The fact that tire costs r largely
dependent upon tubes is frequently
overlooked. Though the motorist has
learned to shun ''gyp" and mo
name tires by reason of bitter ex
p~erience along the roads, a bargain
price frequently cause him to buy
an inferior tube. Cheap and unbrand-
ed tubes will handicap any casing.
Leaky tubes ruin millions Of tires
annually through u~nderinflation. Or.
dinarily the motorist blames his cas-.
ings for troubles for which his tubes
are almost entirely responsible.
On the other hand. good tubes
enable a tire to deliver the maximum
mileage which the maker built into
it. The best casing Is at the mercy
Of q poor tube. AS the tube repre-
sents a small sum in comparison
to the cost Of any standard casing
It is frequent the part ofeconomy
to throw away inferior and worn
out tubes. The purpose of the tube
is to hold air. When 1t fails in this

SALE OF TRACTS
 BY LOTTERY HAS
 UNUSUAL ENDING

CHEYENNE, Wyo.-All persons who filed applications for tracts of the 10000 acres of government land which was to have been disposed of by lottery here on December 23 will be enabled to have just what they wanted without drawing straws" for the desirable portions, this condition being due to the fact that there were not enough applica- tions filed to cause any contests. l With the stockmen busy trying to save their herds from total ex- termination during the stormy sea- son, and with a lack of understand ing on the part of many persons as to the procedure to be followed, not as many responses were received as had been expected. Applications were received for approximately 5000 acres, each bidder being held to maximum of 160 acres. The state land board will meet soon to determine whether the remainder of the tract shall be disposed of by lottery, and it is likely that the plan will be given another trial.
 All persons taking this land must agree to pay at the rate of not less than S15 an acre for it. After the land has been thoroughly advertised throughout the state, it will be as- signed by lot. The numbers of all applicants will be placed in re- ,ceptacle and the board members will draw one out at time, the applications being given new num- bers as they are drawn. In view
 of the fact that the price of land scrip is now worth from $17 to $25 an acre, the price fixed by the state lseems unusually attractive.
 This is the first time in the his tory of the state that the lottery
 method has been used in disposing of public lands. It is also the first ltiune that the state has fixed the
 acreage at so small an area.

CASH PLENTIFUL DEMOS DECLARES
 IN TEXAS TOWNS

Tom Smith, of the Southern ho- tel, is in receipt of a letter from John Demos, in which the former Nenanaite, who is now in Ranger, Texas, writes that things are boom ing in the Lone Star state.
 "Just few lines," he says, "to let you know how this burg looks to me. To start with, there is a lot of money here. Dawson and Fairbanks are pikers alongside of this layout. For instance, your building would bring s200,o00 here easily, and the chances are there would be a couple of shooting af- fairs in the mad rush to buy it at that price. You can sell anything lot of buyers.
 Rents are awful high, store rooms renting for from $500 to $1 1,5O0 per month. This is the busi- est place I ever saw. Business and money everywhere you turn. Open gambling with the coin on the table no checks used. Grub prices the same as in Alaska, with 75 percent added. Rooms like those of yours in the Southern from s3 to s5 per night. For baths you use your pocket handkerchief-they have no tubs.
 , "The drinking water is bum, but outside of that the climate is not so bad. The Tavern cafe would bring from s5O,Ooo to s75,OOO easy and no questions asked. If you wanted to buy the lease on a place like the Silver Moon, it would cost you from $6,OOO to s8,OOO.
 Excitement every day. Lots of shooting. Open season every day. A week ago today there were seven shot up, without five deaths. Hardly a day without someone getting it and the guy who does the shooting generally gets out on $500 to s2,o0o bail. And yet, if you steal horse or loaf of bread you get killed or ten years. If you kill a man ana make a good clean job of it, you gc free. ..:.. ...

The Presidents Cabinet

The very biggest job that a presi-
dent has to do in the whole four
wears OF his term, is to appoint his
cabinet The success OF a business
manager depends largely on getting
the right kind of men as heads off
departments. SO a president stands
or falls largely as the result OF abil-
ity or inability to pick the right
Kind of subordinates.
The head of big corporation of
ten does not seem to work hard.
But by his unerring Judgement of
human capacity, he gets around
him men OF first class ability and
each department runs as well as If
he tried to do it himself. The head
OF department in big business
needs to be practically as able a
man AS his chief executive.
So with the president. If he
picks men of the front rank of
brains and executive capacity. the
government is going to run eff
ciently and thousand causes of
friction that irritate the people will
be removed
Those who surround the presi-
dent need to be men who feel the
needs of the times and keenly real
ize the difficulties under which the
public are struggling. The sweep
ing results of the election Were due
TO popular restiveness under high
taxation and other burdens created
by the war. The successfuls politi-
cal leaders of the the next few years
will not be those who feel that
these troubles are imaginary or
cant be helped. They must under.
stand that the people peremptorily
demand relief. and will insist that
some positive results be achieved
So the men who form President
Harding's cabinet must be men
capable of thinking out practical
solutions for these troubles that
will work in actual daily life The
problems now confronting the ma
tion are the most complicated that
the government ever faced. 1t needs
the biggest men in the nation to
solve them

Fraternal Societies

Fraternal societies in many places
report a great increase of member
ship, and many OF them holding ex-
ira sessions to keep up with the
work.
In hard times many people lei.
society memberships lapse. More
prosperous conditions mean that
more people can keep up dues and
provide protection for themselves
and families.
Joining good fraternal society
is with many men first step to-
wards better citizenship. Many
thoughtless young fellows never
previously felt that they had any
civic duties, realize the obligation
they owe to the community, when
they join some order that empha-
sizes good citizenship. When they
associate themselves with in, dus-
trious and subtantial men they
set standard for them to live
up to.

Reducing raxaien

During the campaign Democratic
orators bitterly assailed the Repub-
lican party for it's failure to reduce
taxation. Anyone would thing that
all the Republican Congress had to
do was to lower the taxes. and the
burden would be lifted
But according to recommendations
of treasury officials, there can be
no rductions of taxes for least
three years. No matter what econ
omies are adopted. it is believed by
the treasury department that it
will cost at least $4,000 OOO0,OOO annual
~ to meet the needs of the govern
nent for the period named: About
$1,000 100000 in victory notes, war
savings securities and treasury GER
tificates must he met within that
period.
When therefore the people find
that their tax bill is not cut down,
they must blame the Republican
party. The fault is that OF the Dem
ocratic administration, in not put
ting the management OF the war in
the hands of competent business
people They NEEDED men capable If
running the biggest industrial cor
poration in the country.
Instead of Immediately reOrganiz-
ing the departments on modern
basis to meet the supreme emer-
gency. they continued along the old
red tape methods, in spite OF vehe-
inent protest of business men who
watched the bungling work. Lack

The Paper Pinch

The consumption of news print
paper increased from three pounds
per capita in 1880, to SO pounds in
1919. The use of no leading textile
fabric has gained SO fast as that.
In addition there has been an
enormous increase in use of paper
for cartons holding al kinds Of ar
ticles. This reduces the supply
available of raw material for max
ing paper.
A well equipped paper mill in

long time to get it ready to operate.
So it will take long time for the

DEVELOPMENT PRO-
 DRESSING RAPIDLY
Work Progresses at the Five Wells Now Being Operated. New Oper-
 atiOns in Early Prospect

Manager Aiken, who has been i'll in Phoenix for some weeks past, is expected ir Holbrook at any time. Some casing was sent out to the we'll during the week and Driller Jim Wolfe reports everything is good shape to go ahead.
 The Black Canyon we'll, where some very good show ings have been encountered at shallow at depth, is mak- ing steady progress.
 Considering the develop ment now being accomplish ed and the fact that new rigs may be expected in the near future; together with the showings already en- countered in this field it is no wonder, that the pessi- mist finds no home in Hol- brook.
 The plans of the Hopi Company have not as yet been made public but it is a reasonable assumption that this we'll will be completed during the summer.
 Five rigs working, several more in prospect, and the end not yet as regards interest ing of new capital creates a situation that must needs be satisfactory to say the least.
