Save the Tire. "

A campaign with this as the OBJ
iective would be next in order in
this country if III. G. S. Smith, San
Antonio Firestone dealer, had his way.
I'VE have had all kinds of cam
paigns," Mr.. Smith said, ito save the
surface, to save the forests and TO
save most everything else, each one
valuable in its way, and all teaching
the lesson of conservatism.
Il believe that we should have a
campaign to save the tire that we
should conserve the millions Of ddl-
lars that are wasted every year
through neglect (probably uninten-
tionaD of this most important motor
ing item.
1T is just as essential to give at
tention to the tires ON your car as it
is to attend to the surface on your
house, for upon your tires depend mo-
toring safety and economy.

taught in my proposed campaign is
the care of valve equipment. The valve

MARMON BRAKE
CONVENIENCE
4 FEATURE
Big Selling Point With
Traffic Problems
Increasing.

An interesting and distinctive fea-'
ture Of Marmon construction which,
under existing congested conditions of
traffic, has come in for unusually fav-
orable comment, is the convenient To-
cation and altogether capable appear
ance of the Marmon emergency brake,
which occupies a paramount position
in the location of the operation mech
anism of the Marmon cars, according
to +. V. Embleton, of the Embleton
Motor company, local Marmon dealer.
Contrary to the practices of other
motor car manufacturers in placing
the emergency brake in a remote posi-
ton, where it is necessary to stoop
forward with chest on the steering
wheel and grope uncertainty for it,
Marmon has placed its emergency
brake scant few inches from the
right hand as it rests normally on
the steering wheel.
''The inconvenience Of reaching the
conventional emergency brake is so
great that it is rarely used except in
locking the car in parking" says Mr..
Embleton. Accurate control of the
car is obviously impossible when it
is necessary to grope uncertainty for
the emergency brake. The advantage
of accessibility will be noted in moving
from a standstill up grade. 1t is
good driving practice under this con-
dition TO keep the, car from slipping
backward by application of the emery
ency brake with the right hand while
the left foot engages. the clutch and
the right foot controls the engine speed
at the accelerator pedal. The superior
ease OF accomplishing this with the
Marmon type emergency brake is most
striking in comparison with the in
aecessibly arranged control Of the or
binary car"
Marmon drivers. especially men,
form the habit of using the emergency
brake, moderately applied in conjunc-
ton with the foot brake in ordinary
stops.

"Then there are still vast Bra
lillian areas in the rubber belt that

are almost inaccessible because OF
natural obstacles and are inhabited
by wild and savage tribes of Indians.
a number of scientific and CONNER

penetrate the far up-river and lateral
country mysteries this year. Some
of these should report very shortly.
Brazil has a great opportunity aud
apparently is awake 10 it now. The
ancestors Of the plantation trees OF
the East were natives of that coun-
try, and while they must be planted,
in other countries, in Brazil they

stimulation of the business Of actual
ly tapping trees and bringing rubber
TO the ports for marketing.
'The Amazon river was the great
highway over which large quantities
of rubber were formerly brought 10
the seaports. Natives, mostly In

operated 'ou their own in small par
ties or as individuals, not under com
pany or government direction. There
are now signs Of activity on a more

give a poor account of itself if the
valve leaks.
"Therc are three rules to follow in
looking after valve equipment a. be
sure the valve-inside, or the inner-door,
does not leak; (2) always apply valve
cap as in case of leak from valve
inside this will form the second door
for holding air; 81 use rim nut bush
ing tightly screwed against the felloe,
which prevents creeping of tube.
above all, motorists should be
brought to recognize the necessity Of
maintaining the right air pressure in

~Great Britain's monopoly on crude

Tire and Rubber Company, in a re-
cent address at Akron.
There are signs that rubber viii be

equator all the way round the world,
and among other countries, Brazil
looms again as a source of some quick
relief from the present crude rubber

THE SQUEEZE PLAY"
when Brazil had practically a
monopoly of crude rubber production.
about fifteen years ago, she made a
squeeze play by cutting out exporta-
ton of rubber altogether for a time,
and waited until the price rose to SO
pound before letting it go. That
caused the beginning of the great plan
tation activities in the Middle East,
which have made Great Britain and
The Dutch the greatest of rubber pro-
ducers and took away 90 per cent Of
the Brazilian business.
so il may be said that IS rubber
brought 10 cent rubber: then Great
Britain. not having learned a lesson
from the experience Of Brazil, also
undertook a squeeze play through the
Stevenson restriction act--a colonial
measure purely-and brought about
dollar rubber. This in turn stimulates
rubber growing all over the world,
and in about ten years it viii bring a
plentiful supply at about 50 cents a
pound. which, IT seems. is a figure
enabling plentiful production at a
comfortable profit. And incidentally,
Brazil comes into her own again as

"Forty cent rubber wouldn't interest
Brazil because Of the cost of her IA

John Doe, the Wr0nged
(Danville Bee)

John Doe was born about the close of the Dark
Ages. He was the creation OF some English law
yers who began to the light of progress. They
needed John Doe for the purpose Of making law
more complicated than it had been. Fact had made
snarled enough for most persons, but the lawyers
called fiction to their aid to make it more profitable
John Doe was the fictitious lad to turn the grind
stone for them. Just why they needed him as the
plaintiff in actions of ejectment would Of itself be
fit subject for $4,000 word thesis by any young
lawyer seeking degree.
John Doe. springng full armed with papers,
from the brow of justice, entered upon career in
which he imaginary lessee battling
with imaginary Richard Roe for possession o.
land. The land real and SO were the men who

Roe groat for their services. For seven cen
turtles, until parliament passed the common law
procedure act in 1852, Doe and Roe were busy,
but always in fairly respectable work. But the act
of 1852 abolished fctions in ejectment.
John Doe, after seven centuries OF work, deserved
a grave in Westminster Abbey. But no; cruel Jaw
yers would not let him die. He forced into the
miserable work of the criminal courts. Judges

A South Dakota Calculation

Prices of farm products have practically their
rre-war purchasing power, according to the Monthly
Bulletin of the South Dakota College OF Agricu.
ture Comparison Of values Of agricultural products
in terms OF dollars is made with the more important
nOn-agricultural products as purchased locally
The conclusion of South Dakota experts is that
generally speaking 81 worth OF South Dakota farm
products during the years 1910 to 1913 purchased
81 worth OF non-agrcultural products. Investiga-
tons show that this situation today more nearly
obtains now than ever before since the war, which
indicates restoration of balances as between the
farm and industry generally.
A parity has not been reached, but the general
trend is in Shat direction. South Dakota statist:-
clam, Snow that the purchasing value OF farm prod
ucts advanced from 20 cents in June 1924, to 96h
cents in June, 1926
North Dakota's situation is probably the same,
as t produces exactly the same products and is
governed by the same market conditions. This
means that farmers will not he forced to restrict
