. size from one-half ton to five tons ADVANTAGES OF MOTOR TRUCK Save Much Time In Hauling Materials to and From Farm—Big Draw. back 1s Poor Rnds. # | i I | ' According to' an lnvestlgauon into the worth and service of motor trucks | on eastern farms, specialists in the United States Department of Agricul- ture find ;that.motor trucks,.as com- pared to horses and wagons, last year | saved from one-half to two-thirds of | the time required for hauling mate- rials to and from the farms. This ih- formation was gleaned from study of reports from 753 farms, and they showed further that trucks ranging in were in use, with about half of tliem i of the one tomw size. study of these reports is that about ! Australia is, in fact, nearly as TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1921 5 THE BEMIDJI DAll.Y PIONEER s cre o e S TR S TR DEFECT IN EXISTING MAPS | That They Are Not Drawn to Uniform Scale Is Felt to Be an Educa- i tional Handicap, It has long been the dream of geog- the world on a.uniform scale. Indeed, show all countries. by maps on a single, uniform scale, for unless a defit observes very carefully the igures showing the scale of each map or the figures showing the area of the .country mapped he is likely to get the impression that certain distant lands, which are generally mapped on a small scalé, are smaller than those with which he is most familiar, Take Australia, for example: The maps in the geographies now used in most of our schools show it on a small scale— about one-third as large as that used for the map of the United Star as the United States—only about one- fortieth (2% per cent) smaller. China is generally shown smaller in area An Interesting fact obtainéd from a | than the United States, yet it Is about one-third larger. one-fourth of 1ihose reporting have thanged their markets for at least a part of their produce. Instead of . patronizing their old markets at an average distance of seven miles from home, they go to better amarkets lo- cated at an average distance of 20 miles away. During the year these trucks trgveled an average of 3,820 miles at costs ranging from eight cents a ton mile for the ohe-half ton trucks to 20 cents a ton mile for the two ton size. T The average cost of hauling crops. with the driver's time valued at 50 cents an hour amounted to 50"cents a | ton mile with half ton trucks, 34 cents for three-fourths ton trucks and de- two ton kind. Along with, these costs, | four-fifths of those reporting stated that their trucks decreased their ex- pense for hired. help, this decrease | averaging $324 a year. The principal disadvantage of the motor truck, according to this investi- gation, was poor roads. It is stated Mud, Snow, Etc., Hold Motor Trucks Back. ing the year when the roads are in ‘such ‘condition, because of tud, snow, etc, that motor trucks cannot be used, as the roads over which three- fourths of the trucks had to travel were unpaved dirt ronds. But in spite of bad roads the average life of the trucks was placed at 6% to 7 years, and the largest single item of expense in connection with their operation was that of depreciation. Most of the owners of the one-half | und three-fourths ton trucks prefer pneumatic tires, the owners of one ton are about half divided between pneumatic and soltd tires, while those owning larger trucks were favorable to the solid tires. CHIEF BENEFITS BY -FARMER Lower Cost of Transportation, Witt Better Markets and Higher Prices for Products. Perbaps one of the chlef benefits which will be derived by the farmer from the construction of good roads through his particular district is that of an increased production coupled with a better market and higher price for his goods and a lower cost of transportation. All of these things go hand in hand with the construction of good roads and all of them have sound economic reasons at their base. Larger Percentage p' Students Attend Schools Regularly Where High- ways Are Improved. While it is true that various factors contribute to increase or reduce the attendance at schools in given sections of the country, it is worthy of com- ! ment that in the states having a high percentage of improved roads a much larger percentage of rural students enrolled regularly attend the schools than in the states having a small per- | centage of improved roads. Missouri' Organizing. Many of the county farm bureaus in Missouri are finding that the effec- tiveness of their organizations is in- creased by forming “farm bureau cen- ters” or community clubs.

Gentle Bossie, tired of the humdrum life of giving milk and butter for the hungry mouths of some family, and that there are about eight weeks dur- | bored with the pastoral quiet of the : | farm, determined the other night to | . have a taste of the gay life of the big ¢ity at least once before she crossed | she | the River Styx. Accordingly sought out the briglitest lights of the | city, a vaudeville house. But first her bovine majesty saun- , tered gayly up Elm street from La- | mar, gazing in the show windows as she roved. While in this vicinity she | even attempted to enter a street car. ‘Then, pursuing her primrose cours plodded on toward the center of the city-until-she-was-confronted with the gray, yellow lights brightening the front of a vandeville show. Not con- sidering whether she ‘would be a wel- come guest, Bossle walked into the +lobby of the show, thereby nearly *(‘auslng the head usher to be smitten with hysterics. He finally rec rushed at Bossle. Feeling that she was not wanted there, Bossie walked out again. At the door she was met by a re- ception committee consisting of two policemen who had been summoned and without ceremony she was roped i and led away to the city pound, where she brooded over the sights of the big city as she had seen them.—Dallas News.

Keno Hill is on the Mayo rjver, a trib- utary of the Stewart, 250 miles. south- east of Dawson. The camp has a popu- { lation of about 500.
