Court Grants Writ Of Supersedeas.

Denver.-State Treasurer M. A.
Leddy will be able, temporarily, to
Illustrate the will of the people in the
lending of money Of the state on
farms and other realty by reason OF
the granting of the supersedeas asked
for by the custodian Of the state
funds in the Supreme Court When
Leddy appealed from the decision Of
the District Court, in which the lat
ter ordered the state school fund ap-
portioned to the various counties for
the purpose of lending money to the
farmers, he asked for writ of super
sedeas restraining the enforcement of
the order of the lower court. This
request was granted. The case will
come UP this fall, perhaps, on its
merits. Leddy's term of office expires
in January. Last year Volney T. Hog
gait, register of the state land board,
sought to have the funds, amounting
TO 100000, apportioned, but Leddy
refused, and, at the instance Of Hog
gait, Attorney General Farrar brought
suit to compel the apportionment.
This resulted in a decision sustaining
Hoggatt and Farrar.

Goodyear Prices
1t is Folly Today to Pay More

There exists now q new, compelling
reason for buying Goodyear tires. 1t re-

rubber, in the same way as always-are
selling today at June prices.
You will find today very wide difference
between most tire prices and Goodyears.

worlds rubber markets seemed closed to US.
Rubber prices doubled almost over night
Men could see way 10 pay for rubber
abroad, and way to bring it in. We, like
others-ln that panic-were forced to higher
prices. But we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war; and this is how
did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the broke out. The larger part of the
worlds rubber supply through there.
We cabed them to buy up the pick of the rub

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 obtainabe abroad.
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para Those are the worlds
chief sources of rubber So pretty well
assured of constant supply, and pick Of
the best that's produced.

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-grads
