HOW TO REPAIR
PNEUMATIC TIRES
OF LARGE TRUCKS
BY Z. r. SHUTZ,
Local Manager for Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company.

Now that so many trucks operating
in every conceivable kind OF service
are rolling on large pneumatic truck
ties, am often asked what is the
most satisfactory method OF repair
ing tires that have suffered tread or
carcass injury.
In the first place. any repair, to
be successful, must actually be worth
at least the amount of money invested
in IL, and repairs on large tires are
naturally more expensive than on
small ones. So the first thing TO be
determined is whether the service
that can reasonably be expected war
rants the outlay OF the expense in
volved.
Small cuts in the tread and the
sidewalks should be promptly re-
paired with tire putty by the truck
driver, to prevent gravel and water
from entering, which would cause en-
largement OF the cut and eventual
separation of the tread from the car
cass. The most dangerous tread cuts
are found in the grooves between the
diamond-shaped blocks OF rubber.
Repairs Necessary.
II the cut is too large to be re.
paired by the use OF tire putty 1t
should be taken to a repair man. The
treatment OF such q repair in a large
pneumatic truck tire is the same
as that used on tires for passenger
cars, except that the large tires are
vulcanized in tread and side-wall
surface, sufficient heat for vulcanIza-
tion cannot be secured in a sectional
mold. II is absolutely essential that
repair on a penumatic truck tire be
nrnnATIV n -. H.
feet job the pot-heater system Is
used, and the repair vulcanized in
open steam.
1t is our aim to build a perfectly
balanced tire-one that delivers its
full service before any particular part
OF the tire gives way, and We. there
fore, put on a tread intended to wear
until the carcass of the tire has out
lived its usefulness. So that when
the tread has worn down pretty well.
it is obvious that good wear has been
obtained.
Don't Retread Tires.
Many motorists are in the habit OF
retreading their pleasure car tires
when conditions are right, but'we do
not recommend the retreading Of
large pneumatic truck tires when
tread separation has developed. In
cases OF premature tread separation
retread will in all probability be
no more successful than the original
tread. Tires that are constructed
properly and used properly should not
develop tread separation. But when
this does develop. the tire should be
run as long as possible-for the car
casS alone is strong enough to hold
up for several hundred miles. The
job of retreading could, of course, be
done, but its economy IS doubtful
Fortunately, our tires seldom fail be-
cause OF this condition.
Continued use in many kinds OF
service in all sections OF the country
has shown that these big tires are
not susceptible to any class Of in
juries that cannot be repaired in a
manner similar to that used in the
repair of tires for passenger cars.
Our pneumatic truck tires are made
in the cord construction, and arc,
therefore. not liable to many OF the
failures that fabric tires are subject :
to. Our experience with these big
tires in actual service confirms our
previous belief in their practicability. 4

AUTO INDUSTRY
RANKS THIRD IN
U.S.'SACTNITIES
ny T. ,. TONER,
General Manager Chalmers Motor
COmnauy.


1t Is common knowledge, even to
the boy in grammar school. that the
railroads are our leading and greatest
industry, But I have found IL shock
ing to many q college graduate to in
form him that the automobile in
dustry ranks third. And equally sur
prising is the same information to the
average man.
This comparative statement means
that while the great railroad struc-
ture has been expanding through
some eighty years and more. the au-
tomobile world in about one-flfth the
elapsed time has autstrIpped every
American industry save steel and the
railroads.

And in these gigantic strides, 1t has
at once become the bread and butter
OF 100000 men, women and children.
directly dependent on its wages To
this add the families of accessory
makers and other lines dependent on
the motor plants, and the result
shows, in round numbers, that 6.000,-
900 people In the United States obtain
their warmth, bread and butter and
clothing from the wages Of the motor
industry.
Well might the far-sighted reader
be concerned when he asks the ques-
ton: "If the automobile business sus-
tains per cent OF our population,
what would become Of them IL any
thing happened to the Industry" Five
million empty mouths is the an
swer.
The wages paid to the employees Of
the automobile and its allied indus
tries total s74S, ,0O0. 900 per year. This
includes $50 automobile factories,
81 IN9N- -
ters, $4,000 dealers. 25, 500 garages and
l3,500 repair shops.
But wages are not the only proof
that the automobile belongs ace high
on the list Of national essentials.
The materials built into the motor
come from every section Of the coun-
try, and in the aggregate amount to
an annual purchase OF three hundred
million dollars per year. This colossal
figure pays for all raw and fabricated
materials. including iron. steel, chemi-
calls. curIed hair, leather, textiles,
fabrics, glass and rubber. The latter
Item, covering tires alone. costs the
automobile factories five hundred mil
lion dollars annually.
Figures Astounding.
The data proving the necessity Of
this great industry to the very life
OF the nation Is ineXhsustible, but the
agures quoted above are sufficient to
awaken an appreciation OF its in
trinsic value.
One thousand dollars Is considered
the average price OF the combined
makes OF touring cars. and for each
thousand dollar check that comes to
Detroit, and other factory centers,
such a large share OF the revenue is

PETITIONS AGAINST HUN
PRESS SIGNED HERE
President Wilson Is Asked to stop the
Circulation OF German Language
Newspapers and Magazines.

Petitions are being circulated in
Maysville by local members of the
American Defense Society urging the
president to forbid the publication of
newspapers and magazines in the Ger
man language during the period of the
war.
Several members of this organza-
ton were out Saturday afternoon and
were meeting with much encourage
ment. No one who was approached
with the petition refused to sign mis-
name to it and it is thought that be-
fore the petition is mailed in to the
national headquarters of the organi-
cation there will be quite long list
of names of Maysville and Mason
county people.
Most every one is opposed to the
circulation of German language news
papers in this country just at this
time and it is felt certain that the
president will act on the matter soon
after the large petitions are presented
to him from citizens in every state in
the union.

THE CONCRETE"
COMING HERE
next SUNDAY
Famous Little Gasoline Boat on Trip
Interest Recruiting in Navy At
tracts Much Attention Here.

There is much interest being taken
that the famous little motor boat
named Concrete" will stop off over
night at this port on her way down
the Ohio, Mississippi and Illinois rlv-
ers from Pittsburgh to Chicago.
Walter N. Dowsey, lumberiack of
Iron River, Mich, wanted a motor
boat. He built it of concrete. And
when the naval recruiting was at its
height in October 1917, and practice
boats we're wanted, Mr. Dowsey pre-
scented his concrete motor boat to the
U. S. Naval Reserve, Chicago.
The Concrete is making history.
She was taken by motor truck during
the severest weather of 1918 from Chi
cago to New York to the National Mo-
tor Boat Show. After the show it was
used to stimulate recruiting in New
York and was exhibited at various
other places in the East. At Wash
ington, n. c., it made practise runs
on the Potomac and had as passen-
gers a number of notable persons who
are more or less interested in helping
solve the shipping problem.
The trip the little boat is now maxi
ing is in interest of Navy Recruiting
and she is carrying with her mem
bers of the navy who while here will
distribute some literature in the in
terest of recruiting.
The Concrete" will reach the
Maysville harbor on next Sunday
evening at 6:35 or thereabout and
will remain at anchor for inspection
of the public until 1870 a. m. Monday

PROBLEM OF
LABOR SOLVED
BY The farmer
Farmers Are Cooperating In Thresh-
Ing Out Their Grain CrOp-Rains
Are Badly Needed All
All Over County.

Threshing has occupied the entire
attention of the farmers of this sec
ton during the past week and during
the six days they have made wonder
full progress in getting their grain Sc
parated from the straw and into ar
ket. Now that the County Federal
Food Administrators has announced
the proper price for wheat in this
market it is expected that there will
be much of the grain rushed to mar
ket during this week.
There has not been enough rain
during the past week for the growing
tobacco crop according to all reports
and in some parts of the county, es-
pccially in the Western part, the crop
is suffering for rain.
The labor problem for Mason coun-
ty has solved itself with little trou-
BILE according to all reports and at
most every threshng in progress in
Mason county this week there have
been more men than were needed to
man the machine and carry on the
work. Never has better cooperation
been seen among the farmers than
was shown this past week in threshng.
The war is accomplishing something
that heretofore has been almost i'm
possible and that is to bring the farm
chs close together. Some are of the
opinion that the Kentucky State Va
Grancy law has also had a big part in
furnishing the farmers with enough
workmen to get through their crops
in good style.
If the same amount of progress is
made on the farms this week that was
made last week the threshing will be
out of the way in as good time as be-
fore the war.
There have been few sales of stock
Or horses reported in Mason county
during the week just ended and no
sales of land.
Corn is looking very well but still
needs rain badly Several days Of
GOOD steady rain this week would be
worth thousands of dollars to the
farmers of Mason and adjoining coun-
Ties and would assure us of good
crops o fall kinds.
