Town Helped by Lyceum Course

Town Helped by Lyceum Course
We give only a few of the ways a
Lyceum Course helps a town.
The Lyceum develops good taste and
appreciation. Towns with Lyceum
Courses learn to enjoy good pictures,
good music, fine architecture and hlub
thinking.
The Lyceum raises the sentiment K:
regard to entertainment. Towns with
Lyceum Courses offer a poor field to
street shows, cheap theaters, etc.
The Lyceum encourages the ''city
beautiful" Towns with L yceum
Courses are in touch with the newest
efforts towards municipal reform.
The Lyceum creates scientific senti-
ment. Towns with Lyceum Courses are
interested in scientific research and
discoveries. Fellowships in physical
science at Harvard. Columbia and Uni
versity of Pennsylvania were direct re-
suits of the scientific lectures of John
Tvndall.
The Lyceum brings ''our town" into
touch with the outside world. A Ly.
ceum Course helps the stay-at-homes to
become travellers, introduces them to
other corners of the world, other peo-
pie and customs.
The Lyceum influences intelligent
voting. A Lyceum Course brings the
leaders Of all political parties into close
and intimate touch with the people.
The Lyceum widens the religious out
look. A Lyceum Course is non-sectar-
ian and brings the best of all phases of
religious belief to the town; it tears
down the fences of creed between var
ious denominations.
The Lyceum stirs up enthusiasm
among the young men and women to
get out in the world and do something
worth while. A Lyceum Course brings
to the town men and women of achieve.
ment who inspire by example and pre-.
cept.
The Lyceum teaches personal hyg,
iene, Lyceum people are apostles O
clean living; they teach the way of the
simple life and the efficiency of righ'
thinking.
The Lyceum sounds the call to socia
service. The keynote of the Lyceun
I Course is Brotherhood.

Az to Substituting
Wheat for Cotton

Now we don't want to see o
wheat craze pervade this cotton
belt next season, though we would
be glad to have each farmer put in
enough to provide his own bread.
Remember that the small produc.
ers of the west would on account
of the vast wheat crop of this year
have been forced to sell below the
cost of production but for the war,
and that the bulk of the wheat
crop is made by the great ranches
by means of improved machinery,
etc, that guarantees them q profit
at prices that would represent
ruin to the little fellows. Now
the acreage will be increased all
over the west and in England,
Russia, Argentina and india next
season, if the war continues until
seeding time, while England will
have many months supply on hand
and will vastly increase it's root
crops. If On this great crop you
thrust a big southern wheat crop,
you will be woefully disappointed,
Your safest plan will be to make
ample supplies for your family and
stock, and plant a reasonable acre
age in cotton as a standby, to b.
held until the market promises {
fair profit. Be guided in this mat
ter by horse sense and not by tn,
faddist, pessimists and cranks.-

discontinued on account of a
few of the merchants who be-
grudged the 25c a week it was
costing them. Today the dust
is sweeping up the paved street
in clouds so that it is impossible
to see across the street. The
merchants whose good business

compelled to dust their goods
many times a day to make
them presentable rather than

Suggestions For Care Of Tires
When not in Use During
Winter Months

Mr.. L. Greenwald, head of
the Service Department of the
Firestone Tire & Rubber Com
pany, suggests the following
precautions to auto owners:
When you are through with
your car for the season, jack it
up, remove the tires from the
rims, and wash them we'll with
soap and water. Be sure to re-
move all traces of oil or grease.
The rims too, should be sand
papered to remove all traces of
rust accumulation and painted
with liquid graphite.
For the best protection, the
tires should be wrap ID in clean
cloth or paper and laid fiat in a
cool, dark p ace. If possible,
store tires where they will not
be subjected to extremes of
heat and cold. A temperature
of 40 to 60 degrees is most fav-
orable for avoiding chemical
action in the rubber.
A very effective way is to
wrap them in strips of muslin
or burlap, about three inches
wide. Wind these strips around
the tire and have each wrap
lap over about one inch.
Inner tubes should be Debated
and placed in a box, or wrap.
ped in a clean cloth or paper
and laid fiat in a dark place
with no weight resting on them
If they are left in the tubes,
they should be partly inflated
Never let the weight of the
car rest on the tires when lay
ing up for the winter months
Jack it up and allow the axles
to rest on supports. The con
slant weight on one part Of The
tire will cause it to flatten a,
that point, creasing the fabric
and greatly weakening it. II
the tires are left on the rims
they should be thoroughly
cleaned and repaired and. only
enough air pressure left in thl
tubes to keep them well round
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1914-10-22

ed. This prevents them from
wrlnkling or cracking.
While the car is not in use is
an opportune time to have ne
cessary repairs made on tires.
1t is the repair shops slack sea-
son and, as you are in no hurry
for the return of the tires, they
can devote all the time neces-
sary for your job and do it
right.
Examine tires we'll and have
all cuts in the tread extending
through to the fabric, repaired.
BY following these sugges-
tions, you can add many miles
to tie life of your tires.
