1t has never built high grade of
tire for the large car and then CheGpeped
it for the small car.
Allof its unlimited facilitieS-greater
and more widespread than those of
any other rubber manufacturer-have
been devoted from the beginning to
building tires of standard and uniform
quality.
The same quality in the 80 x 3A
inch size as In the largest size tire It
builds.
And nothing less.

treads-Nobby, Chain, UscO and Plain

They are built by experienced work

manufacture of small size clincher tires.
A factory which has produced more
fires eOery year for the last three years
and still is unable to produce them
fast enough.
The good tire dealer-the man who
treats all car OSVnerS GIike-never even
suggests that you be satisfied with Gsry-

What every tire dealer hasn't yet

Some Of the most critical and ex-

to own any type of car made, but who
were led to the small car for logical
reasons.

Why offer 50 cents or dollar as a prize for the best pair of home knit stockings or why offer probably the best prize in the home department for the fanciest patchwork quilt when you would not care to revive either of these methods in your community? Of course, we must have cover and stockings too, but why not have cover that is mere sanitary, that can be washed and is easier to maka than patchwork quilts? They may save a few scraps, it IS true, out they waste more time and strength of nerve than any woman has tc spare these days Why nc: crochet or knit wool blankets that are lighter and warmer than quilts and that can be washed?

Thirty went yeterday, and more are going daily. A large number of them are young men who are attending col lege and who are attracted to the wheat fields by the promise of good wages.

IN THE INTEREST OF
 THE COUNTY FAIRS

Last fall I attended six country fairs which took ne from mountain to sea- shore. During the time and as l had occasion q was in charge of an exhibit from the State Board of Health), l made number of observations which I believe will be of interestand worth while to pass on just at ths time when fair organizations are being formed and are making thier plans for next fall
 Two of the fairs I attended were first-year efforts. three were tie result of two more years, experience while one was the twelfth annual fair.
 Horse racingand carnivals charact- eriized the first year fairs while the oldre fairs-some of them-had passed this stage and were able to have suc- cessful fair without these features.
 One of the twelfth annual fair above referred tosaid to me: "We used to spend thousands ofdollars on horse racing here, and great carnival came and took away thousands of dollars of our peoples money but we can do better than that now. We have learn ed how to have fair, as you see here, and keep our money at home. Since we have cut out horse racing and r1uch of the carnival business, especially those features that are morally in decent and otherwise objectionable, our fair apparently lost none of it's interest, it's crouds are as large, and the attention given to farm displays livestock and poultry exhibits, if any thing has increased.
 It occurred to me that what IS needed and what fairs should recog- nize and encourage is that farms be made to grow, as far as possible and as far as their soil is adaptablefi every thing needed on the farm, In the home. and things having a market able value. The all-round farm IS in- dependent; prices may soar as hign as they please, but full sl'1okehouse we'll stored pantry and packed crib laugh the high cost of living Ill the face.
