PRICE ADJUSTMENT
AUTOMOBILE TIRES

THE B. f. GOODRICH COMPANY announces
that owing ito the advanced cost of all materials
entering into the construction of it's tires, espe
cially fabric it has readjusted its prices both to
the Consumer and the Trade as of January LIST,
1917.
In making this price revision it has considered
carefully the respective difference between its
products having fabric construction and where
1t is absent. Instead of advancing BOTH cases
and inner tubes, it has given the Consumer and
the Trade the advantage wherever it existed,
based on individual cost of each size, instead of
a line advance irrespective of the factor of in
dividual cost.

Divided In Argentine.

Washington, April 8-Early ell
trance Of several of the South and
Central American nations into the
war against Germany is regarded
here as practically certain.
Brazil, aroused by the sinking OF
her steamship Parana, is expected to
become belligerent this week, and
1t Is assumed that her lead will be
followed promptly by other countries
Reports Of divided opinion In Ar.
gentina have given officials here lit.
tie encouragement to look for aggres.

Active support of the United States
by at least two of the five Central
American republics, and possibly by
four, would not be surprising. Ofic-
ial and unofficial reports that Estrada
Cabrera, president Of Guatemala, is
contemplating seriously break with
Germany have been received.
So long as Mexico's course Is I'M
defined unusual interest Is attached
to the position the Central American
governments, especially that OF
Guatemala, controlling the southern
frontier of Mexico. In the event OF
the development Of an unfriendly sit

Guatemala's role would be far from
unimportant. In Guatemala Eastrada
Cabreara has built up what is regard
ed generally as the most efficient
army in Central America, and with II
he would be in position to lend val

Antipathy between the Guatamalans
and the Mexicans there has existed
fof years.
1t is known that earnest efforts
have been made by coynsellors OF
Cabrera to induce him to enter
promptly into the war. II he does

GEM OPENS TODAY
Popular Playhouse Again Resumes
Showing Pictures After Being
Closed for Several Months
Good Program Today.

The Gem Theater, which was closed
to the public last summer on account
of bankruptcy proceedings, reopens
today under new management,
Messrs. Baughman and Salter of Cir
cleville, Ohio, being the proprietors.
They will show only high class pic
lures.
Since their purchase of the Gem
several weeks ago, the gentlemen
named have made great number Of
changes in the interior arrangement
of the theater. New machines have
been installed, a Wurlitzer organ
placed to furnish music, and other i'm
provements. New exits have been
added and the place made as fireprOof
as possible.
On today Mary Miles Minter will be
seen in the Mutual photoplay, Faith"
This picture will be in five parts.
Mary Miles Minter, the blue-ayed
and blonde little beauty Of the Mu-
tual's star aggregation, is playing for
the first time in the new Kirkwood
play Faith" with her sister, Margaret
Shelby, in the cast.
Margaret is the exact antithesis of
Mary SO far as complexion and gen.
eral coloring are concerned, the for
mer being pronounced brunette.
Little Mary had her chance on the
stage before Margaret did, owing to
curious set of circumstances. They
were looking for a child to appear in
"Cameo Kirby" when it first went
into rehearsal in New York, and Mrs
Shelby thought Margaret would be
about right for the part.
When Margaret was introduced the
stage manager thought her too large
for the part. He was turning away
when he caught sight of Mary.
Ten minutes later Lovely Mary was
rehearsing with the company and
since then she has been one of the
foremost attractions on the American
stage.

EASTER DAY
Appropriately Observed by All Of the
Churches Of Maysville Yesterday.

Easter as an annual dress parade
was a dismal failure yesterday. The
pretty weather of Saturday caused
many Maysvillians to build high hopes
for the Easter day and many Easter
bonnets and dresses and suits were
bought in anticipation Of the big
"show" day.
Butalas, many fond hopes were
blighted. Early in the morning a gen.
tie rain began to fall and short
time later cold wave struck this Sec
ton of the country, turning the rain
into a sleet, later into snow. AS a
result when the slumbering city
awoke the snow was pelting down at
rapid rate. The old clothes were dug
out of the closets and presses and
those who attended the morning
church services had their old gar
ments on.
Easter services were held in all of
the churches of the city, sermons on
the Easter tide being given by the
various pastors at the morning SER

Isn't it possible that the only thing which makes 1t possible for us to per form the daily drudgeries of life Is the hope for better things which blooms in our hearts?
 Hope is romance? Ambition Is TO- mance All the fine. true inspirations of life are romantic. Romance leads to achievement, unless it blossoms in the mind of lazy, shiftless creature who Is incapable of action. The man who leads forlorn hope Is romantic. The hero who gives his life fighting dread disease to which he succumbs, but against which he has insured hu- manity, is romantic. Romance Is the thing which makes 1t worth while for men to sacrifice material comforts and die on strange fields of honor.

Courtesy in the Home,

Why should daily life together de- stroy the mutual consideration and courtesy man and woman show be- fore marriage, which they would con- tinue as mere friends? If husband and wife, no matter how much they love each other, no matter at what close range they live, would strive to grant each other the treatment which ordinary good breeding exacts, would respect one another as individuals, not as household furniture, would foster mutual forbearance and ordinary po- liteness in little things" then the divorce courts would be cheated, chil- dren would suffer fewer violations of their inalienable rights to home and harmony and there would be less cynical complaint of something rot ten in the state of matrimony."-Mary D.

Fascination in Alaskan Life.

There Is fascination about Alas kan life, which, despite it's privations, makes men loath to leave and eager to return. There is no fear of starva- ton nor even of Restitution. The rivers and woods supply salmon and the venison of moose and caribou suf- ficient to meet the wants of all. A hole in the ground makes refrigerator which will keep meat fresh through out the hottest summers, without re- course to pemmican. And, if white man is too lazy to hunt or fish him. self, he can always obtain a living from a squaw and fishwheel. As soon as suitable means of transporta- ton exist, the country should be more crowded with visitors than was Switz- erland before the war, and must also enjoy business prosperity.

FORESTS SURVIVE THE AGES
Flora of Australia Different From That of All Other Countries
 in the World.

One readily understands why the Australian loves his trees. The groves of giant eucalyptus form pictures never forgotten, and the scent of the wattle brings a hemesick feeling like the smell of sage to the Westerner.
 The flora is not only beautiful, 1t Is unique and has no counterpart in other lands, observes the National Geo. graphic Magazine. Of the 10000 species of plants most Of them are purely Australian and are unknown even in New Zealand. The general impression one gets of Australian for ests is their total unlikeliness to any thing seen elsewhere. The great for ests of timber trees are not damp and shaded and all of one species, but are well lighted and filled with other for ests of shorter trees; In places the woods consist of large, widely spaced trees, surrounded only by bunch grass, and even in areas where water is not to be found on the surface for hundreds of square miles true forests of low trees are present.
 Forms which may be recognized as tulip, lily, honeysuckle and fern take on a surprising aspect. They are not garden flowers, but trees, and the land- scape of which they form a part re- minds one of the hypothetical period antedating our own millions of years.
 The trees are indeed those of by- gone age. In America and Europe shadowy forms of fossil leaves of strange plant species are gathered from the rocks and studied with interest ; in Australia many of these ancient trees are living. The impression that one is looking at a landscape which has forever disappeared from other parts of the world Is so vivid that the elms and naples and oaks in some of the city streets strike a jarring note. The transition from Jurassic to modern times is painfully abrupt.
