Slnnott, Chairman of the Committee on the Public Lands of the House of Representa tives, has reported the Mondell Bill, H.'R. 487, known as the National Soldiers'" Settlement Act, to the House. " The Mondell Bill which is along the lines of Secretary Lane's plan. was not materially changed by the, Committee which has held almosi dally hearings and meetings to con sider the same, since Congress con vened in May. The Bill contemplates the reclama tion, acquisition and development of one or more projects In each state and is designed to assist soldiers to get hornet under the best conditions. When such a project has been de veloped to a point where the lands either by reclamation, clearing, drain age, or irrigation are in fit condition for farming, the area will be divided into farms by the bill as reported to the House. A payment of 5 per cent of the value fixed is required at the time the farm is alloted. Thus on a farm valued at $5,000 the initial payment would be $250, a sum which the sol dier could save while working on the development of the project for one to three years during which time he would be paid the going wages. After the farms have been alloted, assistance Is to be given the soldier in maklug his improvements, the maximum loan provided for this pur pose being $1500, and not in excess of three-fourths of the cost or value of the Improvements. During, or in connection with , the making of 4ils improvements the soldier could by his personal efforts and work easily contribute his 25 per cent ot the total cost. Provision is also made for loans to the soldier settler tor the purchase of necessary livestock and equipment, the maximum ot such loans being $1200, ot 75 per cent ot the total cost of necessary livestock and 60 per cent ot the equipment, so that while it Is assumed in many cases the sol dlerwould have some savings for a start, it Is believed that a man start ing at the beginning ot one of these projects without capital could, through Industry and frugality earn and save enough t.i make his initial and other payments as tbey become, due. The balance due on the land shall be paid in amortizing payments ei .ending over a period to be fixed by the Secretary of the Interior, not to xceed 40 years, bearing interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum. Congressman 81nnott's report also states that the late President, Theo dore Roosevelt, advocated the sol dier settlement policy as proposed Dy Secretary Lane, in the last article which he wrote for the press; that President Wilson has urged It upon Congress in two messages; that the Governors in 27 states have appoint ed Commissions to cooperate with the Secretary pf the Interior, and al! 3f these Commissions have expressed their earnest interest in legislation of this character. Congressman Sinnott also calls at tention to the fact that the American Legion has officially endorsed the bill, and that 112,088 soldiers have made formal application for opportunities of employment and home getting un der the terms of this bill. ST. LOUIS NEWSPAPER COMPLIMENTS WOMEN Misnamed Publication Pays High Tribute to Their Ability and Sagacity, St. Louis' leading newspaper, The Globe-Democrat, which belles Its name by its espousal of Republican principles, pays a high compliment to Missouri women who met with the Republican men for the first time In a political couferonce on July 27th. "Women Prove Good Politicians," is the headline, followed by a hanger, Suffragists Handle Election of Chairman with Sagacity and More Skill Than Men." Throughout the long article the women's ability and knowledge of procedure aroused admiring com ment. "Women showed ability to handle a political situation gracefully and skillfully," comments the Olobe Democrat, and added, "The women asked little advice about the proce dure In their election matters from the Republican leaders at the meet ing. John Sell moll, chairman ot the Republican City Committee, Jacob L. Babler, national committeeman, and W. L. Cole, state chairman, said the women needed no advice about poli tics." A state chairman, and chairmen and vice chairmen for every district In the state, were elected at the con ference, which will begin active or ganization work among the women Immediately. Republican Women's District Clubs will be followed by precinct, city and town clubs. MJ sourl is "on the political map" and her women intend that It shall stay there!

Its utility is no longer questioned. As a means of transportation it is defin itely established that a motor truck is incomparably economical, convenient, etc., so it is not a question of whether or not you need a truck. Your decision must be which truck to select. It is a big Suestion, not to be decided until you have every fact, every ata of cost before you. On that basis only can you make a selection that will justify the required expenditure. GARY, "The Ten Test Truck" invites every investigation every test or question that any owner may advance. The Gary Motor Truck has been selected by some of the largest Truck users in America. They buy on a basis of fact only, and the Gary has satisfied these owners in every one of these following ten vitally important points. Test Vl" REASONABLE INVEST MENT. Don't buy a truck that will de preciate too rapidly to be economical. You really rent a motor truck when you buy it. At the end of its period of use it should have substantial "cash or trade-in" val ue. Investigate the actual "after use" wortlTOf any truck before you make your selection. Test "2" ECONOMICAL SELECTION Trucks are means of economy. It is not an investment to buy a truck that will in crease your transportation costs. Find out what it will actually cost you to trans port your merchandise. Test "3" SIMPLICITY. Skilled ex perienced labor costs money. You don't want to increase your labor hire because of your truck investment. Before making your choice, take any worker in your de livery department, give him a few simple instructions, see whether or not the truck is simple enough for his unskilled abilities. Test "4" EQUALIZED BALANCE. From front to rear lamp bracket maxi mum efficiency of operating requires even distribution of weight, work and wear. The motor must not be too light for its load, the frame must not be heavier than is necessary. Consider whether or not there is proper co-relation of size and parts. Test "5" OVER CARRIAGE. Do not buy a one-ton truck and expect it to do a 3-ton duty. But the truck you do buy should be built to allow for reasonable margin of overload. Buy the size truck that your business needs, but do not in vest in a 5-ton truck for a 1-ton truck la bor. Nor should you buy a 3V6 ton track for a 5 ton labor. Test "6" CONTINUED OPERATION. Accidents will happen, and some repairs are inevitable. Select the track of a "de sign so standardized that repairs will never keep your truck out of service. Test "7" ESTABLISHED MANUFAC TURE. A truck made by a maker having limited resources is a questionable in- vestment Be sure that the maker of your truck will be able to continue in business as long as you do. Test "8" DEALER DEPENDABIL ITY. The dealer is the agency that is di rectly responsible to you. Be sure that the dealer from whom you buy your truck is as reliable as your own, banker. Do not buy a truck from a dealer that has a repu tation of shifting responsibility. Test "9" NON RADICAL DESIGN. Radical changes and principles are exper imental. Do not buy an experimental truck. Keep within approved design and principle. Test "10" SPEED POWER. An em- ergency will arise where you will have to run your fully loaded truck at its maxi mum speed. Power should provide for speed to allow for speed when it is necessary. GARY, "The Ten Test Track" has measured up to every test. Let us give you the facts to prove it.
