Mr.. Automobile Man.

Those little cuts in your
tires may cost you money
and trouble later on.
How do we know you
have cuts in your tires (? We
answer: Did you ever see
a tire that had been run any
distance that didn't have
little cuts in it? We don't
believe anyone did.
These little cuts don't
prevent running the car
until they result in a blow
out, and so most of us neg
lect them TOO LONG.
The little cuts let in dirt,
the dirt works down into
the tire and makes the cut
worse, dirt and water loos-
en- the tread from the fab
ric; a weak spot develops
and then, Bang! a costly re-
pair on a new tire.
While you are waiting
for summer, which is Just
around the corner, we sug-
gest that you let us look
your castings over, which
we will do free of charge,
and if you have them fixed
you will be ALL READY
for the first summer day.
When you want to go out,
you don't want to bother |
about getting tires or any
thing else fixed up.
Remember, a stitch in
time saves nine.

however, did not attempt to show any remedy for them nor did he say they were altogether bad thing since the producers were getting an increased price for their productions. Profes- sional men, he maintained, were prac. tically the only members of society whose incomes had not increased in approximate ratio to the price of com modities. One of the main causes of the high cost of living, according to his talks, is the increased amount of gold coming into the United States and its consequence decrease in value
 When gold is cheap, prices are high
 when gold is high, prices are low.
 "Mr. Bob," a comedy drama in two acts was presented in the Normal school auditorium Tuesday night by the two literary societies. The play was side-splitter from beginning to end. Everyone enjoyed it. The act ors were all excellent. There were no stars. Every actor was better than every other actor. Positively no diff ference between the way McDaniels acted that night and the way he acts all the time. Jack Hamblin was as big fool as ordinarily. Miriam Turn CT maintained her regular standard of cuteness. Genevieve Healy had her natural laugh and used it to good advantage. Mary Meadows was up to her usual deviltry. B. Wien is a typical old maid and Jack Griffin makes good butler. The one great surprise of the evening was the lead ing gentleman, Mir. Bob. This turned out to be very charming and pretty young lady in the person of Miss Healy. Her supposedly masculine gender was one of the main causes of disturbance in the family affairs. Her skill as yachtsman, however, makes us seriously question whether or not she should not have been a boy. Altogether, the play was good. The coaching was good. The actors were good. The scenery was good. The attendance was good. The con- duct of the audience was good. The weather was good. The heating sys- tenn was good. The jokes were good and the applause was good. What in sin else do you want? .

The Senate amendment to the legi- slative appropriation bill, proposed by Republican, and providing that all classes of postmasters shall be put under the civil service, met in- stant opposition from the Democrats in the House when it was presented to that body for action. q believe" profoundly remarked the distingu- ished Democratic chairman of the Appropriations committee, "that the Senate amendment is fraught with great evil to our system of govern ment." If in the use of the word tour" he meant the system of govern ment as established by the Democrat ic party he is undoubtedly correct in his statement. The Democratic ideal of postmaster is one who can be re- lied upon to prostitute the office to his party's demands, carefully distribut- ing it's campaign literature, and care lessly overlooking Republican docu- ments until the day after election.

NAVAJO COPPER COMPANY
 PRESIDENT IN FLAGSTAFF

Mir. E. J!'de Sabla Jr., president of the Navajo Copper Co.,, of New York, accompanied by General Manager Robt. Mitchell who has been east for few weeks, were expected to arrive in town yesterday. The Navajo mines are making a wonderful showing and the officers of the company are get ting more and more enthusiastic, if that is possible, as the work goes on. Since it is not stock proposition, they have not attempted to give the big property any special publicity, but have been going quietly ahead develop ing the vast body of ore. It is prac- tically quarrying proposition and their big trucks have been shutting back and forth on the long haul ever since they arrived here late last fall. At present they are figuring on put ting in eight or ten more trucks and more caterpillar trucks with the pur- pose of shipping at least car load of ore per day.
 It would not be in the least sur prising that railroad would soon be necessary for them to get proper &C., tion on the big ore body.

Contracting Utah Wools

Contracts for nearly eighty per cent of the April clip of Utah wool which, it is estimated will amount to 15,000,000 pounds, have been signed and show prices ranging from 30 to 3S cents a pound. The lowest prices were paid for southern wool and the highest prices for northern wool, but as an average they represent the highest market ever offered for wool in Utah.. In turn sheep men in Idaho and Wyoming, with better grade of wool of longer fibre, are commanding prices from 36 to 40 cents a pound and in some instances Al cents a pound has been contracted for.

 Quite a number of the students at tended the dance given in Marlar's hall by the St. Margaret's Guild Fri day night. All had an enjoyable time but staying up until actually twelve o'clock plays havoc with the regular habits of the campus students.
 Lon M. Hyde has been selected as the alternate to take Coulson's place on the debating team which meets Tempe on their own grounds April 7th. In the try-outs held some time ago, he and Miss Chesney tied for al- ternates. In order to settle the con- troversy they drew lots and the lot fell upon MT. Hyde.
 Mrs. Phelps, of Springerville, in company with her small son, Colter, and daughter, Freddie, was here the first of the week visiting her more aged son, Neal, and daughter, Orma.

 A large crowd of boys and girls gathered themselves in the basement of Morton hall Sunday evening to keep out of the storm. In order to while away time they proceeded to make candy, play games, pull off stunts of various varieties, and other develish things. The fact that the inclemency of the weather prevented the students from doing anything else added to the joy derived from the evenings entertainment. When, at ten o'clock, the merry party. finally dispersed they all confessed that their stomachs were full of good things and their spirits full of joy.
 On account of very severe case of hoarseness which is liable to keep him in bed for some time, Hubert Coulson will be unable to be on the debating team that goes to Tempe, according to an announcement made by Dr. Fronske late last week. This throat trouble is the result of too much measles and the physician thinks he will lose his voice entirely if given any severe strain. Herbert has been working in the debate like good one ever since the try-outs and this sud den misfortune means that he will not only be deprived of his trip to the val ley but will lose the glory which his almost unquestioned winning speech would bring. His colleagues regret the affair. .........
