Is it any wonder then that
every automobile owner is long,
ing for perfect tire, a tire that
he won't have to think about any
| foftener than he thinks about the
differ entialin the rear axle.
Such a solution hasn't been
found, and all short cuts and
tricks to beat the tire trouble
game have failed.
1t all comes back to quality OF
materials and the way these ma.
terials are built into tire; and
the way this building is done ia
the main thing; that's why we
build tires by hand and do the
building slowly; carefully in.
specting each step before going
to the next.
Nature builds the durable
things slowly; it takes centuries
to build an oak but a banana
tree natures in a few months.
Ardmore tires are built by
hand, exactly and carefully; they
are compact, closely knit togeth-
er and are among tires what the
wiry athletic runner is among
men; no surplus material and
nothing omitted that would add
toughness and strengb. Ard
more tires are fine examples Of
the highly developed thorough
bred, they will "stand the gatf";
in appearance and weight they
give the impression of all
strength and no overweight;
they touch the road lightly on q
narrow, live tread and get away
like racer whose muscles re-
spond to the first message Of
the mind.
Youmay say that's rather
strong talk. But you'd see how
sound if you could watch US
build an Ardmore tire; watch the
human hand lay on each ply of
fabric and rubber with one
thought uppermost and that

Claims Charges False.

B. G. Morton, the man some
patriotic citizens of Prowers
county captured at Holly as ;
dangerous pro- German, was {
Herald caller or the 5th.
When we saw Mr.. Morton wa
headed our way we didn't know
whether to throw up brest works
and defend ourselves, or to en-
deavor to make our escape be
fore being entirely surrounded
by the thanking force.
However, we didn't have time
| to do either before the danger.
GUS pro- German walked into our
ga nctimoneous sanctun. and said
hello, how are your
Guessing our lives individual
~ and collectively were safe, we
took the outstretched hand and
said, I'VE thought those Prowers
fellers had got you put away in
cold storage"
Briefly, Mr.. Morton says the
wise Prowers guys are an infer
nal set of liars, that they locked
him up for two or three days,
and were then too towardly
to prefer any charges against
him and turned him loose.
BE also complains the prov
ers papers proclaimed it from the
house tops when he was arrest
ed, but not one of them proclaim.
ed it even in the basement when
he was turned loose without a
charge against him.
The charge that wasn't made
only with their mouths against
him was for calling the president
Ia liar.
B. G. has been a farmer and a
we'll driller, but is now a Non
partisan organizer, and says that
is why the Prowers patriots
rounded him up.
Instead of making disparaging
remarks about President Wilson,
he says he has always admired
him as The greatest of our presi-
dents, and has always proclaim
ed him as such.

! tivities that are taxing the ener-
gies of our people, there has been
little thought of the fact that we
have state and county elections
on our hands this fall.
Hence, while in other years by
this time candidates were busy
making proselites. this year the
old political tree looks as if it
hadn't found out that the sum-
mer is here.
However, there has been some
talk, but this is the year when
the proselites are hunting the
candidates rather than the candi-
didates hunting the proselites.
For county clerk, the only man
talked of so far that we have
heard is Robert Dickey, formerly
of Rodley, now of Springfield.
He has not talked. he has been
talked.
For Treasurer Lucius McAdam
Announces this week, and is the
only one we have heard mention
ed for the place.
For assessor, those who have
talked and been talked are John
L. Sanders of Lamport, Roy
Winters of Elder. Adam Kicenski
of Richards. These are all good
men, and either of them would
make a good race.
For county superintendent,
three names have been mention
ed, and either of them would
mall e a strong candidate. The
three who have been talked are,
Miss Gartrude johnson, Miss
Hanah Herbert and H. V. Jo-
seph of Maxey. The ladies' are
both well known, and need no in
introduction. Mr.. Joseph has
taught school for many years,
and served in the oklahoma leg
islature.
For sheriff, the only one talk
ed of is the one who ran before
B. J. Clifton.
For commissioner, l.. V.
Campbell of Richards, Fred Col
Inns of Ri C h a rqs, a n d j o e
Luellen of Wentworth haye all
been talked. These are all good
men, and the very strongest man
should be chosen.
The talk OF candidates has been
only casual. The convention is
some distance off, but it's time
candidates are mahng their an.
nouncements.

thought to build uniform
strength into every square inch
Of that Internationally uniform
ity-uniformity!
How important!
Let's take a simple illustration
take two toy balloons, one Of
them rubber, the other Of rub.
ber four times as thick; blow
them up to, let's say a foot in
diameter each-now Dictate and
rub a spot in the thick rubber
until it is just as thin as the 9th.
er; now try to initiate both to foot il
diameter. What happens? You &c,
blowout not because the rubber wa,
thin but because it wasn't uniformly
built.
The saying that chain il only u
strong a. it's weekest link can we'll be
paraphrased into "a tire is only n
strong ~ its weakest SPOT"
A word about the prices of these
tires.
They cost a small fraction more than
the best machine-made tires tus this
additional cost is q very, very low
price to pay for the increased mileage
you get when you buy really high
grade hand made tire.
The finest steel in the bearings of
your car costs more than the cheaper
metals but you are glad to pay the ex-
cess and get the steel.
Apply the same thing to your tires
buy the best-pay little more
and enjoy the best.
We are Masking. by hand, what we
intend shall be the best pneumatic tire
you can buy; nobody buys better ma
terial, nobody employs more skilled
labor. We put our brains. our money,
our reputation, our hopes for a "good
will' for our business into these tires
and having done the very best in all
these things we would be short sighted
il we stopped short Of giving you en-
tire satisfaction. Use Ardmore tires
and you will be satisfied.

You wouldn't hesitate for a
ten seconds in answering the
question. What about IN auto.
mobile gives the most trouble
snd gives that trouble most fre.
quently2"
You'd say "Tires!"
And you'd be right.
Why il this trues
Because Z hollow rubber tire
filed with air has proved to be
the only thing for pleasure cars
and because It is impossible tc
make such q tire that will last >as
long as . solid rubber or iron
tire.
Automobile tires are to the car
what shoes are to the man. II
they are to last and give the
greatest comfort they must be
very carefully made-more-
they must be hand made-built
by hand step by step-each step
being taken under the direction
Of . competent human mind.
Hand built tires are better in
their field than hand made shoes
are in theirs because there are
many things to avoid In tire
building which can be avoided in
hand work but not in machine
work.
You buy shoes at almost any
price; just so you can buy tires at
almost any price and what's
more, one tire looks almost as
good as any other tire. But
tires are't bought to look at; they
are Bought to stand the hardest,
roughest, most grueling ordeals
given to any part of any vehicle
in the world; the iron tires of a
locomotive baye an easy time
compared to what is demanded
of . rubber automobile tire.
