The FORUM DREW
A GREAT CROWD

The sale of the bankrupt stock Of
clothing formerly owned by H. A
Jackson & Co. was started this morn
ing by Murphy & Young, who recently
purchased it at the court sale. The
store has been crowded all day and
the sales were approaching the $1,000
mark at noon. Mr.. E. P. Murphy says
that the results of the opening day
was very gratifying and he attributes
the wonderful response to the drawing
powers of The Forum IS it was the
only daily newspaper in which their
advertising appeared. The stock of
the Jackson Co.. has been augmented
for this sale and in the offering is

who have not been able to attend on
the opening day will consult their best
interests by looking over the bargains
offered before purchasing clothing OF
any kind.-Advt.

LIVELY RUNAWAY

TEAM SMASHED FULL TILT INTO
IRON STREET CAR POsT-WAG-
ON WAS BADLY SMASHED
DRIVER THROWN TO GROUND
AND BRUISED,

A lively runaway occurred on Fifth
street north this morning when a team
belonging to the Diamond Joe Dray &
Express Line broke away, and after a
short run smashed full tilt into one OF
the traction company's steel poles in
front of the Masonic temple. The
driver was thrown off and bruised, but
otherwise no n was injured.
His assistant craWled forward over
the load, when he saw the driver fall,
but was unable to reach the lines, and
jumped just as the team hit the pole.
The wagon was badly smashed. The
cause of the runaway was the slipping
forward Of the load, which tipped the
drivers seat and threw him to the
ground. Isl ~.

~HE Importance Of keeping pneu-

the casing to a destructive bending ac-

The same condition occurs when a

In the design of a bridge, where the

BY the same token. the tire which

BUILD ROADS WITH

The Longest Way Around Is Sometimes
The Nest Economical Way Home
In Road Building.

H nOdQ
Washington. D. g, Nov 29--The
average life of horses and automobiles
may be increased and the cost Of haul
ing reduced, according to the office
of roads, of the department of agrl-
culture. by relocating many old roads
and the more scientific laying out OF
new ones The natural tendency IN
road building is TO build a straight
road, whether it goes over steep grades
or hills, or not, and pulling over these
grades naturally adds to the wear and
tear on horses and vehicles.
The doctrine of the office of roads
is that the longest way around may
often be the shortest and most eco
nomicaI way home, and that ire
duently by building a highway around
a hill or grade but little appreciate
distance is added and this is more
than offset by the reduced strain OF
hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point of view is that the lay
ing out of roads on this principle OF
avoiding grades necessitates, in some
cases, running the road through good
farm land or orchards or pastures, in
stead Of going around the farm line
and building the road through cid
worn out fields and over rocky
knobs This, of course, must raise
question in the mind, of the individual
land owner as to whether the cutting
up of his property by road yields

Oversize Tires Give Service;

then desires to change to the regular
oversize tire for his rims. For max
ing this change, the manufacturer has
provided every convenience. Not only
does the oversize fit the rim as per-
fectly as the regular size, but II also
takes the same tube. Tubes like rims,
are now made interchangea Con-
SeQuently the change over to the over

additions as to the tube equipment
The diversified Tire.
The oversize tire contains between 80
and 40 percent more air capacity than
the regular size. This extra capacity
makes possible not only more eIfec-
tive air cushion to sustain the weight
imposed, but higher residence as we'll
An oversize tire naturally costs more
than one of the regular size, because
it is larger It's more effective air
cushion, however, as well as the better
distribution of road wear because OF
its extra width, insures still greater
mileage in proportion to the initial
cost. And so its use decreases the cost
per mile; and cost per mile, rather
than cost per tire, is the ultimate test
Of economy.
But its most important advantage
remains to be stated Every motor1st
though he be pleased with good mileage
at moderate cost, is still better pleased
If he can obtain this mileage without
tire trouble, and what is perhaps still
more important. with a feeling of con-
fidence, engendered by actual expert
ence, that the possibility of trouble IS
so remote as to cease to be factor.
This feeling Of confidence saIeIy ana
freedom from trouble, as well as ITS
real economy, is the advantage OF the
oversize tire.
