Sutton's recent movements were questioned by Attorney Baker, repre senting Maloney. The detective said Elsie Phelps had been and is staying at his home, and that on Wednesday night of this week Mrs. Melson, with members of the Omaha Detective as sociation, pursued him and Mrs. Phelps from the Strand theater to Sixteenth and Farnam streets, that Mrs. Melson might get a look at Elsie Phelps, whom Sutton declared the Melson woman did not know.

Phone Doug. 6187 WE HAVE A GOOD PROPOSITION FOR AGENTS w ll Every Farmer Wkh tht Ne)p a GMC Drawing: made from photo graph of 0. M. 0. in use in the harvest fields. Truck can solve his hauling problem -as well as did this one If a farmer lives fourteen and one-half miles from market and has 500 bushels or more of wheat to haul to the elevator, what will it cost him per bushel to deliver it by old methods'? Here is what a man did in Eastern Washington recently with a 2-ton GMC Truck : He drove the truck 145 miles seventy-two and one-half miles the truck was loaded. He made five round trips each trip was 'twenty-nine miles. The total hours from start to finish, counting out two hours for meals, was thirteen. Total number of tons haule'd 15 Number of bushels of wheat hauled. .522 Gallons of gasoline used 20 Quarts of lubricating oil 3 There were three grades on the trip that averaged be tween 10 and 11, two grades of and at no time on the entire trip did he use low gear. Figure it out and esti mate the cost per bushel when hauled by truck. Another point in favor of the GMC is the saving of time an important element when delivering produce that changes in price daily. The Farmer of Today is Using instead of his high priced teams to haul his hay, grain, hogs, etc. to market Thus the plowing mowing, cultivating and other work which must be done by horses is not delayed or checked with the in evitable loss of time and' money because the teams are pressed into the haul ing service. ?!hen too, fanners have ound that the GMC's will do the trucking much cheaper and quicker than horses, for they will handle larger loads and cover the ground Jwice as fast.
