is no surprise to those who know any
thing about Walla Walla, as it has the
reputation of being one of the richest
small cities in the west, or anywhere

get in on the ground floor as there is
in this part of the state which crowds
Walla Walla close as the premier pro-
ductive section of the west.

A Proclamation BY The Goyerno

ETOCidtDdIiUu Dy Lie OOfSIuOT
One of the most marked results of
the recent World War is the deep
appreciation of Ameri ,au citizenship
as evidenced by all who claim that
great privilege.
This is feeling most worthy OF
encouragement. AS an appropriate
occasion 10 further this pride OF
country and induce the practice of
those noble principles Of which we
love to feel the name of America is
but Synonym, 1t has been suggested
that time be set apart to be devoted
to fitting recognition of the great
heritage of American citizenship.
An American who valued that
citizenship to the highest degree was
Theodore Roosevelt. No title pleased
him more than that Of "Theodore
koosevelt-American". His memory
is the common heritage of all
Americans.
!. In CO operation with the Roosevelt
Memorial Association, which plans
to conduct nation wide campaign
to honor Roosevelt the man, 10 order
that his manly qualities may be
fused into the life and spirit OF
American youth. I, ID. w. Davis,
Governor of the State of Idaho, do
hereby set Monday, October 9th as
"Americanization Day" in the State
OF Idaho, and ask the people of this
state to give fitting expression on
that date to their appreciation Of
citizenship, and due honor to the
memory of the man whose birth is
celebrated on that day, Theodore
Roosevelt-American.
10 WITNESS WHEREOF, have
hereuuto set my hand and caused to
be affixed the Great Seal of the State
of Idaho.

Forty makes of motor tires were submitted 10 the Bureau of Standards by the office of the Quartermaster- General" writes Thomas 1T. UZzell in E,verybody'S for August. They were given laboratory durability runs af- ter which they were autopsied by the rubber specialists. Their 'carcasscs' were cut up and the pieces boiled, roasted, stretched. The results were discouraging. Even the best of them seemed to suffer from improper 'toughening.'
 "So into their little rubber-mill went the experts, with notes furnish cd them by the tire manufacturers, and proceeded to make up some tire rubber which had the proper degree Of toughness. They succeeded. They passed out the word: The trouble is that you makers are not sitting your zinc oxid before mixing it with the rubber compound
 "The makers began to sift. Better tires resulted. Some thirty million dollars were saved to the government. And today you are enjoying a cut in your tire bill by getting better tires result of that experiment with zinc oxid.''
