made remarks when she asked him for

WHAT
lHE IS plain, frank talk on tire guarantees.
It clears up the misunderstanding about the
guaranty that misleads many tire user and
dealer
It shows them how their rights and safety
arc best secured in the sale of tire. It
means more protection to the user, and a
stabler business to the dealer.
Why does user buy certain tire7 Nine
times out Of ten because he has been led to
expect certain mileage from it
Therefore, it Is vital that the user under
stands clearly what service he has right to
expect from tire.
DOES the tire guaranty make this clear
between him and the dealer? What does it
guarantee? Where does it begin, and end2
Read and see.
All the leading tire manufacturers, The B. F.
Goodrich Rubber Company the same as the
rest guarantee tireswith these identical words:
we guarantee all Pneumatic Automobile Tires bear-
ing and serial number to be free from imper
lection Of material and Workmanship.
Pneumatic Automobile Tires are not guaran-
aed to give any definite number of miles,"
This guaranty means that if lin the judg-
ment' of the manufacturer usage reveals
an imperfecion of material or Workmanship,
the manufacturer will repair or replace it
at bis option" adjusting it according to his
own Judgment; and it means nothing more.
BUT how" the tire user very properly
demands, is the adjustment of an imperfect
tire made? Where does the adjustment begin?"

The Tire Guaranty!
WHAT IS IT?

To such questions the guaranty against Inn
perfection makes no specific answer whatever.
But to all these questions, the Goodrich
Adjustment makes a specific answer, open
handed as Justice. It takes up tire lDhere
the guaranty stops, and leaves no room for
misunderstanding, or controversy, between
user and dealer.
It says that Goodrich Fabric Tire, with
proper usage will deliver at least 5000
miles; and Silvertown Cord at least 5000
miles.

AN imperfect Goodrich Tire is so rare that
an adjustment is an irnmaterial thing to The
B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company; but single
imperfect tire to the individual user who
gets it is too material thing to be ignored
Yet without an adjustment basis, clearly and
definitely stated, tire user with claim
against tire, goes into court where there
is no law. But the Goodrich Adjustment
lays down the law, fair to user and dealer
clear to both. ISL. -.
Thus Goodrich first insures the user against
an imperfect tire with the guaranty; then
specifies clearly the amount of his insurance
with the Goodrich Adjustment basis-6O0O
miles for Fabrics-80OO miles for Silvertown
Cords.
That takes the risk out Of the sale of
Goodrich Tire, both for dealer and user. It
takes the guess out of its service
Demand Goodrich Tires of your dealer.

PERSONAL ABUSE

Abuse rebounds, like a rubber ball
against the abuser. Personal viIifica-
ton is too mean and low to Justify a
kind thought, unless it is said that for
every ill-tempered accusation there
Is near at hand some opportunity for
praise. We never saw man quite so
bad as an enemy pictured him. All
men have their faults, but generally
no more than the merits that may be
presented to offset them. But this
matter needs no reasoning, for every
one knows that he who abuses another
is not himself as good as he ought to
be. He may not steal or swear or
pick pockets, but these are not the
only offenses that keep man out of
heaven. Another is hating ones
brother. There lis almost enough of
that going on to send us all to hell

selves worthy of the new conditions
of labor The work in the front Of
flee is finished in eight hours, and
there is no trouble about it, But
does the work all get out in the
back shop? Does the shorter work
period bring as heavy production
as the longer period used to? If it
does not work our, If shortened
hours mean shortened production
then there is mockery in much Of the
advance we have been claiming. For
after all the worlds work must be
done. The coal must be mined; the
wheat planted and harvested. thhe
trains kept running. the daily round
of life kept going. 1t can't run ON
faith. Work is at the bottom Of
prosperity and if the workers slack
the nation suffers.
The whole problem of the high
cost of living depends upon the
seriousness with which labor con-
siders it's obligation. The world
wants to make labor as easy as may
be, to pay labor justly and even
generously.
The world wishes to see that the
man who works With his hands may
look the world in the face with self
respect; that he may live in a decent
home, educate his children to enjoy
all the civilization which he makes,
that he may have leisure to think
and put wise vote in the ballot
box, but after all that is said and
done, labor does require sweat.
1t is question of sweat or head
ache, hand work or brain work.
Both should be encouraged, both
rewarded but neither can be shirked
il the world moves. And when the
man who labors with his head or
his hands gets the notion that he
can eat bread without sweat or head
aches. the high cost of living is going
to bow its back up into revolu-
ton. The plain facts about the high
cost of living resolve themselves in
to one big truth: Too many people
are eating in proportion to the num-
Der working.-W. A. White in Empo
Gazette.

of the need of Uncle Sam for men to
man the ships that are standing i'm

much in need of Drawn but brain and

many on the floor were unable to

Chief Weaver stated this morning
that the reception the band was given
in BaraboO was one of the finest re-
ceived anywhere but stated that this

APPLIED PHILOSOPHY

1t seems incredible that a doctor
OF philosophy should reject posi-
tion in the University of Michigan
and retain one where bags of meal
and sacks of bran are the units of
measure. Yet such is the case Ow-
ing to the unexpected influx of stu
dents it has been necessary to secure
additional instructors. One man ex-
cellently equipped having not only a
broad knowledge of history but also
command of Latin, Greek, Hebrew.
Sanscrit French German Spanish and
various other languages was offered
an instructorship in history if he
would come for nine months. The
salary was $500. The doctor of
philosophy wired back: Thanks for
the offer. Have good job in a feed
store. Guess I'll stick to it,
As a day laborer in a shipyard,
coal mine or any other going concern
this doctor of philosophy master of
arts and bachelor OF the same could
earn more money than by taking the
proffered instructorship in history.
BY sheed application OF philosophy
be could rapidly rise-in a rolling
mill, for instance until he could earn
anywhere from $4,000 to $1,000 a
year as a head roller. Even ss a

THE WONDER HOUSE
(Abbie Farwell Brown. }

(Abbie Farwell Brown
I'm building me a wonder house
Apart from busy ways;
And there I mean to shelter me
In gladness all my days
The fabric is the love-of friends,
Cemented strong and stout,
With four square walls of loyalty
To keep unkindness out.
The porch is broad. the threshold wide
I'll have no bolt nor bar;
And for hospitable sign
The door shall stand ajar.
The light of trust and sympathy
In every nook will shine;
And laughter like the breeze shall blow
Through all this house of mine.
The house will never be. complete;
But adding one by one
The soaring gables builded firm,
I'll rear 1t toward the sun,
Until the turrets pierce the clouds
And starry cressets wear;
When angels walk upon the roof
And God comes down the stair.
