tho local farm bureau. actively en-
yaged In farming, to serve al di-
rector to assist in conducting the af-

HERE TWO DAYS
Factory Man Will Tell South

One OF the greatest factors In

peace OF mind. II he started on
Journey he was indeed fortunate If
he ever finished e. His troubles
were a fertile field for the comic
supplements and many jokes were
cracked at his expense.
All this IS changed today. Tires
are infinitely more dependable now.
But although tires are being built
with a much higher factor Of safety
and dependability than ever before
and much greater mileage built into
them at the factory. thousands OF
motorists are constantly discarding
tires that have failed 10 reach their

Carrying out this idea, Hagedorn

There IS no question that motor

says Mr.. Hagedorn, so we have Sc
cured this expert TO come TO our
place 10 demonstrate the simple
methods OF tire care that will add
wonderfully to tire mileage. We
have not asked him to make a stock

having as many as so in the parade.
A number of them were decorated
and numerous floats added to the
interest and beauty OF the pageant.
Several bands furnished the musLc.
The necessities of the war brought
home the business OF the motor

at the Marine. the truck began to
receive the recognition it deserved.
