TIRES NOT GUARANTEED
IF TRUCK OVERLOADED

Fur the benefit Of those who are prone
TO overlooking trucks it might be peril
nent to say that the tires of trucks are
not guaranteed by the truck manufac-
turer. but by the tire manufacturer, and
he absolutely will no- stand back OF his
tires il the truck is overloaded. Incl
dentaliy the tires will be one of the, first
parts of the truck to give out under
overlooking abuse.
The standard guarantee given by
truck manufacturers covers the replace
ment of parts which prove defective
not which wear out. but which break
through some defect. Practically all
trucks have a capacity plate in some
prominent place, giving the rated ca
pacity and speed. and warning the
owner that the guarantee is void if
the truck is overloaded or overspeeded.
The manufacturers guarantee covers
a period of three months in the most in
stances. though in some it is one year,
but never more than that Even if the
manufacturer does replace parts that
give out through overlooking during the
guarantee period. after that period has

Total Amount Spent by States.

tai amount spent for Lincoln high
way improvement by all of the states
crossed by the road between the two
coasts in 1914 was less than the
amount spent on the work in four sep
arate states during the past year. The
association also points out that con-
tracts covering a total OF 1898 miles
of permanent improvement were let in
1919 in seven of the states traversed
by the route, the total amount of
these contracts aggregating an addi-
provided and in addition to that ac-
tually expended for work completed
in 1919. It will thus be seen that to-
tai financing for improvement during
the past year has amounted to close
to $4,000. 900. only about a million
short of the total actual expenditures

WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE
Small Boy Satified That the Bill for
His Three Days Fun Was Not
Exorbitant.

At last little Freddy was allowed to-
visit grandpa all alone. They were
great friends, and had long waited for
the great day.
Freddy had the time Of his life.
Grandpa saw that he wanted for
nothing. The small boy ate more
cream buns in those three days than
he would otherwise have done in three
years, while his pockets bulged ali the
time with candies.
But there comes an end to every
thing, and Freddy went home again,
pale yellow of complexion, and languid
and feverish. Mother promptly sent
for the doctor, who ordered him to
bed, and sent him some very unpleas-
ant but doubtless healing medicine.
Grandpa came next day and was
permitted to creep upstairs to see how
the sufferer was faring. He found the
small boy lying wan and pale on his
pillow, but received a watery smile as
welcome.
"Oh, grandpa" said the weak little
voice, i've been awfully bad-but IL
was worth it."

In order to preserve the delicate
meteorological instruments on the
dome Of the federal building in Chi
cago from the effects Of weather and
to insure their operation at all times,
1t is necessary for them to be cleaned
and oiled every day, especially in the
case of the revolving wind recorder,
which surmounts the top of the steel
pole on the highest point of the dome.
The top of this pole is about 300 feet
high. To attend to this work, Harry
Brostoff, wearing a gas mask, has to
climb the pole by means of steel
ladder every morning in all kinds OF
weather. This task is particularly
difficult and hazardous on stormy or

thoughts of your own to present to
God, take the thoughts and words
which he himself has given in his
book. Such prayers are better than
any we can formulate, and have the
assurance of an answer because they
are inspired of the Holy Spirit.
In the verses quoted above we have
an excellent example of scripture
prayer.
Astounding Love.
To begin with, Paul prays that "your
love may abound" There was some
dissension among the Philippian Chris
tians to whom he was writing, and he
was greatly DESTROYS that it might be
healed. The cure for it would be
new access of love. But how we need
this same heavenly blessing! 1t is
true that to be Christian at all
means to love, but the apostle prays
that love may abound, overflow, and
that it may abound more and more.
As an old writer has put T.: "The ire
in the apostle never says, Enough"
Paul goes on to pray that love may
abound sin knowledge" The knowl-
edge referred to is spiritual knowl-
edge, and at once we see that such
knowledge is the fruit of love. In
the spiritual realm it is love
that knows, rather than intellect, al
though, of course, intellect has Its
place. But it is suggested that, as Je-
sus said, Except man be born again
he cannot see." This explains why
some old man or woman who scarcely
knows how to spell may be able to
teach the learned the ways of God.
Judgment" also, is included in this
prayer. 1t may be said that 'knowl-
edge deals with general principles
and Judgment with their practical
application. Such insight leads US to
distinguish things that differ so that
we not only discern between the good
and the bad, but between the good ana
the better, the excellent and the best.
What great need there is of such
Judgment" today! And let us not
forget it is the fruit of love, for only
those who have an affection for the
best things are keen to discern them.
The result of love which abounds In
knowledge and all judgment will be,
that they will be sincere and without
offense." The word for sincere con-
veys the thought of clearness, freedom
from complications, transparency. 10
be void of offense implies that we have
no stumbling block within us to the
sway of the gospel, and that we efrer
no stumbling block by our life before
men.
A Lost Hope.
Tt is especially to be noted that we
are to be sincere and void OF ofense
"till the day of Christ" so that we
may pass under the eye Of the judge
unashamed. What an incentive to be-
levers is thus furnished by the coming
of the Lordl Well may we reiterate
the words of Prof. A. T. Robertson:
SIT is a pity that so many modern
Christians have lost any real JOY in
this blessed hope and no longer look
for the coming of Jesus to claim his
own"
Finally, Paul prays they may be
"flled with the fruits Of righteousness,
which are by Jesus Christ" Note that
all are to be good, not only in mega
tive sense, but also in a positive one.
The end of it all will be "the glory
and praise of Cod" This is the true
goal and end of all our blessings ana
labors. And it will be brought about
as men see realized in us such pray
er as that Of Paul.
May we offer this prayer, both Id
private and public!
