Motor Trucks Extend Food Supply Radius 50 W!es HERBERT HOOVER says: “The motor truck given every town an extended radius of food supply by some 50 miles, an d thereby protects such vital matters as milk and perishables.’’ Formerly 10 miles was as far as the farmer could profitably haul his produce, the increasing number of motor trucks on the farm is making the farmer more and more independent of other forms of transportation. It is extending a primary market five times, giving the farmer greater security and doing much to insure him the full profit from his crops and produce. E. E. La Schum, Superintendent of Equipment of ( the American Railway Express Company, says that while the average mileage of trucks is about 40 miles per day, they are capable of making 100 miles without undue strain. This means that in every truck there are 60 unused daily transportation miles, which can be used when emergency calls. The farmers of the 10 states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) own 46,582 trucks. These represent unused, potential transportation of 2,794,920 miles per day —quite enough to make the farmer feel reasonably independent and to make the city dweller secure. The value of these trucks to their owners, and to the community, depends upon an ample supply of gasoline and oils, instantly available when needed. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), recognizing its duty to the public, has organized its distributing facilities to a point where only a complete breakdown of public utilities can prevent its supplying these trucks with oil and gasoline needed, no matter in what comer of the 10 states they may be. In the cycle of service to which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is committed, the truck plays just as important a part as the automobile and the tractor. This entire organization is working as one man, to perfect a complete service, and to maintain this service at such a maximum of efficiency that no piece of automotive machinery in the Middle West need ever be delayed a single moment of usefulness through lack of suitable petroleum products.

Independent teams In Jonesboro. Muncie, Marlon, Alexandria. Dunkirk ( and other Indiana cities have all play- f! ed two or more games. Early sea 1 sen contests among the athletics club 1 t'c.ms have drawn good crowds. The game between Bl wood high . school and the Technical high school of Indianapolis, Friday, Sept. 29, will mark the opening ot the high school ■I ason. The game will be played on Technicals new athletic field. Manual training high school of Indianapolis will open its season Sat 1 urday Sept. 30, meeting Marion high school at Marion. Shortridge high school moots El- 1 wood Jefferson high school of Lafayette, Brazil and Richmond besides playing the three Indianapolis high schools. Technical, Manuel and Cathedral.

Difficult and Easy Football Schedules — By Henry L. Farrell (United Press Sports Editor) New- York. Sept. 21. — Football 1 'schedules for the major elevens. 1922, are a mixture of some extremely hard : going and some exceedingly soft sail i ing. Yale, with the prospects of a very fine team, lias arranged a very difficult schedule. It the Elis get over the bumps ahead of them. Y’ale can I come near claiming the national chain I ■ pionship—this side of the Pacific I Coast. On successive Saturdays from Sept. 23, tile New Haven eleven will i play Bates, Carnegie. North Carolina. lowa. Williams, Army. Brown, Mary-1 land. Princeton and Harvard. That is some schedule! In marked contract to Yale, there | is the case of Cornell, one of the best | I scoring teams of 1921, with the out- ' look for a great combination this fall. Instead of giving the team a ached-1 lule that would allow it a real ranking after the season, the Cornell management arranged games that look like an obvious ambition for an undefeated { season. Cornell plays St. Bonaventure, Niagara, New Hampshire State, lowa' Wesleyan. Columbia, Dartmouth, Albright and Pennsylvania. Dartmouth is the only hard spot on the schedule. The “Bib Three” has been accused in the past of falling for tile lure oi set-ups, but Yale, Harvard and Princeton drew up some real opposition for 1922. Yale's schedule has been mentioned and Harvard has only a slightly easier ( task against Middlebury, Holy Cross, Dowtloin, Centre College, Dartmouth, ‘ Florida, Princeton. Brown and Yale. ( Princeton has breathing spells with some easy games scattered between . contests with Virginia, Colgate, Chi . cago, Harvard and Yale. I Lafayette, Washington and Jefferson. Pittsburgh, Dartmouth and Syra- 1 cuse have nothing to boast about and Pennsylvania has the Navy, Pittsf- J burgh and Penn State as its hardest games. The day is not far distant when a national championship may be award ed unofficially through a large number of important inter-sectional games. The list of east against west and south this fall is most imposing. Some ot the major intersectional battles are [.

Farrell rolled I‘l-,-sm Stag Correspondent New York, Sept. 20. —Both New York ball < lulls made a blind grab in the bag this year anti pulled out a (I'uter-flelder. John Mi l'raw had to have some on< to take (he place of George Burns and when his expensive rookie, Ralph t hinners, went wrong he had to call on Casey Stengel, who had simply been the jester ot the club. The outfield of the Yanks has been notably punk for several years. Last winter the club owners tried to buy every center fielder in the league witii tlie exception of Cobb and Speaker and they failed. Finally, Connie Mack ocered Whitey Witt for the waiver price and the Yanks grabbed him. Both Stengel and Witt filled the hole on tlie two clubs. Both have played good ball all season and their work in the early part of the race did much to keep their clubs up in i Hie fight. Witt can get around faster than with the stick att (he Giant center Stengel but he is not as dangerous 1 elder. Stengel can break up a ball game any time with a long clout while Wilfs'- greatest proficiency is bunting. Witt is a better base runner than Stengel also. “Baby Doll" Jacobson, the Brown ; enter-fielder, slipped a little hit this y. ar He batted in streaks and he was benched several times during the | season in the hope that a rest would i bring back his eye. Bill Cunningham, the utility man I of the Giants, is a fine young ball player and he may get into the series although he usually works only against I left handers. Cunningham is much faster than Stengel, Witt or Jacobson and is a I first class ball player. Day in and day out, however. Witt perhaps is the best player, with JaI cobson third. wonderful for SICK STOMACHS That’s what every stomach sufferer says after taking one or two doses of Dr. Orth's Great Stomach PreI scription.
