Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
Be Careful Now

In Goodyears we pledge you the same grade
tire as always. And that grade won for Good
years the top place in Tiredom-the largest sale
in the world.
And, for the time being, our prices are the
same as before the wal. We shall try to keep
them there.
We accept no excessive orders, but dealers
will be kept supplied. And we charge them.
until further notice, only ante-bellum prices.
That means that Coodyears-the beat
tires built-are selling way below other tires.

Goodyear Prices
It is Folly Today to Pay 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 Coodyeara
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 nc 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, $780,
WV pouuuS u Ile lLucSI IuDUeI tlleIe.
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 a constant supply, and our pick Of
the best that's produced.
We were first on the ground. We were quick

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. y
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.

INSPIRING Battle Pictures.

The Crimean war inspired many
wonderful battle pictures, one of the
most pathetic, perhaps, being THE
Return from the Crimea,' painted by
Sir Noel Patton, showing the return
to his cottage Of corporal of Fusilier
guards with an empty sleeve, head
bandaged and twelvemonth's beard.
He sits with closed eyes, while his
wife kneels at his feet and clasps his
waist. Prints of this picture are to
be seen in thousands of homes
throughout England.
OF naval battle pictures, perhaps
the most notable is that which Illus
trates the famous incident of the bat
tie of Copenhagen, when Nelson re-
fuses to see the signal of recall,
painted by Thomas M. Henry, the ia
nous marine artist The painting is
one of the most inspiring sea pictures
which have ever been exhibited.

ESKIM0S NOT KEEN TRADERS
Will Give Anything, No Matter the
Value, for What Takes Their
Fancy at the Moment.

Among the Eskimos of the Boring
sea region, there is no fixed value for
whalebone, furs or anything they may
have to trade If one Of them has any
thing of value, he will keep it until
some white man appears with some
thing that appeals to his eye. And
the money value of what may. take
him does not make any difference to
him. If he has a trinket that may be
worth a dollar, and some one offers to
give him For it something that is
worth a thousand dollars but of which
he has no need he will refuse to trade.
But he will give anything he possesses
for what he really wants.
An Eskimo of st. Lawrence island,
in Boring sea, made catch one sea-
of baleen was worth between ten and
fifteen thousand dollars. He knew the
approximate value of the head, but he
held on to it with no apparent desire
to trade. One day trader appeared
with a small gasoline launch, valued
at perhaps two or three hundred dol.
lars. The sight of that SO took the
native that he straighway traded his
head of bone for it.
Far out in the straits one day he
ran out of gasoline. He abandoned the
launch for the canoe he was towing,
and padded back to the island. But
he did not regret his trade. He was
satisfied and ready to try for another
whale.-Youth's Companion.
