THREE MODERN FICTION
NUMBERS DISCUSSED AT
WOMAIN'S CLUB MEET

The very interesting and inStruc-
tive program arranged by the lit
erature department of the WinsloW
Woman's club, that had been anti
cipated with much interest by the
club members, was received with
much enthusiasm and pronounced
of a very instructive quality by
those who had the opportunity OF
hearing the several numbers. that
had been arranged by the chair
man, Mrs c. B. Henderson. Mrs.
Henderson opened the Friday af-
ternoon program with discussion
on book week which begins with
the week of November 7. Follow
ing her talk, committee was ap-
pointed by the president, Mrs. G..
H. Madden, as follows: Mrs. c. B.
Henderson, Miss Katherine Kerlin,
high school English teacher and
Miss Verla Dare, Junior high school
English teacher, who will arrange
a book week program for the Wo-
mans club. An excellent book re-
view of Bread by Charles Norris,
was given by Mrs. A. ]. Renaud.
This was followed by a review of
"The job" Sinclair Lewis, and
"This Freedom" A. S. M. Hutchi-
son, given by Mrs. F. H. Murphy.
An open discussion of the problems
handled in these novels, was then
had, resulting in some very inter-
esting subjects being brought out
that are essential in the study of
modern fiction. "A business session,
preceded the program, that was of
brief duration due to the fact that
a number of the delegates were alb
sent at the Northern District con-
vention in Prescott. The next reg
ular business meeting of the club
will be held on November II, at
which time the program will be in
charge of the music section.

NEWLYWEDS "SHIyEREED'

Mr.. and Mrs. Bob Leonard have
been the incentive for much merry
making among the younger set of
Winslow during the past several
evenings, when in large groups,
they put the newlyweds through
the tests of an old fashioned "shiv-
cree The evenings fun and
playing of pranks, as usual culmin-
ated with a treat at one of the local
refreshment stands with Mr. and
Mrs. Leonard as the genial host and
hostess.
Members of the c. G.. G.. Club of
which Mrs. Leonard is a member,
were the organizers of a plot We'd

jectiyes by surprise while at a
bridge game at the home of Mr.

had not been complete the club
members decided, until they had
made an inspection of the new

Big Company Helps
Local Merchants Keen
Business At Home e
JAMES H. KERRY,
Secretary of State.

How one Of the largest manufac-
operates with their dealers to keep
local business in the hands of To-
cal concerns, was interestingly
brought out in a talk with one of
our leading tire merchants last
week.
The company to which he point
ed particularly for its work in this
direction is The United States Rub
Der company, which has perhaps
gone further along these lines than
any other tire concern.
There are several reasons, aside
from the very gOod.speint of keep
ing home money at home, why our
own local tire stores are the logi-
cal place to buy tires rather than
the mail order houses.
Tires need looking after by an
experienced tire man. He must
have a we'll equipped and well
stocked shop and be able to tell
whether a tire is doing it's work
properly, and if not. why not.
For instance, an expert tire man
can tell whether tires are wearing
unduly because of the wheels be-
ing out of alignment and can cor
rect the trouble in time.
If improperly equalized brakes
are causing tire wear, the tire man
can tell that and warn the owner.
This sort of service you cannot
expect when you buy tires from
mail order houses.
The United States Tire company
started eleven years ago to educate
people to their interest in support
ing the legitimate home town tire
dealer.
In addition to running its own
educational campaign in local pap
ers without interruption for eleven
consecutive years, the Company en-
courages the dealer to supplement
it with advertising of his own and
helps him do it. Under certain
conditions it even shares the eX-
pense of the dealers own adyertis-
ing.
Recent improvements in prOduc-
ton methods now enable the Uui-
ted States Rubber company to
market, through the local dealers,
tires of known quality, bearing the
.Company's trade mark and full war
ranty, for as little money or even
less than the cost of mail order
tires or off-brand tires Of uncertain
value.

Don't live on brush and grass
But dote on picked turtle bones
With pork and apple sass.
They also relish asphalt, pitch,
And mandragora seed.
