TRUCK SHIPPING FROM 40 MILES TO SAVE MONEY Iowa Farmer Says Stock Rais ers Within Radius of Omaha Should Adopt Plan. f Shipping live stock to the local market by truck ia a paying busi ness, if shipments are not made from distances of over 40 miles from Omaha, according to F. H. Schultz of Treynor. Ia., who is said to be the first man to make a shipment of hoga to the local market in a truck. "Live stock raisers living within a circle of 40 miles in every direc tion of Omaha can make money by - shipping to the local market by truck," said Mr. Schulti yesterday, when he was in with a truckload of hogs. VThere is a decided advantage to those living within 20 or 25 miles of the market, as they can give their hogs a full feed in the morning and get them to market inside of two hours, when they can be fed again in the yard pens and sold by 11 a. m. without a particle of shrinkage. VThis is where the truck has an advantage over the railroad. It eliminates shrinkage, and I have known instances where the hogs weighed in heavier at the yards than they did at home."

The Wenger Motor company Is preparing for the biggest automo bile year in its history." On every hand the signs point to a record- breaking demand for high-grade cars during 1920.

As an example of this, condition, the Haynes Automobile company, Kokomo, Ind., points to an order recently placed by the Wenger Motor company, H5y"nes distributers located at Omaha, The order calls for 120 Haynes ears of both the open and closed models.

"We anticipate the biggest year in our existence," stated Mr. Wenger, "and we are going to get as many cars as we can purchase. Our terri tory is populated with prosperous people who appreciate the full money value they get when they purchase a Haynes character car. These folks are wanting cars of the Haynes type and we are going to do everything possible to see that we have cars to sell them." The Haynes, America's first car, now exhibited by the government at the Smithsonian institution, Wash ington, D. C. was invented, designed and built by Elwood Haynes in 1893.
