In Omaha re?ently after driving- a model
"T" flve-passenger Ford 1,150 miles over
roada whlrh would be almost Impassa
ble for a mula team, let alone a motor
car.
In speaking of the trip Mr. Brown says
that If snyone had told htm beforehand
that any rar would stand the strain to
which his Kord woa subjected on thla
trip, he would not have believed It, and
If he had known the condition to be en
countered he certainly would never hav
started. The roada were very bad, prac
tlcally the entire 1.150 mllea from Dexter
to Omaha, and for day after day they
plowed through mud hub deep. In on
Place the road waa hardly more than a
cow path, and they covered fifty-four
mllea without seeing a ign of a human
habitation.
Eaeoaiter CloatTkarat.
. Tn another aectton, which had been vis
ited the night before by a cloudburst,
they were compelled to go through mile
after mile of knee-deep gumbo. At this
point, another car which had been trav-'
ellng with them, wag forced to give up,
and the roada we,re ao bad that they
were only able to cover thla day about
fifty miles and most of trie with the car
running tn low gear. Four rivers were
forded en route. Including the Arkansas,
Cimarron and two smaller ones.
Twenty Mllea to Gallon.

n6t touched during the whole trip and
that they averaged about twenty miles to
a gallon of gasoline. He waa accompa
nied on the trip by his wife and son. and

The car used on this trip bad already

shape, . and with a few minor adjust
ments ready for another trip of the sajne

"It was a complete failure, so we Im
mediately placed our order for another
Plerte-Arrow truck. When I say that
the truck war a failure, I mean that it
did not release the ftve teams as we had
planned, for as soon as the. large whole
sale fish packing houses, car refrigerat
ing firms and others In the neighborhood
saw how easily we were able to fill rush
orders for large quantities, the orders
came in so fast that we had to put the
teams all back and order another truck.
"Even with the help of the two five
ton trucks, both of which replace five
teams - and. ten men, we have found ' it
n6sfyt order third truck, two

H.B.Joy Deplores
Attacks Made by
Some on Business
"The fedrrsl reserve banking system
should not le pressed Into operation until
the units are at least partially organ
ised to transact business." declared Henry
H. Joy, president of the Packard Motor
Car company, upon Ms return to Detroit
from Chicago, where he attended a meet
Ing of the board of the Chicago reeerve
bank. He added that the federal reverv
situation Is developing favorably and tnal
It will not greatly change existing con
ditions. Mr. Joy deplored the attacks upon In
dustry and prosperity made by politi
cians. "These attacks, along with un
wise legislation," he said, "are far more
serious than any conditions arising from
Ihe European war, and wilt laat much
longer. It Is strange that the people
will listen to attacks upon big business
and constructive wealth when their wel
fare depends uton the welfare of those
companies, and their savings are Invested
In those companies by the banks and In
surance companies. Into which go their
surplus earnings to 'make prevision for
their old age or disablement, .and for
their widows and children."
