 FORMER RECORDS

The Crawford Quick Tire Service up on First avenue, are in high" since they took on the Howe tire, and have broken all records for sales for the past five years.
 R. H. Thomas, president of the concern, attributes this satisfying condition largely to the fact that he is cashing in on the fine reputation of Howe tire for reliability and high mileage, and says that every motor ist who has ever had Howe on his wheel is a booster for that tire.
 Thus former users of these splen- did casings welcomed the opportu- nifty of buying their favorlte tires and at the same time being able to avail themselves of the service pro- vided by the Crawford Quick Tire Service

letter to his parents:
Dear Folks: Well i am In the
army now. Arrived here June 10
about 2 %. m. We had our physical
examination and were issued our uni
forms, raincoat, pair breeches,
blouse, hat, 2 pair shoes, field equip
ment. sleeping outfit, and overall out
fit. Haven't had anything to do but
get our uniforms adjusted and eat.
We sure have had good eats and iots
of IL. All we can eat and that Is
going some. Had our rifles issued
this morning so have been putting In
most Of our time trying to get the
grease off. Just as fast as we ger
them clean some more runs out. AL
most a discouraging job. Went
swimming in the big river this morn
ing. Deep enough for small boats.
Very little current because OF the
effect of the tide. River is full OF
a kind of weed which makes 1t I'M
possible to swim anywhere except In
certain spots. We fixed up a place
on the old army docks where the
water is free from weeds-only ABOUT
Is feet deep, fine swimming. Bet
Burns would enjoy a place ike this.
Do not go on duty until Monday
so expect we will spend most OF our
time in the water. New men COM
ing. all the time Expect about 700
here by Monday. Some OF them dld
not finish until June 10, 100 men
coming from Oregon, 80 from Call
fornia. Expect we will have great
time when we all get here.
Went through the capitol while In
Washington. Great sight, but one
will have to spend several hours
there to see much. I'm going PACK
before I come home. I want to see
more of the east while here. The
country doesn't look as good as
farther west. Lots of timber, land
is rough, Of white sand. Don't look
good to me. The farther east I came
the poorer the country and the small
err the crops. Expect I will be talk
ing like a southerner hear so much
of it. A large percent Of colored
people. Most Of the labor Is colored.
We sure have some good colored
cooks, giving us great feed. Not
much amusement this side Of Wash
ington. One show here. Kids here
from all over the country. Just be-
ginning to get acquainted, going to
have a great time.
