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.
We accept no excessive orders, but dealers
will be kept supplied, And we charge them,
until further notice. only ante-belum prices.
That means that Goodyears best
tires built selling way below other tires.

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,
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
ber They bought-before the ADVANCE $780,
600 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 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 we're first on the ground. We were quick
est in action. AS a result, we shall soon have in

storage an almost record supply Of this extra
grade Of rubber.
And we paid about June prices
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubber available now
for many makers lie 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-grade
rubber.

Goodyear Prices
1t 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 Goodyears.

The County Fair.

This years county fair will pre-
sent the largest and most compre-
hensiye showing of the county's re-
sources so far made, and the assOcl-
alton is making the most complete
arrangements so far undertaken for
the welfare and entertainment OF
the visitors. Everything is progress
ing most auspiciously for a success
full exhibition next month. Unusu-
al interest is being manifested in
providing exhibits which promise to
out do all previous showings..
This years big show. which be-
gins in Lynden on September 30,
will eclipse all former exhibitions
in every particular. Applications
for entries in the various depart
ments are being received daily, and
the main buildings promise to be
filled with an almost endless varie-
ty of products.
The display of fruit and vegeta-
bles will easily be the largest ever
shown in this section of the state.
The fruit and vegetable crops this
year leave almost nothing to be
wished for, and the fact that the
date for the exhibition comes when
time to come to the fair. gives as
surance of a successful annual gath
ering of the tillers of the soil, and
affords them a good opportunity to
mingle with their friends from va
riOus parts of the county, and to
compare notes and renew acquain-
tances.
Stock raisers, too. are taking an
unusual interest in the fair this
year, and more applications for en-
try of high grade cattle and horses
have been received by Secretary G..
w. Frick than in any previous year.
The best exhibits of stock ever made
in this section of the state will be
seen at Lynden this fall.
Stock men of the Pacific North
west have become aware that our
county fair offers a splendid op-
pOrtunity for them to get in touch
with the man on the farm. 1t is
certain that at this falls exhibition
every available stall will be pressed
into use.
Many improvements have been
made in the already beautiful and
commodious fair grounds. A new
building to be used exclusively for
school exhibits is being erected and
considerable money has been ex-
pended in otherwise increasing the
facilities for exhibit purposes.
This annual county fair is a
medium for the exchange of ideas
and methods. and affords an oppor-
tunity to show what may be done
in the various lines of industry. 1t
is also a valuable object lesson to
visitors from distance of what the
possibilities of our section of the
state are in the way of fruit and
vegetable raising, dairying and
stock raising.
Every citizen of the county should
give the fair management hearty CO.
operation and support. 1t is due
them. Proper support of the county
fair will be of financial benefit to
every resident of the county.

that whatsoever happens in politi-

growers are preparing to bring
exhibits to the fair. which will be
held in Lynden on September 30
and October 1, 2, and 3.
Fruit fit to be taken to the
fair must have been we'll grown.
1t is possible for poorly cared-for
orchard to produce "a winning plate.
but it is rare thing, and, when
it comes to the larger box classes,
practically impossible. Well grown
fruit has been properly sprayed,
cultivated. pruned. thinned and har-
vested.
Too great emphasis is usually
put on the matter of size. The
abnormal, whether it be an apple
the size of pumpkin or five
legged calf is of interest, but should
never be made even an important
feature and could well be left out
entirely.
Fruit for exhibit should be select
ed from a large quantity and in
good day light, should show the
proper form. size and color for
the variety and the individuals
should be uniform in the above
characteristics. 1t should not be
necessary to say that show fruit
must be wholly free from injury or
blemish of any kind.
If emphasis is placed on the
commercial side of the fruit in
dustry, pack becomes important
and should have careful study. es-
pecially when the fruit is apples
or pears.
Proper packing presupposes cor
rect grading, which should have
been done in good light and with
a large quantity of fruit at hand.
1t is the custom to give equal val
ne, to bulge, alingnment, height
of ends, cOmpactness and attract
iveness In a commercial way. how
ever, the amount of bulge and the
compactness are more important
than the other features. Most of
the packed apples which win prizes
have been put up by expert pack
ers.
District displays are of value at
the County Fair for advertising pur-
poses and prove one of the most
attractive features of many fairs.
The whole district should join in
preparing them, under the direction
of committee, and each contrib
ute according to his ability.

900: to Peru, about $11 100000;
to Ecuador, about $4,00O,000: to
Bolivia, about 100000. British
exports to Bolivia were double in
1910 what they were in 1909, which
gives some idea of how the South
American trade has been increasing
under the stimulus of the approach
ing completion of the canal.
Germany's total exports of mer-
chandise in 1911 amounted to ST.
S27, S95,S33, and the United King
dom's to $2,7S4 1892, 16O. The ex-
ports of the United States the same
year were $2,204,322,409. The
British navy might keep open the
Empires arteries of commerce. but
the handicap of war would quickly
advance the United States to first
place in the worlds trade
Heretofore the United States has
been handicapped in South Ameri-
can trade, not only by the fact that
most of our exchanges have been
drawn through European banks but
by the greater obstacle in the
fact that the Latin-Americans have
not liked us. They have been su-
spicious of the United States, in
sisting, in spite of all our protesta-
tons to the contrary, that we were
only awaiting the chance to gobble
up Mexico and Central America
and finally to annex the American
hemispheres. President WifNpn's
course in accepting the mediation
services of Argentine, Brazil and
Chilli in the settlement of our trouble
with Mexico has done more than all
the dollar diplomacy methods to con-
vince the Latin-American countries
that the United States desires moth
ing from it's neighbOrs on this CONT
nent except that they maintain
stable governments and develontheir
countries and their people in peace.
The better feeling inspired by this
nations course in dealing with Mex
leo is going to prove a potent fact
or in the development of our trade
with our Latin-American neighbors.

A BIG Market for Our Products.

The general Europen war now
in progress Is certain to be com
mercially suicidal for Germany and
England. Their loss in trade credits
is certain to be even greater than
their vast loss in the direct costs
of war and the United States Will
be the gamer. This country is n
bout to begin an active campaign
for the trade of the West coast OF
South America which England and
Germany have heretofore dominated,
and by transhipments at Valparaiso
our merchants will be able also to
reach with better advantage into
the Argentine market. The dom
nance which the United States
might readily acquire while the
energies of her two principal com
petitOrs were being exhausted in
strife might easily become over
whelming.
To Argentine alone Germany and
the United Kingdom now export a
bout 100000 In merchandise
annually; to Chilli, about $7O,OOO,-
