She remembered the last time
she had seen him, in Mrs. Brooke's

had almost killed Mark Trelaw.
After an act So n1erciless she

At the same instant the hall

Sally'S eyes with a significant

Uncle Wiggily was looking for his

then all of a sudden Uncle Wiggily
found it. He found it by stumbling
into it, for he WASH t looking where
he was going and in an instant he
had fallen plop into the water with

hole in the sand with their shovels,
the rabbit girls had filled the well
with water, carrying it in their pals

gone away to play some other game,

from behind sand dune.

Proper Brakes
Conserve Tires

Educational campaigns conducted
by the various tire manufacturers
through their advertising and deal
er organizations have taught most
motorists the need for strict atten-
tion to the care of their tires.
"Practically every motorist to-
day knows the importance of prop
cr initiation. care of cuts, and a
voiding running against the curb o.
in ruts,' says Clyde McPheeters
of Ell Centre, local Fisk tire dealer,
"but few realize what an import
ant part the brakes play in the life
of tires.
Poorly adjusted brakes are the
cause of many tire failures that
come to my attention within the
course of a month";" points out Me-
Pheeters. When brakes are not
properly adjusted, the wheel having
the tightcst brake band locks first
when the brake is applied. The
locked wheel slides along the road,
grinding off the tire tread. Con-
tinued driving with brakes uneven
ly adjusted wears one tire out all
too soon.
