TWO NOTABLE CITIZENS
DHILADELPHIA citizenship suHerc

DHILADELPHlA citizenship suffered
i heavy loss yesterday in the deaths
of Henry La Barre Jayne and Wilmer
Atkinson Both had been cOnSpicuously
successful in their respective lines ot
business Cndeavor. but it was III the
high minded attitude that each held
toward his civic duties and his will
ingness to perform these obligations
even at some personal sacrihc" that
their value to the community lay: to
the present generation for what they
accomplished and to the coming gen
GRAFTON by the force of example.
1t was characteristic of the entire
business and personal life of Wilmer
Atkinson that he originated tho fair e
play" notice, a thing which had great
influence in ESTABLISHING the entente
cordiale between advertiser and pur-
chaser. He was a leading spirit in the
Armstrong Association. which has be
friended the negro and helped to solve
many of the problems of their eco
nomic life.
Doctor jayne was always to be found
actively on the side of political reform.
He devoted much effort 10 tho promo =
ton of the University Extension So
ciety, of which he was president, and
to many charitable organizations, to
which he gave largely of his time and
of his means.
II is men of this type who make a
city great. Both realized to the full the
obligations of citizenship and sought to
perform these duties to the last detail
and jealously to safeguard their own
political rights and the rights Of others
The city is the poorer for their loss but
as in the case of all who give of them
selves and of their substance in order
that those less fortunately placed than
they might have fighting chance in
life. the world is the better for their
having lived.

WILSON is FENCING FOR

The Presidents Effort to Jockey the
Republican Party Into False
Position LIKELY to Defeat Itself

TT Is becoming increasingly evident
that the President is doing his best
to jockey thc Republican party into a
position of irrcconCilablc hostility to
the peace treaty in order that he may
claim for his own party the distinction
of being its only friend.
HIS methods do greater credit TO his
political persistence than to his iudg
mrnt either as Il party manager or rs
Il friend of the I,cagu" of Nations.
\ man skilled in diplomacy would not
have written the letter which President
Wilson dispatched to the chairman of
an Oregon county Democratic commit
tee last Sunday. He would have known
that the treaty cannot be ratified by
the votes of the senator's of one party
alone, and that il must have the sup
port of members Of both parties.
Yet the President writes: Let us
prove to our late associates in the war
that at any rate the great majority
party of the nation. the party which
expresses the true hopes and purposes
of the people of the country. intends TO
keep faithlwith them in peace rs well
as in war.

TIRES CONSUME.
COTTON CROP
Nearly Four Per Cent Of
Worlds 1920 Production
Goes to Pneumatics.

Nearly per cent of the worlds
cotton production for 1890 will be
used in the manufacture of pneu-
matte automobile <lres--a total con-
sumption of approximately 100000
bales.
The 1920 production of tires in the
United States should approximate
IO.00O,GOe to equip nearly 1900, 900
new cars and to maintain about H.
600. 900 now in operation.
Cotton promises to remain indefi-
nitely as indispensable in tire. mah.
ing as rubber.
Many motorists wonder how much
cotton goes into the manufacture
Of pneumatics. Tires now contain
an average of four pounds--an in
crease OF one pound due to the in
creasing number OF pneumatic truck
tires, which require more cotton be-
cause of their size. Much OF the cot
ton used Is Egyptian or Peruvian
The larger companies use the cream
OF the worlds crops-the one and
ohe-eighth inch staple or better. A
few of the larger companies will
make more than half the years out
put-the remainder will be divided
among more than $50 smaller con-
Germs.
To keep pace with demand. the
Goodyear company is expanding OPP
erations in it's textile plants. The
mills at Goodyear Conn, will be en-
larged to house 10000 new spindles.
