 The success of these tires is due to endless tests, made on testing machines in our factory.
 Some 2i0 fabrics and formulas were tried and discarded, because we found something better.
 We had to first make the best tires in the world, before we out sold the world.
 If you will consult men who use these tires you are bound to use them, too. Saving half on tire bills means too much to miss.

five minutes while the forty trunks

Mr.. Rockefeller began to walk south

ccrdingly compelled to retrace his
steps. Turning around he walked up
the platform to the Main street cross

At the north end of the platform
Mr.. Rockefeller found himself obliged
to walk along the tracks. which are

PUBLIC OPINION


South Amboy, Oct. D.
EDITOR EVENING NEWS
Much has been said by individ-
uals. and through the press In refer
ence to the increase in the tax rate
in Middlesex county this year. 1t
has even been limited that the Board
of Freeholders have been extrava-
giant In their expenditures While
one may differ politically with the
present board, an examination or
the facts may reveal a different
state of affairs.
AS every one knows who has trav-
eled over the county the number of
small wooden bridges throughout
the county are great and a large
number had become useless. These
have been replaced wherever prac-
teal by iron, or iron piping, making
the present expenditure larger, but
making the condition where this
has been done a lifetime one. An
county record building which had
become necessary, costing s12o,o0e.
The interest on the bonds which
were fioated at Az per cent,
amounts to $1,000. Then the in
crease in the election expenses this
year is $4,000. The increase of
pay for the bridgeteHders in Middle
sex county by compulsion of eight
hour shifts is $500. Then the in
spector of weights and measures is
$1,000 and there has been a def
cheney that has been carried over
from the year 1903 of $4,000 which
will be paid this year, thus making
an increased expenditure this year
of s62,520, not calculating the ex-
pendlture of new road building and
repairing that had to be done. When
1t is taken into consideration that
for some reason our legislature last
winter, In passing the law regulat-
Ing automobile traffic for foreign
residents, failed to recognize the
fact that Middlesex and Monmouth
counties furnished roads for more
auto traffic, perhaps, than any two
counties In the state, 1t is realized
that much evenu that might have
accrued had sufficient license been
imposed the past year, now falls
direct on the resident taxpayers,
therefore In an unprecedented sum-
ming up as a whole, has not our
Board of Freeholders done fairly

STATEMENT ON
The S. P. G. A.
KeYport Man Tells Of OBJ
jects Of Society.
Keyport. Oct. 5, 1912.

ElJllO1k Il GANl4NN ~" VIZ
AS it appears that so many OF our
good to~wnspeople have an
idea of the object of the American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, a statement may be IN
order at this time.
The objects of this Society are TO
provide effective means for the pre-
vention of cruelty of animals, 10 en-
force all laws which are now, or may
hereafter, be enacted, for the protec-
ton of animals, and to secure by
lawful means, the arrest, conviction
and punishment of all persons vlolat-
ing such laws.
The establishment of this and
other organizations has represented
an increased interest In humane
work which has found a practical ex-
preston in the legislation Of nearly
every state In the Union. At this
date there is not a single state in
which cruelty of any kind Is not for
hidden by the law, under
penalties for ~disobedience. some
defects continue to exist of course,
but, speaking broadly, it may be
said that the laws on this SUBJECT
are good. What Is now required Is
that the great mass of the people
shall be educated into sympathy with
the humanity of law. That is now
the greatest work of the society, and
1t has constant reason to be grateful
for the assistance and encourage
ment which 1t receives from the
press, the pulpit and the judges or
the courts.
The abuses growing out of the pre-
vailing system of dog catching, I'M
pounding and destroying by admins
tering poisons to them, have
so fragrant as to demand immediate
checking. Every right thinking cit
izen will agreee with the writer that
much suffering will be spared the
vagrant, lost and abandoned dogs,
who, ~unwanted, are thrown into the
street to suffer and die of exposure
and starvation by ap~prehending and
a merciful way.
The method of destroying small
animals by Illuminating a has been
adopted by the S. P. G. A., of New
York, after a thorough investigation
of other known methods, and is hotr
humane and sanitary. Illuminating
