1t takes a man acquainted with the
conditions IN the South,
with the intense rivalries that exist in
some neghborhoods between the two
great religious forces of the section
and aware Of how vital a part religions
convictions play in the lives of men
who are oftentimes shut of from a
very narrow communication With the
great currents of the world, to appre-
cate some of the stories that are told
showing how church feeling some
times cuts a great swath in politics
and rallies for or against a candidate
a considerable following. One Of the
best OF these stories is the one told
by the late Senator Vance OF North
Carolina, and recently re-told by ex-
N~ice-President Stevenson in his book
Of "reminiscences. 1t runs as follows:
AS revealing some old difficulties
of campaigning in North Carolina. an

The Somhre aspect of the shepherd,
with the no less significant shake OF
the head, was unmistable intlInatlon
to our candidate that hanger was IN

Railying himself, however, for the

The Miskin Spring Wheel

So expensive is hard wood becoming
that manufacturers everywhere arc
endeavorIng To use more steel and
more iron in the making of vehicles
and cars, Likewise SO great has been
the increase in the consumption OF
rubber. that II too presents a serious
question. At the Auto show is seen
the only solution to these problems
the Miskln Spring Wheel.
The Miskin Spring Wheel Is the ere
alton of the inventive genius of Ar
thur r. Miskin OF Idaho Falls. Idaho.
The wheel was perfected after one
years study and labor. and is designed
to do away entirely with the bother
some and expensive rubber tire on all
wheels. and to obviatc the jar OF run
ming automobiles. The wheel IS built
of steel and removes all recoil. re-
bound CT jar in the running of ma
chimes. no matter what the nature of
the roadbed is. The mechanism OF the
wheel IS so constructed that it takes
up every bit OF hte jar. II gives at
every point and conforms instantane-
ously to the nature OF the ground over
which II Is running. 1t is so construct.
ed that any broken part can be re-
placed In five minutes. and at very
small cost.
The Miskin Spring Wheel VIII en-
tirely supplant the rigid rubber tire
go-cart wheel. There are 10000. 900
go-carts manufactured annually, which
means 40.o00.0o0 wheels. Ordinarily
these wheels have to be retired a
good many times during the life OF
the wheel. which adds greatly to the
consumption OF rubber and the ex-
pense of the go-cart.
The Miskin Spring Wheel will he
universally used on ALL vehicles.

noise OF the present car wheel

People who have investigated the
