become longer and consequently small CT in diameter. To equalize this it is necessary to employ a pad; otherwise the strain on the bag is likely to crack it.
 A satisfactory pad can be made from one ply of fabric, twenty inches long and four inches wide. On top of this should be laid two thicknesses of gum one inch gauge. Soapstone the pad well and cure it for seventy minutes in an old casing, using an air bag. A pad made in this way will last a long time.
 Loosening of Tread Repairs
 Tread out repairs are apt to loosen when the area to be repaired if not thoroughly roughened and the over flow of new stock is not removed. Take a piece of emery paper and sand off the repair until it is flush with the tread surface, with no loose edges re- maining.
 Cord Tire Mods
 Owing to the fact that Goodyear cord tires ale larger than other tires sectional repairs should be cured in q mold one size larger than the size of the tire. For example, four-inch tire should be cured in a four and one half-inch mold cavity.
 Utilizing Scrap Fabric
 A good vulcanizing cement may he made from scraps of repair fabric. Keep the clippings free from dirt and when you have an accumulation of several pounds dissolve the friction in nigh test gasoline. Run the scraps through a wringer to extract all of the friction.

Road Work Continues

Work on the Clark county road
continues, but the lack of teams
issa great hinderance. The right
of way was secured by citizens
of this town last week. Work on
the road was begun before this
was done, and for a time il
seemed that the machinery would
be moved to the contract work
above Stanton. This was pre-.
vented by quick action of citi-
zens of this town and along the
road, heartily cooperating and
going down into their pockets
and putting up money TO pay
certain individuals for fencing.
The right-of way was given by
every land owner along the line.
The contractors estimate that
it will take three months 10 com.

Lulbegrud. Ii will be only an

To the People Of Powell and
Adjoining Counties.

Your country and mine is now
actively engaged in the greatest
war the world has ever known.
There can be no doubt that the
countries best able to maintain
their food supplies, will be the
victors in the end. We and our
allies must, for the good of hu.
manity, win this conflict.
The farmers of the United
States must furnish the food sup
plies for ourselves and our allies.
1t will be not only profitable, but
patriotic, to do so.
This bank desires to do its part
lin helping you in this great un
dertaking. We are willing to ex.
tend to you any amount Of cred.
it that your conditions will war.

any worthy man whOneeds cred.
it of this sort, kindly send him

2.-There will be a large crop
of vegetables and fruits, none of
which should be allowed to 20 to
waste, but should be canded or
dried for winter use and for sale
on the market. There will be
great demand for all the excess
that can be produced, and this
county has cannery that will
be glad to purchase every tomato
produced, and not one should be
allowed tn perish The women
on the farms are urged to can all
the vegetables and fruits that
they posi- bly, can.
We believe there will be some
difficulty IN procuring cans and
jars unless steps are taken early
10 secure them. You should let
your merchant know at once the
number that you will need in or
der that he Can get an adequate
supply on hand. This bank will
do Its part in helping secure
sufficient number of beseocon-
tainers for Powell county.
Blu he opinion of the best
experts there is every indication
that this war will not end quick
ly, but will be long drawn out.
FarmSrs should not, therefore,
sacrifice immature animals but
should make them as large as
possible.
Breeding stock should be kept.

our country.
