The standardized "type B" truck has been officially adopted as the standard heavy-duty truck for use by the army in all it departments requiring this capacity truck. A large number have been ordered and it is expected the first 10,000 will be completed about August 1, 1918. The 12-cylinder Liberty motor, according to a statement by the War Department, weights 826 pounds and develops 450 horsepower, or a weight of 1.8 pounds per horsepower. The gasoline consumption s approximate ly 0.46 pound per horsepower hour. Next to the agregate number of subscribers, perhaps the most strik ing feature of the third Liberty loan was the support given It by the farm ing and rural populations of the country, according tg a Btatement by the Treasury Department. Not only did the farmer purchase liberally of the bonds, but the rural communi ties a a rule were more prompt in completing their quota of the loan than the larger clue. More man 20,000 communities in the United Stato subscribed or oversubscribed their quotas, many of them on the first day of the campaign. The ma jority of these were not cities, but country districts. St. Helens Acreage For Sale From 2 to 20 acre tracts ad joining Geo. V.
