How much per
DELIVERED Mile?
THAT'S the Tire Question in
a Nutshell

TNHAT'S the Tire Question in
a Nutshell
Not-"how much does
the Tire Cost"-"how much Rubber is
in it"-''how many layers of Cotton
fabric"-or show many different Vul-
canizings does it go through"
Because,-Results have shown that
some of the Tires which have most
Cotton, Rubber, Weight and stiffness,
give much less MILEAGE and ReSil-
fence than other tires made lighter by
more expert workmen, through more
direct and precise Methods.
Nor is so-called Mileage Guaran-
tee" worth considering in purchasing of
Tires.
Because mo Tires are actually
guaranteed to give definite Mileage,
no matter what the surface reading
may suggest.
Such Guarantee" would be imprac
ticable with the best Tire ever made,
or that ever will be made.
This, unless the Tire User could,
in turn, guarantee the kind of roads
over which he would dltOdyS drive, the
kind of driUing his Chauffeur would
dltDoys do, and the air pressure he
would dhDdyS carry on each Tire.

Read any of these Guarantees"

don't guarantee anything except that
the Maker alone shall decide every

The larger the Mileage Guarantee"
the higher the price the Maker must

the increased risk" of replacing Tires
that are reasonably sure to wear out
in considerable numbers, before they
have given the Guaranteed" Mileage.
The Careful Driver, over good
roads and streets, would thus pay
more than the Tire is lUorth, so that
the Reckless Driver, or hu who must
continually drive over bad roads and
streets, might get Mileage he is not en-
titled to, at the Careful Drivers expense.
TNHE Goodrich Safety Tread

A similar Quality, in the field

RECENT DEATHS.
BOyntOn

Mrs. Harriet Chamberlin Boyn-
ton, 50 years old, died late Thurs
day evening after about a weeks
illness. She was one of the remark
able elderly people of the town and
retained to the last her unusual
memory and eyesight. She was
somewhat deaf but not enough to
prevent her conversing easily with
her friends and taking an interest
in the affairs of those around her.
One of her chief interests was St.
Andrews church and only last week
she talked about the repairs which
have been made on the parish room
and expressed a wish to see what
had been done. She was particular
ly fond of company and kept post
ed on the affairs of the day. Har-
riet Chamberlin was born in Bar
death when she was IA years old,
caused her to go to the home of her
uncle, Judge Sias in Danville where
she lived until her marriage. She
attended school at the opening year
at the old Methodist Seminary at
Newbury. In 1850 she married Da-
vid BOynton and they moved to ST.
Johnsbury in 1853. In 1855 they
built the house which was Mrs.
Boyntons home for 60 years. She
had three children, daughter who
died in childhood, William S., who
died three years ago and Henry G.
who survives her. The only other
surviving relative is a niece, Can
dace Chamberlin Dodge in Los An
geles. The funeral was held Mon
day Afternoon at o'clock. Rev.

DANCED FoR THE INDIANS
Miss Ruby n. Stone Astonished an
Old Ind an 40 Years Old.


Miss Ruby NJ. Stone of West Som
erville, Mass. who is now teaching
in Ell Paso, Texas, has written a
very interesting description of her
experience at an Indian dance on
New Years eve which is published
in the Somerville, (Mass.) Journal.
Miss Stone was for some years a res
ident of st. Johnsbury Center and
has many friends here. Her father,
E. j. Stone of West Somerville, is
enjoying a western trip this winter
and while on it visited his daughter
at Ell Paso. The dance which Miss
Stone describes so wildly was wit
messed at Ysleta, Texas, by Miss
Stone and a party of friends who
where dining at an inn that evening.
Miss Stone, who is a dancing teach
er herself, became so interested in
watching the dances that she asked
to be allowed to take part in them
and quite surprised her partner, an
old man of 20, by showing him some
steps which he was unable to follow.
Afterwards the party learned that
there were several cases of small pox
in the Indian village. Miss Stone
closed her article by saying that she
had seen dances which were prettier
but never dancing that was SO Sc
rious, such part of life's business,
as that at Ysleta only IA miles from
civilization.

DINNER TO PROF. PUTNEY
by Mr.. and Mrs. w. o.
Lane in Burlington on Birthday.


The following was taken from the
Burlington Free Press of Feb. 27:
mr.. and Mrs. w. O. Lane enter
tanned the teachers of the high school
with a dinner served at the Klifa
Club house at $50 o'clock last eve
ming in honor of the 18th anniver-
sary of the birthday of Charles E.
Putney, instructor in Greek and La
tin at the school. 1t was a happy
occasion, covers being laid for forty,
Miss Lucinda Smith catering.
Mr.. Putney was born in Bow, N.
H, and prepared himself for college.
Before he entered college he an
swered the call of his country and
enlisted in the 18th New Hampshire
regimentin which he served through
the war. On his return home he en-
tered and later graduated from Dart
mouth College. He taught while he
was studying and later came to St.
Johnsbury, where for 25 years he
was president of st. Johnsbury Acad-
envy. After leaving St. Johnsbury
he went to the Templeton district in
Massachusetts. He will have taught
at the high school for fourteen years
next April. He received more than
100 letters of congratulation from
pupils who live out of town and who
have been in his classes. He also
received a number of flowers. Fol-
lowing the dinner a social evening
was enjoyed"

$1,991,662.S7

In the above item of S749, ATOP
is included only appropriations that
may properly be termed continuing.
For example, this does not include
a special highway appropriation of
$4,000 or anything for the colleges
except their continuing apprOpria-
ton, which totals $4,000.
In 1912 the colleges received an
additional appropriation of $780, 100,
and their present requests are for a
still further increase. Requests for
special appropriations for special
work on highways and bridges now
total $136, 800, which may be cut to
$4,000 for the biennial term or $685.
600 per year. Add to this $50, 1000
for the colleges annually, which but
equals their appropriation in 1912,
and further add $3.50, 200 for other
special appropriations asked for and
we have a total for the biennial term
of 100000 or $4,000 per year
already asked for. This does not
include anything for the home for
feeble-minded except the $4,000
now available, though their report
asks for $10O,000; nor does it in
clude anything for the Vail school,
which includes an appropriation of
$4,000; nor does the above include
any increased appropriation for the
purposes of elementary education.

ACCEPT THE GIFT
Senate Would Take Speedwell Farms
For Vermont SchOOI-Legisla-
ture Resumes Work Today.

The members of the Vermont leg
islature will return to Montpelier
today after a three days adjourn
ment to attend town meetings to be-
gin the final lap on legislative work.
1t is hoped that final adjournment
can be taken by the goth of March
which allows a little over two weeks
work
BY a unanimous vote on Friday
the senate suspended the rules and
adopted a joint resolution accepting
from t. N. Vail his gift of the agri-
cultural school and Speedwell Farms
to be used for educational purposes.
1t is expected the house will also take
favorable action at an early date.
The report of the committee on this
matter sets forth that the property
offered by Mr.. Vail is very valuable
and is fully equipped as an agricul-
tural school; that the farm itself
ought to be self-sustaining; that
there is on the farm a goodly num-
Der of head of valuable cattle, horses,
sheep and swine. Mr.. Vail makes
no restrictions in the offer other
than that the property be used as
an agricultural school. The donor
thinks that eventually every county
in the state will demand such an in
stitution and he points out that the
state will save the capital cost of
over 100000 if it accepts Speedwell
Farms. The cost of maintaining the
school under state ownership is es-
timated at $4,000 a year by Mr..
Vail.
State Finances Insufficient
Redfeld Proctor, chairman of the
committee on appropriations made a
report to the house on Friday of the
financial condition of the state which
follows:
Income during 1914 without state
tax, $1,969,1S1.51.
