 You will hear as many varied experiences as there are men to tell them.
 Some dealers offer the tire user an allowance to square" the tire that didn't come through.

SOLID BACKING
NEEDED TO GET
DESIRED ROADS

Residents of Mercer county must
realize the need of concerted ac-
ton in securing for Mercer county
the maximum of oiled roads in
1920. Organizations of business
men and farmers are working in
an effort to secure the needed
money for financing the project.
In a recent meeting of the coun-
ty board of supervisors it was re-
solved that the county should pay
one-fourth of the cost Of oiling all
roads in Mercer county. provided
that the farmers and business men
or any organization should raise
three-fourths. Committees of bust
ness men and farmers are busy
working over the county to secure
the amount needed. In almost
every instance good response is
made to their request, but it is evil
dent that more and larger dona-
tons must be made if Mercer coun-
ty will have As miles of oiled
roads.
Chairmen of the local committees
have expressed qualification for the
liberal way in which they have
ben met but also desire to make it
known that even larger sums OF
money are needed to finance the
gres. task. With the constantly ad-
vancing prices of road oil it is
necessary that the contract for ma
terial might be settled soon if the
county will get the benefit OF pre-
vailing prices.
Owing to the bad roads it has
been impossible for local commit
tees to do much work among the
farmers, but there is nothing to
prevent the farmers and others
from mailing their checks TO D. E.

PIG and CALF.
CLUB PROGRAM
County Superintendent Of Sehsols
Urges MembeFship-Fan
Bureau In Charge.

In letter sent to teachers in
the rural schools Of Mercer county
by G. z. Plat. county superintend-
emit Of schools. 1t is urged that .
larger number Of boys and girls
may be interested in the Pig and
Calf club, which the farm bureau
is planning to organize.
Each teacher is requested to
speak to the children on the sub
ject and enroll the members for the
clubs and send the names to the
county superintendent. Mr.. Platt
is taking great interest in the
work as he realizes the importance
of such clubs to the rural districts.
The work Of enrolling the mem
bers through the schools need not
take any part of the teachers time
outside of school. They are re-
quested to explain the plan to the
pupils and have them get their
parents approval of the undertake
ing to do club work.
P. s. Richey, county farm ad-
wiser, and his assistant, Clyde l..
Dexter, have furnished literature
on the project and will be glad to
explain anything about the club
that is not clear. The fact that the
Mercer county farm bureau and
several of the pure bred organiza-
lions are behind the work insures
its success.
Prize money for the Mercer coun-
ey fair in the Pig club has been
posted by several of the purebred
organizations. 1t is evident from
the interest taken in all county or
CARNATIONS that Mercer county's
Pig and Calf club win be one of
the leading institutions this year.
