BALLOON TIRES SHOW
BIG SALE INCREASE
Twice as Many Disposed of So
Far This Year Than
in 1924.

Twice as many balloon tires have
been sold so far this year than during
the entire year 1924, according to
manufacturers figures. During the
first six months of 1925 balloon tire
shipments for the entire industry in
the United States are reported as to-
falling approximately 5000, 900 as
compared with 100000 for the whole
Of last year.
Makers of balloon tires report that
they are being used more extensively
on passenger cars and are entering the
truck and bus field. A balloon type
tire has been developed for use or
commercial vehicles, where thorough
cushioning from the shocks of the
road is desired. Better methods for
building balloon tires are claimed tC
have increased their popularity. I'm
provements include the f1at-treac
principle permitting longer and more
even wear, and a uniflex construction
which reduces internal heat anc
lengthens tire, according to the manu-
facturers.

There's So'methin' to think over
some day when the car seems to be
Sivin' lot of trouble and when the
new cars in the showrooms begin to
look good.
There's one fellow stores his car in
my garage who illustrates this idea Of
mine TO perfection. He used to change
the oil in the engine often enough to
guard against oil dilution. but now
that the car is gettin' old he runs
around with the crankcaSe half full of
raw gasoline and sometimes doesn't
add any fresh oil for couple of
weeks. I've a notion that's one reason
why the car is Settin' old.

another angle. There's the matter OF
polishin' the body, for instance. A
brand.new car will go for a long time
without a polish, yet most owners OF
new cars will be very generous with
polish and elbow grease. Then when
the car gets to a point where it needs

BRAKE OPERATION THEME
Well to Remember Certain Pecul
iarity in It's Application.

II a car is equipped with an emer-
gency brake operating on the pro
peller shaft just back OF the transmits
sion 1t is well to remember a certain
popularity of it's operation. Ordinarily
when brakes are applied it is not nee
essary to press out the clutch until
the car is nearly at a standstill.- The
engine helps 10 slow down the car
until the last minute when, of course.
it would tend to pull the car forward
a bit, provided IT had enough gas TO
keep from stalling. With the brakes
on the wheels the differential acts to
enable one wheel to hold back even if
the other tends to force the car for
ward. But when the braking force is
applied to the propeller shaft brake
the engine power Is bucking it on
equal terms. 1t is better then to press
out the clutch very shortly after start
ing to stop.

party Wednesday forenoon.
The whole kindergarten had a par.

children made candy dolls for the

Nancy Wedge has been absent
from the Third and Fourth Mixed

severe cold.
The mixed Fifth and Fourth Grades
also drew names for Christmas pres
ents. Wednesday morning they had
their party. The novel feature
of this party was a program in
which every child had part. The
program consisted of each child
speaking piece they had previous
ly known.
The kindergarten children and the
First Graders visited Hillerud's last
week. Mr.. Hillerud gave each child
small gift.
The First Graders wrote letters to
Santa Claus and mailed them at
Bishops. Many of the children re-
ceived answers.
Some time ago, members of the
Seventh and Eighth Grades who de-
sired to communicate with boys or
girls of their own age in foreign
countries sent letters to various cit

United States consul in foreign

give the letter to an English speaking

MITCHELL VERDICT AS
EXPECTED

When the army officers in charge
of the Court Martial of Col. Mitchell
rendered a verdict of guilty on all
seven accounts preferred against the
gallant army officer, they acted as
the public expected they would. In
fact there was no other verdict they
could render and save the red tape
of military discipline.
Because of Col. Mitchell's record
of 30 years in service, both on home
soil and in France he was only CD
sentenced to suspension from ser,
vice for a five year period. The
case will go to President Coolidge fol
final review and it is generally ex-
pected he will uphold the findings
of his subordinate officers.
In spite Of his conviction Col
Mitchell is stronger with the Amen.
can people than ever. Congress is
bound to take a hand. In fact, sew.
eral bills have already been intro.
duced to limit the authority in court
martial procedure, to greatly reduce
his sentence and one has gone so fan
as to recommend that the officials
finding him guilty, shall be suspend
ed from service.
A less courageous man than Col
Mitchell, (who is probably the bes,
posted man in the military service
on aeronautics) would have trimmed
his sails in making his charges, or else
would have overlooked the matter en-
tirely "for the good of the service. >
Col Mitchell has rendered his
county valuable service and il

only stick to the project a great deal
can be accomplished. There is so
reason why the girls can not have

superior to the boys and nowl . their

History will probably record th;:t
the greatest piece of work ever
performed by three men following
q great world war was the working
out of the eparation plan by Legal
Advisor Owen D.. Young OF New
York, Businessman Dawes, our new
Vice-P President, and Banker Robin
son of Los Angeles.
Their report on reparations due
the various nations following foul
years of world war cataclysm, and
then adopted and agreed to at Lon
don Conferences, is being lived up
to by the various nations and car
ried into effect.
Germany, owing the largest bill
of separations of any great nation
in the world, has for three months
past paid her regular installments
to Great Britain, France and other
countries according to schedule, a
total of 227, 100000 gold marks,
ever paying for the American
armies of occupation.
One plain young American bust
ness man, Seymour Parker Gilbert,
Agent-General for PREPARATIONS pay
ments for Our Country, is admins
tering the entire reparations plan.
Was there ever such a demonstra-
ton of the superiority of American
business ideas to the methods of
world politicians, leaders and diplo-
mats?

SMALL INVESTORS KEEP UP
INDUSTRIES.

Since 1921 American railroads
have purchased 454,654 new $2,2oU
ears, 1,34S new $5u,000 locomotives,
and 8,UU0 new $3U,0U0 steel pas
senger cars, at total cost of more
tnan 81, 60U,000,O00. There are still
on order 49,7U2 freight cars ano
zo5 locomotives.
These expenditures are made be-
cause the roads must have equipment
10 give satisfactory service. The
average income rate from railroad
securities is much below standard
mortgage or tax-exempt bond rate.
But for the courage of the small
investors who have come into the
industrial field vacated by so many
big capitalists who buy tax-exempt
securities rather than hold industrl-
ais, there would have been no rail-
road stock or bond market to fin
ance these purchases; and the nation
would be short of railroad service,
the factories short of business, and
the workers short of wages.
Industrials on which the nation
lives should not bear the-burden of
heavier taxes TO make up for what
the tax exempts escape. The ex-
emption is wrong in both theory
and practice; it should be wiped out.
