DOES WEIGHT COUNT?

1t assuredly does. Take for illustration the 31x5.25
size. The Dayton Stabilized Balloon Tire is
from THREE to EIGHT POUNDS HEAVIER
than any Of the more popular brands on the mar
ket. The main portion of this greater weight is
on the tread Isn't this the place where the wear
occurs Then. too-this heavier tire contains NO
lifeless Reclaimed Rubber-which produces that
uneven wearing or quick wearing tread which 50
many tires today are showing. The Dayton is
Surer-Stouter-Safer. If you are not one of the
many enthusiastic Dayton users, call at our Store
TO-DAY. Investigate further the QUALITY and
SERVICE which a Dayton Tire can render you.

HOOVER "ON THE .JOR,,

While most Of Us have forgotten all about the
1000 IN the Mississippi Valley reconstruction and re-
haoltaton work Is going there under the efficient
direction Of Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce.
Mention OF Hoover prompts the thought that
mere is man Of whom the entire nation NAV we'll be
proud There was particular significance about the
caoinet dinner rendered by President Coolidge to Col
onel !4ndbergh on the latter's return from France
All the members of the cabinet were there for the
Official function with the exception Of the Secretary
OF OF commerce. Hoover was ION the job along the
MISSISSIPPI directing rescue work. overseeing the ref
ugee camps. advising where levees should be rebuilt
or abandoned and taking care of nnumerable de-
tailed work.
This fact is reflection on the other cabinet
members They We're where they should be, and
Hoover was where he needed most However in
the past there have been many instances where cab
net members were political fgureheads having
su5ordnates who conducted their departments for
them Not so with Hoover Nor did he limit his activ-
tiles to overseeing, advising suggesting. He actual
ly worked many times eighteen and twenty hours
day,
One wonders if Hoover is as much appreciated by
his country he should be. His splendid record be-
fore during and since the war is credit to the Unit
ed States, and best Of all is credit to Hoover him
self. He may be in politics. but he is not politician
in the usual sense OF the word He is public servant
of the highest type and the nation is fortunate in hay
ing man with his brains and ability to help run its
government.

STATES SHOULD REACH AGREEMENT

Governor Dern Of Utah has suggested a confer
ence of the OF the Colorado river basin
states to be held next month"; for the purpose of dis
cussng matters relative to control of the river.
The Utah executives suggestion has met with
hearty approval of Governor Young and doubtless
will be equally we'll received by the other five gov
errors.
The chief executives of the seven states are to
meet with the river commissions appointed by each
state and it is the hope of Governors Dern and Young
that state compact, agreeable to all par
ties concerned will he the result of their deliberations.
Their hope will be echoed by the people of Impe-
rial Valley, who most vitality concerned where it is
a question of the Colorado river.
December will SIC the big chance for the Swing
Johnson bill. If by that time the river states have
ironed OUT their differences it is going to be difficult
to stop congress from passing the BILL Even Senator
Ashurst of Arizona, who largely responsible for
blocking passage of the bill at the last session of
gress declares that will pass at the next session
The conference of the governors will be long
step in this direction. Governor Dern and the state of
Utah have been opposed to the bill, sincerely feeling
that it was putting Utahs rights in jeopardy. Meet
ing on a common grounds, with all parties anxious
for settlement of differences should bring success
to the governors undertaking and unite the seven
states to the end that the national government will be
ready and willing aid the solution of the greatest
problem in the Southwest.
