Goodyear Prices
1t is Folly Today to Pay More

there exists now 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 Goodyears.
Due to Quick Action
Early in August-when war began-the
worlds rubber markets seemed closed to u.s.
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 panc-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 cabed 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 u.s.
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

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
apeg 0, NV Heart

The attraction at the opera house to-
night win be "Peg O. My Heart" Lau-
rette Taylor's marvelously successful
triumph that is now in its second year
at the beautiful Cort theatre in New
York City. This successful comedy, by
J. Hartley Manners, is said to be one of
the prettiest and cleanest plays seen on
the stage in years. The story concerns
a young Irish-American girl who has
been brought up in poverty and who is
suddenly transplanted to the home of
unknown and aristocratic relatives in
England. Her unfamiliarity with the
ways of high society gets her into all
sorts of trouble and leads to numerous
comic situations. There is an abundance
of clever Irish wit and beautiful love
story. In sending this company here,
Mr.. Morosco has taken great pains in
selecting the cast that would in every
way rival the one now playing in New
York City. 1t includes Marion Dentler,
Florence Roberts, Crosby Little, Violet
Moore, Cecil Owen, Harold Hendee, L. G..
Carroll, Albert Gran and John Z. Ire

Among book plays, Mrs. Wigs OF
the Cabbage Patch" which returns to
the opera house Wednesday, April l.
matinee and night, seems to have the
most superabundant vitality. From the
first the dramatization of Mrs. Rice's
two popular stories, "Mrs. Wigs of the
Cabbage Patch and "Lovey Mary" met
with degree of public favor more en-
thusiastic If anything than that awarded
those "best selling novels" of low life in
mean streets. In Mrs. Wigs herself,
Mis- HAY, Lovey Mary and Mr.. Stub
bins, the play presents four salient
types, each one of which remains firm
ly fixed in the most pleasant reeollec-
tions of the playgoer.
Strong as the roles, the play has been
even more richly cast. There are 20
character parts, and Cuby, the eft
horse" is prominent, though a little
broken in the wind.-Adv.
