ATLAS BUILDING AND
LOAN ASSOCIATION

The records of the Probate Court
of New York show that of 10000
persons above the age of rs dying
last year, only 1851 left any estate
whatever, and only 884 were worth
$4,000. 90.
Sc per cent. of them geft no estate
whatever
25 per cent. left estates which av-
eraged $1,292.O0.
8 per cent. left estates of over
100000.
This is rather sad commentary.
$500 out of the 10000 died without
having accumulated anything for
their families, without building or
buying a home, without having laid
UP any money for possible day of
privation or want.
Bring the matter home to yourself,
take an inventory of your situation,
and then make your decision. If
you are in the sc per cent class,
pause. There is absolutely no rea-
son why you SHOULD remain there.
See HARRY WILLIAMS, Secretary
of the Atlas Buildin~ and Loan AS
ISOLATION and he will point you to a
method of saving your money that
will in the course of a few years
place you in the per cent. class,
will make you the owner of your
home and independent.

DOES NOT FEAR THIRD PARTY.
w. J. Bryan Says Wilson VIII Win by
1000, 900 Plurality.


w. J. Bryan. who stopped in Chi
cago on his way to Nebraska, de-
clared that If third party we're
formed Col. Roosevelt might drive
some reactonary Democrats over to
President Taft, but with the Demo
cratic ticket and platform he could
not expect any progressive Demo
Gratis.
Before leaving Baltimore Mr.? Bry-
an estimated that Wilson would have
plurality of 1000, 900 votes. When
asked in Chicago If he still held to
that estimate, he replied:
I'm estimating Wilson's plurality
at 2 100000 / was not counting on q
third party. That might reduce the
plurality some, and yet not much,
because many Republicans will vote
for Roosevelt who would not be will
ing to vote for Democrat, and that
will largely reduce Taft's vote. Taft
will be the contender for the Roose-
welt votes-not Wilson,
In our platform said Mr.. Bryan
''the single term for the presidency
will attract much attention, and also
the declaration favoring direct pri-
maries. One of the best planks il
that declaring for popular election
of National Committeeman, the com.
mitteemen to begin service wher
elected. This change will prevent
holding committeeman from organ
izing conventions"

DEMAND FOR NOM
SKID TIRES GREAT

The demand among motorists for
pneumatic tires with pcn skid treads
Is greater az the present time than
ever before IN the history Of the
tire making industry Perhaps one
reason for this Is that manufactur
ers, during the past two years, have
developed the non skid style iof
tread with marked success There
is, however. a broader explanation
or the present popularity of this
type OF tire. II pertains to other ad.
yantages besides protection against
skidding, which motorists have dis
covered tires withsSR ised treads pos
sess
Outlining these advantages and
commenting on the popularity of-non
skid tires an official of the United
states Tire Company, gays:
The best evidence we have of the
wide demand for non skid tires is
the fact that both our dolby tread
and Chain Tread tpyes are always
sold up, far In advance of our pro-
ductlon
There are several reasons why
motorists prefer non-skid STYLES OF
tires. In the first place there is the
svsf present protection against skid
ling Furthermore. where the tread
. raised. the user gets a mach
thicker and heavier wearing surface.
This has the effect OF increasing tfe
Mileage rendered by the tire. The
manufacturer is enabled to place
much more rubber between the tire
carcass and the exposed surface OF
The tread than can be successfully
utilized in the ordinary smooth typ<
of casing
With ordinary usage motorist
should get hundreds Of miles of ser
vice ont Of d non skid tread before
the tire wears down to the regular
surface
Another advantage which motor
lists claim for heavy non skid treads
is that theyireduce the number OF
pmsctures. Throwing off sharp OBJ
jects entirely or picking them up in
such d way that they do not pene
