MIS- Yolnne Of Rubber

T>HIS Yozame Of Rubber
Buying, Manufacturing
ard Selling, with the
corres2o-dnng reduction of Over
head Expense when divided over
so many classes, is what gives to
the Goodrich Factory the lowesf
Ccsf for Tire Manufacturing of the
highest Grade.
The Responsibility to so many
lines Of Dealers end Consumers, in
so may lines of Trade, is what
makes it SO xcclo.s in guarding the
Quality and Value of each Product
that bca-s the Goodrich name-so
slow to launch new things until
thoroughly tested-so keen to make
Success sure and continuous, rather
than dramatic ard transient.
And Of ell these Goodrich
Products, that which best expresses
the of our capacity, our
Experience ard Good-faith is the
Goodrich Safety Tread Tire.
It does this through giving the
greatest Mileage and Residence In
the field, at the forrest Cost, per
mile; to Users.

a number Of other jobbing points
in Mississippi were similarly af-
fected.
The attention of the Secretary
Of the Business League was called
to the matter July 18th by Mr..
of the Greenwood Gro.
Co. He Immediately wrote Mr..
Hattendorf, G. +. A. Y. & NJ.
81. C.. r. R. who answered on
the 21st that he had been absent
for ten days and that the omis-
sion of Greenwood and other
Mississippi jobbing centers (group
c points, from the tariff effective
July 21st had not been called to
his attention until the receipt Of
of 18th from the Secretary;
that he had taken up with the
Trans Continental lines (who is
sued the tariff asking for cor
rection so as to include Green
wood, etc. Subsequently on the
Oath the Secretary received a let
ter from MI. Hattendorf from
which we quote, viz:
Since writing you on the Dist
inst. there have been further de-
in regard tothe above
matter and we are informed by
one Of our connections that they
intend to establish the rates you
to Mississippi Group C
points as per TRANSIT Continental
traffic. Furthermore, that they
expect to ask the Interstate
Commission to permit them
to put these rates in on short
notice."
From this it would appear that
the omission of the Mississippi
Group C points (including Green
wood) was an error of the Trans
Continental lines in issuing the
tariff.
We understand the matter was
also taken up by the Wholesale
Grocers affected, with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and

the other regulations belong to the
limbo OF forgotten things.
OF the multitudinous changes made
In base ball in its span of life, the
most marked are to be found in the
pitching department. Under present
conditions the principal object of the
hurler is to put the pellet where the
batter doesn't want it. In the old
days the reverse was true, and the
slab artist tried to pitch to suit the
swatter.
Consider a whiskered Ty Cobb of
those days facing an ante-bellum
Johnson. whose frontispiece is also
decorated with spinach. Says Mr.
Cobb to Mr. Johnson:
Il will take fast one. waist high
and right over the plate, if you
please"
Under the old regime the pitch had

was permitted. Under the rules OF
20 years ago, which obtained when
the Knickerbockers and the New
York City club contested the frs
match game in Hoboken, the pitcher
was perched behind a line As fee
from the plate. The mission of th'
old slab artist was TO put 'em wher'
; the batter wanted 'em. No strike wa
( called unless the batter swung, ant

LANSING SUCCEEDS BRYAN.

Robert Lansing, who as counselor
of the state department has advised
President Wilson in law and prece-

United States towards belligerent
governments since the outbreak of
the European war. was named secre-
tary of state to succeed William Jen-

Few appointments in recent years
have given such widespread satisfac-
ton in the nation. Mr.. Lansing is a
lifelong democrat. but he has devoted
his time to international law and di-
plomacy and is as popular with for
mer republican officials as with his
political colleagues. Members OF the
cabinet who talked with the president
ION the subject were unanimous IL
their recommendation that he shoulC
be appointed.
