Waterhouse Co. Holds
Very Unusual Sale

The automobile department OF

OVERSIZE is
TIRE FACTOR

The superiority Of the oversize tire
over normal size castings rs too well
known to require additional verifi-
cation. Increased size means in
creased service. for almost every de-
sirable quality possessed by u tire
Is revealed In greater degree II
that tire II OF oversize construction.
Tho motorist who has compared
tires OF different sizes finds that the
advantages IN favor OF oversize emf
ings are numerous. lie realizes
greater comfort. because such tires
more readily absorb road shocks and
lmpart huoyancy. lie is for this
same reason conserving the utility
and frightening the life OF his car.
and his chances OF sustaining stone
bruises and blowouts are consider
ably abated.
Oversize Tires Minority
Despite the pre-emincnce OF over
size castings. by far tho greater ma
jority OF automobiles arc shod with
tires OF ordinary alze. partly, no
doubt because tho Importance OF
ample size is not fully appreciated.
and partly because the majority nt
cars are tire understood when they
come from the factory.
There has always been need for
an oversize fabric tire OF high Quail
lily. SO constructed that II might sue
cessfully compete with cord tires OF
a higher price. The House OF
Spreckels some time since realized
this need. and brought the resources
and experience OF their organization
to bear upon tho problem. The re-
suit OF this effort is expressed In the
Savage - type tire. an extra large
oversize casing. with an extra ply
Of fabric over that used In average
tires. This new tire met with In
staat recognition as distinct
achievement IL has proven "A great
success. and car owners who have
experienced their oonoemy and ser
vice. consider u types as preferred
tire equipment.

Jewell Gives $3.50 for Roads.

Jewell Record: The Jewell Com
munity club, at its regular meeting
Monday night voted to contribute $3.50
from the club funds to the work OF
crawling the roads leading into Jewell
The money was distributed between the
north and the west roads, each being
given 1926.
Many of the members of the club
had previously, of course, contributed
individually to crawling, as also have
many people not members Of the or
ganization. SO far J. Il. Thompson has
raised pledges of 1888 for the west
road, all of which is paid in except
$2S. He has had 355 yards Of gravel
put on this road, at cost Of $532 .N
and about one-half Of that road is
graveled. He now has $125, contribut-
ed by the club to gravel part of the
remaining distance, but about S4O0
more money is still needed to finish
the west road, based on the cost Of the
work already done.
DR.. G. w. Anderson has raised the
money for graveling the east road, and
work is now being done on that road.
Thos. Thompson has raised money for
the south road, but graveling has not
vet been started, 1t is understood
that both Mr.. Thompson and Mr.. An
derson have about enough money al
ready pledged to finish their roads. and
for that reason the Community club
contribution was given to the other
two roads. Mr.. BalduS has less than
$500 pledged for the north road, which
will be probably about one-third
enough. Work on that road has not
started yet.

Off the country roads OF Iowa within
thirty days or they will be forcibly re
moved. This edict has been sent fortl
from the office of the state highway
commission.
This means that bill boards or othel
advertisements will have to be post
ed inside of the private property linz
along the highway if erected at all.
No signs of any kind, whether OF
private property or not, may be erected
within two hundred feet Of road corn
ers. Nearly every corner on well
travelled road is plastered with sucl
signs, and they are banned as a danger
to traffic, either by obstructing the
clear view Of the road intersection OF
by distracting the drivers attention.
The short period of time given to
make these changes will necessitate
that the owners expedite the removal
or change of position Of the signs.
Signs Satisfactory.
The new numbering sign system ol
the primary roads is proving highly
satisfactory and is we'll spoken Of by
auto tourists.
The multiplicity of colors and the
fanciful designs which have been In
riotous display on the poles along the
country roads are disregarded by the
highway commission.
Every primary road is duly recorded
and numbered. The crew that does the
numbering travels in three sections
First comes the man who paints the
yellow background; second the man ar.
rives who tacks to the pole or post a
card bearing the proper number for
that location. Behind him comes the
bearer of the stencil who marks the
number in black paint on the yellow
background. ~ .'''.%1 u
For example, If stranger in Du'
buque wanted to 60 to Fort Dodge he
would be told to follow Five" all the
way. That figure is the number of the
Hawkeye highway from Dubuque to
Sioux City.
If he said ''how can get to Algona p
he would be told: Follow five to Fort
Dodge and keep on sixteen from there
to Algona."
"A chart showing the state roads, with
their numbers, is now being gotten out
by the commission. 1t will be for sale
