LIVE STOCK HAULED BY TRUCKS GAINS Transported Nearly Half of Total to 17 Marketing Cen- ters Last Year. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, January 30.—Half the| butchered live stock in the United States | rode to market on rubber tires last year. ¥ Motor trucks transported more than | Mai 23,000,000 head from farm to market during 1932. This was 41 per cent of “otal receipts at 17 principal marketing centers in the Nation and measured a gain of 10 per cent over 1931, & com- plll:’tlon by the Corn Belt Farm Dailies sal Receipts at the 17 markets by truck during the year totaled 23,385 436 head, the year before the total was 21,162,- 430. In 1925, less than 10 per cent was transported by truck, the total being 5,378,868 head. These totals, however, comprised only a portion of the live stock handled by truck. At dozens of smaller markets and interior packing plants nearly all receipts were trucked in. No record of these is available nor of the number transported from farm to raflroad sidings. It was estimated 1925,000 truck loads were required to deliver the 33,000,000 head to the markets. The average haul was 85 miles, but trips of approximately 800 miles were by no means rare. In terms of tonnage, the weight of all this live stock reached 3,500,000 tons. Hogs represented nelrly half with cattle not far behind. Sheep and calves made up about 12 per cent of the total. It would take approximately 370,000 freight cars to carry all these animals. This would be approximately 5,000 trains of 75 cars each PREPARE FOR UPRISING Mexican Federals to Fight At- tempt to Unseat Puebla Governor.

I also noticed that the cigarettes were well-filled, seemed to be the right length and the right cir- oumference, and burned uniformly—not up one side and down the other. I liked the aroma—very pleasing. I liked the sppearance of the cigarette—the paper, dead white. The package rather appealed to me. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I just like ‘em. It’s about the only luxury that I enjoy; so I think it’s all right for me to have a good cigarette, sad I believe Chesterfield is just about the best.
