Five Agents Are
 Named for the
 UtilitOr Tractors

F. 0. Williams and II. Ragan of the Bernhardt Motor company have returned from Little Rock, where they attended the tractor school. demonstrating the Utilitor one-man tractor, for which the Bernhardt company has exclusive state distribu- ton rights. w. c. Bair, from the midwest factory at Indianapolis, demonstrated the superior points, claimed for the ''lttle giant" as the Utilitor is called, and the machine was so well thought of by the 1,500 farmers and others attending the school that many dealers made appli cation for county rights. Five were named-Lincoln Auto company, Star City, for Lincoln; Can't Auto com pahy, for Columbia; R. M. Randolph Auto company. Philadelphia, for Clark; Delight Lumber company, De- tight, for Pike; and G. R. Rogers, Des Arc, for Prairie county. The Utilitor was ranked among the first of the many makes of tractors dem onstrated, Mr. Williams says. and he was very gratified at the favor able impression made by this mach inc.
 MT. Williams leaves Tuesday for Russellville, where a tractor school will be conducted under the super vision of the Second District Agri- cultural school faculty. The Utili- tor and 19 other tractors will be demonstrated.
 These schools are more than mere demonstrations of tractors, as disin- terested agriculturists explain how tractors can be used to advantage in different sections and in different work. and farmers obtain informa- tion enabling them to select the trac- tor best adapted to their needs.

 Mysticism, Coming to the Orpheo
 For One Week, Starting Tomorrow


 In the point of novelty, comedy, music and all the other things that go to make up we'll balanced bill, the new show, opening at the Orpheo Monday, matinee bids fair to hold it's head up among any of the good bills that have appeared there recent ly.
 Headline honors fall to Anna Eva Fay, called the High Priestess of Mysticism" and judging from her astonishing mental feats, the title is justly conferred. Briefly, she works as follows: Anyone in the audience may write question on piece of paper and put it in his or her pock- ct. The question may be about any thing that can be answered from the public stage. Miss Fay then not

 Other acts on the bill are: Epes and Dutton describe themselves as "Top Notchers of Versatility" These two chaps are singing comedians, dancers, equilibrists and acrobats They are really four acts in one, Rene Bell and Ollie Wood in Pads and Fancies from Danceland." :" Photoplay: Corinne Griffith in "Hu- man Collateral"

EVERYBODY LIKES BOX BALL.

The American Box Pall parlors, at 113 Main street, which recently were opened by J. w. Armfield and Major Elkins, are proving quite an attrac- tion to the people of Pine Bluff. This new bowling game combines great in- terest with healthy and vigorous ex- ercise. Box ball is played with a lighter ball than the ordinary game of ten. pins, the pins being set at the front of the alley operated by the player. This is in itself an in- teresting feature. No vexatious de- lay waiting for the pin boy to do his work is caused. The manage ment of the parlor is making arrange ments to give some exquisite prizes. which will go to the most skillful and persistent players. They also propose very shortly to begin the organization of clubs for a league. This will further the "Box Ball craze" in this city. Major Elkins
 is always ready and pleased to fully explain to anyone the first points of the game and proposes to run the establishment in clean, orderly manner.

We Insist on This

There are three requirements
which Miller Tires must meet
First, they must average greater
mileage, type for type. than any
rival tire.
We constantly prove this. Eight
machines in our factory run two
tires each under rear-tire conditions.
Each tire is run $50 miles daily by
running extra-fast.
The Pioche record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1908-1925, 1920-05-14

Miller Treads, by our standard.
must outwear the balance OF the tire.
We have attained tread which
outwears rivals by Is per cent.
Every day our tread stock is vul-
canized, then tested, in our labora-
tory. We permit no variation.
Not a single Miller Tire with
these new-grade treads has ever
come back with the tread gone.
The Pioche record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1908-1925, 1920-05-14
Every Tire Signed

We insist that Millers must b
uniform. Each tire is signed. A
record is kept Of the maker. the I'M
spector and the process.
If a tire comes back for ADJUST
ment we learn the reason. If the
workman is at fault he is penalized.
If the inspector overlooked a flaw
he is held responsible. If any proc
ess or material is at fault, we cor
rect it.
After years of this checking we've
attained uniform tires. There are
whole large cities from which not .
Miller Tire came back last year.

Tire Prices
Some False Ideas About Them

Should an extra price bay an extra
GRADE tire?
1t should not. Any frst-grade
tire should be built as well as tire
of that type can be built.
Cord Tires cost more than Fab
RIGS, and are worth the extra price.
Men who figure cost per mile are
coming to Cord Tires.
But any tire, Cord or Fabric.
should be built for the utmost ser
vice which that type can give.

Some Men Over-Pay

Some men pay extra prices. ex-
pecting extra mileage. Some pay
under prices for an under-grade, and
hope to save in that way.
Both are wrong. There may be
exceptions - there are always freak
tires. But countless tests have
proved that Miller Tires at Miller

by day and week by week, we are
guarding the Miller supremacy.

But mileage depends on condi-

Millers are uniform, but they are
not used under uniform conditions.
In our factory tests we average
