We have attained a tread which

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 l.ndcr rcar-tirc conditions.
Each tire is run $50 miles daily by
running cxtra-tast.

Not 10000 Miles

Countless reports come to Us on
Miller Cord Tires showing 10000 to
23,0CO miles of service. And tales
OF that kind are ted everywhere, we
learn.
But mileage depends on condi-
tons ON size, care, load and road.
MiIlcrs are Uniform, but they are
not used under uniform conditions.
In ctr factory tests VIC average
1900 miles OH Cords.
But Miller Tire will outlast-
almost always any tire that you
place opposite, r:s matter what it
costs. Compare them under like
conditions, and see what mileage
modern tires can give.
YOU will gain new criterion.
When you buy new car insist
on Miller Tires. Twenty car makers
nov, supply them and there is no
extra charge.

Treasury Assistance.

As the Secretary of the Treasury
pointed out a few days ago to farm
organizations which asked special de-
posits of Cover nment funds in crop sec
lions as a means OF relieving the credit
strain. rediscounts for reserve banks IT
the agricultural area by reserve banks
of other sections are about six times the
amount formerly deposited by the
Treasury to assist this seasonal move
mont. He might have added that dur
ing the eleven months since the Treas
ury lnaugurated its policy of credit cur
tailment reserve notes have expanded
5000 000, 900, rediscounts secured by COM
mercial paper have increased 81, 200, 600
900 and bankers acceptances have
reached an estimated total of $50, 000,-
600. That extraordinary increase in
credit instruments shows that the coun-
try is not in need of more credit, but in
such use of existing supply as shall
promote orderly deflation and restore
something like a normal price basis
again. The outstanding fact is that the
American people will not continue to
pay war prices in peace times.

hercd to. His plan is for all of the
five firms to report their work to the
City, and after property holders have
been invited to ascertain the correct
ness Of the descriptions, for the May
or and City Council to sign them at
their leisure, so that they will be ready
to deliver them on o. before the first

month away. The verifeation of pro-
perry descriptions by property hold

will care to plank down their fees for
the new lease unless they are assured
that leases are correct. There are
just about eleven hundred of these
descriptions to beiverified and in
most instances owners of property
