KEEP OUT OF CAR
TRACKS ADVICE
OF LEE TIRE CO.
Bad for Tires and VIII Rui,
Them Quickly; Tire CoRser-
ration Demands Careful
DriUing.

1 Stay out of the car tracks. with
your automobile, if you want YOUR
tire equipment to last it's allotted span
OF ! four score and ten"
Also stay away from the curbs. if
1 you also want those tires to last as
long as they should. By staying awayl
from the curbs, is meant. parking the
car with sense and precaution. and
not craping a couple of dollars worth
OF rubber off the sides of the tire
every time you stop.
One OF the greatest things that the
tire adJuster has to fight is the faculty
| OF the man with the, car who wears off
lso much rubber on the side of the
tread that the fabric shows and then
wonders why the tire does not last as
long as it should.
There has been a lot written and
told about tire conservation. and MANY
people have asked me why it is so
When we are in the business of SELLING
tires, says the Meadows Vulcanizing
and Supply Company, distributors Of
Lee tires and tubes here.
The reasons are MANY. IF we can
induce the tire user to make his fire
last, as long as it Should he will be p
satisfied customer and will tell his
II we can make Lee tire service So
good that a man will buy nothing else
we have gained our goal.
There is broader aspect. IF
users OF motor cars and those who
are not now using them can be shown
tnat tire expense is not prohibitive. we
are making sales for more motor cars
and of course, more tires.

One OF the greatest problems of
the tire business today is that of cot
ton; Strange as it may seem. with
millions of acres in cotton in ali parts
OF the country, it is difficult to secure
enough-high grade cotton to 90 round
Tires require special kind of cot
ton for both cord and fabric tires and
the use OF inferior cotton is tabooed.
by the makers of good tires.
If this good cotton cannot be Sc
cured, no tires of high quality can be
"The Lee tire builders have con-
tracted for millions of pounds of this
nigh grade cotton and their supplies

The best way to keep repair bills
down and tire equipment up is to eli
inmate driving IN car tracks.

CHAPTER u.

A young nalf-breed Digger woman
who had suffered the loss of the latest
of her numerous progeny two days
prior to Mrs. Cardigan's death, was
installed in the house as nurse to John
Cardigan's son. whom he called Bryce,
the family meme of his mothers peo-
Pile. A Mrs. Tully, widow of Cardi-
gan's first engineer in the mill, was
engaged rs housekeeper and cook; and
with his domestic establishment re-
organized along these simple lines.
John Cardigan turned with added
eagerness to his business affairs, hop
ing between them and his boy to
what seemed to him, in the first pangs
of his loneliness and desolation, the
wreckage of his life.
While Bryce was in swaddling
clothes he was known only to those
females of Sequoia to whom his half
breed foster mother proudly exhibited
him when taking him abroad for an
airing in his perambulator. With his
advent into rompers, however, and the
assumption of his American preroga-
tive of free speech. his father develop
ed the habit of bringing the child
down to the mill Office, to which he
added a playroom that connected with
his private office. Hence, prior to his
second birthday, Bryce OWNED that
his father was closer to him than
motherly Mrs. Tully or the half-breed
girl. Moreover. his father took him on
wonderful journeys which no other
member of the household had even
suggested.
