OUT OF HOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.

1t is getting to be long drawn out
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many or
them a few years ago, came to the
country with little more than their
few household effects, probably team
of horses and n cow or two, ana sufii-
cient money to do them for few
months. until they got n start. Hun
dreds of such can be pointed out, who
today have splendid homes, well
equipped farms. the latest machinery

Lake, n. d. He didn't leave there be-
cause the land was poor, or farming
not n success, for all who know that
country are aware that 1t is an excel
lent country. He wanted to expand,
to take advantage of the cheap land
that Western Canada offers. And that
same story has appealed to hundreds
of others who have had Ike success
he signs 1t, too, is:

1909 from DEVILS Lake, North Dakota,

TIRE ABUSE SAID
 ID BE SOURCE 0F
 SAD EXTRAvAGANCE

Saving Dollars on Truck Tires" is the suggestive and practical title of a new series of truck tire conservation bulletins, now being offered by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company, Akron, Ohio, to owners and drivers of motor trucks opertaing on solid tires.
 A rapidly increasing number of pneumatic tire users are coming to ap- preciate the practical benefits of tire care and are making an honest effort to get from the tire all the mileage built into 1t at the factory. But un fortunately, considerable army of mo- tor truck operators has come to regard solid tires as simply so much rubber fastened to the wheel overlooking that solids are built to fill a definite need just as pneumatics are, and therefore subjecting them to abuses that tires were never intended to withstand. So the slaughter of tires goes mer- rily on. and tires that with ordinary care should travel 15,000 miles and more during their lifetime are removed and discarded after a bare 5000 miles of service
 The New Goodyear bulletins point out in definite and positive manner the effects of such tire abuses as over loading, speeding. driving in car tracks and on rough roads, neglected cuts, inn proper use of non skid devices and wheel Irregularities. They come in a set of eight separate bulletins, each treating some particular form of abuse that is costing many miles of tire service.
 They set forth that first of all the tire must be adapted to the conditions under which it must perferm, and show that the driver, after all, is the most important factor in the matter of eb taining satisfactory mileage, next to the tire itself A careful driver can save a big part of his salary fer his | employers by giving his tires proper attention, It depends on his whether tho truck shall take short cut through rough unpaved alley or ge around the block farther on smooth asphalt.
 Special attention is called to the dis- astrous effects of overlooking, which is the most common abuse that tires are subjected to- Every motor truck Is rated at certain capacity by ifs man ufacture generally represented In tons, and when lotded beyond this capacity both tires and truck are overloaded. And, the biggest expense is soon found in increased tire bills.
 The new bulletins contain no sales talk--they are simply designed to help all users of solid tires. no matter what
 make of tires they may be using. The series of eight bulletins may be secured free from any Goodyear service station or; from the factory at Akron, Ohio, | upon request
