ABRAHAM LINCOLN
The Saviour of Our Country

TO-DAY and forever let us follow his ex-
L ample-slow to unsheath the sword,
as he was, but after it had been un-
Sheathed in defense of and to uphold great
and undying cause, go firmly on with it to
victorious conclusion. Let us be willing TO
make all sacrifices bravely, face all Difficult
ties faithfully, lend all possible aid cheerfully
and theoretically, that our cause may be
won.
In the darkest hours in the past history
of the United States, in times of deepest grief
he never faltered. The great principles for
which he stood gave him supernatural
courage and faith, and the principles for
which we are making our greatest sacrifices
must have faith, hope and courage like that
of Abraham Lincoln, our most beloved PreSi-

Since the necessity for afording financial relief to
street railway and other public service companies has
become nationwide, Hon. William G. McAdoo, Secre-
ry of the Treasury has taken cognzance of the matter
because of the Importance of protecting the traffic arteries
of the country and safe guarding its industrial life.

Wilson, Mr. McAdoo says:

nectcut by the Public Utility Commission, which per-

the Springfield Republican that t is not an unreason-
able advance but is justified by existing conditions re-
suting from the they affect the cost and selling
price of the compays product. The State Commission
finds that the old rate did not afford sufficient reverue
but points out that the added should be joined

nothing else There be denial of the fact that

IN INSERTING INNER TUBES
Take Care That You Give Bridge Nut
at Base Of Valve Tightening
Twist With Pliers, Ts

Many cases Of tire trouble are due
simply to the fact that the tube has
not been properly inserted. The first
thing to do when putting In tube
is to give the bridge nut at the base
of the valve stem above the metal
of pliers. When the tube is inside
the casing, jar the tire a few times
to seat it firmly. After the tire is
mounted and fully inflated, fasten Sc
curely the rim nut, which works
around the valve stem above the rim.
Care in fitting the tube will save
many q pinch and fiat later on.
