~ OF tires is now thoroughly awake.
The real secret of tire durability and
the comfort a particular make affords
is a matter of how the materials are
prepared and the method of construc-

In the connection noted, too much
stress cannot be laid on the facts that

handling and making mechanical rub
Der goods for more than thirty years
during which period the possibilities
of development OF the natural proper
ties Of rubber have been the subject
OF constant study and experiment.
When the Quaker city Rubber Conn
pany turned its attention to the tire
business. more than six years ago. the
fund of knowledge concerning rubber
was Il foundation on which the success
of Quaker tires has since been so solid
ly built and the basis of the develop
ment of an exclusive process of pre-
pairing and treating rubber especially

The opening of our public
schools on Monday was of more
than ordinary interest. The pu-
pills were all assembled in the
auditorium and after singing and
reading of the scriptures, Geo.
A. Harris, president of the
school board made an address to
the pupils in which he impressed
them with the necessity of the
school board looking after the
school property. He outlined the
duty of the teacher, janitor and
pupils. He asked the pupils to
support the teachers and prom
ised the cooperation of tn e
school board in every way possi-
bic.
County Superintendent Thom-
as gave a very instructive talk
and emphasized the fact that if
the pupils failed in examination
next spring they would have nc
one to blame but themselves.
He offered his assistance in every
way possible and invited the pu-
pills to visit him when they need
ed advice.
We are glad to note that the
school board and superintendent
are taking a deep interest in the
success Of our schools.
Prof. Smith also spoke to the
pupils in a body. 1t is the duty
of the patrons to cooperate with
the teachers and directors to
make this one of the most sue
cessful terms.
