When representative of the Inde-
pendent observed an immense truck
tire in the display window of the
Firestone Tire Co. on f. Central ave-
nue., he took it for granted that said
tire was for advertising purposes only
and not for actual use What was his
surprise, however, to learn from Lo-
cal Manager John Ward that tires of
such construction are in common use
in the east, being used on trucks en-
gagged in heavy work He said that
these tires had already demonstrated
their practicability and had proved
their economy, however staggering
their initial cost. The tire on dis
play here was known in trade parlance
as 40x8 and costs, exclusive of the
inner tube $199.50, and the cost of an
inner tube for the same is $1,000.
When we expressed our engagement
Ward said that still larger tyne of
tire was made by the Firestone Com
pany which would make the Minot
specimen look like a dwarf-in other
words it was 48 inches in diameter and
twelve inch tread-with a cost COM

A man who writes music on his
own wall paper, and then tears off
nine feet of the manuscript for his
visitor to take away with him, is
Percy Grainger's idea of a real
music lover. Mr.. Granger Is the
Australian pianist who will appear
at the Masonic temple on Jan. 8,
being brought here by the Rock
Island Musical club.
A young composer-pianist met
the man who literally tore off,
music while he waited, while he
was carrying on his fa9orite past
time of folksong hunting in a little
hamlet in Lincolnshire. England.
Granger had heard that the man
knew a version of a folksong in
which he was particularly inter-
ested. The peasant was SO enthu-
siastic over the idea of helping
the young Austrxiian to get what
he wanted, that he wrote the whole
song On his wall and then ripped
off nine feet Of the wall paper and
gave it to Granger. The celebrat-
ed pianist still has this interesting
snatch Of song with the rest OF
his possessions in England.
