That Il the worst Of monarchy.
The people gamble everything on
the accidental result Of Q mix

Somebody selects an unframed
young royal woman % the wife
OF an unframed young royal
prince. Then millions Of people
must take whatever they ret a.
the result Of that union.
Republics are not perfect. but
ct least you can get rid Of your
untrained dog at the end Of four
years.

How would you stop crime,

The Goodyear Tire Company

cash on hand, and sold more
tires in 1921 than in, 1920. That ]
is REAL" PROSPERITY news.
Once you might judge the pros
perity of q village by the num-
