erty values immensely.
They oppose improvements,
and thereby become destroyers,
placing the tremendous weight
of their hostile influence in OPP
position to the advancement of
the community.
Then there Is a certain class
of men who carry around q load
of crouch which they let loose
upon every possible occasion and
without regard for their victims.
They damn the town, and the
people, and everything and every
body but themselves.
To mention civic improvement
to them is like shaking a red rag
Rt a mad bull,
They rave at all times and at
everybody, and their rawlings
travel on wings, and grow, and
penetrate every section of the
country.
And then there is still another
class that comes along with their
contributions to the down fall of
their community, They are the
patrons of the mail order man
the worlds greatest enemy of the
small town community.
Many of these people utilize
the ilOeal stOreS when they want
something in a hurry or on credit
and then send the bulk of their
cash away to the great cities.
Fhey give the nail order man
the ripe ear of corn and toss the
husks to the loyal merchant.
They, too, are destroyers, and
are daily throttling the commuu-
ity which shelters them, the
cOmMsuity WHICH they should
foster and encourage in every
way, for without the close proxi-
NIFTY of the local stores and the
Markst PLACE their farms and
other property wopid be worth
far less than its present value.
These are just Q few of the
many ways in which a commun-
ity may be destroyed.
The builder creates and is en-
riched by his lahpTs.
The destroyer kills and gains
nothing but his own ultimate de-
StrEetiou.
These few lines have been
penned iu the hope that you will
pause aud think, for thiukiug
breeds healthy action. and action
is the birthplace of building, and
creation, and riches.
Every man is a possible build
eT, If he will but emerge from
the shadows and look upon the
bright side of life.

As the Editor
Sees Il.

If we want the right kind OF
lasting prosperity in this coun-
try we must get a lot of people
away from the ceuters of popula-
tion and onto the farms, where
opportunity awaits them. This
business of rushing off to the
great cities and depopulatiug
the farms is doing more to re-
tard prosperity than all other
causes combined. Any man of
common sense and a reasonable
degree of energy can make a
mighty fine living on the farm
and be reasonably independent
while so doing, while fully one
half of the population today is
underfed because they are stag
mating in cities where there are
ten applicants for every job.
Strikes, lockouts and other labor
wars do not greatly affect the
man on the farm, for crops grow
on just the same and appetites
do not decrease. The real great
ness of this country will come
when the land is more fully un-
der cultivation and worked to
better advantage on scientific
lines.

With a very few exceptions
the country has settled down to
the conviction that the time is
opportune for taking adequate
measures for the national defense.
Every day seems to demonstrate
more clearly than ever before
the absolute imperativeness of
such a course if we are to pre-
serve our entity and protect our
rights. The fate of Belgium
and China is forcing upon us the
conviction that a condition of
national helplessuess is no pro-
lection against foreign aggres-

We would really like to know
how many of our local farmers
materially increased their output
this year. Every farmer in the
country has been repeatedly var
ned through the public press
that the coming year will wit
ness a tremendous foreign de-
maud for all kinds of farm pro-
ducts at high prices, and if there
is one among US who does not
rise to the occasion and profit BY
this abnormal condition he is not
measuring up to the demands
and the opportunities that con.
front him.

Do you know that cooperation
is a mighty fine thing? That
cooperation among the church
es, and the societies, and the lod-
ges, and the business men and
the people is the backbone of
town and country? No commun-
ity can hope to really thrive un.
til it learns the lessons and value
of cooperation, for unless We
pull together the loads drawn
will be small and of slight avail.
Let US have more of the spirit of
cooperation in this town. for our
opportunities are many and as
yet uudeveloped.

WHAT MAKES TIRES
 GIVE BIG MILEAGE
Mangold, Representing the Goodrich Company, Talks About
 Making Tires

What makes a tire give big mileage? This question is always the go-ahead signal for warm discussion among motor ists and tire men Users of tires are beginning to ask themse.ves this uues- ton and are looking for the correct an swer with increasing insistence because they realize that it is possible to pay for needless materials in tire
 As matter of fact mere extra weight of rubber will not give extra mileage Neither will added layers of fabric neces- sarily add more miles of service. If an over balance of rubber is used, the car cass of the tire will give out long be- fore the tread is worn down and the motorst finds several pounds of rubber on his hands which he cannot use-and which he paid many dollars for
 On the other hand, If extra plies Of fabric are used in a tire they have to be paid for. but the tread will be gone long before the carcass, and the money for extra carcass is wasted.
 The real, long mleages tire is the tire with perfect balance between carcass and tread so that as much or more mile age is given as any extra thick tire could give, without costing the motorist so much
 Along these lines R. l.. Mangod, local adjustor for the B. F. Goodrich com- pany. makes these interesting remarks:
 Nobody picks fat man to win a long distance race. Ii is the 1.-the sinewy athlete who leads the bunch. Goodrich

districts of England and Scotland. take the Rhine trip or journey to Italy and Greece. The lake regions of Scotland has been advertised as having no equal for beauty anywhere else in the world.
 The splendor and grandeur of the Swiss Alps and the Pyrenees have been made attractive because they were ac- cessible and have been described in story and in song. The few remaining evidences of a prehistoric age at Stone- henge have been made romantic in myths and legends of the Druids.
 These Americans, who annually embark on their pilgrimages to the shrines of Europe, must now, for a few years at least.l forego these tours because of the reconstruction period that must follow this great war. The recovery from the physical damages caused must be slow, and unhampered by the casual sight seeing tourist. Roads, long the pride of France Belgium, Germany and the low lands. because of the excessive use made of them in the quick haulage of heavy artillery, cavalry and the heavily loaded tractors and motor trucks, must be re- constructed. This reconstruction will en- tail vast sums of money and require ar ftfitS ol pSdtt. w IcTt dTt pOtu u totht from? At the rate of daily cost to maintain these great armies in the field under war conditions, but a few months will suffice to deplete the resources of every participant. The early work of re-establshment must be that of agricul- ture, manufacture and shipping. These activities will of necessity defer the work of highway reconstruction and the resto- ration of bridges, many of which have already been completely demolished. The hotels will be long in recovering from the effects of assault and footing. The men and the means for these great works will both be lacking.
 The roads? While we have been envy ing England, France, Germany and Italy their wonderful arteries of highway travel, the improvement at home has gone on apace. Many agencies have been at work. States and counties through out the length and breadth of the land have awakened from the sleep of apathy and are doing in true American spirit each it's part-wonderful work of im- provement and, in many instances, perma- nerit as to character. By permanent is meant roads of concrete with brick sur face. It is gratifying to observe the miles of roads of this character which have been built during the past four or five years, and to note that during 1914 hundreds of miles of such are being built. The mileage during 1915 will be

FORD MOVIES

These are busy days in the moving picture department of the Ford Motor company. That department. which began with two employees in the basement of the mammoth Ford plant a year and a. half ago, has now grown to the size and national importance of many of the inde- pendent movie producing companies, One of the features of the Ford film service is The Ford-Detroit Weekly which tells in moving pictures the story of the weekly happenings and scenes, not only of Detroit. but of the territory with in 100 miles of that city. ''The Ford Detroit Weekly now circuiates 50 copies in approximately 1000 theatres every week from Belfast, Me- to Seattle. Wash, and from Marquette Mich to New Orleans.
 The films are distributed through Ford branches to Ford dealers and by the dealers to the moving picture theatres in their respective territories In this way an enormous weekly Ford audience of substantially s50o,Ooo people has been de- veloped.
 The Ford film service carries almost as wide a range of topics and events as a news service. For example, a Ford operator recently went to Findlay, O.. to take the highly dangerous pictures of a new oil we'll being ''snot" Inasmuch as this entails a generous use of dyna- mite and nitro-glycerine. it was not an assignment highly coveted by the oper- ator.

So exten- rix xFa1. tlaa f1s,, and so lively is it's popular demand that the Ford company is now buying films in those parts of the country beyond the reach of it's own staff of operators.

OVERLAND GETSBY ON FEARFUL GRADE Remarkable Hill Climbing Feat Performed in
 Phoenix. Ariz.

What Is declared to be the most strenuous hill climbing feat ever per formed hy motor car in the southwest is trip made by an Overland model sl touring car to the 'tIole-in-the- Rock near Phoenix. Nriz.
 In lieu Of a road up the steep cliff. the car was forced to push it's way up an incline of 20 per cent over loose gravel trail. There were two bad turns with the path on the bareface of tho cliff This necessitated slowing down to speed little faster than s walk. eliminating any advantage which might have been gained from a flying start. Consequently the car was forced 10 maKe the climb entirely on its own pulling power.
 The ''Hole-in-the-R Rock was haiways been said to be inaccessible for vehicles. So far as is known, the Overland is the only motor car which ever successfully negotiated the climb.
 A remarkable feature of the test is that the car was equipped with smooth tread tires and no chains were used.
