Cord tires for motor trucks:

It will be noted that in this table
the cord tire is given slightly
greater carrying capacity than the
fabric. The difference between the
air pressure of fabric and cord tires
should be carefully noted.
There has been 50 much discus
sion to the effect that tord tires did
not require as much pressure as
fabric tires, that we have found by
taking the pressure of number OF
cord tires selected at random, that
motorists are using considerably
less pressure than they should"
said r. D. Drake, manager service

THE result of this is that occa-

The value of such simplicity is

most important of all it gives prac-
tical freedom from repairs. That
accounts for the Stewart records in

That is why they are the choice
of more than 200 lines of business in

BENTLEY PREDICTS
SUCCESSFUL SEASON

J. H. Bentley, superintendent Of the
Richmond public schools and stage
manager of the chautauqua, spoke
briefly before the opening number
Sunday afternoon. He predicted a
successful season.
"All campers are urged to report at
the chautauQua headquarters to regis
ter their names and tent number, so
that no confusion in the delivering Of
mail, kilograms, etc, will result. This
is especially eXpedient and should be
done at once by all campers" said
he.
Bentley spoke Of the Official silen-
GERS" who have been posted about the
big tent.
These men will come to you and
say keep still if you are talking or
in other ways annoying the persons
around you. Now, don't get mad If
one of these men does this; just keep
still. They have been officially made
responsible for keeping the big tent
silent during the program"
The silence zone section surround
ing the big tent has been roped off
this year, Bentley explained. All per-
sons who wish to talk are asked to
stay outside this zone.
| Bentley gave special notice to the
| lecture on Victory" Of Edward Am
herst OFT at SIS Tuesday evening.
Mr. OFT has a splendid forceful leo
ture; one you will enjoy" he said.

Boys Bring Back Love
of Heavy Guns; Hunting
Becoming Popular Sport

There is greater demand for large
size ammunition and automatic re-
volvers now than there ever was be-
fore, and local hardware dealers have
been forced to increase the variety
and size of their gun and ammunition
stock they say.
The constant use of large calibre
guns by the boys in service has in
stilled a liking for this size and the
majority of the overseas boys brought
this type of guns home with them.
A great many have also brought home
foreign types, such as the German
Lueger, and French and Spanish re-
volvers. The English gun was also
brought home.
Although there is a greater demand
for the heavier calibre revolvers and
rifles, the demand for shotguns is IN
the other direction and the light six
teen and twenty gauge shotguns are
becoming popular.
The number of hunting licenses
sold this year greatly exceeds that
of other years and it is thought that
the squirrels and rabbits are going to
have merry time of it this year

Tim SAFETY
SAYS PROF. NEWCOMB

Probably q number of the people
who attended the Chautauqua Sunday
evening had not seen Will Rogers in
the "Follies," but they appreciated
Prof. Charles M. Newcomb, of the de-
partment of oratory of Ohio Wesleyan
University, anyway, when he brought
out two innocent looking ropes, camou-
tagged as lariats, and told them all
the funny things that had happened
to him lately. He did all this in the
easy, nonchalant way of the Follies
star of last year.
For more than ten years Prof. New
comb has been doing lyceum and chau-
tauqua work and has attained success
both as a reader and lecturer, which
ne combines in pleasing program.
The Mission Of Laughter" was his
subject Sunday evening
"Lapses, not too acute from the
social order, departure from dignity of
thing or person usually dignif1ed;
any change from the normal which is
not serve enough to pain, causes
laughter" said the speaker.
Laughter is natures safety valve,
and many a great man such as Abra-
ham Lincoln has applied it to pull him
through the stress and strain.
Take, also, our soldiers in France,
those of our Allies. The Germans with
their song of hate simply could not
understand the fun making of the
Tommies and the Yanks. When they
sang parodies of the song of hate and
threw it back across No-Man's Land
the Huns we're very dense or they
would have sensed the indominable
spirit which fed the fire of this mirth

her play first, and astounded the ar
fist by informing her that she really
