DEMAND FOR MOTOR TRUCKS IN THE SOUTH IS INCREASING DAILY I'. ,1. Titus, who has just completed a tour through the Southern states to es tablish dealers for Aleo trucks and cars in this territory, reports that "the pros pects for motor trucks in the Southern states are extremely bright.” “The cotton crops have been unusual ly good," continued Mr. Titus. "Both those of the early season and the pres ent crops are setting a record. The only drawback the Southerner has had to contend with is in the delivery of the cotton to tiie mills and to railroad de pots. This has caused most of the Southerners to become deeply interest ed in the motor truck. "The truck offers an unusual oppor tunity to the Southern business man. for during the last part of th* month of December and during January and Feb ruary his horses and mules are often idle. This brings up one of the strong est points in favor of the motor truck— when left Idle, motor trucks do not con sume gasoline or oil, while the mules must be fed. Most of the Southerners have large stables of mules, requiring many attendants." The Atlanta Georgian Automobile Department I MOTOR TRUCKS ARE RAPIDLY COMING INTO UNIVERSAL USE i The controversy between the hm.-< ■ and the motor truck is becoming one t sided. Every day sees old “Dobbin" ■ losing more ground. According to the t .'■tatement of Manager R. H. Losey, of the Atlanta Buick branch, the demand ■ tor the light delivery one-ton truck is t increasing by leaps and bounds. Many ■ of the smaller cities and towns are see • ing the horse supplanted by motor I trucks which are also invading the > farms in large numbers. Throughout the country In hundreds ■ of rural communities Buick one-ton ■ wagonette trucks with seating capacity for sixteen persons are used for passen ger service between points not reached 1 by railroads, and in many places they are competing successfully against i steam and electric cars. There are ten of these lines in central Indiana alone, according to Mr. Losey. Especially is the service of the truck valuable in the . winter when the weather conditions make traffic with horses hazardous and difficult. BIG CANADA SHOW.

Most modern connections are made with ground joints, which require no wash ers at all; if they become deranged, it is a simple matter to render them tight by grinding them in with a little crocus powder or emery Hour and oil. Difficulties attendant on the lighting of ordinary kerosene dashboard and tail lamps will vanish, it is claimed, if, be fore lighting, the wick is first turned up for about half an inch and then turned down to its proper height. The supposed effect is that of squeezing the oil up into the upper part of the wick, where it will more readily ignite when the flame is applied. Test the front wheels occasionally for smoothness of running and side play. Jack up each wheel and give it a tug and a push to see if there is any side play. If any is noticed, it should be remedied at once by taking up the bear ings. In spinning the wheel listen at the hub. If sharp clicks are heard it is an indication that there is a split or chipped ball, which should be removed. For varnishing metallic surfaces a mixture of common asphaltum and crude oil has been recommended. The asphaltum should be melted and crude oil stirred in slowly in increasing quan tities until a sample removed from the mass and cooled shows suitable varnish consistency. For its proper applica tion, the mixture should be applied while hot. When properly mixed, it is claimed to possess high heat-resisting properties and to have sufficient elas ticity for all practical purposes. ( A- f 33 ' 1 I I Shop early!
