SILVERrON TIRE OFFSETS
.-...~ RISE IN GASOLINE PRICES

With the price of gasoline soaring,
when Tie car owner figures his cost of
upkeep, next in importanc to gasoline
comes the cost of tires. One of the
big tire manufacturers has come to
the front and made long forward
stride toward reducing the cost of gas
oline through a tire construction which
greatly reduces internal friction.
This largest rubber factor in Ameri-
ca, the &. F. Goodrich company of Ak
ron, Ohio, rightfully credited with max
ing he first pneumatic tire on this
continent, in a recent announcement
traced their present Silvrtown Cord
Tire back to the Palmer principle of
construction used in Bicycle Tires way
back in 1892.
In doing away with the thread fabric
lin the Sllvertown Cord Tire, taking the
S5x5 size as an example, each cord is
strong enough to sustain the weight of
$50 pound man. The Silvertown
also differs from the former Goodrich
Palmer-Web Tire, as we'll as all other
thread fabric tires, (so-called cord
tires) in that it has only two layers
of real cord, thus reducing the posi-
bility of internal friction and internal
heating.

LIGHTNING WITH FIRE
DESTROYS V. C. CHEMICAL c.


Americas. July LITTLE plant of the
Virginia Carolina Chemical company
just outside the city limits of Ameri-
Gus, was totally destroyed by fire Mon
day afternoon when IT was struck by
lightning. The fire alarm reached
the city fire department at 1850 p. m,
and the stroke which brought the
flames from the building preceded the
call a few minutes.
The plant is valued at over $4,000
and a good supply of fertilizer and
raw goods was on hand. The concern
gives in it's taxes at $4,000, which al
so covers 152 acres of land.
1t is said that the loss by fire is
fully covered by insurance.

SOME OTHER MISSING HANDsHAKE.

Had Candidate Charles E. Hughes made other campaign
bunder than to fail to shake hands with the dominant Hiram
Johnson when he visited California, he would still have been
guilty of tactical mistake that will live long in political his
tory But that omission only the surface indication of
general of conduct which Progressves suspcousy
viewed as unsympathetic.
Sticking to the tariff, and the uninspiring Wilson-ap
pointed office issues he failed to clasp hands
with the liberal feeling of the day.
He voiced sympathy with the aspirations and
ideals of the mass of Progressves of 1912
He withheld merited recognition of the really remarkable
legislative record of Democratic under Mr. Wilson
and gained nothing thereby the reputation of
structive critic.
In states where half of the Republican party struggling
for freedom from Old Guard dominance he held hoped
for that would have turned the scales toward the
of public service maintaining instead cold and technical
trality
Seeking to concae both branches of his party he merely
impressed regulars hard to handle Progressves as
pale memory of the Hughes of 1908.
Where asked Progressves and independents
leader unafrad to offend party bosses public
interest? Where the brave determination risk party and
personal advantage for public good Where crusader for
public good Where the crusader popular rights for public
morality, for clean, freehanded government?
Puzzled they waited for word recognition and sym
pay and handclasp of welcome and greeting remembering
the inspired leader of 1908 Like the greeting should
have been ohnson it restrained the supposed

"These prosperous conditions have
had and are having a marked effect
Upon the cotton market. It would be
a mistake to assume that current
prices are alone due to the acute sit
uation Of the supply The situation
has been just as acute at other times,
and prices for brief period were rel
aLiyely as high, but they were not sus-
tanned. SO far they have been sus-
tanned this time, and the Indications
are they will continue to be sustained
This is and will continue to be due
TO the South having financial power
to force cotton to a price that will
bear d normal relation, not only to
the price Of cotton cloth, but to the
price of such commodities as steel, cop
PER, wool and those prime necessities,
meat and grain. The prices of all
these are most unusual. II they are
logical, then the price of cotton is log
Iical. One is no more abnormal than
/ the other.
"There is beginning to be some talk,
and there will likely be more later on,
about an enormous increase in acreage
planted to cotton next year. The prob
ability is that there will be some
heavy selling during next spring, Oh
perhaps Lefore, upon the assumption
that this acreage will depress prices.
Those developments, however, that it
seems most reasonable to expect, do
mt support this conclusion. They, on
the contrary, seem to indicate that
this view of events could easily lead
into very serious errors.
Says OUTLOOK is ErlGnt
"How about the outlook? The logic
Of known facts indicates very clearly
that there will be a pressing need of
100000 bales another year, and they
point to 15c as a reasonable price. The
production Of another such crop is not
logical expectation Climatic tondi-
tions and the weevil especially the
weevil, are more potential influences
in shaping the size of the cotton crop
than the acreage. The record points
/ to 100000 bales as most unusual
and even to 100000 as an exception.
Then there is an even chance that next
years crop may have to meet con-
dition caused by peace being restored
to the world.
at is true that prices may be tenn
Ipora1ily depressed through fear of a
large acreage. Based on these eviden-
ces. sound reasoning, however, indi-
Gates that whoever sells cotton below
15c next year upon such an assumption
will lose money. Economic business,
Industrial and financial conditions, the
obvious needs Of the world, point to
values being sustained, and that any
srcp that can likely he grown will sell
ifc. d relatively high price.
at is clear that current prosperity
ard the high price is due directly to
cotton having definitely become q sur

that should cotton cease to be sur-
rius crop, then the basis for prosper
