TIRE WEAR AND
SPEED GO TOGETHER

One of the foremost tire men In the
country recently called attention to
the manner in which tire wear In
creases with speed. The faster tire
travels the more heat 1t generates in
ternally. Normal speed does not in
crease the internal heat to danger
Gus degree, but excess speed will not
only raise the heat above the danger
point. but may actually cause further
INFLAMMATION TO take place. This heat
not only dries out the friction gum
between the piles of fabric, but the
very fabric itself, lowering the elastic
ity of the tire, decreasing it's resiI-
iency and weakening the structure SO
that it will blow out at the first ex-
cuse.

DECREASE IN FREIGHT RATES
Increase of IS Per Cent Removed on
Livestock Shipments.

Notification has been received by
local railroad freight officials that the
So per cent increase On livestock rates
from the south to pasture and grazing
areas farther north, which was grant
ed in August of 1920 along with other
increase, has been suspended. and the

period of suspension will continue
until July Is, the statement to the
local officials says. This will cover
the period during which stock is ship
ped from. the south to the grazing
country.

bureau, its accomplishments. aims and
purposes. 1t was an interested and
friendly crowd that listened atten-

evidently satisfied. fuckers talk was
part of the transforming campaign
that is being carried on this week
preparatory to the membership cam
paign which will begin Monday. s.
"I knew there was something radi-
cally wrong" declared one farmer
just what it was or saw any hope for

in little groups after the meeting, dis

had explained.

and that something must be done to

generally are in sympathy with the
that the American farmers must or

business is content that the farmer
shall continue to produce the things
