CREDIT FOR SCHOOL BOYS

That the boys who leave school to
look after farm work are entitled to
the same consideration az those who
enlist, is the view of State Superin-
tendent C. II. Lugg, and along that
line he has sent out to the school
officers of the state a letter of recon-
%mendation to local school officers, in
which he recommends, after stating
what is being lone in the way Of grad
uating high school boys who are en-
listing in the army, he says. in regard
to the workers:
while the ranks of productive la
Dor are not organized as are those OF
the military service, they afford a
large opportunity for patriotic service
10 humanity and to u country in his
time Of need. Students of the high
school or pupils in the elementary
grades above twelve years of age who
wish to enlist in the agricultural army
for farm work or gardening may be
given a special examination to test
their ftness,to be admitted to privil-
eyes of this service. providing thei
work for the preceding months of the
year has been satisfactory. If the
special test indicates that there is a
reasonable certainty of their being
able to finish with their class that
year should they remain in the school,
they may be excused from school for
the balance of the term and may re-
ceive their diplomas or certificates or
promotion after August Is, 1917, by
presenting to the proper school author
tiles evidence of having been regular
ly employed at productive labor during
the spring and summer months OF the
year.
County superintendent are author
lied to arrange for such special exam
nations as they deem necessary in
carrying out these suggestions.

EFFICIENT PATRIOTISM

zone Of the greatest dangers that
confront US at this moment is mis-
guided thrift" declares a statement
issued today by S. w. Straus, Presi-
dent of the American Society for
Thrift.
ON our efforts to be particularly
economical. we find ourselves going to
extremes in the opposite direction,
which is just as great a menace as
wastefulness and extravaganza" said
he. zone Of the worst calamities that
could befall our na>Ion at any time
would be to stop the wheels of indus
try, but more especially NOW.
"The point is to d~ifferentiate be-
tween destructive and constructive
thrift. In times or peace or war,
waste is reprehensible, but indiscrim-
mate tight-istedness is worse, because
in such conditions the provident are
made to suffer with the ~improvident.
because the whole nation sudden
" has become conscious of the neces-
sity of thrift, we as individuals should
take care not to defect from their
normal courses the tides of the ma
tion's money that turn the wheels OF
industry. American as a nation is not
in any danger of running short OF
money, but we are threatened with a
food shortage because on us rests the
duty and responsibility of feeding our
allies.
Everyone can distinguish the differ
ence between prudent living and
wastefulness. If a mar buys a suit OF
clothes, a pair of shoes or a hat, his
money goes into legitimate circula-
ton and furnishes uses for capital and
employment for labor.

LARGELY DEPENDENT ON TIRES

Local motorists are giving more at
tenion than ver before to the selec-
ton Of tires, according to A. l.. Bun
day, of Bookings, 3. D., local repre-.
sentative of the Racine Rubber Com
pany, of Racine, Wis. They handle
the famous Racine Country Road tires
exclusively in this territory, and re-
port a volume of Spring business this
year of greater magnitude than ever
before.
"The motor "a owner" he asserts.
"is rapidly coming to realize that the
life of his car and the pleasure he
derives from driving, are largely de-
pendent on tires. This realization,
then is responsible for the greater care
with which motorists now are choos-
ing their tires, and | am pleased to
note the eve increasing proportion of
local car owners who are choosing the
famous Racine Country Road Tires
Racine Country Road Tires" he
points out, ARE the only tires es-
pecially designed and constructed to
meet the severe service reQuiremnts
of country road travel. Country Road
driving, it has been proved, is the
hardest use to which automobile tires
can be subjected. and it has also been
demonstrated that a considerable ma
jority of car owners do more driving
over country roads than over city pave
ments.
"Therefore," he explains, 1.-The RAJ
cine Country Road Tires, scientifically
built to give maximum mileage Over
country roads particularly, are prov
ing a tremendous boon to- motorists,
not only in and around this city but in
all parts Of the United States. This is
~conclusively proven by the eve in
creasing demands for Racine Country
Road Tires made from week to week
on the Racine Rubber Company at
their big manufacturing plant at Ra-
cine, Wisconsin,"
The peculiar tread of Racine Coun-
try Road Tires is said to effectively
do away with danger Of skidding or
side-slipping on country roads or city
pavements. Extra strength of fabric
is assured by the feather edge" meth
cd by which Racine workmen build vi
these tires. Investigation has shown
too, that Racine Tire makers, selected
experts in their highly specialized
field, are the highest paid Of any tire
makers in the world. This fact, the
official explains, is further proof OF
the excellence of Racine Country Road
Tires.
The local distributor points out, too,
that a 5000 mile guarantee covers
every Racine Country Road Tire that
leaves the plant at Racine.
"But local motorists can be certain
these people say, "of big extra divid-
ends of excess mileage far beyond the
guaranteed distance. This is shown
by the experience record of thousands
of motorists right now, in all parts of
the country"
