READY TO SERVE

Do you appreciate what ready to serve" organization means?
 It usually represents the work, experience and saving of years of one or more individuals.
 Take newspaper for illustration. Too often it's value to town is underestimated by the leading citizens of the community.
 Yet the deadest town in the world, is the one without newspaper.
 The newspaper is called to support every pub lie movement "free of charge" It must help the church, it must lead the way for civic improve ment and it must pioneer in all manner of new development enterprises.
 When the good work has been done, the "lead- ing citizens" of the community sit back with a smile of satisfaction and too often take credit for the work which would have been impossible without a regularly issued daily or weekly news paper.
 Good times and bad, the paper must come out Merchants threaten to discontinue adver- Using if necessary rate increases are made. Sub scribers threaten to stop subscriptions if it's po cies do not agree with theirs.
 But sooner or later every citizen in the com munity must have the services of the newspaper for some purpose or other. Little do they con- slider the trials of the average country editor in maintaining ready to serve" institution that is seldom thanked for the public good it is con- stantly doing; that is often cussed for no just cause, but that always comes out on schedule and is ready to serve' in its feld although the re- quirements of the individuals asking the service may come ten years apart.-The Manufacturer.

PRESIDENT HARDING's BRAVE STAND.

President Harding IS receiving compliments from all sides on his courageous stand against ular to be against anything that this country can possibly give the soldier boys, but after an ex- haustive study of the present financial condition of the country he is convinced that appropria- tions of the magnitude required to carry out the plan would not only come near bankrupting the country and create dire distress, but would prevent the proper care of the casuals who are in dire need of financial as well as physical as- sistance. After coming to the definite concu- sion that the country could not stand the finan- cial strain, he met the proposition face to face, regardless of what political effect it might have. It would have been much more pleasant duty to have favored the enactment of the law, but he believed that those who willingly gave their all for the country they loved would not now care to see it in dire distress financially, even though they were temporarily benefited by the law. is condition-not theory.

AS RUSSIA PROGRESSED"

T stand for government ownership of the railroads and standardization of the mines; for health insurance, old age pensions, and unem- ployment insurance-all progressive measures" !" declares John L. Lewis of the Federation of La bor Those policies are progressive, all right, but they progress directly towards the sort of thing that has ruined Russia. Naturalization of in- dustries and the various phases of social insur- ance are merely polite names for insidious class legislation that would inevitably destroy this government if they gained the ascendency

The Sun is republican paper from principle and not for revenue only. We believe that the people should rule and have the full benefit of the taxes paid to run the government that taxes are not paid for the upkeep of few of the select regardless of their worth If such things occur in the republican party, they are just as bad, if not worse, thantwhen they occur in some other party We are jealous of the welfare of the re- publican party and believe it our duty to point out those who have no heed for it's welfare, in- stead of protecting, or attempting to protect, those who are bound up by selfish desires alone. An honest administration of the affairs of the people is entitled to commendation regardless of party afilation, and, vice versa.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

A recent dispatch from London informs us that the British steamer, General Turner, has struck a mine and gone to the bottom. But the significant part of the report says that she was transporting grain and cattle from the Danube to Rotterdam glance at the map will show that the territory drained by the Danube is where the starving millions" about whom we have heard so much are dragging out their weary existence. The great city of Vienna about whose popuace horrible tales of misery have been told, is located on the Danube. The city is a center of thriving river of commerce Practically all of Austria, Hungary, Jugo-Slavia and all the other Balkan States are portions of the drainage basin of the Danube. American sympathy for their peoples has been aroused by heartrending stories and gruesome pictures of their sufferings, and many is the ship laden with American foodstuffs and many is the million of good American dollars that have gone across the water to alleviate their woes.
 If all the stories we have heard of the dread fm condition of people in Vienna and the country roundabout are true, can it be that it is not all due to the wars aftermath, but has been intensi- fled by profteering on the part of Austrians who have been able to control the food supply? Whence came the grain and cattle that are being exported from war-devastated regions of the Danube for sale in Rotterdam? Those are the very articles that have been sent there from the United States. Is it possible that our charities for Austria and the Balkan States have fallen into the hands of cOnscienceless natives of those territories, who have exported them to Holland for profit?
 There has been mercenary spirit on the part of Europeans that has attended all of Americas efforts to aid Old World reconstruction. Great Britain did not scruple to lend millions of dol lars to Argentina in furtherance of her own trade ambitions, while she owed the United States almost four and half billions. There has been little genuine cooperation on the part of European countries to aid America in the distri- button of food and other supplies. France, Poland and other states have been quick to take over the surplus supplies of our overseas army, but have not paid dollar for them or penny of in terest on their debts incurred by the transact ion And now we get a hint as to what is taking place in the worst afflicted part of Europe. Un- til the authorities in those countries show some inclination to assist in getting food to the people who need it, and in keeping it out of the hands of shameless profteers, the United States is not likely to listen to any more pitiful appeals from that part of Europe.

While something like million and a half rail- road workers are voting on the question whether to strike rather than accept 12 per cent reduc- tion in their wartime wages, there are f,0o0000 American farmers who have already accepted a 60 per cent reduction in the prices of their prod ballot. The railroads still want higher rates, and the farmer has commenced to hunt for some other means of transportation in order that he may save at least a living from his returns.

The criticism of congress and the republican administration by the democratic press so early in the game, while unfair, does more good than harm to the republican party When the people learn that the democrats sunk $385, 5,000, ,0O0 via the federal shipping board route alone, they realize that it must be paid and the republicans must find way to do it. It is much easier to blow up ship than it is to put it together again after it has been blown up.

Senator Ashurst is willing to have a tariff placed on cotton because his constituents demand it and because he knows it will benefit them, but else. Rather strange he can take position that is so inconsistent. If tariff will help cotton raisers, why won't it help wool, hides and cattle?

It is noteworthy that the convention of the Rainbow Division refused it's approval to a res olution endorsing cash bonus to former sol diers.

Three Million More
 Cars In Use Than
 TUelUe Months Ago

As result of unusually mild wealth CT throughout the country this winter, approximately 3,000,000 more passen- ger cars and trucks are in service than were being used a year ago, according to reports sent in to the travel and Rubber company.
 Many of the northern states which are usually snowbound during several months of the year have had only a few light snowfalls so far this winter and auto traffic has never been inn peded. The result has been that thou sands of motorists who formerly stored their machines at the first sign of King winter have kept them contin- uously in use.
 The best indication of the increased use of autos is given by reports ob- tained by the Goodrich bureau from Pgasoline distributing companies in widely separated sections. The reports show that gasoline consumption this winter in northern states is at least 150 per cent greater than last year, many cities showing increases ranging as high as 400 or 500 per cent The largest gains in gasoline con- sumption were shown by cities in northern Michigan and in states along the Canadian border which usually are snow bound from fall to spring. No
 
 crease of less than 90 per cent.
 Reliable estimates placed the num- Der of cars in use last winter-whieh was unusually severe-at 4,500,O00. This year it can bA conservatively es- timated that at least 1,500, 900 are in service. Part of the increase can he attributed to the larger number of cars owned, but the favorable motoring weather is of course the greatest factor.
 Tire manufacturers predict that this l increased use of cars will have an ap- 1 preciable effect upon the demand foi l tires next spring. and that an actua shortage may occur as a result
 Tire troubles are annoying at any time of the year. But during the win l ter months it is particularly unpleas-
 ant to get out into the cold to replace
 or patch up d flat casing. Consequent l ly, the careful motorist pays unusua attention to his tires while King Win ter reigns.
 The only way to avoid tire trouble in the winter, says the B. r. Goodrich Rubber company, is to make sure thai the casing is perfectly sound. If it i: covered with cuts. small holes anc other injuries, it succumbs in short or der to the strains of frozen ruts, mu6 and slush, igluch like a person whose resistance is low falls victim to pneu- monia.
 Cuts and cracks in the surface of a tire are much like the gaps in ar army's defense through which the en- emy plunges to victory. Mud and bits of ice get into them and with each rev olution of the wheel are ground farther

TO rt.s.y everyone it has a mental asso- ,h. with tire repair shops. because "oro appears prominently on the ,rsn, so many of these establish sfrnn rms association of ideas is so i. c,als mat many believe vulcanization
 ouy another name for A tire renair.
 vuicanization has not so limited ~ meaning as that-it is the process on which the whole rubber industry of sne world rests. Every article of rub
 snuiacture that enters into the
 S or mankind has been vulcan ixed. Whether it is d teethine ring Sr tire, a hose pipe or a hot water oottie, rubber boot or a golf ball, it must have passed through the process of vulcanization.
 nuooer manufacturers did not al- eys Know how to vulcanize rubber 7elore tne process was discovered mil country fin the manufacture of rubber goods that reached the market only to prove unsatisfactory. Many factories were erected. especially in New Eng iand- but all were a loss.
 Daniel Webster in the famous law su,. m which he defended the first Nuicanization patents. said of these carly efforts at manufacture:
 All these factories. all the earn ings Of the individuals connected with the business. came to an end and noth- fng was done until business was re- vived by the invention of vulcaniza- ton"
 These efforts at manufacture failed because of the inability to remove several objectionable qualities in the rubber itself.
 Among these were . tendency to stffen and harden and lose elasficity m cold weather. and to become soft and decompose in warm weather. A rubber coat would become so stiff in the winter that 1t would stand of it. self like tent. In the summer time rubber goods on the shelves of mer- chants would get soft and sticky and in time become a shapeless mass oi odorous decomposing vegetable mat

ter. The odors were so highly offen- sive as alone to constitute a bar to successful sales.
 The discovery of the secret of con- verting rubber from this useless state into one of the most serviceable sub stances known to man was one of the great discoveries of the age. The in ventor. Charles Goodyear, learned the secret only after ten years of arduous toll.
 It is this process which constitutes what Is known as vulcanization. First and several years prior to the full so- Iution of the problem, 1t was learned that sulphur mixed with the crude rubber produced some changes for the better But the complete elimination of the objectionable features was ef- fected a number of years later when the discovery was made that the mix ture of sulphur and rubber when ex- posed to a high degree of heat pro- duced a "change'' in the rubber that gave it those qualities of durability and permanence which have made Ii valuable in so many ways.
 Vulcanization increases the elasticity and distensibility of rubber, and makes it insusceptible to changes of tempera- ture. In fact. when heated, the vul- canized rubber does not fuse and be- come clammy and viscid. but remains unchanged at all temperatures short oi the absolute decomposition point. or and grease, which formerly softened Il so quickly as to make 1t unusable. nc longer do quick harm to 1t, although in some forms, especially tires, oil and grease are counted among the chief enemies of long life for rubber.
 Vulcanization is generally spoken of among rubber manufa cturers as the "cure." Many efforts have been made to discover other and less expensive methods of curing rubber but thus far without much success. Tn every rub Der factory a large part of the cos. of machinery and of labor is applied tc securing a proper cure. True some types of thin goods have been sue cessfully vulcanized by the use oi chemicals in place of heat but the proportion of these is very small. In tire manufacture the process ot vulcanfzation is especially expensive This operates in two ways, first. fl the cost of the operation itself. and second. fin the cost of adeuuate super

in. Sooner or later the fabric is ex- posed. and from then on the destruc- tion is rapid. The fabric soalSs up moisture and begins to rpt. the '1n- fected" spot constantly enlarging.
 To be on the safe side. motorists should examine their tires every week or so during the winter. Every cut or crack. no matter how small, should be repaired at once, cleaned out and filled with rubber plastic. If the injuries are serious. the tire should be taken to first class repair man. A few dol lars spent this way is the best kind of insurance against future trouble and expense.
 It is poor economy, says Goodrich, to use a tire in winter which is nearly worn out. It is far cheaper in the long run to replace it with new casing and lay it aside for use in the summer. It will give 300 miles of service then for every 100 miles it will give now
