TIRES
WIN Big RACE
Were the Equipment on the
Two Leading Cars in Mt.
Badly Race in South

A C. Leonard, manager of the local
house of the W. d. Newerf rubber COM
pany, reports that the motor cars that
took first and second in the Mount
Baldy race last Sunday were equipped
with Goodyear tires, while the winner
used the Doolittle rims. This is quite
a victory for both tires and rims, as
the race is considered one of the hard
est in the southern part of the state
Leonard in discussing the care of
tires states: The pneumatic tire will
wear out under the most favorable con-
ditions and treatment. But there are,
however many causes which tend to
reduce it's maximum wearing capacity.
The most careful driver is liable at
all times to puncture a tire, but there
is no excuse for driving on the tire
after the puncture has been discov-
cred The puncture can be repaired,
but the harm done from riding on
the debated tire can not be remedied.
"A cut may be made in the outer en-
velope by contact with a sharp object
which cuts into the tire, but not
through it. The cut may appear insig-
nificant and, as it appears at first. is
often really unimportant.. If 1t re-
manned the same size and depth as
when it happened it would not matter
much. But consider what follows. AS
one rides ,afterward on a neglected
cut little by little grit and dirt work
their way into the incision, opening
and aggravating it in the same way as
they would a wound in human flesh.
Moisture also works its way in, and
II the rubber has been cut through
to the fabric a weak spot develops
which will tear or break later under
an unusually severe strain. All cuts
should be treated when the car returns
from run. There is a special paste
for filling cuts which, II used, will add
to the life of tire. Cuts are easily
treated when they first occur, and a
little attention to points like these
makes great difference in tire cost"

CIVIL WAR ANIMOSITY
LINGERS IN THE SOUTH
Sectional Hatred Has Not Yet
Burned Itself Out

That the animosities which existed
during the civil war is still strongly
prevalent in certain parts of the south
was the declaration made by Judge
". p. Chipman, presiding Justice of
the northern district of the appellate
court, at the annual dinner of the Cali
fornia commandery, Loyal Legion of
the United States, at the St. Francis
hotel last night,
Judge Chipman pointed to the strict
difference in the political thought of
the north and the south; to the action
of the Arkansas confederate bodies.

those of their comrades who accepted
pardons Just before the close of the
war and 10 the strong sentiment in
the minds Of the southerners that the
cause for which they fought was Just

unjust.

said, there will remain that feeling

the south"

SCOTLAND NECK'S HOTEL.

The saying is that a chain is
no stronger than it's weakest
link. and, while it cannot be
said that a town is no better
than it's poorest establishment,
still such statement can be
somewhat modified, and it can
be said that a town is better or
worse to just such degree as
it's buildings, public convent
ences, manufacturing establish
ments, and the many other
things that go to make up a
town, are good or bad.

stead of having every drum

tons, on his lips The number
of the hotels guests that now
