NJ WANT TO KNOW.

ton is 800. That makes a total of $50, 900 gathered in
that one corner of the state. OF that $50, 900 the corpo-
ration which receives the money is not obliged by con-
tract, agreement or stipulation to devote more than
$4,000 to the purposes of the store. and there is no stipu.
lation as to the manner iD~which even that sum shall be
handled. The corporation may put in at Kenmare Va

it may carry as many or as few lines of merchandise as
the three directors at the corporation headquarters think
proper. The other $4,000 they may use as they see fit.
There are absolutely no restrictions. A very neat little
stunt would be to use a part of the money to send a rot
Of organizers to California or Florida to carry democ-
racy to the people of those states during our winter
months. Organization work in the South would be quite
pleasant at this time Of the year, in spite Of the occa-

at a salary Of, say, $500 a month, might carry democracy
able an organizer to have a pleasant time in. a quiet,
modest way. That would be quite permissible under the
agreement which the farmer signs when he pays his

1t is quite natural that the farmers should want to

in no hurry, to tell them. He has too good a thing as
it is.

|5-TON TRUCK ENGINE
 RUNS 21-DAY STRETCH
 WITHOUT A STOP
Accident Is Cause of What Is Claimed to Be New Nonstop Record
 for Season

| There was created recently at the yards of the international 6hipbuild- ing corporation a motor truck record so unusual that it will be certain to at- tract national and international atten- due to its unusual nature, and also to the successful continuation of the feat undertaken At the outset no record was intended, but that one was made Is now a matter of history, and the method of the making of this record is intensely interesting.
 Acason motor trucks of large size, with many trailers, are in steady use in rush. ing the work at Hog Island. Every truck is of value extraordinary in car rying on the construction work of the great shipbuilding plant. Acason trucks of five tons capacity. pulling four trail- CTS each of five tons capacity. are no unusual sight It was one of these five ton Reasons that became partially dis abled through the breaking of a start Ing crank. Prompt telegrams were sent tho factory at Detroit, requesting that "a new crank be rushed The truck was kept running, not only day times. but | eAASu6A sAo ih6HtS aWaltlH& the 0cilV- cry of this crank
 Three telegrams sent the company were all given prompt attention, but delays m the express companies and the de- sire to keep the truck in continuous use caused the motor to be run a long time. Then it was that 1t was decided to keep that motor going and to try to cover 6oo hours without stopping. This was dono successfully and the record of the Acason five-ton truck stands today at 2l days, or a total of 504 continuous hours of operation without a hitch. As the truck during working hours was hauling four trailers much of the time. and pulling total of 1 tons without trouble, this is considered an excellent record. The motor of the Acason truck is draft horse among engines. This is one of the claims of the company It Is essentially truck motnA

MANY BARGAINS AT
 THE ATLAS TIRE CO.

Hugh Going. manager of the Atlas Tire company, at 42s South Twentieth street stated that he had just received several lots of new tires, and that they would be sold at prices that would sur prise automobile owners. There are sev- eral makes of high-grade tires just from the factory to be offered at almost half fhe reeular price and a considerable amount can he saved by placing orders before they are exhausted. The Atlas tire advertisement in this section to- day will give one an idea of the low prices at which high-grade tires may be purchased. Nearly all the popular makes are represented and no difficulty in se- lecting the make of tires desired will be eneountered.

MOTORISTS ENTER ! THRIFT MOVEMENT
 IN BIRMINGHAM
Excellent Advice Is Given by Tire Expert on Use and Abuse of
 Tires

''The thrift movement that is sweep ing the country at the present time,' Y said a local Firestone dealer yesterday, lis having 8 fine influence on the motor car and tire business, in my opinion. I'll. s. Firestone, president of the Fire stone Tire and Rubber company has long believed that every one can save money
 on tires if he observes more precautions in driving his car. He feels that the careless driving which injures tires and leads to their being punctured or blown out early in their history can be stopped | in a large measure if people better un- derstood tires.
 l This propaganda by MT. Frestone has resulted in moving pictures being shown ] in thousands of cities in the country in co operation with the chiefs of police

CARE OF TIRES

Quick starts and stops are not only dangerous to the lives and limbs of the occupants of the car and pedestrians, but are terribly in- furious to tires.
 People are learning nowadays to drive carefully. to keep out of street car tracks, to avoid rubbing tires against curbs In other words, they exercise the discretion and judg- ment in handling their cars that they would in any other part of their liv- ing. And this idea is producing divi- dends, not only in greater safety, but in remarkable saving in tires and car upkeep.
 Regular Firestone customers have lons sures them most miles per dollar But even they did not understand just what has been put into Firestone tires in ma terial and construction which produces this result. I am busy every day now showing F'irestone cross sections. Core and fabric, to Firestone users and tt dozens of other car owners, who up tt this time have never investigated tire construction at all.
 "The Firestone special reinforcement places the bending point where it shoule be. The added measure of rubber in thu Firestone cushion layer and the thicker tougher tread-all these are interestini car owners as they study methods o reducing costs.
