LOOK AT INSYDE TYRES!
INSYDE TYRES ANSWER
THE TIRE QUESTION

No more trouble from punctures
and blow-outs. Eliminate 80 per
cent of all punctures. adds from looo
to 5000 miles to the life of casins
Insyde Tyres save their small cos'
in a short time and may be used over
and over again in several caslngs'
Insyde Tyres are made of tough run-
lber and tough fabria vulcanized TO-
gether over tire moulds.
Most people throw away half OF
the mileage that is in their tire cas-
ings. A stone-bruise results in a
blowout and that is the end Of the
tire. Insyde Tyres prevent these
b1ow-outs and make the tire casing
wear-out instead of blowout.
Insyde Tyres are different and bet
ter than any other article Of a SINH
lar nature. Insyde Tyres have been
tested in Newberry in a casing with
a 2 in. hole in side of casing WITH
Insyde Tyre exposed. Tire has run
over 500 miles in this condition over
country roads without puncture or
blowout This tire ras already run
$500 miles and it looks good for an
other $500 miles since an Insyde
Tyre is being. used.

PRODUCTION OF soAPsToNE

In the production of soapstone the United States ranks f1rst among all countries, and Virginia produces about twenty times as much as the four oth- CT producing states. Maryland, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Vermont The waste from breakage in quarry ing, saving into slabs, manufacturing and final transportation is so great as to render success in the industry a matter of skillful manipulation The value of the stone is in large measure pfoportionable to the work done upon 1t. In the rough it is valued at g or less a ton, but when sawed into slabs it's value is increased to about $15 and when made into laundry tubs 1t may attain value of about $50 ton. The production, of soapstone and tale in the United States is steadily in creasing, according to the United States Geological Survey. Department of the Interior. In 1900 it was 27,943 short tons, in 1910 it was 150,716 tons and in 1915 it was 1ss.ss1 short tons. Richmond Virginian.

 In compliance with overtures from local church associations and in the belief that in such action the council expresses the mind and spirit of it's people. the federal council of the Church of Christ in America earnest ly recommends that Sunday, Feb.

 In offering our heartfelt prayers for all the peoples engaged in war, moved by their sufferings to deepened sym pathy and compassion, remembering that with some of these governments grave contentious have arisen, and fin continuing our petitions for peace and righteousness among the nations, we shall be fulfilling the command of our common Lord and Master.
 Above all. may we search our own hearts, letting all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and fruit of the spirit may abound, which is love, peace, long-suHer1ng, faith fulness and se1f-control. and that as Q nation we may ever be found speak ing the truth. but, ever speaking the truth in love.

FINAL VOTE IN HOUSE
 ON NAVAL BILL TODAY
$365, ,ooO, GOO is Needed to Meet the In-
 ternationaI Crisis.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Consid of the annual naval bill, appropriating about S365, 900, 900, to continue the building program and carrying various emergency provisions requested by the administration to meet the interna- tionaI crisis, virtually was completed in the house today and the bill will be brought to a final vote tomorrow.
 Under a special rule an administra- tion amendment giving authority to take over private shipbuilding plants in time of stress was adopted and the construction authorization for the com- ing year as agreed on in committee was approved after various amendments to enlarge and curtail 1t had been voted down. The section authorizes one bat tie cruiser three battleships. eighteen submarines and twenty vessels of other types.
 Only two amendments remained to be disposed of when the house adjourn ed and they will be voted on at the start of tomorrow's session. They are the proposals for the $12, ,000, ,00O addi- tional appropriation to fit navy yards for construction and for an appropria- ton of $1,000,000 to purchase basic patents of aircraft. Both were recom- mended by Secretary Daniels and are expected to pass.
 Before the amendment providing for taking over private plants was adopt ed the house struck out a specific au- thorization for suspending eight hour labor regulations in emergency. The provision was rejected on tie ground that navy officials already have that authority.

SHORTAGE OF GOLF SHAFTS.

Much has been written lately con corning the great shortage of good hickory in this country, and the chances of the golfers of the land be-
 ing forced to play the game with shafts which were not good and firm. The facts of the matter are these: the great growth of golf and the surpris- ing numbers of players who demand nothing but the best in the way of shafts has caught many of the shaft manufacturers with a scanty supply on hand, scanty when the amount above the usual quantity desired now is considered. The result has been a scarcity in the best grade of shafts which may continue for a twelve month, but not a moment after that There is enough hickory in the coun- try and of the best grade which will last golfers for the next fifty years and longer, but it will take another year before that which is being left to ripen, or season rather, will be put on the market. Nowadays a golfer looks more to the shape of the head than to the grain of the shaft, therefore, fin your favorfte club do not put 1t to undue severe tests until the champion ships are over.-Golf Illustrated.
