Goodyear Tires Are
King of Them Al, Says
!. w. ettus, of YOnge Co.

J. ". Pettus became enthusiastic
over Goodyear tires on wednesday.
This Is not to say that he has not
been enthusiastic all along, but in
speaking OF the Goodyear. he said:
We cannot see why Goodyear tires
are not just a little better than any
other tire on the market. To our mind
It Is the best made and most service
able tire on the market today. Last
Sunday afternoon I was OUT at Fort
Bliss TO the band concert. and while
not making any special effort to find
out. but recognizing a Goodyear
wherever I see one. was struck
with the vast number OF these tires
in use Out OF three or four hundred
cars there. I should say that 10 is not
an exaggeration 20 assert that fully
so percent OF these cars were wholly
or in part equipped with Goodyear
tires. This should strike every car
owner very forcibly."

I'VE are keeping up our sales on

continue good. We do not believe
that Il is the intention OF the govern
ment 10 have people to curtail on the
expenditure Of money for things that
are used IN normal times. when such
expenditure is keeping business at
its normal state. Therefore, there
should be no noticeable falling off

TELLS VARIETY
AUTO DRIVERS
Great Care Urged for Be
ginners During Rainy
Season.

A great many people VINO purchase
motor cars take a few lessons and
think they know how 10 drive. Some
Of them in reality never will know
the art OF driving; others Will master
It IN the course OF a few months.
while offers will be year at the
wheel before they can qualify as first
class operators.
There are likewise all styles or
drivers. There Is the over careful
Individual who stops for q street car
that is half a block away. the speed
demon who never gets under IS, the
man who swerves around corners and
burns up his tires and gives the pedes-
TRANS a fright, and the conservative
driver who never takes q chance.
Never Take n Chunce.
Ny first advise 70 all drivers IS
never 10 take a chance. The man
who thinks it IS smart to drive fast,
making fancy turns and quick stops,
is q dangerous person in the commu-
nifty. This man IS not only doing
his car and tires an injustice, but he
is causing discomfort TO every one
who rides with him. The smart Alex
driver has no place on the road said
an expert yesterday.
Some drivers will make you ner-
vOus, while IL is possible 10 ride with
others and never realize that the car
is being driven through traffic or
on a bad road. That means the diff
ference between good and bad driv-
ing.
Courtesy Il Expected.
Courtesy on the road is 20 be de-
sired in every driver. There come
many times with every criver when
he can be n road hog or show cour
tesy to other drivers. This IS es-
peCially true on Sundays when travel
is heavy. OF course by this I do not
mean that a driver should hang back
and always take the worst OF Il. but
it IS possible 10 hold your own and
stiT be courteous.
'One OF the meanest actions OF the
in front OF you after passing 7 have
ness. while others-especiall new
drivers-do not realize what they are
doing.
Get well clear OF the car you are
passing before turning IN
The wet weather IS approaching
and many drivers will experience
their first rainy weather driving.
Some cars skid more than others. Tho
even balance OF the Velie and to
equalization OF the brakes make Il as
free from skidding as Il Is possible
for a car to be.

and anticipate what IS going 70 hap

ANNUAL FIREMEN'S BALL.

r The big dancing event Of the season
will be the annual benefit ball for
the boys of the Manchester Fire de-
partment-the boys who protect your
property against destruction by fire
at their own risk at all hours OF the
Jay and night. The big event will
tnke place at the Armory in Man
chester on Tuesday evening, April
oath, and the proceeds will be devoted
to the firemen's fund for the i'm
proyement of the equipment and in
creasing the efficiency of the depart
ment. Music will be furnished by
Bills orchestra. The floor will be
put in the finest possible shape and
ample facilities for checking wraps,
cts, will be provided. Supper may
be had either at Sramek's or Bow
ems restaurant at moderate prices.
Manchester can righfully boast OF
one of the best volunteer fire COM
panies in the state Of Iowa. 1t is to
the interest of every person owning
property in the city to see to 1t that
the boys have proper equipment to
fight fires. In order to be properly
equipped it takes considerable out
lay of money, and it is the purpose OF
this annual ball to replenish the fire
fund Last year the hose company
had 10 purchase large amount OF
new hose, and some Of the other
departments did not receive as much
of the fire fund as they really needed.
This ball is an opportunity, given
the citizens of Manchester and vicin-
ity to show their appreciation OF
the work of the fire department. The
