TN all of modern merchandising J the biggest conundrum is the fabric tire situation.
 Around 70% of all car owners use fabric tires.
 Their instinct for quality is as strong and insistent as any one else's.
 Why, then, are they offered such hodge -podge stocks of "dis- count tires, ""odd lots, seconds" "retreads" and other so-called bargains of uncertain origin7
 Sooner or later the public al- ways seeks out quality. As a matterof self professionalism no other reason. The out-and-out opinion in favor of U. S. Fabric Tires has spread more this year than it ever did.

PEACE IN IRELAND

The coming of the dove Of peace
To the Emerald Isles was greeted
with considerable enthusiasm by the
world at large last Saturday night
A marked feature of tt he treaty wan
the discontinuancc of hostllltles two
DAYS before the date set for the arm
istice-a sensible decision saving the
unnecessary shedding Of blood.
It is now the wish of the world that
Ireland and EEngland will arrive at
a timely and altogether satisfactory
settlement of their grievances.
Ireland's fight for freedom has been
a long struggle of battered hopes
For more than a century she has
dreamed of a freedom from British
rule but her attempts have always
been failure, largely because of the
internal religious troubles at home.
The dominion plan offered Ireland
will place that little. nation on par
with that of Canada and make her
almost self-governing and in reality
a protectorate of England. Under
the circumstance, this plan is in all
probability more satisfactory than an
entire release of the island for it will

OF UNLIMITED VALUE

1t is hard to estimate the exact val
lie of the Tourist Park to the city and
vicinity of Sank Centre. AS matter
of fact, there can be no valuation at
tached to a factor of this kind, the
possibilities of which are reverend
ing.
AS an advertising feature, it has
been the greatest possible factor in
making known to the world the won
ders of Sank Centre. Every tourist
who visits this place goes forth shout
ing the praises of the community and
it has already given evidence OF at
tracing hundreds of tourists through
this city who would otherwise have
travelled by another route.
AS business getter for Sank Gen.
tire this piece of property has no
equal. Tourists hurry here because
of it; they often stay a day or two
and every stop-over means business
to the community. One traveller and
his family have been camping at the
Park all week for no other reason
than that they feared that never
again would they meet up with so
ideal a spot as this, and they have
elected to make Sank Centre their
home during the vacation period
That everybody is enjoying the
Park is quite evident from the gath
ering~ who thronged there last Sun
day. The Lutheran congregations OF
the city and vicinity made it a picnic
grounds-t.:ey came here from all
points of the compass and spent the
day enjoying the beauties of the Park
and the Lake. 1t was the Park that
attracted them as it will attract
others.
There is not fraction of doubt
but that the Inauguration of the
Tourist Park and the Country Clut
with it's golf links, tennis courts ano
other amusement possibilities, is the
greatest venture ever attempted II
Sank Centre since the day when AL,
exander Moore arrived at the decision
that the junction Of Sank River ano
Sank Lake would make an ideal 10
cality for the founding of a commun-
itv and business center.

a few have gotten the state job bug

some part of the executive burden
spoken of, hi anwer to each is none
the less direct. If there is a job and
the applicant is worthy, he gets it,

Musical Gifts of Boys and Girls.

The higher musical endowments in
male children are shown. plainly in
vocal and piano classes, where it seems
invariable that the most expert and
brightest students are boys. For ev-
cry musical girl, there appears to be
five boys equally gifted. They have
naturally better idea of harmony and
instinctively grasp musical values,
which, in the majority of cases, become
understood by their feminine rivals
only by dint of hard study.-Exchange

EXCHANGE CLIPPINGS

The Hupmobile of Frank M. Neise
of Clarissa, and Ford touring car
owned by S. C. Bergh, real estate
man from Halstead, collided on the
Browerville State road Friday after
noon of last week. Mrs. Bergh and
daughter were in her husbands car,
and Mrs. Bergh sustained a broken
knee cap, an injury which will con-
fine her I'd her bed for many weeks.
No one else was injured but both cars
were badly wrecked, Mr.. Bergh's so
badly that he disposed the the re-
mains of it and purchased new Ford
in order to go on to his home. The
Neisse car has a smashed radiator, a
broken headlight and fender, but is
being repaired at local garage. Mrs.
Bergh is at the Losey hospital, her
husband and daughter having gone
on to their home Sunday.-Long
Prairie Leader.
County Commissioner Ferd Borg
man of this district met with men,
bers of the council and citizens at the
city clerks office last Friday evening
and conferred in regard to having the
road north of the city extended direct
to Ward Springs and designated as a
county road.
Mr.. Borgmann stated that this
road had already been proposed as a
county road by the county commits
sioners but becaust of the failure to
sell the county road bonds definite
action in designating the road as
county road was postponed.
A meeting Of the county board will
be held in St. Cloud July IL and l3
and it was proposed that delegation
of local citizens appear at the meet
ing, and ask that the commissioners
take action on this road and improve
that portion of the road now built and
extend the road north from the Hell
lerman school house.
The extending of this road will pro-
vide a direct route to Ward Springs
and Long Prairie and will open up an
elegant farm and lake district which
is now almost impossible to reach
Melrose Beacon.
Sunday morning, June 10Th, the
second as of huge Fourth of July
celebration taking place, was heard
by residents of Staples. Shortly af-
forwards, the fire department was
called out, and it was found that the
explosion by window full of fire
works acted as magnifying glass
and soon ignited the explosives and
the fire soon spread to magazines and
window fixtures. The blaze was soon
extinguished by the department, but
not before damage estimated at ST.
600 was caused.-Browerville Blade.

insure better government, the help
and protection of England, and will
prevent the grasping nations of the
world from prospecting off the
helpless little power which Ireland
would necessarily be subject to in her
first stages of absolute civic and poll
teal freedom.
Ireland seems satisfied with the
dominion proposition and the world,
consequently, should be congenial to
the plan.

CAN WE CHARTER
on RIDLR SHIPSi

Washington, d. G. - Reports from
Australia state that feeling among the
meat producers there Is YER ysore
against the shipping comprehensive
iBh companies-on account Of the high
rates which are being charged on Aus
tralian meat exports, and at recent
conference proposal was pur for
ward that efforts should be made to
ascertain what American tonnage that
could be insulated was available. The
impression was that there was much
, idle tonnage In America that could be
adapted for this trade, and that II
could be purchased by a company OF
producers In which company the Gov
eminent could take an interest, and
thereby the highhanded actions OF the
British shipping companies could be
curbed.
In this connection there has been
some talk Of a shortage of tonnage to
handle frelghts marked for shipment
out of the ports of certain South
American countries, and it is well
known that many of those countries
have neither the facilities no rthe
workmen to build modern freight car
riers. A suggestion has also been made
that possibly some of the idle tonnage
of America might be secured to fill the
void in those countries.
Whether o rnot there is merit in
these propositions might be determin-
ed by survey of some sort to learn
In what parts of the worldtonnage is
in high demand. The question arises
as to whether or not 1t might be the
part of economy to take advantage Of
such tonnage shortages, where posi-
BILE. There are at present large
number of American ships, under the
jurisdiction of the Shipping Board,
which are swinging idly with the tide,
or snubbed to thei rdocks for lack of
business. 1t is said that the James
River, Virginia, is packed near its
mouth with an idle fleet of freight
carriers the cost of upkeep and guard
ing (which is very large. In addition
an idle vessel rapidly deteriorates.
There does not seem to be any likeli-
hood of pressing these vessels into
service in the very near future.
1t is thought by some that it might |
be the part of wise economy for the
Federal Government to permit other
countries to operate these ships, if
they need them. They need not be sold
outright, necessarily, but they might
be opened to charter, the chartering
parties to assume the cost of insur-
ance, etc. These charter rates would
aggregate a considerable income for
the Government, and that would be
much better than paying out large
sums to look after vessels which are

For many weary, eager hours, Rocco
had worked over the modelling OF his

most fantastic dreams, had the boy

would some doy take its place on the

twenty-five.
