GRAPHITE |S BEST
 FUR SAVING RUBBER

Two inner tubes; one of them with graphite vulcanized into its surface, in the regular way, and the other without graphite coating, were recently sub jected to a severe test at the Savage Tire plant, at San Diego, Cal. Both tubes were exposed side by side. under exactly the same conditions. to the sun and weather for a period of thirty days. At the end of the test, the tube with the graphite coating showed very little sign of deterioration: the other was practically destroyed. The graph ite coated tube showed few checks. and was just as elastic as it ever was-the un -graphited one had lost all of its life and elasticity It would not hold air at all, and was filled with cracks, in fact, II was just in the condition that any piece of rubber, exposed for thirty days, might be expected to be in.
 This test is striking proof of the claims that are made for Savage Grafi- nite Tubes. The Savage tube is cov- cred with graphite, which is vulcanized | into it's surface. It is, therefore, prac- tically light and weather proof and be- cause of the protection of the graphite will deteriorate less from these causes than any other inner tube manufac- tured.
 The graphite coating on the Savage tube also prevents sticking and fric- tion and eliminates the necessity fol scapstone or any other tire powder | The Savage people claim that theil process is the biggest advance in tube making in years. The excellent servic, that the Savage Grafinite Tubes art givin~ to motorists seems to bear ou
 their claims.

FURTHER LIGHT

Republican A. F. Leased Wre]
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-Further light on Japan's policy toward China and the difference between the attitude of the former Japanese cabinet and that of the new ministry is shown by dis patches received by the state depart ment today from the American embassy at Tokio. quoting from the speech of Foreign Minister Motono at the con- vening last Tuesday of the parliament shortly afterwards dissolved because of ! it's opposition to the cabinet The en- bassy also cabled that portion of the minister's speech expressing gratifica- tion at the increased friendly feeling between Japan and the United States, the substance of which already had reached this country in press dis patches.
 Speaking of China, Viscount Motono declared that Japan had a special in- terest in South Manchuria and eastern Inner Mongolia which it was necessary to safeguard by treaties and arrange ments, adding that unless these obliga- tions were observed, .it is absolutely impossible to expect friendship between Japan and China" He frankly asserted however, that interference with China $ internal policies by the former cabinet l had brought about a bad situation | Wnlcn IL was necessary TOT the sake or both Japan and China to sweep away.
 T do not hesitate to declare here," said the minister, that the present cabinet made declaration positively not to accept such policy The inn perial government sincerely and ear nestly desires friendly relation with China. The imperial government in tends to exert it's utmost efforts in or der to make China understand our sin cerity, but China will have to decide for herself whether she shall rely on the imperial government or not. The inn perial government positively declares that it has no intention of specially
 supporting certain parties in China.
 The imperial government desires to
 have friendly relations with China her
 self it is not her idea to have friendly
 tical parties.
 relations with certain restricted poli-
 Tn short, the thing most essential for
 the imperial government is that China
 shall smoothly progress to a state o1 civilization. That which causes the i'm perial government the most linbearable anxiety is that China might fall into q state of disintegration as a result o1 the uninterrupted continuation of in ternal disturbances"

Or something light and lairy-likc (but
the French word looks better in print,
meaning something that could almost
fly of itself.) OF course the brides
maids were also suitably attired and
the groom's apparel needs no descrip-
tion. All present wore wreaths Il
mean the smiles that wrcathcd their
faccs.) And the company celebrated
the joyful occasion in the good cid
Norwegian fashion.

Dear Sir MayI he permitted to take
up some of your space in order to COR
rect certain statements made in letter,
peace and Harmony How Not to Get

Mr.. Parkes is correct when he states
ut is not necessary to answer for those
present.
1t is also true that the law govern
ing Incorporation was set forth by this
gentleman /. e., as he sees it.
When the gentleman states "that
the letters read were so plainly mis-
understood or misreas" he makes a
deliberate mistatcment OF facts, MS the
letters were read verbatim: and while
it is true that these letters are only
expressions Of opinion, as he states,
the fact remains that they are the
opinions of men in active life, men at
the head of our state and county gov
crnments, men who should be compe.
tent to judge such matters.
Mr.. and Mrs. Voter, whose opinion
do you prefer, that of the gentleman
on the hill or that of the state OIL
cialsY
My learned friend then goes on to
state. I'm response the chairman read
from a tax bill, ETC. Is it not true,
Mr.. Parkcs, that your attention was
called to the fact that each town men
TONED by you had railroads and fac
tories which were being taxed for the
upkeep of the town?
The gentleman's argument as to who
is taxpayer is known to every ten
ycar-old boy.
Is it not 4 fact, Mr.. ParlScs, that
you and the property you represent
are what you call Indirect taxpayers?
| call them non-taxpayers.
Is 1t not n fact, Mr. Parkcs, that the
property you represent has not paid
any taxes for the last three years: that
there is now owing the county the sum
of ssss.5o: and that you, Mr.. Parkes,
or your agents, found it necessary to
get restraining order to stop the
sheriff of this county from forcclosing
the property, and that this case is now
pending in our courts?
If the gentleman on the hill has
such valuable property on his hands
as he would have us believe the water
system to be, why so anxious to get
rid of it?
Does the gentleman threaten Burton
when he goes on to state: "If they get
tired of doing so they only have to stop
operating tthe water SYSTEM.
Does the gentleman propose to hold
this as club to force the opposition
into line? If such be the case, de-
sire to state that there is a branch of
our government which will quickly
start the water again running down
