Brilliant crop prospects, and their real

Real Property
"The settlement of labor troubles In
many localities, the avoidance by arb-
tration of the threatened strike of rail-
way conductors and trainmen, the cessa-

apprehension, while the Increased gross

to question the ability and disposition of
the banks to provide the necessary funds
for an orderly movement of the crops
to market, and for the legitimate needs
of trade and industry. Speculation. how
ever, will be frowned upon, and the hold

Of its enactment in time to become ef-

The Tariff
"The early enactment of the tariff
bill is foreshadowed by the large and

and shoes which is sure to result" said
a local tire salesman the other day.
when we consider the great care the
engine receives from the car owner and
the trouble he takes to insure proper
fabrication. cooling, adjustment and all
that contributes to its economical and
efficient operation. il Is remarkable how
seldom one Is found who will give 'he
tires on his car a real chance to n AXE
the maximum mileage.
Makers Advice Unheeded.
''The care of tires and their conserva-
ton should be vitality interesting sub
ject to car owners. yet many seem to
think any effort by tire manufactures to
tell them how to get more mileage Is un-
necessary as well as uncalled for.
THE care Of tires does not take much
time nor call for arduous labor. Under

castings, running In car tracks, speeding
