1t was some months before
Mr.. Walters returned to Mans
field. He was just as prosperous
as ever, and he brought with him
several huge rolls of blue prints.
! The second day of this visit,
Walters dropped hint about the
extreme value of rubber.
"Ahp Mansfield smote itself
on the forehead. Rubber! Why
hadn't it thought of it before? Of
course it was rubber"
Mansfield began to wonder
about rubber.

of Mansfeld's stingiest business
men that all automobile tires
were made of rubber, and cost a
great deal of money. Whereupon
Mansfield went rubber crazy.

from their husbands because they
wouldn't talk about anything but
rubber.

came back before many weeks
were gone, and this time he was
prepared to- talk. He was going
to build the biggest rubber fac

christened the Mansfield Rubber

in on the ground floor, Walters
again left town, never to return
of his own free will.
He will return. Governor Har-

back to Mansfield, with an escort.
He will have to stand trial on
four charges: Larceny, embez-
Element, concealing embezzled

1t may be mentioned, in regard
to the last charge, that Mr.. Wal

It's easy on the woman because it
does away with fires for heating water,
makes hard rubbing unnecessary and
takes less than half the time of the old

Its easy on the clothes because there
is no boiling to make the clothes tender,
and no hard rubbing to wear them into
