For land around a town to be
worth it's maximum Of value, it
must be near q LIVE town. Land
around a DEAD town is worth
no more than if the town didn't
exist.
And the only way to have q
LIVE TOWN is to have people
living in and around it who do
their trading in it, the merchants
are encouraged to keep better and
more up-to-date stocks; their
goods move more rapidly. The
stores multiply, and all are able
to do their fill of business, employ
hands, and otherwise keep the
money in circulation in town.
These merchants ever and anon
employ mechanics to improve
their places Of business, they en-
ploy men to construct and i'm
prove property, the persons they
employ must spend a part of their
wages in living expenses, and
The merchants PAY TAXES,
they HELP TO MAINTAIN
SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.
Farmers frequently move to
town so that their children may
have the advantages Of good
schools and churches. But these
cannot develop where there is no
commercial life.
1t is worth money in comfort,
convenience and satisfaction to
live comparatively near live
town-or in it. Then why
strangle a town by chasing your
money-its lifeblood-awayf
The business men represented
in these columns can furnish you
any article desired-patronize
them and thus help your town to
grow.

favor and the suuort Of the regular
dealers"
Further, the Court said:
If the plaintiff was not entitled to
the consideration accordeded to, and
received by, regular retail dealers in
the ordinary course Of trade, then to
refuse to deal with them as regular
retail dealers was no restraint of
trade
Again, the Court said that the jury
would have to ask this question, name
ly:
WAS there any necessity for Mr..
Raymond, representing the Goodrich
Company, with its standing In the
trade, to appeal to other tire makers
to join with it in such an agreement
against this corporation? Was there
any benefit to accrue to the Goodrich
Company to do this sort Of thingF'
And the jury decided In favor Of the
defendants.

Dear Doctor:
Just one year ago today l called
upon you in your office suffering with
q severe case Of piles. l had been
suffering for several years. When
called at your office had talk with
Mr.. r. NJ. JoSey, who happened to be
there on this occasion, and he told Inc
wha you had done for him, and l was
convinced that you were the man
wanted to treat me. When talked
with you you assured me that you
could entirely cure me, and I began
the treatment at once. After the
fourth treatment l have never felt the
piles or any sympto mof them, and l
am still pleased with the results.
My advice to any one Is to apply to
you at once, and If they have any
doubt write to some Of those you have
been treated for their opinion, I am
sure that if they will do that they will
have ne occasion to regret it. My piles
were Of twenty years duration, and
during the last three or four years they
pained me more or less every day. I
do hereby authorize you to use my
name for the advantage Of those SIM
ilarly afflicted. am sure anw suffer
er who will 60 to you for this trouble
will get satisfactory results. One year
has passed and I have had no return
Of the disease.
In conclusion, 1 do cheerfully rec
ommend you to those suffering from
piles.
Yours very truly,

Goodrich Wins in United States Dis
triet Court.

The following notice vas mailed
April 10th by The B. +. Goddrica Co.,
Akron Ohio, to Goodrich dealers everj-
where.
Inasmuch as much speculation has
been rife amoung motorists regarding
the praetleability Of ,copsnr;ss !sagass,
and whether theyswoBld - aScc0snixed
by the leading tire makers, this court
decision upholding the attitude Of the
largest companies Is Of wide news in
terest.
Suit of Importance to Dealers
On March 81, 1916, there ended In
the United States District Court, in
Cleveland, Ohio trial which has
lasted for three weeks, and Is Of vital
interest to the dealers throughout the
country.
The suit was one brought by a con-
sumers' league known as the Automo-
bile Cooperative Association of Ameri-
ca, which was organized in New York
in 1905 and went out Of business IN
1911. The suit was against The b. +.
Goodrich Company. The Diamond
Rubber Company, The FirestOne Tire
and Rubber Company, The Republic
Rubber Company and The U. 5. Tire
Company.
The consumers league, the plaintiff,
complained that these companies had
refused to sell tires to it at dealers
prices; that such refusal was the re-
sule of q combined action or conspira-
cy OH the part Of these companies, and
that the result Of such conspiracy had
been to cause this consumers league
to fail in business. The suit was
brought for $3.50, 10000 damages under
the Sherman Antitrust Law.
At the conclusion of the plaintiffs
opening proofs, The Firestone Rubber
Company and The U. S. Tire Company
were, by the direction Of the Court
dropped out Of the case
The fight was continued by the Good
rich, Diamond and Republic Companies.
1t appeared from the evidence there
after taken, consisting OF testimony
Of number of prominent dealers and
Of officers and branch managers OF the
tire companies, that the Goodrich Com
pany had always and consistently re-
fused to sell to clubs, consumers lea
CUES and kindred organizations at dea'
lers' prices, Recognizing that to do SO
would be unfair to, and would under
mine the business of, the legitimate
dealers.
Though the Court, at the conclusion
Of the evidence, decided, and subse-
quently SO charged the jury, that no
damages were proven or could be re-
covered even if the defendants were
guilty under the Sherman Law, the
defendants were unwilling to stop, but
desired to have the propriety OF their
acts apssed upon. The matter was
one of principle to US.
So the case was aargued before
the jury which has now brought In
verdict completely in favor OF the de-
PENDANTS.
The Court, in its charge to the jury
pointed out that the reason stated by
the defendants for not selling to the
plaintiff at dealers prices was that
they were forced to decide between
two alternatives-to deal with the CO.
operative leagues, such as the plain
tiff was assumed to be, and lose the
say we will not deal with the so-ope-
business Of the regular dealers or to
rative leagues and we will keep the
