bANKHEAD ROUTE. ATTRACTS NOTICE IF WHOLE NATION
First Organized To Connect Atlanta, Birmingham
 And Memphis

Seven years ago the Bankhead Ma
 tional Highway association was or ganized for the purpose of promot- Ing highway from Birmingham to Memphis and from Birmingham to Atlanta. The founders of the organ
 tzation conceived the idea that these three cities should be linked together with a splendidly paved highway Little did they dream that they would 2 attract the attention of the entire nation and that the outcome of that organization of linking three cities together would grow into great na- tional and international highway. Since the organization of the Bank
 head National Highway association this highway has grown until it has extended from Atlanta through the states of South Carolina, North Caro- lima and Virginia to the capital of the nation. It has grown until this highway has been extended from Memphis through the states of Ar
 kansas, Oklahoma. Texas. New Mex leo, Arizona, California on to the Pacific ocean. The main line of the Bankhead National Highway starts st the zero milestone at Wa shington and traverses 13 states that have been named. until today it is 3,690 miles. A branch line starting at Little Rock, Ark, goes through Okla shoma, the panhandle of Texas, New Mexico to Fl Paso, Tex, a distance ,f nearly 1C00 miles The main line of the Bankhead Highway enters Texas at TeXarkana and goes 1000 miles through the state to Fl Paso, Tex The Texans not being satis- fled with the main line of the Bank head national highway, induced the association to establish a branch line starting at Mt. Pleasant going 800 miles to Laredo. In Laredo, the Mex
 lean government has arranged to connect with he Bankhead highway land to name the route the Texas Mexico division of the Bankhead ma Laredo to the City of Mexico, d dis
 tance of nearly 5000 miles. This route has been established and today the Bankhead highway stretches from Washington city to Mexico City, linking the capitols of two great na- lions together.
 ' Now. the people of Texas and tho west are not the only ones that are deeply interested in having branches of the Bankhead highway but there Is a branch In Mississippi; branch In Alabama; branch In Georgia; 8 branch in Virginia, and at the last annual meeting of the Bankhead Ma Henal Highway association that met at Greenville. S. C., April 16 to 21, 1923, the following resolution was Introduced by Col. Benehan Cameron, president of the association, creating the Doughton-T -Trinkle branch of the Bankhead highway:
 q oResolved, that we hereby establish a branch connecting with the main tines of the Bankhead national high way at Charlotte, N. C., direct with the valley of Virginia at Wytheville. Va. to be called the Doughton-

proof and are warranted for unusual- ly long mileage.
 If you want to know what trouble proof tires are, equip your car With Lee puncture-proof casing, says Ma than Scholder. They permit of the ut
 most satisfaction in motoring not alone because of their absence of the annoying puncture but also because of their unusually fine riding quail ties and tremendous mileage. We want every motorist to know the joy of such unalloyed driving and hence we make this unusual offer to trade in old or new tires on Lee puncture- proofs. That the public is appre- ciating this proposition is evidenced by the readiness with which it Is taken up and the large number of cars on which we have installed Lee tires. While the price of Lee punc- ture-proof tires is bit higher than that of the ordinary kind of tire 1t is well worth the difference In satis- faction and long life.

PUNCTURE PROOF
 TIRES SOURCE 0F GREAT PLEASURE
Trade In Offer Of SchoIder Company Is Attracting
 Much Attention

Unusual success has attended the offer of Scholder Tire and Accessory company in it's offer to trade in old or new tires on new Lee puncture- proof tires and many motorists are taking advantage of this proposition. According to Monk" Bardolph more than two hundred and fifty auto mobiles have been fully equipped with Lee puncture- proof tires in the past three weeks and the original tires taken in at a liberal allowance. According to this new plan, old tires, regardless of age. condition or past performance will be taken in as part payment on new Lee puncture- proof tires. This also applies to new tires as the owner will be allowed a good price for his original equipment when 1t is replaced with Lees.
 Lee puncture-proof tires, which are sold by Scholder Tires and Accessory company are finding a ready accept ance by Birmingham motorists who are finding them a source of un- troubled tire satisfaction as they are guaranteed to be positively puncture-

Caught Brown Bear.

A dark brown bear was caught
in trap in E. H. Bradbury's
orchard about a mile west of town
during last Saturday night. 1t was
found early Sunday morning by
Mr.. Bradbury's son, c. A. Brad
bury, who dispatched it with 4
shot in the head from q AS auto
matte pistol. The animal proved
to be 200 pound female cub
probably year and half old. II
had a handsome dark brown coat
of thick fur and was rolling in fat.
The bear had been visiting the
orchard for several nights and the
trap was set near stump which
the animal used in getting over the
fence. The trap was chained TO a
ten-foot piece of timber for clog
and the bear had broken down
part Of the stump and wrecked the
gate in its futile efforts to escape.
For some time reports had come
of bear raiding orchards on Birch
hill and later in the Georgetown
district, before signs were noticed
of similar visitations to the
Bradbury orchard.

Harvest Time.

FROM THE NEW YORK TINES
These are the days when it's always good
To 90 for walk in the Autumn wood;
To shuck your feet as you pass along
And hum the tune of little song.
Beautiful days that stand midway
From glaring moon to snow-white
day.
When Summers perfume sweet is fed,
But Summers gifts are harvested
These are the nights when over the trees
We hear the rush Of passing breeze;
Beautiful nights when we never tire
Of gazing deep in the open fire.
The logs burn low, and the freight CLEANS
With the warming glow of contented
dreams,
And out of the fire new visions rise
In Harvest time-when the Summer dies.
