WATCH YOUR TIRES
FOR FABRIC BREAKS
"Shoes" of Motor Cars Wear
Longer II Drivers Avoid
Stones and Bumps.

Have you ever had a blowout when
your car was standing still, after COM
Ing from a drive on a smooth ieVei
road?
|. Or have you had the experience OF
going out to your garage and nndlhs
a perfectly fiat tire? 1t was all right
when you drove in the evening before
Something had happened to II over
night.
You removed the tire and TUBE
found the tube torn and a clean break
on the inside fabric OF the tire.
What caused the fabric break?
1t is very probable that 1t was
started a week or even a month be-
fore. when you ran over brick
rut, or a hole In the street. whlle
running at high speed.
Then, again, IL may have Deeh
caused when, in turning arouhu IN
the street. you allowed the front or
rear wheel OF the car to bang INTO inc
curbing. or course, this Is more ike
ly to happen IL the brakes are not In
good working order.
At first the break may be small
but the broken threads or the fabric
at the INJURY cnale eaCh o'""i
the tire Is in use, setting up an IN
ternal friction that quickly causes
the break to enlarge.
The other piles soon break, the TUBE
Is pinched and a blowout results. Gen
rally this occures some time aiter
he original break and when circum-
tances point to no apparent cause.
1t Is unfortunate that the brulse or
fabric break Is seldom manifested Dy
any indication on the OUTSIDE OF the
tire, for the tough tread rubber
stretches when the tire strikes the
stone or curb, but the fabric can
stretch only a certain limit ana when
taxed beyond that point VIII brcak'
often only the innermost ply Is IN
jured.
Consequently 1t is good practice
carefully to examine the inside OF
your tires for fabric breaks every
time they are removed from the rim
or have your service station dealer do
II for YOU whenever he removes your
tires.
Sometimes small fabric break
hat cannot be found by ordinary ex-
,mination causes tube puncture-
'hese small breaks may be located ~
his manner: Mark the position. OF
the valve at the mark and measpre'
with the tube around the tire. Teus
the puncture in the tube locates TUG
break in the fabric.

REUNION OF JOHNNY
REBS" IS DISCUSSED
DO COLUNBiAaS WANT THOSE
WHO WORE GRAY TO MEET
HERE ON JULY THIRD?

Thomas Fl. Williams, secretary OF
the Leonidas Polk Bivouac and Will
liam Henry Trousdale Camp Of Con
federate veterans has written The
Herald a letter for publication CON
corning the question Of inviting Con
federate veterans to meet in Column
bia for an annual reunion on July 3.
The question was brought up at the
last meeting of the Bivouac and for
the reasons stated by Mr.. Williams in
his letter, the invitation was not ex-
tended. 1t is believed, however that
the ladies of the U. d. G. and other
patriotic ganizatonss of the city
will not let pass opportunity of having
as Columbia's guests these gray hair
ed boys of 81 who served unselfishly
in the "lost cause"
Mr.. Williams letter in full follows:
Editor of The Herald:
The members Of the Leonidas Polk
Bivouac and William Henry Trous-
dale Camp are not able to properly
care for the veterans, whom they
would be pleased to invite to Column
bia without the cooperation of 1.-THE
citizens Of Columbia and Maury coun-
ty, and for that reason preferred to-
wait until the sentiment of the people
could be ascertained, and wether or
not we could count on their support.
Also we wished to consult with the
Daughters Of the Confederacy (Maury
and Winnie Davis Chapters) as to
whether it would meet their approval
and if they would undertake the task
Of getting up the dinner for the occa-
sion. ! woulG be pleased if you would
give as much publicity to the matter
as you may think proper this month.
AT our next regular meeting, on the
first Monday in May, the question will
be discussed and reports made. and if
we have the proper encouragement
the bivouac will be glad to extend the
invitation.

PREHISTORIC DAYS

There used to be a time when the
good old state of North Dakota had a
crew of old experienced "salts" at its
helm. These were men who sailed the
seas of political life for years. Men
who understood how the affears of
the state should be run; men who had
the interests of the farmers, the
who understood how the affairs of
the state at heart, and who were
ready to sacrifice their own time and
money to see that their tasks were
carried out. This good old ship sail
ed the deep this way for many years,
weathering the toughest of gales and
putting into port with only a few
minor scratches upon her otherwise
unscratched polish. After few days
mending she was as able ship of
state as ever spread its wings before
the wind.
But there came time when certain
outcasts joined forces and sought to
rob and pillage this good old ship.
Men, who, failing to make success in
life by honest hard work, got togeth-
err, rugged up an old fishing vessel and
brought forth their lines bated for
suckers. Brightly painted Big Bust
ness was fastened on the end of their
hooks, and certain mechanisms within
this so-seemed delicious bait made it
appear to be real. Suckers began to
draw this bait in and were pulled
over the side. of the boat, forced to
pay SIG ransom and were told of"the
beauties Of the dawn of new day.
Other suckers seeing this also began
to flock in great schools about the
boat. Nets were lowered and they
we're scooped in by the bushels, forced
to pay ransom and the same old fairy
tale was repeated. This continued for
some years. Once in a while wise
old bass from foreign waters would
bite on this hook, be hauled over the
edge, but if the King of the Pirates,
A. C. Townley happened to see him,
he would order him placed in glass
bowl with all the comforts to be OBJ
tanned out of life. This pillaging last
ed for years. The Good Old Ship
North Dakota was run on a rock and
burned. A new crew and ship appear
ed on the scene and a Red Flag was
hoisted in the place of the Red, White
and Blue. Wharf thieves, pirates and
other bad types, of men applied for
jobs and we're readily accepted.
This ship sailed' the seas for six
years, implanted, uncared for and is
fast being eaten by worms. Leaks
are slowly springing forth, gaining
momentum as days pass. The pirates
are preparing to launch the life boats
with their precious cargo of gold
about June 80, 1920. A fast torpedo
boat, William LANCER, has been mo-
testing them for some time and the
pirates realize their wrong doings and
are preparing to skip to lonely islands
in mid-ocean in preference to standing
trial before a jury of American citi-
zens.
A short story of the .nonpartisan
league put forth in as few facts as
possible.
The local U. c. T. boys ask US to
assure the merchants who made it
possible for them to go that the ad-
vertising given Valley City was worth
considerable and that the boys from
Valley City can have the 1922 conven-

We do not hear much about legisla-
tive candidates from the thirty-eighth
district these days, but we do know
that L. P. Langemo is running for the
house of representatives against C. j.
Olson who has so ably misrepresented
the district for the past two years.
Mr.. Langemo gives us the impression
that if he is elected he will at least
vote his own honest convictions in
stead of letting somebody else do it
for HMM other words he would re-
fuse to be rubber stamp. The people
of the thirty-eighth district would be
wise if they made a change and voted
for Mr.. Langemo. Subserviency to
| boss dictation does not 60 in public
officials and we have had too much of
it in the past from the district through
| the present representative.
From all over the state comes word
of the splendid progress being made
by the candidates on the ticket select
ed at Minot to combat the state So
cialist ticket, and it looks rosy for a
victory all along the line. The candi-
dates are being greeted by large and
enthusiastic crowds-the Fargo morn
ing daily says this is not so-and the
the people seem to be awakening to
the fact that something has been done
to them by the bunch in power. CAL
omel and sulphate of magnesium are
not now needed to clear the vision of
the voters-they have gotten their
tax receipts and those have opened
their eyes. The Townley crowd are
claiming from twenty to thirty thous-
and majority on June 30. Two years
ago they claimed the same amount
and got less than ten. If the state
does the same thing this year we
ought to get comfortable majority
against the socialists.
1t is astonishing how satisfied some
people are with the results Of the po-
litical campaign now going on in this
state. Bishop Lenke says that the
league will win out on June 80 by
from twenty to thirty thousand ma
jority while Gov. Frazier says he nev-
er saw people so much interested in
the campaign than they are now, and
that he is having larger crowds than
at any time during the past four
years. The opposition is not saying
much, but predict that the LANCER
ticket will be elected. Mr.. Lemke and
Mr.. Frazier say that the anti Townley
ticket nominees are drawing small
crowds while the campaign managers
for the ants say that the boys are
having big crowds-and there you are.
We do know that LANCER drew not
less than a 1900. audience here last
winter and that every place he speaks
he is met by large and enthusiastic
crowds. Who is telling the truth?
