STONY MAN CAMP, SKYLAND,
Va, September 24.-The charm of the
Autumn season is still weaving its
spell at Skyland, causing earlier ar.
rivals to linger on indefinitely and
bringing additional ones up to the
camp almost daily. Life in conse-

trend atop of old Stony Man Noun

peaks and ridges, and tennis matches
on the tennis courts in camp (nuch

the leading daytime occupations. In
the evening. besides the customary
dances and card parties still on the
weekly program, are corn roasts and
other unique entertainments which
have helped to make Skyland famous.
The special highlight Of the past
week was the annual all-day picnic
trip to Crescent Rock. The move
from camp began shortly after break
fast with the start Of the great four

range and various other equipment
for cooking on the grounds the

the common rendezvous on the gi.

more Of the surrounding country, in

Oversize Tires Will
Give More Mileage

-"The use of oversize tires will en-
able many motorists to get much
greater satisfaction and longer mile
age than with regular tires" ac-
cording to +. A. Copelin of the Cope
lin Motor company. Firestonc deal
ers in Bismarck.
Motor cars are equipped with
tires that are ample for ordinary
use, provided they are inflated to
the correct pressure. However. most
motorists abuse their tires by over
loading them and through failure to
keep them pumped up
"Oversizing allows much greater
margin Of safety. and in the long
run justifies the extra expense. There
are many advantages to using over
size tires, including more comfort
able riding, better braking with less
tendency to skid, and less tire trou-
bic. The larger tire is not so easily
cut or bruised and the tread wears
much longer
Last, but not least, the oversize
tire will average far greater mile
age. which in terms Of cost per mile,
means economy. In tires as in ev-
erything else, it pays to buy de-
pendable, quality merchandise and
FirestOnes have long established
reputation for being leader in that
field"

North Dakota Will

commission intended to promote
commercial relationships between
the United States and the Argen-
tine as we'll as other South Ameri-
can republics will be ignored, in so
far as he is concerned, Governor

At the same time the executive
made public q letter which he had
received from Frank B. Kellogg,
secretary Of state, in which it was
pointed out that the proposed COM
mission and the Pan-American
Congress, which is promoting it,
has no official status.
Sorlie said he had received
several letters asking him to name

Renyille Co. Man
Says Loan Is Paid;
Fisher Claims Not

Whether or not a Renville county
farmer paid the state treasurer $500
in cash in settlement of q state
school land loan probably will be
the question at issue in q law suit
scheduled to be filed soon, it was
said at the state trcasurcr's office
today.
The state treasurer's books show
that the loan has not been paid but
receipt has been issued b. the
treasurer's office and is in the hands
of the man who claims the loan has
been paid. State Treasurer e. A.
Fisher said the receipt was issued
through q clerical error and that
the money never has been paid.
The Renville county man claims
that he sent the $500 to the state
treasurer in the form of currency,
Fisher said, despite the fact that he
is supposed to have sent in the same
envelope draft covering the inter-
est due on the loan. Fishers view
is that when the man received the
receipt for payment of the principal
on his loan he Immediately realized
that a mistake had been made and
concocted a story to justify himself
in taking advantage Of the error.
Fisher said he is confident that
the money never was received at his
office since the mail is opened by no
one but himself and a, trusted deputy
and the receipt Of so much currency
in an unregistered letter would in
.evitably have created comment be-
cause it is so unusual.
He hopes to induce the states
late debtor to admit that he is in
error and reinstatc the loan, Fisher
said. In the event of continued fail
urc, however, suit will be filed in
Renvillc county in an effort to prove
that the receipt was issued by acct
dent and the man never paid the
money. ~ &4'fFss t.

The Real Reasons
For Car Ownership

IF the man who owns car will
seriously analyze his feelings about
it. he will find that what he really
bought the car for was to provide
the means Of getting to and from
places quickly and economically"
says J. II. Healow, retail sales man
ager for the Lahr Motor Sales com
pany.
Yet We find any number of car
shoppers ignoring the fact that auto
motive transportation is the prime
consideration in car purchase. Pop
ularity of make or model, body lines
and colors, unusual specification fea-
lures. are often allowed to influ-
ence the judgment of the car buyer
to the exclusion of more important

to join in the movement, Milhollan
said, in an effort to reduce the toll
Of accidents Of all kinds. Preach
ers will be asked to speak on the
subject OF safety and every other
available means will be used to pro-
mote the safety idea, Milhollan
said.
The object, he explained, is. to
induce persons to think more on
the subject, thereby planting in
their minds the fact that safe prac-
tees may result not only in saving
the lives Of their neighbors and
their children but their own lives.
