FEDERAL TIRES
 STAND UP! WITH
 HARDEST USAGE

There arrived in Phoenix Friday, a United States Army automobile mak- ing a test run through the entire west ern section of the country in an en- deavor to ascertain the merit of cer- tain well known makes of tires. This Cadillac, 1914 model four cylinder car, weighing over 4000 pounds has to date completed 2,600 miles on a set of Fed eral cord tires. Upon inspection of the tires at the Overland Arizona compa- ny's salesroom, this company being state distributors for Federal tires, they were found to be without mark. They have never been off the rims since first inflated and were put on the car at the Federal factory after having been made but two days. Not only have all kinds of roads been en- countered, as the car arrived in Phoe- nix via Springerville, but the tires have been driven at varying pressure being pumped to ninety pounds pressure one day and then driven at from 55 to 50 pounds the next.
 Those Federal cord tires are not yet on the market and will not be until after the first of the year but if the wearing quality is the same as those seen at the Overland company they will surely compete for first place in the hearts of Arizona's automobiles

OVERLAND ARIZONA
 COMPANY REPORTS
 BUSINESS ALL ]. K.

Yes, business is goodS says MT. Duffy of the Overland Arizona com pany. "The holiday season in fact is always good for the Overland dealer. but of recent years it is steadily in- creasing. The public at large seems to have reached the realization that Christmas presents to serve its purpose to the fullest extent should be of a lasting nature. Frivolous and nor- useful presents are being thrown into the discard and money is being spent only for the better and more lasting things. This is one of the chief reasons that automobiles play such an i'm portant part in the holiday season. Families as a whole are discontinuing the purchase of a number of small gifts for each other and are Jumping their savings with which to buy an automo- bile which will in a large measure not only be a present of the time but of the whole year through.
 And when it comes right down to the logic of the purchase what could be better or more useful for the family and each member thereof, than mod ern up-to- date automobile?
 By it's use the children may be taken to school, markets are brought to the door, the theater and church are with in reasonable distance, and even though the family reside in a rural community it possesses through an au- tomobile full advantages of city life
 There is no possible article or ma chine that plays such an important part in the life of the average American citizen today as the automobile

lent, in motor car service Is being asked of the owners. During the hoi- day season the question of the distri- button of food and clothing for the needy has been the big question that has faced every community. There has always been plenty to give but only few to deliver the gifts to the needy ones. Investigation work is al- ways necessary on such occasions.
 Motor car owners have a better op- portunity to show their spirit in such a plan than any other group of per sons. Since the motor car is being used more and more as a means to more work and doing it in shorter space of time, this plan can be carried on with little effort. There has al- ways been a lack of organization for just such a work, and with little help this plan can be carried on with much success.
 This plan fits in with the Good Eel low movements endorsed by newspa- pers throughout the country during the holiday season. Experts connected with relief work say that there are thousands of families throughout the country today living below normal health standards because they are daily facing war prices with peace in comes. These are the people owners of automobiles can reach in this work.
 The appeals for contributions by the great war relief organizations have been great and the public has re- sponded literally. The response to other appeals at this time will be in the form of food and clothing and it is here the motor car will come into good use. Motor enthusiasts voted worke.s and planners who are already mapping out the details for distribu- tion of the gifts.

POWERS, SPARE THAT GAS

Powers, spare that gas!
 Touch not single dropi Long years I've toured in class, And 1 would hate to stop. How shall this tumbril go
 Sans gas the tanks dispense? There, Powers, let it flow;
 I'm here in it's defensel That old familiar gas
 Which makes for me to ride Ger hill and dale and pass
 And wouldst thou stem it's tide? Powers, forbid the fact
 Quench not this liquid fire, By gosh! one overt act
 Will summon up my ire! Why, listen, through long days
 Its grateful boons accrue, For it no kinsman pays,
 But they would miss it, too. And I--I know it's dear:
 Is all my dough yet flown?- Forgive this maudlin tear,
 But let the gas alone! My tears speak for thee, friend,
 Clear as thy gleaming self, And shall thy gush suspend
 For sake of paltry pelf? Old gas, the car still speed,
 And, Powers, get thee hence; While engines cry the need,
 I'm here in it's defense

At the start of the present sea son the game of football appeared to be in a sad plight. So many of the college stars of last season had left for the army or had graduated that the football squads everywhere presented a very meager appearance.
 But instead of dealing a death blow to the gridiron sport, as many had feared, the war has given it a greater pep and vigor than it has had for several seasons. Not only have many colleges produced teams of real class in spite of handicaps and small squads, but the army and navy cantonments throughout the country have organized elevens that rival the college teams for speed and

football fan is because he has been able to see many of his old heroes in a new and heroic attitude. Almost every star of prominence within the past five or six years has been seen again this season on the gridiron. As a rule, the football hero drops from sight at the close of his college career. He may choose to reappear in professional football, but to the lover of football, the professional game has always seemed more or less ingiorious. This fall we have seen the best of the old stars on the field again with the camp teams and their service in the army and navy gives them, of course, an even greater claim on our cheers.

 The cantonment teams everywhere have been greeted with all sorts of patriotic cheers and their perform ances have been eagerly attended. Games with college teams and the teams of rival cantonments have given the football season a new inn petus and they have also given the boys at the camps large roll for the purchase of athletic equipment When camp games have not gone to the Red Cross, they have been used to swell the camp athletic funds or to aid some other war charity.

A. J. EARLING RETIRES
AS HEAD OF ROAD

A. j. Earring, president of the Mil
waukee road, announced Wednesday
night in Chicago that H. E. Bryan of
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
had been selected to succeed him. The
announcement Of Mr. Earring was
made just before his departure for the
west with Percy A. Rockefeller, a di-
rector of the railway. Formal action,
it was said, making Mr.. Bryan presi-
dent and Mr.. Earring chairman Of the
board of the Milwaukee road would be
taken at meeting of the directors in
New York the latter part of the month.
Mr.. Earring became president of the
Milwaukee road in 1899, succeeding
Roswell Miller. He has worked himself
up in the railroad business from teleg-
rapher, having entered the Milwaukee
road in that capacity as a boy of IS.
He was born in Richfeld, Wis, Janu-
airy 10, 1S4S. He rose by his own eff
forts, having had no schooling except
that afforded by the district school of
his time
Mr.. Bryan who was born at Gales
burg, ILL.,, in 1865, had only a common
school education and entered railroad
work as a call boy when 16 years old.
He became second vice president Of
the Burlington road in 1910.

JEFFERSON co. DENTISTS
FORM ASSOCIATION HERE

The organization of the Jefferson
County Dental association was effect
ed at meeting held in the city hall
here. DR.. Oscar E. Meyer was elected
president and Dr. E. J. Herman was
named secretary, and DR.. Johnston Of
Fort Atkinson treasurer. A large num-
Der of dentists from Jefferson county
attended the meeting. At present John
son Creek, Jefferson, Fort Atkinson,
Palmyra and Waterloo are represented
in the association with Watertown.
1t is a component of the Wisconsin
State Dental society and was organ
lied for educational purposes The
great strides being now made in den
tai work necessitates the keeping inf
touch with all the latest work done by
the dentists. Individually they could
not do this, but through an association
such as they have organized they will
be able to secure experts of various
lines to demonstrate to them the ad-
vances made in their profession.
Some people have been laboring un-
der the impression that the aim of the
association is to raise the fees for pro-
fesslonal services but such is not the
case. The aim will be to give to pa
tents the latest and best that the
science of dentistry has discovered, at
minimum price consistent with the
cost of living
Another meeting will be held in the
city hall in Watertown on October rs.

FOOTBALL MATERIAL AT
HIGH SCHOOL PROMISING

Football practice was started in
earnest this week at the high school.
Thirty have reported to Coach Thomas
every evening at Washington park,
where he has been putting them
through signal practice, line forma-
ton, scrimmages and tackling the
dummy. Owing to the condition of the
grounds Thursday it was necessary to
hold signal practice in the gym.
Coach Thomas, former Ripon grid
iron star, had charge Of the team last
year and lost but two out of the nine
games played, one to Edgerton, the
state champions, the other to South
Side High, Milwaukee. He has a lot of
new men that look promising for the
team this season and should furnish
material for an eleven as strong as
| that produced last year.
| From the pep and snap shown by all
the candidates a rafting good eleven
will be put on the field.
| Coach Thomas lost four of last years
men through graduation, namely Kehr,
and Henke who played halfback, Day,
center, and Friedman, guard OF last
years team six men are left and with
them as backing, he is certain of a
strong aggregation. Fred Henke, full
back, is captain. Archie, last years
star at end has been given his old po-
sition. Buffmeier, who played end last
year, has been moved to the halfback
position. Kaminski, tackle, is playing
at halfback. Sandrock in the line last
year is trying out for an end. Maerzke
has been shifted from tackle to the
, line. John and William Woodland will
probably qualify for line positions.
| There is lot Of raw material that
shows promise and with a little more
practice Coach Thomas will know de-
finitely just what position the men can
fill. That there are gaps in the lineup
is admitted, but they are being filled
rapidly with material hat shows as
much class as the team of 1916.
The team will probably play North
western college second team a prac-
tice game before the school schedule
is started.
| The first high school game is SEIZED
uled for September 20 when Water
town will meet the Riverside highs of
Milwaukee at Washington park Fol
lowing is the schedule of games so far
completed:
