ed upon that ordinary punctures shall
not cause permanent trouble. In this
respect the usual single tube road tire
with canvas fabric has suffered in pub

unreliability OF plug repairs have been
the two drawbacks to this class CT
tires, even more than excessive adui-
teration of the rubber which enters
into their composition. The latter Is

the remedy lies in the public's own

AS a general rule farmers are antag-
onistic to wheelmen, but in this in
stance their interests are proving to
be almost identical. The wheelmen
can probably appreciate good roads
more than any other class of people,
but they are only slightly behind the
farmer in this respect. The farmers
realize that if they had good roads
leading to the city they could haul
twice as much produce to market with
one team OF horses as they can with
poor roads to travel over. And they
realize that the trip could be made In
less than halt the time. Added to
these reasons for wanting good roads,
the rural residents OF the state are be-
ginning to realize more and more what
a boon free mail delivery would be to
them. With It they could have let
