Goodyear Prices
1t Is Folly Today to Pay More

) There exists now q new, compelling
reason for buying Goodyear tres. 1t re-
suits from War conditions.
These leading tires-built Of extra-fine
rubber, IN. the same way ~ 4lways-are
selling. today at June prices.
Yea win find today very wide difference
between most tire prices and Coodyears.
1. - 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:
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,
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-gnde
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.

grade Of rubber.
And We paid about june price,.
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubber available nov
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, viii be forced to use second-g grade
rubber.
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 war;. We shall Try to keep
them there. 81
We accept no excessive orders, but dealers
will be kept supplied. And we charge them,
until further notice, only ante-bellum prices

REAL LIFE IN THE COUNTRY
Fact 10 Shown by Mans Eanerness to
Escape From Congestion OF the
Crowded City.

Why Is 1t that railway magnates,
presidents of banks and heads or
great enterprises who must perforce
do business In cities, almost all try to
have homes on farms In the country,
where they develop soils, plant crops
and breed animals? It is because there
is wearisome monotony in piled up
brick and stone. There Is confusion
in crowded streets and changing troll
ley cars and hot smoky railways.
These things man has made, and they
are needful, but they are not life, much
as the farm boy may imagine them to
be.
Life Is In the open country. Life is
in the growing grass, the waving fields
of wheat, the springing corn. Life is
In the trees and birds, life is In the
developing animals of the farm.
Any man who works with the land,
who feeds a field and watches the re-
suit gains real fundamental knowl-
edge of the underlying foundation on
which rests all our civilization. It
makes him a sober man, a thoughtful
man, a reverent man, and II he expert
ments wisely hopeful optimist. Life
Is where things are born and live and
grow. On the farm is real life.-Breed-
