would be impossible to do with horses what he does with mo tor trucks. Not only would it be im possible for the horses to cover the ground the motor trucks do, but the slow pace of the horses would render the entire proposition out of the ques tion. Mr. Wilson carries milk, not only from his own, but from surrounding dairy farms, on contract with the De troit Creamery Company on a basis of so much per hundred pounds per mile. His present equipment is two Reo two-ton trucks—and he has an order in for a third. Bach of these trucks covers ninety miles every day and car ries, instead of its rated two-ton load, from three to three and one-half tons of milk. Any practical dairyman will under stand when he is told that the load consists of sixty to sixty-three ten gal lon cans of milk. To the uninformed, it will be necessary to explain that ten gallons of milk weighty eighty pounds and that the cans themselves weigh twenty-three to twenty-seven pounds each. It's a simple problem in multi plication to prove that the minimum load is 6,300 pounds and the maximum 6,8'1'5 pounds—and that is about three and one-quarter tons'without counting the driver. Of course the truck does not go fully loaded both ways—hut it does carry that load over fortynfive miles of Michigan roads every d'ay, four miles of which are virgin sand—and the-entire route is ninety miles. The truck starts out in the morning from Bedford, goes to Detroit; from there it goes to Cherry Hill where it picks up the second load and back into Detroit; thence home to Bedford again ready to repeat the performance the next day. "We have never missed a trip sum mer or winter," says Mr. Wilson, "and these Beo trucks have been in service for two years.'' Asked if he was making money on the contract, Mr. Wilson laughed and pointed to a huge pile of vitrified hol low tile heaped up in the barnyard. "You see I am goinig to build two more of the finest silos that can be had and by the way, my new Beo Six touring car just arrived from the factory last night." It looks as if Mr. Wilson had made no mistake by chang ing from the old, slow horse equip ment to motor trucks. " Until we introduced trucks for de livering milk, it was impossible to mar ket half of the produce from this sec tion, said Mr. Wilson. " There is only one train a day and to send it by horses was impossible—it weuld spoil before it got there. Beo trucks have more than doubled the earning capacity of the farmers hereabouts." The Harrisburg Auto Company, lo cal "Beo" distributors, are delighted with the business results this year and feel proud of having exercised the wis dom of purchasing a whole train load of Reo cars in March which were de livered to them in April and now are almost all sold. The Reo factory J s working night and day to fill orders and the people of Lansing, Mich., were never so busily engaged as they are at present.—Adv.* MEMORFALIYEVENTS Scores of motorcycle clubs will take advantage of the two holidays which come on May 30 and 31 to stage pleas ure or endurance runs. Following are some of the clubs which are planning Memorial Day events: Keystone Motorclycle Club, of Har risburg, Pa., sociability run to Balti more, aid fifty cents a day each for their labor. E. Kent 'Hiubbard, a member of the 'board of directors, wiio is working in close co-opeiation with t'he National Committee on Prisons and Prison Labor, states that the fifty boys to be em ployed in this work will be selected by Superintendent Garvin and th-e -u-utual Welfare League. The league is the or ganization of the inmates which Mr. 'Hulbbard and Superintendent Garvin are fostering, as is Thomas Mott Oa borne, the prisonersleagues in Sing Sing and Auburn prisons, New York. The' Highway Department is to retain full responsibility for the construction work, providing all materials and tools. It will also pay to the superintendent the wages for the men, which they may send to their families or hold until parolled. The 'boys wi'llynot wear stripes or dis tinctive uniforms while at their work, and will probably be taken to it in trol ley cars, 'having their dinner sent to them. The directors do not fear at tempts to escape, as the gTowth of the league has developed a spirit of self respect and good conduct among the men, and those who will be told off for the work will put backbone into it and do their fart towards making it a suc cess. This road work is a long step for ward for Connecticut, as its State pris oners and most of the inmates of its county jails are still employed under the contract system. The National Com mittee on Prisons and Prison Ijabor has carried on such a vigorous campaign against this system thait success in oth er la'bor systems will be welcomed by the citizens of the State. EXPENSE OFKEEPINGA CAR George R. Bentley Gives Some Timely Advice to the Prospective Automobile Buyer "When you talk about the upkeep and general expense of a motor car," said George R. Bentley, proprietor of the Riverside Auto Co. and local dealer in Paige automobiles, "the prospective automobile purchaser in buying his car should not only be careful and consider the gasoline and oil expense that he will incur on his new model, but he should also look into the cost of repair expense. This can be easily determined by an investigation of the present own ers of the model the purchaser has in mind. An owner is always very glad to talk about his car and toll a future prospective owner the exact satisfaction he is getting from his present model. Ore visit the garage- man, ask him .vhat so and so car costs to maintain a year, and how often it is in the shop for re pairs. Get the dealer's advice on this subject—tell him to show you figures that he has probably compiled from statistics furnished him by owners. I "To my mind, this expense of opera tion is the most important subject'that an automobile owner has to consider in buying a car. It cannot be investigat ed too carefully."

NEW ENGLAND TO GET MANY AUTO TOURISTS THIS YEAR Board of Directors of American Auto mobile Association to Take Initial Step May 18 by Traveling Route of Paul Revere Washington, D. C., May B.—New England is confidently looking forward to an increased r umber of road visitors, despite the fact that this year the call of the Pacific coast is being leally rec ognized for the first time. With nearly two million car owners now traveling the highways, it is safe to say that many thousands at one time or another during the year yield to the wanderlust which is latent in every motorist. In entertaining the annual meeting of the board of directors of the Amer ican Automobile Association, May 17 and 18, Boston will signalize what might bo considered an official opening of the road season in New England. President John A. Wilson has made clear to the directors that they are at liberty to bring with them as many members as possible to participate in the meeting and alio in the entertain ment which will bo interspersed. Former president of the A. A. A. and the present head of the Massachusetts State association, Lewis R. Spcare, has arranged for a local committee, of which Chester I. Campbell is the ener getic chairman. This committee will take in hand the historic ride over tho route once followed by Paul Revere, which will take place on the morning of the second day, witli moving picture accompaniment, in order that the event may be reproduced in th<; A. A. A. clubs' throughout the country. The Massachusetts Automobile Club not ouly has offered to take care of the cars of members who tour to Boston, but this pioneer organization will also provide cars for those who are unable to make the trip over the road. Monday will be devoted to the busi ness affairs of.the association, with the annual banquet in the evening, Tuesday being given over entirely to the enter tainment. Boston and its vicinity are replete with historical reminders, be sides which its attractive suburbs and many seaside resorts offer innumerable attractions for motorists.
