u. s. FABRIC TIRES STILL GREAT
~ FAvORITES.

The advent of cord construction in
automobile tires has made possible
the manufacture of tires which give
astounding mileages, yet there are
many automobile owners who have
found so great degree of satisfac
ton in some favorite brand of fabric
tire, that they are loath to change
for the, new type. q:
The United States Tire Company
reports sales of it's fabric brands that
show these tires are continually
gaining favor among motorists who
want good tires at moderate initial
cost.
President j. Newton Gum of the
United States Tire Company has re-
ceived this letter from a New Haven
merchant telling why he remains firm
in his allegiance to the Chain"
tread:
Il think 20,346 miles up to date is
set of five of your 35 x a IL Chain
tread tires. They are still on my sew
en- passenger car in serviceable con-
dition, and the car is used every day.
''The full set of five tires was put
on my new car the first week in March
1915. The first of the set went out
of commission April 2, 1918, after
running 16,103 miles. The second
blew out beyond repair the month fol-
lowing. but the remaining three have
been running ever since. | have had
few punctures or blow-outs, owing to
the elasticity and durability of the
tires"

GRANT GRAHAM HOME

Grant Graham arrived here Sun
day, worn and weary from a full
week of going .over the top" at the
Big Rexall meeting in Boston where
1000 of the many thousand Rexall
druggists gathered for gala week.
Deck failed to catch the mermaid on
Glouchester coast but he gave her a
merry chase and brought back her
swim cap" which also bore the Rex
all trade mark In going the rounds
of feast and fun Dock served as the
cracker for the whip" along with
other Rexall druggists. Johnson of
Elkins, was by his side good part
of the time when he was playing
penny ante The big papers of
Boston were "chuck full" of Rexall
"stuff" all week, and it is pretty evil
dent that Rexall products will stand
higher than ever. Dock brought
back number of souvenirs from the
little town of Boston which is a few
sizes larger than our own city of Be-
lington. Among his souvenirs was
the delicious imaginary taste Of the
clam bake which he left with us by
his description. Dock says that the
big Rexail plant in Boston does not
cover the entire coast but at that 1t
is ALP that it claims to be King
over all" drug products.

FAIR PRICE COMMITTEE MEETS

Last Friday night the Fair Price
Committee met at the High School
Building for the purpose of thresh-
ing out the question of legitimate
profits. Those present were: r. M.
Williams and Mr.. Edmond, Junior,
Martin Ice, Webb Hillyard, J.. B.
Moore, H. B. Shinn, G. W. Harris, I.
f. hardwood, L. D. Cook, A. Laz-
arus. In the course of discussion it
soon became evident that the meet
ing was unharmonious and deadlock
ed when some of the members objec-
ted to a retail profit of 10 per cent.
To those who knew that a Is per
cent profit was necessary to tran
sact business so this meeting ad-
journed for two weeks so as to give
the uniformed a chance to investi-
gate business and the legitimate cost
of conducting business. No one be-
lieves in .extortion and we believe ex-
tortjoners and pirates" in business
should be curbed, but the high cost
of living does not begin nor end with
just what goes down the throat, the
adjustment must be general and
along all lines.
The farmer who objects to more
than 10 per cent for retailer should
be content with 10 per cent over
production on meats, eggs, butter and
fruits sunshine, rain and air have
not advanced even though the mod
ern Joshua has turned the clocks
back one hour and put premium
on daylight.

DOGS AMONG SHEEP

their fangs and are invading the
sheep folds with fearful havoc One
small flock of seven was wiped out
with the exception of one, other
fiocks have veen badly crippled also.
The high price of meat makes mutton
too much of luxury for worthless

Charleston, w. Va, Aug. 25.-An-
nouncement has been made by Col.
jackson Arnold, Superintendent of
the Department of Public Safety of
West Virginia, of the organization of
the two companies Of the Depart
ment authorized by the law creating
the Department, and the appointment
of Captain Grover. c. Rippetoe, of
Charleston, and Captain John Esque,
of Huntington. to command the COM
panies. $50.
The. men will be given their pre-,
liminary training at Pickens, Ran
dolph County, where arrangements
have been made for their quarters
and subsistence. Already men have
been accepted in the Department to
fill one company. They have been or
dered to Pickens where their camp
was opened this week. All the men
so far accepted have had service in
the army, navy or marine corps and
have honorable discharges therefrom.
The headquarters of Company A.
will be established in the vicinity of
Clarksburg while Company BIS head
quarters will be in the vicinity of
Huntington. The men will be given
a short course of instruction at Pick
ems and completely QUILTED, after
which they will be given assign
ments in different parts of the state.
Col. Arnold states that it is the
policy of the Department to give the
most friendly cooperation and assist
ance to county and municipal author
tiles. He hopes to have his Depart
ment work with the local authorities
where his men can be of assistance.
The authority of the Department ex
tends throughout the state, and coun-
ty and municipal lines will not inter
fere with their running down VIOLA
tors of the law. Some of the men
will be mounted on horses and some
on motorcycles, while automobiles
win be at company headquarters.
The Chief of the Department has
used great care in the selection of
men for the work While he has no
iron-clad rule in the matter, so far
only former service men have been
accepted. Others are eligible. Men
with military training are given
preference, Col. Arnold says, on ac-
count of the rigid course of training
they have so recently undergone.
Col. Arnold says his Department
is being organized for the benefit of
all the people of the whole state; is
by no means a local organization,
and represents no class. The men
stand for the enforcement of the law,
he says, and only violaters need have
any fear of the Department.
Both men appointed captains have
recently returned from military SER
vice. Capt. Rippetoe served with the
First Division in France, went thru
the hardest fighting of the war and
won the Distinguished Service Cross
and the French Croix de Guerre.
Capt Esque served at various camps
in the United States and was provost
at Camp Sherman for sew
eral months. Both went into service
as lieutenants and won promotion.
