Nation as nothing else can.
Apropos to this, the announcement
made to-day that the Ninth Ameri-

auspices of the American Road

Louisville, KY, the second week in

This meeting will bring together
from every part of the country, the
practical and scientific men identi-
fed with highway construction, and
maintenance, the men who will be
responsible for the expenditure of
the vast sums available for highway
work. There they will discuss from
every angle the many problems con-
nected with the construction, ad-
ministration, financing and mairte-
nance of national, State, county and
city highways.
In connection with this convention,
there will also be held the Eleventh

With the vast factory facilities avail

This engine which has been perfected

The plant itself occupies but little
space. 1t consists only of the WHY'S

There is such a thing as tire in

very best tire insurance in the world
is good inner tube.
Put inside your casing a tube that
is dependable, one that will outlast
the wear of the casing itself, and
you have protected yourself against

Good tubes ost no more than poor

BULLDOGS ASK
TOO MUCH FOR
CONTEST HERE
So Docs Massillon, But Manager
Flanagan WIN Book Other Big
Teams Of the East.

There are football fans in Rock
Island, who are asking why the
Canton Bulldogs are not brought
to this city to play the Independ-
ents. It 10 . difficult matter to
convince them that such . contest
Is practically out Of the question,
for this fall at least.
The latter part Of August Mana
ger Flanagan was in communica-
ton with Canton. and at that time
the Ohioans stated emphatically
that they could not come this far
without q fiat guarantee OF 5000.
To put such an important game on
here would entail an outlay Of at
least $4,000 II Canton would accept
Flanigan's counter proposition OF
$500 guarantee. There has not
been q gate this season to date that
has returned that amount In gross
receipts.
Flanagan then got in touch with
the Massillon Tigers, and the same
guarantee was asked. He then got
in touch with every big team in
the east and 1t proved impossible
to convince them that q trip here
would be profitable to them. They
claim that being good drawing
cards in their own territory, 1t
would be unwise to come this far.
A Rock Islander who witnessed
the recent game between Akron
and the Tigers said that 1000 at
tended despite the fact that 1t was
played in rain, and the charge OF
admission was $3.50 for everyone
without war tax.
The Cleveland Pros seemed to be
the most likely team. to be brought
here, and contracts were mailed to
the manager. To date they have
not been returned and it looks as
II Cleveland is crawfishing.
Flanagan Is keeping in touch
with other important aggregations
of that section and he promises to
bring them here. The Panhandles

So far nothing has been heard

is thought that an answer will be
here in a few days, however. The

on the grounds that when Duffin

have gone to Rock Island instead
