JAGKY BAND 10 BE FEATURE OF BIGTRUCK CIRCUS Second ‘Aggregation of Gob Musicians Comes Next Week It is.not often that an opportunity comes to hear a United States naval band--a real jackie band—but such is to be the good fortune of this city on Aug. 29. when a band composed of twenty-five jackies from the Great Lakes naval training station will bo here with a caravan of motor trucks known as the National Motor Truck Development tour. Krom time to time the jackie bands from this training station have par- ticipated in home coming celebrations | honoring returning soldiers and sail- ors, ‘but this is the first time that a jackie band has had the opportunity to go on tour of 3,030 miles in motor trucks, and it is the first time that one has ever. been sent on a tour through the great farming section of the middle west. Under the direction of Licut. F. M. Willson the band is giving concerts in the various towns on the route being followed ‘by a caravan of pneumatic tired motor trucks. These trucks are making the tour to demonstrate to the farmers of Illinois, Iowa, South and North Dakota, Minnesota and Wiscon- sin thé practicability” of the motor truck ‘as a farm tool. The band boys are having an enjoy- able time and are attracting a gréat deal of attention in all the towns and cities on-the route of travel. They are a ‘typical bunch of sailor boys, with all the glow of youth upon them. And they are from all ‘the walks in life. Aniong them ‘are two-boys whose fathers are millionaires. While this motor truck tour is not be- ing conducted under official sanction of the government, yet the govern- ment’s action in definitely assigning this band for two montis’ service with the tour is’ an indication of the importance that is attached to: the tour.’ There Is hardly any other meth-}| od by which farmers can speed up | production ‘and {naugurate ‘economies | in operation, offeritig the benefits that! can ‘be secured’ through the use of motor trucks on the farm. There is no greater service that a farmer can ‘perform for his country right now = than to increase farm yields to the limit. -Labor is short and in some localities, almost impos- siblé to secure. Yet the farmer must preduce, no matter what the condi- tions. ALR. Kroh, a farmer of 15 years experience, who has made a study of the uses of the motor truck on the farm and has used them . is with the tour. He will talk to the farmers of this vicin- ity explaining just now motor trucks may’ become valuable farm tools and will see. that demonstrations are made showing what can be dono with a truck in farming operations. These demonstrations will’ be made in ac- cordance with the recommendations of the local committee men that have been’ appointed’ to boost the tour here. There-is no desire to boost any par- ticular type or make of truck, the en- tire tour -having conceived with the idea of rendering the greatest assist- ance to the farmers by bringing theit| at the Nation : own farms motor truck ith which | pakers The q i ef Preaey ERAT See ne B . quiet, dignified lines of to mieke bra cpl: dem agtrations, these new cars, their speed, power WANTED—Second hand office and traditional dependability, have desk.

York, “the greatest hero of them all,” who captured al- | most an entire company of Germans single-handed has undertaken a. lec: ture tour. For the present, however, it will be confined to that section of ‘Tennessee in which he was quite well known even before the war as an el- der of the-church. His purpose is to raise enough money to build and equip a modern school house for the children of Fentress county. He will make his lecture tour by automobile, having bought a Dodge Brothers tour- i r of the Cumberland Motor Co,, in Nashville, Tenn. York had ample opportpnity to observe the terrific conditions under which motor cars op- erated during the war in France and t was this observation that influenced him in his choice of a car. Fentress county is even more sadly neglected in roads than in schools, he says, and it will require a car like those that ed the test in France to carry him through. ‘ Many Prominent Men at Nation’s Capital Own Studebaker Six New Car Is Very Popular With Leaders in State and Mili- tary Affairs ‘Many prominent men in the affairs of the nation find the motor car not only a means of obtaining much need- ed relaxation, from the'daily grind of law making, but Rave come to look up- on the automobile as an actual neces- sity.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR The Ford car can well be called the “peoples car,” because there are them in daily operation. That is about four to one of the nearest follower in the motor car industry. This would not be so if the Ford car had not for sixteen years proven its superiority in service, in durability, and in the low cost for operation and maintenance; this would not be so if the Ford car was not so easy to understand, so simple in construction that anybody and everybody can safely drive it. your order for one now to avoid delay in delivery.
