BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR BRAKES

Have you ever wondered why it was
that one of your tires wore out much
faster than the other?
In nine case out Of ten the reason
is that the brakes do not take hold
equally hard on both wheels One is
Iooser than the other, with the result
that one of the wheels spins while
the other grips the road. The tire
that spins is worn out as though it
was held against a grindstone.
If the brakes are adjusted so that
both wheels are held the same, neither
tire will be subjected to undue strain,
danger of the car skidding. The cost
OF having brakes adjusted properly is
trfing in comparison with the amount
saved.
In applying the brakes, the motor
ist should always take care to retard
the cars motion gradually. Jamming
on the brakes suddenly and bringing
the car to a sudden halt grinds and
burns the tires causing great damage
to the tread. One sudden application
of the brakes often causes more dam
age than 5000 miles of normal usage.
Sometimes it is Of course impossi-
BILE to avoid bringing the car to a sud
den stop, but there are many times
when every motorist does it needless

that he married his wife under pres

He gives as a reason for seeking an
annulment of his marriage that his
wife sis too old and that he never
liked her." Chancellor Hugh H. Tate
took the case under advisement.
Mrs. Sutton did not appear to make
answer to the bill. She is understood
to be a nonresident and notice was
served by publication. Several wit
nesses stated that they did not know
her whereabouts.

ly. He runs along at fast rate of
speed and then, just before he wants
to slow down, he steps with full force
on the brake. By putting on the brake
gradually, the car would be slowed
down normally and no damage would
be done TO tires.

NOT STRONG FOR THEM
Editor Kellogg Is Another Who
Thinks That the Chauiauqua Man
agemcnt should Pay Its Own
Way.

The contract for the Chautauqua
next year has been Cancelled, we are
informed. We heartily approve OF
this good business move, especially
since a number of those who have
heretofore been "guarantors," that the
Chautauqua company would make
good money, have failed to make
good their parts of the ever recurring
deficit, and several who have been
creditors Of the promoters, have had
their bills cut considerably, making
them dig up more than many of the
I "guarantors' who did pay their pro
rata share of the loss, and, OF course.
a whole lot more than those who paid
nothing. The cancellation of the con-
tract is more to be appreciated on the
grounds we have always taken--that
is to say, that If the Chautauqua wish
ed to do business here, let it come on
its own risk of gain or loss, but more
particularly have we contended that
any enterprise which takes a big wad
Of cash out of the community and
leaves nothing to show for it, should
be taboo until we have made many
necessary improvem ents in our town.
There will be permanent gain from
such policy, and we will adhere to it,

beggars OF all descriptions to the con-
trary. Courier.
