WHY NOT?

Why not take advantage of our free tire inspection scrrre?
 This service costs you nothing and it doesn't rGke particle of differ ence what tires you're using-we simply feel that it is part of our job as progressive tire merchants to help you get all you can out of your tires.
 Let's decide on a regular inspection day-say once or twice month. On that day drive up and we'll give your tires a thorough going over. We'll see if your wheels are properly align ed, if there are any little cuts or bruises to be attended to-in fact, if anything's wrong, if there's some thing to be done that might ward off serious tire trouble, we'll tell you about it.
 It's our business to see that you get every mile out of your tires that the manufacturer builds into them.
 Of course, if you ask our advice about tires to use, we're going to recommend Daytons. We believe this is included in our business of help ing you get the most miles for every dollar you invest in tires-for we know that the most miles are built into Daytons.
 But Daytons or not, you're welcome to our service.

Heretis the big comedy hit of the season. While it had it's long run at the Mission theatre, in Los Angeles, the police were called every night to handle the big crowds standing in front of the theatre, stopping at times all traffic both on the sidewalk and the street, which affords the best criticism that can be had, because when people clam mer to sec a picture it must be good, or they would not be there trying to break in the doors. Also a good two-part slapstick. "

TAKEN FROM
DESERTER LISTS
John j. Wilkins Neglected to Notify His
Local Board of Entrance Into Mil
itary Service

In list of names removed from the
draft deserter lists an order from Mai.
Gen. Clarence r. Edwards, commandinp
the First Corps area, is the name OF
John j. Wilkins, whose enlistment pa
pers passed through the hands of the To-
cal board for Windham county. The
order says:
The records on file show that this
man was directed to report to the adiu-
tant general, state of Vermont. for mill
tary duty not later than Feb. %, 1918:
because of failure to do so he was certi-
fled to the adjutant general of the army
as deserter. Records of those who
served during the World war show that
he enlisted in the United States army on
July II, 1917, and served until june ?
1919.
The inclusion of this mans name in
the list of draft evaders resulted through
registrant 5 neglect to notify his loca
board of entrance into military service
as required by the draft regulations. and
IN the final report of the draft officials
he was therefore included. Furthermore.
the reason his name was not discovered
in the check of the list of deserters
against the records of the army is that
at time of registration he gave his name
as John J Wilkins, whereas he enlisted
under the name of John Wilkins. =

of the company and had been
named chairman of newly created ex-

a salesman, had been elected president.
The retirement of Mr.. Mccormick
started rumors that he would hasten to
Europe to assist at the marriage of Ma
thilde to Oser or that he would go TO
Paris to become the husband of Gamma
Walska, grand opera singer. .....
Mir Mccormick, however, stated that
as head of the executive committee OF
the Harvester concern he could give
more time to policies and the larger
questions which arise and that he did
