Will Serve to Stimulate a Cem munity Spirit and Have Far Reaching Influence,

M. E. Noblet, secretary of the Hoosier State Automobile Association, believes the Rural Motor Express and Return Loads program will serve to stimulate a community spirit that will have far reaching influence. Mr. Noblett declares the three great economic advantages increased food production, conservation of labor and relief of (he railroads, are sufficient justification for the extension of the enterprise. But he sees, also, through the more general use of the motor truck, a welding into closer relation

ship and better understanding, 'the country producer and the city consumer; the facilitation of the riiral mail delivery, the increased .interest in and support of good roads movements, and finally and most important of all, a direct contribution to the national forces engrossed with the problem of winning the war. Richmond and other Indiana cities, outside of Indianapolis, have witnessed the development of the usefulness of the motor truck as a common carrier. Individual truck owners chad found much encouragement in eatah.

World Food Demand Increased, The end of the war will create an enormously increesed demand for food. Humanity demands that the starving millions freed from Prussian oppression shall have sufiicient supplies to assure their return to health and prowperity. If these liberated nations are faced with starvation they cannot e.stahlish orderly go vera in outs. Hunger breeds anarchy In a people. The war to free the world for democracy will be lost after It has been won. America must continue Its work to lihexution and by sharing its food make de

mocracy safe in the world. In order to meet this new situation the Food Administration has made a careful survey of the food resources of the whole world in relation to the total demands. Computing supplies on the basis of the avoidance of waste and war consumption, it is found tiat wheat and rye may be obtained in auf-ti'-ient quantities to meet economical world consumption ; high protein feed for dairy animals will show a shortage of about 3,000,000 tons, vhllc there will be sufficient supplies. jf other feeds to allow economical, 'consumption ; beans, peas and rice will also be found in sufficient quantities to mi4ntain economy In consumption; taere are sufficient supplies of beef to keep pace with the capacity of refrigerating space L Great Fat Shortage. The most distinct reversal of policy will come with pork and dairy products, vegetable oils, sugar and cofee. Utmost economy will be required In the use of fats and oils, In which ther is a world shortage of about 3,000,000,000 pounds.

United States Food Administrator Hoover has approved tho Rural Motor Express and tho Return Loads in the following statement: "Tho development of the rural motor express idea, In my opinion, is in tho line of progress and should redound to the benefit of the producer, tho consumer, and tho railroads. This means of transportation should facilitate delivery, conserve labor, conserve foodstuffs, and should effect delivery of food in better condition,"
