Sprague Adds Latest
Machinery to His Big
Omaha Tire Factor,

The Sprague Tire and Rubbe,
company this week is installing ar
impregnator, the latest word in
equipment for preparing fabric and
cord for construction of tire.
Only a few impegnators are now
being used, and it was only after
months of effort that E. H. Sprague,
president of Omaha's rapidly grow
ing rubber concern, was able to get
one.
An impregnator thoroughly rub
berries. or "frictions" the fabric or
cord. 1t spreads and presses the
pure gum in and around every
strand.
With the pure gum friction" used
in every bit of impregnating,
Sprague tires are to be still strong
er and long-lived, according to Mr..
Sprague.
This is the last word in making
a carcass of a tire 100 per cent per-
feet" said Mr.. Sprague. at means
we're going to make our tires even
still better"
Production of 500 tires and 1000
tubes day will begin within short
time.

RESALE VALUE
Of LIBERTY SIX
IS FOUND HIGH
Survey Of Agencies Finds Few

Cars and Few

The unusually high resale value Of
the Liberty Six has been confirmed
in an interesting manner through
survey just completed by the fac
tory sales department of the Lib
erty Motor Car company OF Detroit.
Reports gathered from different
sections of the country are said to
have fully substantiated the belief
of company officials that the Lib
erty has a resale value which 10
probably higher in proportion than
most automobiles, irrespective Of
price.
With an ever-incrcasing demand
for this car, it was obvious that the
number on order could not be sup
piled at once, and for this reason at,
tention was given to survey in
each locality to determine the num-
Der of Libertys which had changed
hands, as we'll as the number of
used Libertys now available for the
market. According to the data ac-
cumulated, those who had disposed
of their new cars were insignificant
in number, and the number of used
Libertys that might be offered for
sale at the present time the coun-
try over was so small that it was
simply amazing.

GALEN'S FAITH IN NoSTRUM

Mithradatium was the name of the
great antidote of Roman pharmacy. II
had from 40 to so vegetable ingredl.
ents' few Of which had any real medic
mai value except opium, and these
drugs were blended with honey.
1t remained for Nero's physician, An
dromachus, to put the finishing touches
to this wonderful compound. Andro-
machus added vipers flesh to the for
mula and called HIS new compound
fherlaca. He wrote some verses ded.
lcated to Nero, describing this med-
clhe ana claiming virtues for 1t which
IN our day would subject him to pros

MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS
Foolish Habit Of Leaning on Others Is

Most people who have succeeded in
any direction of activity can trace the
measure of their success to the habit
Of deciding things for themselves. One
of the greatest temptations we have
Is to confide in otherA BY yielding to
1t we not only become nuisance to
our friends but keep on lowering our
own powers of resistance. 1t is worse
than useless to ask the advice of 9TH
ers, because they are rarely so much
Interested in our troubles as we think
they are, or would like them to be. If
they were, they would have to know as
much about our troubles as we do, to
pass judgment, and this we can not
tell them even If we would.
Sometimes indeed we may know too
much about our own troubles, or in
such way that the continuous
thought of them puts them in the
wrong perspective; but this situation
is only made worse by adding the
confusion of another's mind to ours.
BY deciding everything for yourself
you make mistakes; but every mistake
is valuable future asset. 1t is the
only way you can learn how. Learning
how is very necessary. Unless you are
willing to do this and stand upon your
own ground your permanent success
will be doubly dif1icult.-Pictorial Re
