Revolutionary ancestry than in
any other county in the state.
This is splendid work the d.
A. r. have undertaken. that of
perpetuating the name and deeds
of our Revolutionary ancestors
and instilling into the hearts and
minds of our children the love
and respect due their memories;
to love the American Flag and
honor and revere the memory of
the Signers of the Declaration of
Independence and the writers of
our Constitution.
am sorry to say that in recent
years, in these days of "isms', we
hear men denouncing the revered
names of the men who framed
that instrument. For l26 years we
have had prosperity and our Nd
ton has become the greatest re-
public on the face of the globe.
Monarchies are disappearing
and republics are being estab-
lished in all parts of the world
and we, the Daughters and Sons
of the American Revolution, and
other patriotic societies, must join
hands to preserve the heritage
left US by our fore-parents who
gave their lives so that the gener.
atiOns to come might be free.

MOTOR TIRE PRICES SEVERELY SLASHED
 BY BIG COMP

Boston, Mass, Nov. 2e@The rather remarkable spectacle has been wit messed this year of two cuts in tire nrSces by the big producers within a sinwfs twefvemonth. In fact it was only seven months ago that the Good rich people Led off with a cut of 5 per cent to 10 per cent. In tire prices their action at that time being some vT hat unexpected. but largely based on lower crude rubber quotat1ons- Of course the others followed suit.
 The B. F. Goodrich people have led fRre way In this second slash, which Is even more drastic than the first If amounts on the average to a reduce taon of slightly more than 15 per cent The cut varies with size of tires. some of the makes being reducede only D per cent and others over 90 per cent. Probably Is per cert to IS per cent. would be a HaAf average E F
 The Goodyear is the second large producer to announce its new sched- u1es and it's reduction amounts to an average of 15 per cent all around, with var1atfon according to sizes and quail iaty just as in tho case of Goodrich.
 Unlbed Sta1es Tire Company will probab4y put out it's new schedule some day next week In the mean Of. The new prices Wa4 probably date back to November T. s3ess |
 This cut. means sa -reductioa Of 20 per cent to 2S per cent in tire prices since January 1, and taken in connec- 4don with the cuts of the last three years means 2. 40 per cent reduction in prices Of course the consumer does not get a4lAo of this 40 per oent. cut. In fact he gets the smallest sfice of it, the bulk going to tae jobber and dealer as Is usually tho case where goods are handled through a middle man.
