THOROLD, Ont, Dec. 6.-What en-

thousands of years. has been uncover

The ''sk keIeton'' of this great prehis-

in charge of construction. was fully
as wide and probably had greater
fall than the present Niagara Falls.
The first indications of the former
cataract came to light when workmen

The Canton Cord Tire is presented to the car
owners of the nation as distinct achievement in
tire building.
1t embodies all the recent advances in cord tire
construction and the excellence of the materials
assure it long life no matter what the service it
is called on to perform
The tread, which is known as the Dot and Dash
tread, is, in our opinion, great advance in non
skid designing. The center running strip gives
the easy rolling of plain or ribbed tread tire.
Cord tire workmen who were carefully picked
for their experience and skill were engaged to
make the Canton Cord and the result is evident to
any one who equips with Canton Cords
No better tire is made today.

AN EXPENSIVE DELAY.

The importance of an early return
Of the railroads to the competent con-
troll and efficient management of
their owners is strongly emphasized
in the current issue of the Manufac-
turers Record which says:
With the biggest wheat crop on
record and the greatest vacuum ever
known in the worlds food supply, the
natural movement from the bursting
granaries of the west to fill the mighty
vacuum in Europe will cause a de-
mand for transportation this fall and
winter far beyond railroad and ocean
transportation facilities.
This Will be especially true with our
railroads. They are unequal to the
handling adequately OF the business
that is now offered them. Builders
and contractors are already complain
ing of the serious delay in transporta-
ton of lumber and of other ma
terials. Everywhere the evidence is
growing that the railroads are gaing
to fall farther and farther behind in
meeting the requirements of the next
IL months. Trade revival. already
under way, will soon be hampered Sc
riously by inadequate railroad facili-
ties, and as the enormous wheat crop
begins to move to the seaboard to feed
the starving people of Europe, con-
gestion of traffic is inevitable.
Should the coming winter prove a
severe one, traffic congestion may
become almost as bad as it was two
winters ago. The outcry for more
dwellings Is heard thruout the land,
but soon the cutlery for more cars and
locomotives will be more intense than
is the demand for dwellings. Traffic
will be congested in all parts of the
country, passenger trains will again be
several hours behind schedule time,
building Onera tiONQ will he haIfad he
cause material cannot be delivered
promptly and thousands of people
will suffer from cold because of a lack
of coal. and the railroads will not be
able to deliver the coal promptly dur
ing the coming winter even II the sup
ply were fully adequate to the needs
of the country. Every man needing
a ton OF coal for next winter should
get II into his house as quickly as
possible. whether it be for heating or
for steam purposes. 1t will be too
late next winter to cry for coal, for the
demand on the mines will exceed the
output. and the demand for trans
portation will BE- greater than the
railroads can possibly provide.
notwithstanding this situation, the
railroad administration is making
comparatively little progress toward
increasing transportation facilities. In
place Of n few hundred thousand tons
Of steel rails. millions of tons are
needed. Instead of a few thousand
cars and locomotives, hundreds OF
thousands of cars. and many hundreds
of locomotives beyond the present
supply will be needed this fall and
winter. But the railroads are doing
| almost nothing to meet so serious q
| situation, one fraught with danger to
the business interests Of the country
Every days delay in charging our
/ transportation facilities costs the coun.
/ try far more than it would havs cost
us to buy every ton of rails that was
/ needed and every car and locomotive
required. even II We had had to pay
very much higher prices than are NOW
