GOODYEAR TIRES AT
ANTE-BELlUM PRICES

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
announce mo war prices on Goodyear
Tires" Mr. F. A. Sieberling, president
OF the Company, thus explains their
unique position.
I'VE advanced Goodyear prices, as
others did theirs, when the rubber
panic came. Almost in a day crude
rubber rose in New York from 55 cents
per pound to much over a dollar.
THE New York supply was too
small to consider. We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick OF
the rubber there. By acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained 1900
900 pounds of the finest rubber.
That big supply Of rubber is now
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory in fkron. 1t constitutes the
best Of the London supply.
I'VE are using the same grade OF
rubber and the same amount Of it as
we always have used in these tires.
I'VE are running our factory with
three shifts of men. twenty-four hours
a day. So long as We remain in this
fortunate position on rubber, We shall
supply the users at before-war prices
to the limit of our capacity"

WAR SPIRIT IN THE NURSERY
Small Scions of Princely European
Houses Take the infection
From Their Elders.

Even in the midst OF war the human
element remains. This little story
came from Berlin the day before war
had been declared on France:
Two little grandsons of Kaiser Will
helm, children OF the crown prince,
appear to have inherited the martial
temperament of their ancestors. The
eldest, Prince Wilhelm, somehow got
hold Of the fact that the prince i'm
perial of 1870 went to the front in the
Franco-Prussian war and asked his
mother, Shall | go?" Yes" said the
crown princess. but grandpapa will
put OF the war for Is years, when you
will be grown up"
The young princes play all day at
"Austrians and Russians" a newly in
vented military game, which consists
in knocking over rows of sand piles
and the Russians are always ignomin'
iously defeated.
Little County Zchichy, six-year-old
relative of Austria's ambassador al
Berlin, who has been staying at the
seaside near the family of the Prussian
crown prince, is the local hero. He
stole away to the railway station few
days ago and, armed with tin sword
and a genuine pistol without ammuni
ton, proposed to go to the front. bu'
was ingloriously captured by the en-
emy-a fat Pomeranian nurse.

RASH ON CHILD'S HEAD

2l27 Division ST., Baltimore, Md
The trouble on my child's face and
head appeared as a rash and then 1t
got so that the skin looked drawn and
water and blood would run out. That
would cause a scab and her head and
face were a mass OF sores. They
would crack and bleed and then her
head began to get scaly and thought
1t was dandruf started to take the
scab off and found her head was a
mass OF them. When she would cry
II seemed worse because the water
would stream down her face and itch
and she would dig and scratch. Her
little head was bald as 1t was so sore
that all the hair came out. My baby
used to cry at night and could not
sleep.
Then decided to get Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. l would make lather
of the Cuticura Soap but her face and
| head were so sore l hated to touch
| them so would take a soft cloth and
wash her head. After | dried it with
a soft towel I would gently apply the
| Cuticura Ointment. With the first
treatment could see a change In my
baby and before / used the whole
treatment she was completely healed
and her skin Is beautiful" (Signed)

MARKET SYSTEM is FAVORED
President Of Illinois Federation Of La
Dor Strongly Endorses Cooper
alive Theory.

At the recent conference on mar
keting and rural credits at Chicago,
President John H. Walker of the ILL
nois Federation Of Labor came out
strongly in favor Of the marketing sys-
tenn proposed.
Amor other things, President Walk
er said:
Cooperative marketing, from or
ganized labor's point Of view, not only
affects the producer but the consumer
as well. And while there is no intent
on the part Of either the producer or
consumer to do any injustice to the
middle men, manufacturers, whole
sale men, commission men and job
bers, transportation or terminal cor,
poration, still, as compared with the
present situation, IL We provide for
only allowing these men and institu
tions what they are justly entitled to-
what their labor service to the con-
sumer and producer is actually worth
and that is all they are entitled to
their income is going to be affected
adversely, even more seriously than
the producers and consumers income
is increased. For cooperative mar
keting, IL provided for and established
cannot help but mean the establish
ment Of cooperative wholesale and
manufacturing departments, as well as
a consumers's department. And with
the power Of all three of these asso-
Citations used as intelligently and ef'
fectively as possible to prevent them
selves from being exploited untustly
from any other source or agency, that
is what the result will be.
Organized labor is in favor Of CO.
operative marketing by the producers
because that means eliminating the
uncertainty of selling their product
and the establishing Of a reasonable
and uniform price for that product
In the very nature Of things, when a
price Is established by that process

price, rather than how much can we
gouge out OF 1t as at present.
Organized labor, however, goes
farther than this. We believe that in
order to assure no one being done an
injustice, guaranteeing the impossi
bility Of any one being taken advan
tage Of, that the consumers should be
part OF that cooperative marketing
association. We believe this is per
fectly reasonable and logical because
every producer Is in addition a con
sumner. In fact, each producer is gen
orally restricted to a very few articles
as producer, while the same individ
uals are all consumers In a much
greater degree; and II the Producer
as we'll as the consumers are all II
one association, they would be much
more apt to fix just rates"
