SECY. YORAN GIVES REPORT OF
CONFERENCE.

At the regular meeting OF the Man
chester Commercial Club, held at
Keckler's restaurant on Monday even
ling, C.. G. Yoran, secretary Of the
local club. gave an interesting report
Of the meeting Of Commercial Club
secretaries held at Clear Lake. Iowa,
last week. P. F. Madden, vice pres
ident Of the local club, gave brief
report Of the sessions he attended
Mr.. Madden only attended q part 81
the conference, while Mr.. Yoran at
tended the entire session.
One OF the features that Mr.. Mad
den mentioned was the discussions
had at the. conference relative to the
handling OF the ever increasing pat
ronage Of the smaller trading cen-
ters. He said that the local merchant
now draws trade from a much larger
area than in former days. due largely
to the automobile, which brings peo-
pie to the better trading centers for
many miles. s.
Mr.. Yoran, in giving his report, re-
ISTISu W u uuulUCA VI PuuSCo "a
commercial life. The hard surfacing
road problem, the community or men,
orial building among them. Consid-
cradle discussion was had relative to
bill being introduced in congress by
Senator w. s. Kenyon Of Iowa, rela-
tive to the big packing industries. A
representative of the st. Clair Pack
ing Company of Cedar Rapids was
called to the conference at Clear
Lake to give the Commercial Club
secretaries the views Of the packing
industries. Mr.. Yoran states that II
the bill is passed as Senator Kenyon
has presented it, it would seriously
cripple the small packing industries
of Iowa.
Mr.. Yoran's report contained much
of interest to the business men of
Manchester, and more of the club
members should have been in attend
ance at the meeting to hear it.

months maturity, bearing interest at
Az per cent, will be issued semi
monthly on the 1st and 18th, begin
ming August /, for the rest OF the cal
endar year for the purpose OF finan-
cling the governments requirements.
The first issue, dated August l, due
January 2, 1920. will be for s500.00O;-
900. The quota assigned to the Sew
enth Federal Reserve District is
$40 ,O00, 900 and is to be reapportioned
among the banks Of the district as 1.6
per cent OF the total resources as OF
December 81, 1918. Victory Loan

ust IL, Sept 8, and October will be
accepted in payment for this issue.
In the official information sent out

quent issues aside from August and

motor truck Of today, which is OF
more practical benefit to the user per-
haps, than the pneumatic tire. For a
long time the mention Of pneumatic
tires for truck hauling, was the oc-
casion for a smile on the part of those
who had been using solid tired trucks
but Chairman c. G. Yoran, OF the lo-
cal committee in charge of the pro-
gram Of the National Motor Truck
Development Tour, says that the
tour has set at rest all ideas that the
pneumatic tired truck is not more
efficient than the solid tire.
The truck caravan which is coming
through here on August 7th has no
solid tires in it. These trucks range
in capacity from one to two and one
half tons and are equipped with
pneumatic tires because the manu-
facturers wish to show that the air
filled tire was the real tire for q
truck OF this kind. The pneumatic
tire does not have to limit its hauling
to smooth streets. There are numer-
ous stage lines in Nevada that are
operated solely on pneumatic tires.
These stage lines, many Of them. car
ry Eve ton loads over roads that are
called roads only by courtesy.
Here are some Of the reasons for
the presumption that the pneumatic
tire for truck equipment is the prac-
tical solution for a number Of draw
backs to the truck. These facts are
not guess work, but were arrived at
through years Of experimentation.
A solid tired truck that will cover
six miles on a gallon OF gas will go
2-3 farther on pneumatics, a quart
of oil will go one third farther IN
pneumatic tired truck than it will
in solid tired truck. 1t is possible
to increase the speed by using pneu-
MATES. Pneumatic tires will do q
great Neal towards keeping the
truck out OF the repair shop, be-
cause it has been proved that the
maintenance Is at least 0ne-third less,
The articles being transported do not
suffer nearly the damage on pneumat-
les that they do on solid tires. The
pneumatic tire has passed the exper-
mental stage by the larger tire
companies-the United States, Good
year, Firestone and Goodrich.
Pneumatic tires were first made for
truck use In Detroit n-1911 and when
the user imagines that the pneumatic
tire is an innovation, he misses the
mark. The trucks in the National
Motor Truck Development Tour, some
OF them. are equipped with 3sx7 tires
in the rear.
Rubber is one OF the, toughest sub
stances on earth to drive nail
into. The treads on these tires are
as much as an inch and half thick.
The truck tire, IL 1t should encounter
ANAL. mine times out Of ten, could
absorb that nail with impunity, be-
cause II the nail should enter the
tread, when it hits the closely woven
cords, it would be DETECTED and the
sharp point Of the nail would come
ont Of the tire.

both the Indian school and the paro-
chial school was a revelation. Splen-
did needle work. baking and canning
were specially noticeable.
The cattle display was big i'm
provement and there was a splendid
showing of swine. Grains were also
an attraction and in vegetables there
was wide variety, all 81 exception
al quality. Chickens are also grow
ing in favor as part Of the solution
of the high cost Of living and several
good specimens were on display.

Two Indian teams gave an exhibi-
