During the present season, the out
put of our Akron factories alone has
approximated the enormous figure of
$4,000 finished Goodyear Tires
per day.
If this production can be maintained
over the 800 working days per year,
in twelve months Goodyear will have
produced one tire to each of the
100000 automobiles in the land.
Think of the immensity of this vol
ume, in view Of the fact that there are
some 800 other brands of ftires-think
of what it means in tribute to the
goodness of Goodyear Tires.
Especially think Of its significance in
the light Of the present situation
despite this amazing total there still
are not enough Good year Tires to 60
round.
The present unparalleled popularity
Of Goodyear Tires is all the more re-
markable in that it is founded solely
on the virtues in Good year Tires
themselves.
No fictitious discounts, no delusive
guarantees, no expedients Of any sort
have been employed to stimulate
artifcially the even march Of sales.

Purely on the merit Of Goodyear
Tires, and the consistently fine service
they deliver, rests the demand which
even the worlds largest tire produce
ton does not satisfy.
Certainly nothing less than conspicu>
Gus superiority could thus win and

We want to serve all these tire>users,
we want ample stocks Of Goodyear
Tires everywhere; to that end we are

production.
But SO far it has not been humanity
possible forus to build tires of standard
Goodyear quality in the volume all
these people demand.
Until we are able to do SO, we sug>

CHAPTER v.
The Great Stranger

Some strangers came along the
road those. days-hunters, peddlers
and the like-and their coming filed
me with joy which mostly went
away with them, I regret to say. None
of these, however, appealed to my
Imagination as did old Kate. But
there was one stranger greater than
she-greater indeed, than any other
who came into Rattleroad. He came
rarely and would not be long detained.
How curiously we looked at him,
knowing his fame and power! This
great stranger was Money.
1 shall never forget the day that
my uncle showed me dollar bill and
a little shiny, gold coin and three
pieces of silver. nor can 1 forget how
carefully he watched them while
they lay in my hands and presently
put them back into his wallet. That
was long before the time of which !
am writing. / remember hearing him
say, one day of that year, when
asked him to take us to the Caravan
Of Wild Beasts which was coming to
the village:

Sundays since / had q dollar in my
wallet for more than ten minutes"

the years of 1887 and 1888. Here are

at 90 cents, to be paid in goods.
"Sold two sheep to Flavus Curtis
and took his note for SO, payable In
boots on or before March the first"
Only one entry in more than a
hundred mention money, and this was
the sum of eleven cents received in
balance from neighbor.
SO 1t will be seen that a spirit Of
mutual accommodation served to
help us over the rough going. Mr..
Grlmshaw, however, demanded his
pay i'm cash and that find was main
ly the habit Of the money-lenders.

had not seen Mr.. Wright for nearly
two years, but he had sent us the
novels of Sir Walter Scott and had
led them heart deep into the creed
battles of Old Mortality.
Then came the evil days of 1887,
when the story of our lives began to
quicken its pace and excite our inter
est in Its coming chapters. 1t gave
us enough to think of, God knows.
Wild speculations in land and the
American paper-money system had
brought us into rough going. The
banks of the city of New York had
suspended payment of their notes.
They could no longer meet their en-
gagements. AS usual, the burden fell
heaviest on the poor. 1t was hard to

vation just as soon as the cold weather
is over. Very little remains to be done
on excavations.

Brest, Feb. 20.-Brest may not be
the best military base in the world,
but is far from the worst, in the opin-
ion of officers ard men permanently
stationed here.
An investigation, conducted under
such circumstances as the situation
will permit, failed to substantiate
charges that Brest is a .'pest hole or
that the men are victims of misman-
agement. 1t is true that, in common
with much of western France, there
is a Supera bundance of mud, but this
is due to climatic and geological con-
ditions. This could not be avoided, as
Brest was selected as a lase because
of strategic and geographical reasons
Reports of shocking food and sanitary
conditions are unfounded, according to
the inhabitants of the camp them
selves.
Rumors are understood TO have been
circulated in the United States that
5000 American soldiers died in Brest
during September and October of the
last year.
1,211 Deaths in Fifteen Months.
The facts are, according to figures
given the correspondent, that from No
vember. 1917, when Camp Pontanez-
zen-where soldiers are congregated to
await transportation home-was estab-
lished, up to the first of the present
month, there were 1,211 deaths from
all causes. This includes the victims
of the pneumonia and influenza epi-
demic during October and September,
most of whom are said to have become
infected either en- route or fore they
left the United States. 1t also includes
$40 who died aboard while coming
over. These figures were authorized

Edie, base surgeon. These officers
