Do you know what kills a town
Here it is: 1t is when some poor
miserable, dwarfed soul tries TO put
it into his pocket. While it looks
foolish, many good towns are run
right into the ground by just such
parties.
Complaint is made that it costs an
average of Is cents a school day per
child to put the rising generation of
this country thru the elementary and
high schools. But it is very indiffer-
ent youngster who isn't worth that
much-and lot more.
If you should be so unfortunate as
to break borrowed article, insist

would like to have a broken article
brought home when the borrower
makes no attempt to make amends
for breaks.

MOUNTING STRAIGHT SIDE
TIRES.


The proper method OF mounting
straight side tires is to lay the rim on
the floor, inserting the valve stem of the
tire in its proper place. The bead for
ten inches on both sides of the valve
should then be forced in place. After
starting the tire in this way 1t
should be forced in place further by
stamping on it, first on one side and
then on the other. Stamping in this way
will let the operator seat the tire easily
as general thing. though it is some
times necessary to resort to tire tool.
The ends OF the rim may be brought into
place by means of screwdriver to use
in prying, and care mush be used not
to make a mistake and get the wrong
end Of the rim on top. This method is
for use when a rim expanding and con-
tracing tool is not available, as this
lStter saves much time and trouble and
SHOULD be in every toolbox.

Washington, Aug. 27.--Declaring
that the step is necessary to control

companies the federal trade commits

1t recommends Tie property con-
cerned, including icing stations and
other facilities, as well as the cars,
ze acquired by the government, and
that railways be licensed to own and
operate them.
The big packers, the report says,
own 80 per cent of the refrigerator
equipment of the country suitable for
the transportation of fresh meat.
'The countrywide system of distri-
button by the five big packers has
grown up from their control of re-
frigerator car lines in connection with
various POOLS" the report says in
part.
I'm turn, the volume of traffic of
the five packers has enabled them to
procure from the railroads adyan-
tages over competing shippers. For
merly in the shape of direct rebates,
these advantages usually consist of
expedited service for the big packers
cars, favorable mixing rules, which in
clude all their diversified products, al
lowance paid to some of the big pack
ers by carriers for part of the trans
portatiOn service, favorable arrange
ments and lease of stockyards by the
railroads to some of the big packers.

ary of one of the big five.
