nUT more layers Of Fab.
Oric than we do in the
Il walls, to strengthen
them, and the friction increases,

Put .te,cer layers, and the
walls would not be strong enough
to carry the load of the Car.
So there you are-Mr. Tire
User!
Why put MORE layers
of Fabric in the Walls of the
Tire than will properly carry
the load, when each additional
layer is an additional deveiober
of that FRICTION-HEAT which
is to Tires what Old Age is
to Man?

But, It Notwithstanding all
this,-the FABRIC is the part of
the Tire which goes first.
Because the sides of the Tire
do most of the work in running,
bending and stretching a mil
lion times an hour, in scores of
different directions.
This bending of the sides
causes Friction between the layers
of Canvas working against each
other,-Friction causes Heat
the Heat over-cures and dries out
the Rubber Adhesive between
layers, which then separate from
each other, in spots, the threads
weakening or wearing out chafng
against each other.
Then you have, in due time,
the incipient blowout, or other
form of Tire-Death.

THE best Pneumatic
Tire is only as strong
L as its weakesf part.
Strengthening its strongest
narts is as useless as putting a
fifth Wheel on a Wagon.
Yet this is often done to
provide "Selling-feature" and
Talking Point"
The weakest part of every
Pneumatic Tire is its Walls or
Sides, not its Tread,-its Cotton
Fabric or Stocking not its
Rubber "Sole."
No price would be too high
to pay for a material that, re:
placing Cotton in the Walls OF
Pneumatic Tires, would last as
long as the Goodrich Rubber
Tread could be made to wear.
Neither Silk, nor Linen, nor
any other known Fabric yet dis
is so good, for this
purpose, as Cotton, and choice
tong.hbred Cotton is the best
material that money can buy
for Tire Fabric.

By Land Now

You can make no better investment
than to buy Western farm land
and do it before the high prices of
and great demand for agricultural
products force a big increase in val
ues. In the Big Horn Basin and in
the North Platte Valley, irrigated
farms are being cut in two and offer
ed for sale on very favorable terms.
All crops there are the heaviest on
record. You can secure a Govern
ment irrigated farm near Powell,
Wyo., almost as gift. Ask about
this. The value of this years crop,
on thousands of acres in Nebraska
and Colorado, is equal to the original
cost of the land.
If you are not fixed to buy on easy
terms, take 32O-acre Mondell home
stead in Wyoming, for mixed dairy
farming. Look the West over now.
You can ride all day thru miles and
miles of bumper crops and make your
own deduction as to what this con-
dition means to the man who will buy
land in these localities now. Write

Paternalism and Pioneerism.

"A policy of paternalism in government
and statutory morals is not keeping the
faith with the pioneer SPIRIT" declares
Thomas W. Shelton Of the Norfolk (Va.)
bar. I'VE boast of progressive country,
but when men are taught to lean upon the
Government, instead of supporting it, the
nation is not progressing, but it is retro
crossing. A nation is no stronger, purer,
or better than its people. Governmental
Improvement is simply corollary to indi-
vidualy Improvement. That is the reason
for popular campaigns of education. 1t
was sense of personal responsibility and
individual independence that conceived
governmental independence and won it in
America, and it is that spirit, alone, that
will preserve it. This country needs fewer
new laws and more real men; it needs less
Jural regulation and more moral sensibility.
1t needs less public training and more do
mesticity; it needs.f fewer codes and more
decalogues. 1t is certain death to manhood
and good citizenship to lead men away from
personal responsibility and self reliance
into the dulusion of artificial standards"

Barrel at COIfax,

ColfaX, Nov. Tolerant Parish can be
safely counted for Lieutenant Governor
Thomas 6. Barrel, in his candidacy before
the Democratic primary for Governor
Sentiment already was strong for him, but
since his appearance at Colfax he has
gained considerable added strength
Pleasant supporters here realize that Mr.
Barrett has knocked into "cocked hat
all the silly charges brought against him
Lieutenant Governor Barrett received a
cordial reception here when he addressed
large political assembly in the interest of
his candidacy for Governor. Mr.. Barrel
made an eloquent address, in which he
contradicted the statements of Col. Pleas
ant, accusing him Of voting secret ballot
in the Caddo prohibition election in 1908,
and also the charge of ''faking'' case OF
appendicitis to avoid voting at the second
election on prohibition in Caddo.
Mr.. Barrett clearly outlined his position
as prohioitionist, giving bis record on all
prohibition issues, stating that his record
tor the past twenty years is written On the
pages of the journal at Baton Rouge and
he could not dodge it if he wanted to. He
made it clear to his audience that his pro-
hlbitlon career started years ago when he
voted ''yea,' prohibiting the sale of liquor
within five miles of the Colfax High School
as recorded in the Senate Journal of july
II, 1898, page 1888. Does this look like a
sudden flop, as Col. Pleasant charges?
Referring to Col. Pleasant, Mr.. Barrel
dwet on the statements accusing him OF
casting secret ballot and 'faking" a case
of appendicitis, and produced signed
statements by reputable physicians, and
prominent citizens of Shreveport, who vol.
UNFAIRLY came forward to give the lie to the
false charges. A signed denial from five
reputable physicians disposed of the ap.
pendicitis charge, and three statements
signed by prominent citizens of Shreveport
contradict the secret ballot charge; YET
Col. Pleasant has not had the manhood tc
correct his statements.
