"10 3) WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1920. "WORK, WORK, WORK" N. U. DRIVE SLOGAN General Chairman William A. Dyche Issues Challenge To Alumni cf North Shore School The final report of the summer season of 1920 in the college of liber- | al arts $1,000,000 protective endow- ment campaign of Northwestern Uni- versity has been made public and, | among other things, shows that a total of $242,495.50 had been sub- scribed up to September 7. The first class to obtain its quota is 1917 whose objective was $12,700 and whose contributions are announced as being $12,710. This class began its canvass under many difficulties and attained its objective by keeping . : : : everlastingly at it. Their members| literally followed the warcry of Gen- eral chairman William A. Dyche, "Work, Work, Work". Director William J. Farquharson in announcing the latest figures indi- cated that the next report with a new year and that class chair- men, returned from summer vaca- tions, are already planning meetings and class drives to complete their quotac. Last of Summer Reports "This report means," explained Mr. Farquharson, "that .we have receiv- ed the last of our so-called summer reports and are now looking forward to a big new year of effort. Indica- tions are that Northwestern's liberal arts alumni are going ahead enthus- jastically with their canvass." The classes which lead in the cam- paign thus far are: 1917, 100 per cent; 1884, 74 per cent; 1918, 70 per cent; 1883, 62 per cent, and 1915, 57 per cent. By amounts subscribed: 1917, $12.- 710; 1913, $10,575.50; 1915, $10,167.50; 1900, $8,802, and 1893, $8,025. By number of subscriptions: 1917, 98; 1919, 96; 1915, 96; 1918, 90, and 1913, 72. The liberal arts alumni campaign for $1,000,000 is one activity in a general drive of Northwestern for a $4,000,000 protective endowment fund with which to raise the salaries of professors and meet higher operating costs. The Chicago Campus campaign is another effort by Greater North- western to liquidate the debt of the new Chicago professional schools' site and still another canvass may come later with the announcement of plans for new buildings on that campus. The entire Greater North- western University plan entails, it has been estimated an outlay of about $25,000,000, but the university's friends are conservatively and quietly pushing the great enterprise, item by item, according to the immediate necessity of the situation. THESE UNITED STATES From the Beater Do you know that the United States has only six per cent of the population of the world and only 7 per cent of the land? And yet we produce: 20 per cent of the world's supply of gold. 25 per cent of the world's supply of wheat. 40 per cent of the world's supply of iron and steel. 40 per cent of the world's supply of lead. 40 per cent of the world's supply of silver. 50 per cent of the world's supply of sinc. 52 per cent of the world's supply of coal. 60 per cent of the world's supply of cotton. 60 per cent of the world's supply of copper. 60 per cent of the world's supply of aluminum. 66 per cent of the world's supply of | oil. 75 per cent of the world's supply of corn. 85 per cent of the world's supply automobiles. will deal | of | MOTOR TRUCKS BIG HELP IN MOVING BUMPER GRAIN CROP | | Seeking other fields to conquer after displacing Old Dobbin on the city's pavements, motor trucks are now chugging toward dominance on | the rural highways. Their latest achievement is in giving America's | | farmers a much needed lift in trans- | porting the bumper grain crop of} | 1920. Almost overnight, it seems, the] | truck has become a tremendous fac- tor in the movement of the nation's | food supply. A few years ago, only +1 few farmers recognized its full} possibilities but today it can be seen | from one end of the grain belt to the | other carrying full loads of golden | orain onward toward their destina- | tion. i This fast growing importance of! the motor truck to the grain grower | is shown by a survey just completed {bv the Travel and Transport bureau of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber com- pany. Questionnaires were sent out to nearly 2.000 country elevators by the bureau and the answers prove the truck's true position in the grain fields. Trucks Haul One-Quarter YS py ; > . | Those questionnaire answers which | | gave percentage comparison of grain | receipts by horse and wagon as com- | pared with motor truck grain haul- age showed that 26 per cent of the | grain is being received at the ele- vators by truck. In other words, the truck is carrying one-fourth of the entire grain crop of many sections of the mid-west, a truly remarkable fact when it is considered that just a few vears ago "the horse and wagon had the field to themselves. The territory covered by the ques- tionnaires included Oklahoma, Ar- kansas. Missouri, Kansas, Montana, Idaho, Towa, Nebraska, Illinois, Wis- consin, Minnesota and the Dakotas. Answers were received from a rep- resentative number of elevators in each state. According to the survey, farmers in Nebraska, Minnesota, and South Da- kota are employing motor truck transportation on a greater scale than in other sections of the grain belt. In these states, practically all elevators are being equipped with automatic scales and dumps so that the maximum service can be obtained from the trucks. A tenor of the replies received in- dicated that the farmers, and ele- vator men as well, are becoming en- thusiastic truck advocated and see a great future for them throughout the grain belt. Three Fold Benefit The service which trucks have rend- ered wherever used has been three- fold. It has saved valuable time for the grain grower at a season when every hour is precious. It has en- abled him to get rid of his crop and prevent loss formerly incurred from piling it in fields and inadequate warehouses. Moreover, it has proved of great assistance to the railroads. permitting expeditious loading of cars and relieving the roads of carry- ing wheat on short hauls. It is evident from the reports that the truck came to the grain growers just in the nick of time, enabling them to handle the bumper crop in a way which could never have been equalled with horse and wagon.

When the same thing hap- pens on six or eight nearby streets, served from the same cable terminal, there must be new main cables from terminal boxes to the exchange. Such increases from several localities soon call for additions to switchboard and terminal room facilities. Finally a new exchange, with its costly equipment, must be built, and extensive re-distribution made of the outside plant. These are some of the elements which enter into the cost of supply- ing telephone service to growing communities. CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY C. H.
