What makes a tire 60 bad
when it looks as sound
as new!
as new.

n COUNTRY ROAD No garage or re-
4 A pair shop within call A time
perhaps when every minute counts! A
blowout comes And you thought the
tire was as sound as new!
What IS it that causes such tire to
go bad? Why IS there this constant
threat Of tire trouble?
A few years ago four tire experts in
the Therrhoid Rubber Company de.
cided to find .eat.a They learned that
theMhele life Of tire hinges onthe
evenness with which the necessary
ses strengthening materials are mixed with
s.slle pure rubber gum s+sss, sasssssss.Ss
Iftheresulting compound is filled with
''lumpy" formations. the tire rapidly
wealtens and blows out" on the road.
IF the compound is blended evenly and
smoothly, the result is greatly increased
wear.

Remarkable new rubber compound

Remarkable new rubber compound
Studying the problem further, the
Thermoid scientists at last perfected
Crolide-a rubber compound that re-
duces 'lumpy" formations to a mini
mum-that eliminates premature tire
troubles. This eVen-texture rubber
does not weaken with the stretching
and straining that goes on inside tire.
Crolide Compound is today used exclusively
in the manufacture of Thernoid Tires. Either
the Cord or Fabric type gives maximum mile
age under all road and weather conditions.
We have compared the Thermoid Tire care
fully, point BY point. with other tires on the
market today, and We confidently believe that
10 other tise compares with it for service and
durability.
You are invited TO cali and see these new
tires for yourself-also the famous crolids

PAMPA MAN WILL BUY
A FARM NEAR HERE

J. v. White, Of Pampa was in Lub.
book last week looking for a location.
Having been interested by the schools
here, Mr.. White came to see our town,
and after talking with our farmers
and real estate dealers he has decid-
ed 10 make this his home, and will
probably buy farm here. The
possibilities Of Lubbock county are
unlimited and diversified farming Is
bringing people here from places
where only one crop can be raised
profitably. We are glad TO have Mr..
White locate here. and hope he will
continue to speak so favorabIy Of
our town.

and its body like that Of no living
animal, for It's legs, ten in number,
were set onto the lower end Of its
neck and stood out In a circle. On
each foot were five'toes and growing
on TO each toe was a small spook like
the larger one. Fifty little spooks,
with cleaning eyes and grinning
mouths glared az Fiz and Francois,

head on one end Of her neck and ten
legs on the other end, bent nearer

feel The heat from her fiery eyes.
They dared not turn their back 10

Stop immigration
Till We Know
What We Want

One Of the leading Prohibition pa
pers Of the United States reads as
follows with the vital question Of
immigration.
immigration into the United States
should be stopped and stopped now.
We don't want three per cent or
onc-haf OF one per cent until we
have had time 20 survey the situation.
Ninc-tenths Of our troubles at the
present time are directly traceable
which should never have been allow
ed. The trouble with many Of our
immigrants has been that they
brought over their noses and ears
and fingers and toes but left their
hearts on the other side. The ,nly
KIND n immigrant who Is worth any
thing 10 America Is the kind who
comes over giblets and all II he
can't bring his heart as well as his
liver, let him stay at home
AT the present time thousands Of
poor people worthy Of all sympathy
and pity, brutalized and almost de-
humanibed by centuries Of oppres-
sion. poverty and ignorance, are vom-
ting forth a stream of anti-Ameri-
canism from the third class Of every
passenger steamer approaching our
shores These people come to the
port Of departure five days before
the ship sails. They are bathed, de-
loused, vaccinated. their heads search
ed for coolies and then loaded on the
ship to come TO America--and parade
against prohibition.
No one disputes the value to US
OF the contributions Of immigrants
20 our history and progress, but the
good is today being outweighed by
the vaster deal OF evil.
II is also now a pertinent question
TO ask Has not the blood Of the
old American stock been sufficiently
The principles from
which have grown our greatness and
were the gift of the old
lime American and today that AM
erican sees his children crowded out
n land--yes, even out Of existence /
Itself. He sees the prejudices Of ev-
Try racial element catered TO except |
ais own. He himself Is despised as
/ Puritan and "nativist." Now is
he time to decide whether in the next |
generation we shall still have an Am
,rica or a strange, new nation Of
nongrel principles.

M AND FRANCOIS
AND 81 SPOOkS


(By Annellc Greonl
FL and Francois were "a little boy
and a little girl, who lived near the
foot " "A high mountain. They were
both eight years old, FOR they were
twins. and they had wished for a
long time that they might do just as
they pleased The day before Hal
lowe'en their mother told them that
the next day they might do just as
they pleased, from six o'clock IN the
morning until six o'clock at night
This pleased the children very
much and they decided 20 spend the
day visiting their aunt, who lived
lust over the hill. There was only
a narrow path leading TO her house,
which was three miles away. To
reach Il one must walk through a
dark and thickly wooded forest. Fiz
and Francois had often heard that
wild beasts and even a wild man had
been seen near this path, but they
believed they could out-run any Of
them.
Just as the clock struck six on the
morning Of Halloween they tumbled
out Of bed. They neither washed
lNtiT lIifN nor NNUtIfu AiAfAA iAAAtf NAh
sat down 20 breakfast looking like a
couple Of frost-bitten tumble-weeds.
However, their mother said not a
word. for that day they were 20 do
just as they pleased. When break
fast was over they hurried out Of the
house and down the path that lead
20 the home Of their aunt. When
they had reached the darkest part
Of the woods they sat down 20 rest.
They had not been there very long
when they heard a noise IN the
branches above them II sounded
like something very large climbing
down the tree. The children jump
ed 10 their feet, bat in their fright
they jumped 50 high their hats fell
Off and their tangled hair caught IN
the branchcs Of the trees There
thy were held fast. while the crea-
tu above them came nearer and
mo- er % the bottom Of the tree.
m y jerked and pulled and broke
off branches as hard and fast as
they could and finally freed them
selves from the tree. They hurried
down the path as fast as their tremh-
ling legs could take them and soon
reached their good aunt's pretty cot
tage.
They spent a happy day and only
