Commodity Prices Higher.
Dun's Index Indicates

Although tho past fortnight has wit
messed downward price rewsions in
some quarters where buoyancy had
previously been the predominating con.
dltlon, Yet the current month opened
with another new high record in Dun's
index number of wholesale commodity
quotations. Al S253,748 the February
! total disclosed the fourth consecu-
tive monthly increase and an advance
of 2.6 pel cent above the former top
of S247,394 on January /, while there
was q rise Of 15.3 per cent over the
S22Q050 of February I, 1919, when a
substantial decline was shown.
Carrying the comparison back to
the time of the outbreak Of the world
war, or August 1, 1914, when $12o.74o
was shown says Dun's Review, "the
index number is higher by 1t0.1 per

The Brunswick idea is to give all that is possible, all that anyone can give-all that any factory cost can buy.
 The result is tire that Is winning friends the nation over. In The Brunswick mo- torists expect the utmost and get 1t. Never has a tire had greater appeal to the man who appreciates real merit.
 Try one Brunswick. See If you agree with others that here is more for your money. One Brunswick, we are cer- tain, will convince you that you'll never be satisfied until you have all Brunswicks.
Arizona republican., 1920-01-14

In Brunswick Tires, for in- stance, we have included that familiar formula, long in use, which makes the best tire tread that's known.
 And there's certain type of fabric which, by test, is strong CT than all others. Naturally it is in The Brunswick.
 To attain the utmost in tire mileage there are certain rein forcementS = certain extras. We have adopted all.
 To combat the commonest tire troubles, we have adopted the ap- proved side-wan construction, long tested.
 Tn other words, The Brunswick brings you combination of su- presnacies, such as were never pos Eble before.

nded chiefly on policies and standards, on prejudices and knowledge. Brunswick Standards are known the world around. For "A years the House of Brunswick has made only products of the highest grade.
 Every Brunswick product has at- tained and held supremacy. The name always insures superlative values. To build mediocre tire would be unthink- able for such concern, jealous of it's long standing reputation

 industry. A perfect tire is simply a question of care and skill and cost These facts can be verified by testing 200 types of high-grade tires and ana1yz- ing their materials and construction-as the Brunswick laboratories have done. In a super-tire, such as The Bruns- wick, there can be nothing exclusive. Because such tire must be com posite of all that is best No one feature must overshadow others.

When Herbert Hoover Was Boy
He Worked Days and Studied Nights
They Called Him Bert when He Was College Laundryman

took the course in geology. His wife,
Lou Henry Hoover, took the same
course, and is the only woman who
ever graduated in it. She is the
daughter of c. D. Henry, banker of
Montara, Cal. She graduated with
the class of '98. They were married
Feb 10, 1899.
Hoover's methods of working his
way through college did not include
the traditional one Pf waiting on Ia
bles.
when Hoover and | were both fac
ing the problem of financing our stay
in college," says DR. Ray Lyman Will
bur, now president of Sanford Uni
versity, 81 remember we agreed we
ought to have brains enough, if we
were going to succeed later on, to
pay our way in some way that was not
merely manual labor, but would have
some intellectual training associated
with it."
HOOver's bent for organizing showed
itself in the ventures he undertook.
He established a laundry agency, with
paid staff of fellow students to col
lect and distribute the bundles, while
he made his profit by being business
manager.
He also conducted little theatre
~, tAic., ae engaged lecturers and
singers.
Undergraduate finances were in a
muddle at that time No one was re-
sponsible for class expenses. Debts
went unpaid. Hoover voluntarily
took hold of the situation, straight
ened out all accounts and established
a financial system which the students
have followed ever since. He refus-
ed to take any money for this service
but he recommended that the position
should be made paid one for a grad
uate student.
He was conspicuously not ladies'
man, Once, in his senior year, he
took girl to college show; and it
