FIRESTONE TIRE co.
MAKES FINE REPORT

With the lowest prices experienced
in the history of tire making, and in
the face of keenest competition, the
Firestone Tire & Rubber Company's
sales for the fiscal year ending
October 81, were S64,507,301.7 IT,
representing an increase of % per
cent in pieces sold over the previous
year, according to a statement made
the other day to stockholders, at
their annual meeting in Akron, Ohio,
by Harvey s. Firestone, president of
the company,
Mr.. Firestone expressed optimism
regarding the outlook for the coming
year.
"We enter the new year." he said,
with our factories running at I'M
diminished production, operating at
the highest point of efficiency yet at
tanned and producing the best quail
ity tire in our history. Sales and
distribution methods have been sim
plified, resulting in marked decrease
in cost; our dealer organization en-
larged and strengthened. Inventories
have been very conservatively valued
and our commitments for raw ma
terial are on a most favorable basis.
"Howerer," said Mr.. Firestone,
unless the action taken by England
and certain colonial governments re-
lative to production and expectation
of crude rubber is rescinded or modi-
fed in a drastic manner, the effects
of this un~called-for legislation will
be far-reaching. The limiting of
production and expectation already
has caused an increase of 100 per
cent in the cost of the crude product
since announcement of the new pro-
gram was made in October.
"This present advance represents
increased cost to the United
States of over 100000 on its
consumption for 1928.
This must be passed on to the tire
3
"This is the time for the United
States to pass such legislation as will
encourage American capital to de-
velop rubber plantations in the
Islands, where the soil and
conditions are equal to any
in the rubber producing belt, and
negotiate with South American re-
to develop production in their
regions.
Rubber is growing each year to
be more important to the economies
If and transportation, and
great opportunities are before us to
make the Philippines n of our
most valuable possessions and have
lsecure PUPPY of this very important
product" .

TO the conclusion that Sand Creek is
not the worst place in the world to

he is bringing up a Fordson tractor

stairs but what was his surprise when
he found a 400 lb. horse helping
himself to the very fine tubers and
anything else that would fit into a
horse-diet. 1t proved to be P. Free
berg's horse, so Freeberg was sent
for and after three or four hours of
work in excavating, the horse was
led out. No damage was done to
the horse, but that is more than we
truthfully say of Nh. Saboe's

Some extensive improvements are
being planned for the Vida hall. An

remodeling are in contemplation.

Profits:
Corn; Cattle

Something like six weeks ago corn
was selling for about 81 cents bush

at Sc cents per bushel. Many farmers
failed to provide enough dry corn and
this is given as one reason for the
advance. Much of the corn went into
silos.
During the peak of prices corn went
to about '$195 and butter fat to about
