THE
u. S. NOBBY TREAD

Where the going is specially heavy
with snow, mud or sand, in billy
country where maximum traction on
the road is a factor, no other tire tread
yet devised is quite so effective, or SO
wholly approved by motoring opin-

Its very simplicity-three rows Of
diagonal knobs, gripping the road
is the result Of all the years Of u. S.
Rubber experience with every type

THE SERVICE or CAPITAL
Much Risk in Business and Many
Enterprises Fail

People with bolshevistic tendencies,
seem to think the time will come
when workers Of all industries will
be able to dispense with the func-
tions performed by capitalists, aiel
secure for themselves the profivs
now taken by the owners of business.
But they do not fully realize all
the service that capital performs.
To operate an industry, funds
must be provided to build plant,
buy modern tools and machinery, adj
vance the money for raw materials
and wages until goods can be sold
and the poney for the same col
lected. The majority of people can
never save much money, even though
they have large pay. So capital
must be supplied by people who have
ability to earn it, and also to save
and keep it.
Furthermore, there is much risk
in business. Many enterprises fail
If people are to venture their money
in this uncertain field where SO
much capital is. all the time being
lost, they will expect fairly gooc
return for it. If you limited then
to the interest they could get in {
bank or in government bonds, they
would never put dollar into bust
ness.
1t would of course be possible 10
any group of workers to undertake
to carry on business of their own
and if they had a good manage
they might make it pay. But mos
workers seem to prefer to take
fixed wage rather than take th'
chances Of business for themselves.
Most of them seem to feel ina
their chances of good pay and reg
ular work are better in busines
run by capitalists. Those that Zee
that the capitalists profit is unnee
essary, should set UP for themselves
If they have the ability TO run
business, they can become independ
ent of capitalists, or still better
graduate into that class themselve!

A New Menace to Lawns

The way these concrete fellows are
making vegetation superfuous is APP
palling. Not content with trying to
reduce the, tree 10 mere decoration
for the product in walls and floors
and beams and posts they are now
out after the green grass. For they
are laying their product in the front
and back yard, painting it green
and calling it lawn.
While this will doubtless appeal to
the tired business man, who even on
the hottest days of midsummer is
compelled by domestic edict to push
.,.as ,..@s slaWn never all over the
W .dandla s32ose until
every square foot has been thorougn-'
ly wet down, it is doubtful whether
the concrete man will get very far
with his labor saving substitute. For
the women folks who do not have to
shove the pesky lawn-mower and the
children who want something softer
than cement to roll and tumble on,
will put dad" in such a minority
that he will have to continue to
sweat and to grumble whether he
likes it or not.
But in those quarters Of the town
where lack of civic pride, or Lack Of
means or leisure have made the front
lawn a comparative rarity; and in
those towns where the fumes Of
smelters and chemical plants have
put the grass lawn out of business
the cement lawn may have it uses
and its justification. Since it goes
hard with the lawns anyway, il
might as well go harder.-EX.
