| Cedar Rapids Gazette: Iowa's roads
are not losing wars today, but they
are costing the state dearly in other
ways. They are costing more money
every year than the price of putting

are doing the loudest complaining.

This legislature seems to be doing its

Davenport Democrat: We notice
that the Ottumwa Courier, staunch
republican paper, declares that both
Harding and Havner are liabilities that
the party would be well rid of; and
/ this seems to be the growing senti-
ment of the state. A good many peo-
pie would agree that the party this
year is long on liabilities and short
on assets. 1t will have to unload a
good deal OF liability before 1t can
come before the people of the state
again and ask vote Of confidence.

time should ever come when he

cause OF the loss of + his voice.
Some one said to me. Bill, what
would you do if you'd lose your
voice and couldn't preach? 1 said,

The Advantages OF
Linen Over Cotton

Linen has many advantages over
cotton. especially for the table.
Probably every woman knows how
'frowsy'' and gray-looking cotton
becomes with wear. Good linen,
on the contrary. seems to become
more dazzling white with use, and,
with intelligent laundry care its
surface remains indefinitely
smooth and lustrous.
The reason why Linen remains
smooth OF surface, and cotton De
comes fuzzy. is a matter Of micro
scopic structure, the length OF the
flax fibre being long and smooth,
while the cotton lets loose an in
finite number of infinitesimal ends
thus creating the appearance call
ed fuzzy" All of these little ends
sticking out along the cotton fibre
become gray by the constant accu-
mutation of dust. etc. with the re-
suit that eventually the entire fab
ric assumes a gray and dingy ap-
pearance that refuses to become
white again.
Flax fibre, which is the vegeta-
BILE beginning of Linen, has long
uninterrupted strand that does not
accumulate soil very rapidly. Lin
en- in the fibre is slightly heavier
than cotton. while its strength is
double, and its life intellectually
longer.
And Linen is always the aristo-
crat of covers for the dining room r
table. Good Linens are not much
more expensive today than good
cottons, and they are infinitely
preferable, not only because OF
their appearance but because they
are long wearing. Their economy
Is in their service.

TIRES WEEKLY
Reason Why Dealers Guar

Customers Check Up.

While much depends on the mate
rial and construction of tires, it IS
equally true that care adds greatly to
the number of miles. Many car own
ers have not yet learned proper care
of tires to get the best results.
Inspection of the tread of each tire
once a week should not be neglected, %
states D. c. Booth. of the Quick Tire
Service, Inc. Injuries and cuts
caused by careless driving are the be-
ginning Of the end if not attended to
promptly. Sand and gravel are enc
mics of rubber and precaution should
be taken to keep them from being

look as though it amounted to much
on the outside, but it certainly did
hurt a heap on the inside. tire is
often injured in the same way
For instance, the tire hits an OBJ
struction, such as a car track or a
large stone, with such force that the
inner fabric is bruised and weakened,
perhaps torn, though on the outside
of the casing there is little If any
thing to show that it has been in
jured. Eventually it gives away
1t is for the reasons mentioned
that dealers can afford to guarante zee
a thousand additional miles If the
car owner will bring his tire IN Tor

knows. then, that care is being taken
and care to a tire is always worth at
least an additional thousand miles
