SAVE YOUR WAR TAXES BY
EcoNoMlzlNe ON TIRES

According to Mr.. G. II. Smith, Of
Chicago Diamond Tire Control mana
ger, the motorist, by selecting his tire
equipment and properly caring for it
after he has it, can save a very appre-
ciable amount, which will most proba-
bly, be large enough to cover the aver
age mans war taxes.
This does not mean retrenchment" F"
said Mr. Smith, 1T simply means that
in order to protect himself the motor
list has got to pay more attention to
the way in which he uses, and in many
cases abuses, his tires The fact that
the tire factories are hard put to keep
up with the demand for tires means
that sooner or later the automobile
owner is not going to get tires when
he wants them And for this reason
The Diamond Rubber Company, know
ing the rubber and fabric market and
perhaps having a larger purchasing ca
pacity than any other company in the
country, takes this opportunity Of
warning motorists for their own good
to look to their tires
And | would state that the simplest
way of doing this is for the motorist
to drive his machine up to the nearest
Diamond Tire store and simply ask the
Diamond dealer to look his tires over
and repair any small cuts that he may
find Furthermore, to be absolutely
sure that his tires were o. X, he ought
to have them taken Off every month or
SO and examined for possible stone
bruises which will eventually lead to
bl0wouts. If the repair man catches
a stone bruise when it has only broken
the inside layer of fabric, he can read
lily repair it. But when the break be-
gins to extend through four, five or
six layers OF fabric. it is generally bet
ter to throw the casing away than to
spend enough money to repair IT,
$50, il motorists would make it a
point to drive their cars up to their
tire dealers store once every week they
would find that at the end OF the sea-
son they not only had enjoyed their
motoring better because they had less
tire trouble on the road, but that they
had saved a considerable amount Of
money in comparison to their former
tire equipment"

CADILLAC EIGHT EASILY
FOILS A Willy FARMER
Goes Through MudhoIe Trap Where
Many Cars are MiTed

The crew Of the twenty-four hour
Cadillac Eight, which the Detroit fac,
tory keeps on the road ina continuous
test, had an experience recently which
filled their hearts with delight.
An enterprising farmer near Detroit
was seized with tho idea Of creating
a college.education fund for his boys.
Motorists were to be the unwilling
though helpless contributors The
farmer saw several score of them pass
his place every day.
just around 0 bend in the road was
a yellow clay mudhole. At the curve
he placed "slow down sign, provided
himself with a suitable towing rope
and waited
An approaching automobile would
reduce its speed to three or four
miles an hour turn the bend, slough
down into the mud that reached to the
hub caps, and be done. Then the far.
mer would appear, and for modest
consideration up to s25-w would
have his team pun out the mired ma
chine
One dsy desirable looking car ap-
peared up the road. It was the TWEEN
t5four hour Cadillac but the farmer
diaal know that He drove his team
down through the orchard. to be ready
when help was needed
The Cadillac slowed down AZ the
sign, entered the yellow splotch in tho
road sank TO the hubs. as per schedule.
But it didn't stop It merely hesitated,
moved on through the mud TO solid
ground, and was gone about It's busi-
ness The farmer slowly drove bis
Percherons back to the barn.

Destruction by Germans Was
Done Under Organized Plan
(By Henry Wood, United Press Staff
Correspondent.)

(By Henry Wood, United Press Staff
Correspondent)
with the French Armies, May l2.-
(By mail) Copies Of official orders,
as well as other documents relative
to the systematic destruction Of the
towns, farms and orchards OF the
French territory occupied by the Ger
mans, are now being found in large
numbers on the German prisoners TAX
en- along the Aisne and in the Cham
payne.
All the genius for minuteness Of de-
tail, organization and thoroughness
which has ever been the boast Of the
German people, appears to have been
drawn upon to the fullest extent in the
preparation and execution Of this de
struction.
Following arc the extracts from
these orders
THE last grand destruction in Gre
villers, Beifvillers, Aubin and Ayesnes
will begin at X plus 2 o'clock TO COW

ders OF each sector will furnish two

"The destruction Of Favreuil 3eug-

Somewhat similar orders perfected
in every detail, are then given for the
destruction Of Louveral Demicourt
and Boursies. Special instructions for
the destruction OF wells read as fol-
lows
"The destruction Of ALL wells is inn

Of the position b 3 must not be de-

OUR SACRIFICES.

Our sacrifices in the war are beginning. We

Thus we sacrifice our W needs to the
needs of our allies. Every shipload of food ship

sufficient to 20 around. Card systems and a dc
tator are in prospect, and are sure to come II III
spite of continued shortage Of food in our country,
we insist on shipping part Of our rneagre supply
abroad.
Another sacrifice is in money. We are the
richest nation on earth, and all that; but the tact
is that a dollar doesn't buy any more than 40
cents bought a decade ago. And measured py
what a dollar won't buy, we are poorer than q
decade AGO. because we haven't twice as much
money a. we had then and our per capita wealth
is not much greater. y,
We have a tendency Of measuring our wealth
too much by contemplating increased value. A
farm that ten years ago was worth $4,000 may
nov be worth $4,000; but it is.the same farm, the
same land. the same production If not less
coming from it's soil. The man owning the farm
Imay consider himself $4,000 richer; but the
increased wealth doesn't produce more.
Our sacrifices will also be in the lifeblood OF our
hest young men; and that's the worst sacrifice OF
all.
