Tires at
Before-War Prices

storage an almost record supply Of this extra
grade of rubber.
And we paid about June prices.
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubber available now
for many makers is inferior. In ordinary times,
the best tire makers refuse it. Much of it had
been rejected But that ''off rubber" now sells
for much more than we paid for the best.
The results are these:
Tire prices in general are far in advance of
Goodyears. And many tire makers, short of
supplies, will be forced to use second-grade
rubber.

Goodyear Prices
1t is Folly Today to Paw More

There exists now a new, compelling
reason for buying Goodyear tires. 1t re-
suits from War conditions.
These leading tires-built of extra-fine
rubber, in the same way as always-are
selling today at June prices.
You will find today a very wide difference
between most tire prices and GoodyeaTs.
Due to Quick Action
Early in August-when war began-the
worlds rubber markets seemed closed to us.
Rubber prices doubled almost over night.
Men could see no way to pay for rubber
abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like
others in that panic-were forced to higher
prices. But we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
we did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out. The larger part of the
worlds rubber supply comes through there.
We cabled them to buy up the pick of the rub
Der. They bought-before the advance i ,50O,-
900 pounds of the finest rubber there
Nearly all this is now on the way to us.
And it means practically all Of the extra-grade
rubber obtainable abroad
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para Those are the worlds
chief sources of rubber. So We are pretty well
assured of constant supply, and our pick of
the best that's produced.
We were first on the ground We were quick
est in action. As a result. we shall soon have in

Baseball for Criminals.

PenOlOgists have never given much
thought to baseball as a reformative
agency. But the Ohio penitentiary
seems to have proved it's efficiency
in that direction. The prison has a
rafting good amateur team-so good
that 1t has played professional
team without humiliation. The peni-
Tertiary population has the baseball
fever. And the men don't get all
their enjoyment by proxy, either,
after the manner of the common fan:
they themselves play, in their out
door recreation hours. They play
with as much gusto as any crowd of
oack-lot youngsters. And to look at
them, nobody would know that they
were convicts. They do not wear the
barbarous stripe of the old regime.
nor do they wear the traditional
prison pallor." Exercise and work
in the open have done away with
the tprsion SLOUGH, too, and the lock
step gait. 1t is wonderful what the
outdoor life seems to do for these
men. Convicts who were wasting
away from cell confinement grow
strong and healthy in the fields. And
they produce train-loads of food pro-
ducts, reducing the cost of their keep.
They are better behaved. They re-
gain a wholesome outlook on life,
or possibly develop one, If they never
had 1t. Men in for life act as fore
men and superintendent. Few
abuse their freedom-last year but
per cent of those out on honor,
without guards, ran away. Baseball
seems to he the ultimate expression
OF this new, rational penal method,
which accomplishes more in real re-
form-and therefore in permanent
protection to society than has been
done in all the enturies of brutal
punishment. And when you come TO
think of it, did you ever know base
ball player who was verys'bad?

Patriotism.

1t takes war to realize the COM
parative pettiness of all other con-
flicts. At the mere prospect of
Great Britain being involved in the
continental struggle, the Irish con-
troversy which had threatened the
integrity of the empire melted away
like mist. Truculent John Redmond
announced in the House of Commons,
amid wild cheers, that the govern
ment might send away every soldier,
and ireland would be protected from
invasion by the united Catholics of
the south and the Professionals of VI
ster-who but the other day were
ready to shoot each other down. The
militant suffragettes, confronting
greater militancy, announced a truce.
Even the socialists of Germany, Aus
tria and France, who in principle are
implacably opposed to warfare, have
yielded to national need and suspend
ed their propaganda. In America,
though our peril is indirect, and con-
Germs industry and commerce rather
than human life and nationality, the
effect has been just as marked. There
was an instant end of partisan bick-
ering in Washington. The organi-
cation of the Federal reserve board,
was imperative, to place the nation s
credit on a asfe basis. Very we'll
the bitter fight against the confirma-
ton of Paul M. Warburg in the SEN
ate was turned to friendly conference
and prompt approval. Congress sub
merged all differences and all quest
for party advantage in the passage
of amendments to the emergency cur
rency bill providing for a volume of
government-guaranteed currency as
large as our national debt. In the
face of commerce halted by shipless
seas and sclogged ports, interests that
had quarreled for decades over plans
to restore American shipping permit
ted the passage of bill for that pur-
pose without debate or roll call. No
less notable was the patriotic action
of the western railroads, on the edge
of a great strike that would have
paralysed traffic and might have pre-
cipitated panic. With but a word
from the president pointing out the
gravity of the situation, they agreed
to arbitrate. In this time of gen.
eral uncertainty and vague alarm,
we ore as unanimous as are the
French or the Germans. Whether
workmen, farmers, merchants, bank
ers or politicians, we are not parts
ans, but Americans, living up to the
patriotic duty of safeguarding our
PROSE erity and the humanitarian
duty of performing whatever service
we may for the help of our less fortu-
nate European brethren.

A Vail From Mosquito Swamp.

Oh, there's war in Minnesota,
AS there is in Mexico,
And you see the people fighting,
Fighting, every where you go: -
Fen the peaceaible homesteader, 49,.
AS he works to clear his "medder, :"
Faces foemen by the thousands
All a'thirsting for his gore.
And with nimble springs and passes,
They rise screaming from the
grasses, H..
Each with weapon keenly s'harpened,
It's enough to make him sore. :
And his wife, while broiling, stewing
At the dinner for his chewing, E.
Is attacked by the enemy
Behind, beside, before. 49, - 81
For unmindful of obstruction,
They have gained an introduction,
Zach with his machine of torture,
Thro the window screen and door.
In an early day the savage
Would the town and country raw
age,
Burning everything behind them,
Neatly finishing their chOre.
And we think 'twould be more
pleasant,
If the foe we fight at present, =
Would do their job as completely
And go on to pastures new.
For this long protacted fighting,
Is to our ambition blighting,
And the presents dark and gloomy,
- While the future appears blue.
We're all wearing cheese-cloth armor,.
Every woman, child and farmer,
And the smoke of battle round us,
Is so thick we cannot see. ~~.
Tho we're smoked like ham and
bacon -.-.-z
And our eyes with pain are
'iachin,'" -.
We must kept up l..... -
For it's the thing to make mosqui-
= toes flee. L..
How we wish they'd change their diet
Day or night they're never quiet, i
Always hungry, always angry, )
They surround us with their din.
Some men seek relief in curses,
Others in just writing verses,
And it has not been decided .-
Who commits the greatest sin. ri

cause OF woman suffrage from their
special point Of view.
Mis- PankhurH Not There.
Miss Pankhurst was not present. -
Mr.. Asquith had insisted the doputa-
ton must be composed Of genuine
working women. The premier Wo1-
coined the members Of the deputa&lon
as representatives Of an association
which disassociated itself from the
criminal methods OF those who have
done 30 much to damage and put
back the cause of women"
Mr.. AsQuith argued that IL every
woman over FL years Of age possessed
the vote. they would still fnl legisla-
tive problems regarding women ex-
ceedingly difacult of solution In the
same way as the men had found
them. He agreed with the depufa-
ton that II the franchise were given
to women it would be granted on the
same terms a. It was given to men.
The premier explained that while it
had become necessary to suppress the
organized violence OF the militant suf-
