For Local Buyers of

When our new modern tire manufacturing
plant started operations s months ago, we
nounced that we would be glad to extend to our
immediate neighbors and friends in South Bend
the privilege of buying South Bend Tires and
Tubes right at our factory.
So many car owners have availed them
selves of this invitation to obtain strictly fresh,
high grade South Bend Tires direct from the
makers that our facilities for serving these home
folks at our factory have become inadequate.
We are therefore pleased to announce that
the Taylor Tire Shop, corner Jefferson Blvd.
and St. Joe ST., have been appointed factory
representatives and distributors for South Bend
Tires and Tubes in this city with full power and
authority to make adjustments for our local
patrons.
The success of South Bend Tires all over
the country and in many foreign markets is not
more gratifying to us than the words of praise
they have won from our home folks in South
Bend and we have sought by this new arrange
ment, to show appreciation Of their patron
age.
South Bend Tires are as good as their name
and being backed by Factory Service plus
Taylor Service they offer to South Bend car
owners the biggest value to be obtained

Fast RecIaiminu Desert.


Men have begun to reclaim the CALI
fornian desert by irrigation. The I'm
perial valley is the first word In the
bringing back of the waters to the
thirsty land, but it is by no means the
last. Towns like Brawley and I'M
perial now stand where the mesquite
once grew and the coyote howled. The
limit of mans progress in the valley
is sharply defined. The 'sfield" Of al
falfa or grain faces the desert, the one
wearing a fierce scowl, the other a
gentle smile. Close by live the des-
ert's conquerors, big outstanding folk.
amid the softness of an eternal sum-
mer. The irrigation canals flow music
ally everywhere. The houses are
ringed round with clOth-screened We
randas, which do duty also as living
and sleeping places. The people al
ways seem to be on the defensive
against the desert. But they have
made it blossom like the rose, and are
making it pay. Soon the desert of
lost hopes, of burning heats, of in
tolerable mirages, and arid solitudes
will be a land of teeming thousands
and of plenty.

weights Affected by Gravity.

Anything weighed in the polar re-
gions weighs more than if weighed on
the equator, If weighed by spring
balance, since the strength OF the
snring is not affected by gravity; but
if weighed by a scale beam balance
and weights the weight is the same as
in any part of the world. since the
weights are affected by gravity to the
same degree as the article which is
weished. For this reason goods weigh
ed in custom houses from foreign parts
