He was nine years old and practical,

had made it very plain. Shadrach.
Meshach and Abednego were their
names, and by the power of faith they
had been rescued from the fiery pit
unharmed. The story was past all COM

Dancer in Overripe Glover.

Although crimson clover is an ex-
cellent forage plant and is eagerly
eaten by many animals, it is nearly
always fatal to horses and mules when
eaten in the full ripe stage. The rea-
son for this is that as the clover
reaches maturity, the little hairs with
which it is covered become hard and
indigestible. On being eaten they form
into hard balls somewhere in the
digestive tract and cause stoppage
which resists every known treatment

we began on January 81. on that date
we announced in our newspaper adver-

1t is no mere figure of speech to say
that the ink used in making public
our 'Fair-List' prices was hardly iy
before the greatest commotion that has
ever occurred in the tire world started.
a great deal of tire history has been
made in the three months since the
publication of the Goodrich 'Fair-List'
There has been a general reduction in
tire prices-all very acceptable un-
doubtedly, as far as the tire user is
concerned.
Naturally. we who are identified
with the b. f. Goodrich Company feel
that we have done big thing for the
people who buy tires. We believe we
are entitled to credit for having put
tire selling upon fair basis-a basis
to the dealer and fair to the user. 1t
is no longer necessary for a tire dealer
to have two price lists. one to be kept
hidden, for his own use. and the other
TO be exhibited to the buyer.
