When a Hero Marches Away From
Job and Returns Without Job

I KNOW a boy.
WHO HAD a good Job.
TWO YEARS ago.
AND HIS government came.
AND TOOK him away.
FROM WHERE he worked.
AND SENT him to camp
AND KEPT him there.
FOR THREE or four months
AND WORKED him hard.
AND A day came along
WHEN THEY took him away.
TO A waiting ship.
AND PUT him aboard
WITH NEVER a chance.
TO SAY goodby.
AND he sailed the sea
AND LEFT the. ship.
FOR ANOTHER camp.
AND WAS drilled some more.
AND WORKED some more
AND ANOTHER day came.
AND HE marched away.
WHERE He heard great guns,
AND WAITED there.
TILL A fateful night.
WHEN THE order came.
THAT SENT him out.
AND INTO the night
As An engine OF death
OR A victim OF death.
AND THERE he stayed
AND WINTER came.
WITH ITS winter rains.
AND sPRIXGTIslE came.
AND SUMNER came.
AND ALL the time

AND THE great war ceased
AND ANOTHER day.
AND HE marched again.
TO A waiting ship.
THAT CARRIED him back.
TO HIS native land
AND THE Goddess Of Liberty
SMILED ON him.
AND WHISTLES screamed
AND THE POpglaee eheered
AND THEY held him UP.
As A hero returned
AND THEN forgot.
AND a day ago.
J MET this boy.

The first calls for having stored

hold, feed in some Of the old papers
between the tires and the mud. Usu-
ally only few will have to be work

to grip and the car start forward.
This method of handling difficult

such a contingency.

such contingency.
Here is the other method by the Unit
ed States Tire Company: Put the
car in low, and if you cannot feed
the gas with your foot evenly, so
that the wheels will revolve slowly,
put your emergency brake on. Do
not put it on so that the wheels will
not revolve at all, but tightly enough
to keep them from revolving rapidly.
With the wheels turning slowly, the
maximum pull is delivered to them
by having the car in low gear, and so
long as they turn slowly they. can
get the benefit of the tremendous pow
err.
It is not always wise to fill the
hole with stones or bricks, for their
rough edges are hard on tires. Small
branches of trees are better, as they
offer much better tractive space.
Should this method fail, quite often
a slight push that would not much
more than move baby carriage will
furnish just the added amount of
power necessary to get the car going.

Laughter Adds to Attractiveness

Not only does laughter keep the
blood flowing rapidly but It also keeps
the spirit light, buoyant and carefree.
This means that you are happy and
gay, and all this reflects itself in your
eyes and face. Good cheer makes
your eyes sparkle and your face ra-
diant. and altogether you are not only
healthier, happier individual, but
also more beautiful person as a re-

able to bring radiance and cheerful
ness into the lives of others as well as
into your own.

Need 900, 900 Trucks.

1T is estimated that the farmers
of America will absorb 1000, 900
motor trucks in the next 10 years
says George ID. WiIcox, of the Com
merce Motor Car Company. And
there is every reason to believe this
statement for the next few years will
see a big development in the high
ways of the country. The truck will
be more responsible for good highways
than even the passenger csr has been.
The farmer has been educated to
the value of the passenger car. Sta
tistics show that 73 1-5 per cent, of
the cars on the farm were bought as
a necessary part of the farm equip
menl; "a 2-5 per cent. bought their
cars for both business and pleasure
while the ratio for pleasure only
among the farmers is 2 2-5 per cent.

Cost OF Strikes.

Washington, July 14.-An cpl
demic of strikes and lockouts, spread
ing through many sections of the
country, is costing losses nearing the
81 ZOO, 100000 mark.
Riots, precipitated in many of the
strikes, already have resulted in pro-
perty losses approximating millions.
Government reports show that an
average of so, 900 men are away from
their benches every week as a result
of labor troubles. The direct loss in
wages to strikers alone thus now ap-
proximates the total of 100000
monthly, reports indicate.
The indirect loss comes from the
purse of every person in the United
States, officials say. The decreace in
production is staggering, involving
loss of more than 10000, 600 working
hours monthly.

35,OOO,OO0 Tires Neeeed.

A. w. SEM sales manager OF the
Gordon Tire and Rubber Company OF
Canton, Ohio, recently declared that
there are six and one-quarter million
cars in use requiring at least four tires
per car per season, or over &c, 600, 0W
tires for single year. A millionpew
cars coming into use this year, each
car equipped with at least four new
tires, makes total minimum mar
ket for not less than 35, 900, 900 tires
per season.
DO you wonder why new tire
companies spring up like mushrooms
in mad attempt to gather the rain
bow profits SO apparent to the out
sider?' continued Mr.. SEM.
There are probably over 300 new
companies starting in various parts
of United States this year, with over
$50 already in existence. making
brands and brands of tires.
"A tire factory can be built in
short order, but it is an exact science
to build a good tire-one that will
give good service, stand up under the
hardest kind of usage and give the
consumer general all around satisfac-
ton.
In an industry like the tire in
dustry, where the expert chemist is a
necessity to the proper frictioning of
fabrics and compounding of treads,
where the practical, experienced,
rubber construction, engineer is in
dispensable, haste is waste and moth :
ing but long apprenticeship of careful
and experimental manufacture and
exhaustive tests will determine the
quality of the product.

President Gets Busy.
Saves Daylight Saving Low
By Vet0ing Agricultural Bill.

Last Saturday President Wilson
went to the rescue of the Daylight
Saving law using his veto power in
an effort to save it from repeal and
save the country from the economic
loss which would result if that meas
ure should be stricken from the stat
ute books.
The Agricultural Appropriation
bill carrying the daylight repeater
was returned to the House of Rep
resentatives with the disapproval of
the President and with brief but
an emphatic statement that the action
of Congress in dealing with the day
light saving was so serious a blunder
that he assumed the responsibility of
holding up the whole order to brin g
about reconsideration of the question
At the same time the President
vetoed the Sundry Civil Appropria-
ton bill because it works what in his
judgment is grave injustice to thou
sands of disabled soldiers, sailors and
marines who have been promised
training at the hands of
the Federal Government.
