Mark recently decided to sell out
his dairy herd and for that purpose
held a sale yesterday. Among the
stock was short horned bull, who
was included in the sale. When it
came time for Mr.. Bull to be placed
on the block, Mark went to lead
him from his corral.
The bull was trailing on a lead
rope a few feet behind Mark, and
suddenly took a dislike to the rear
view of the latter $ anatomy. When
bull dislikes he dislikes strongly
and has to give some manifestation
to his dislike.
This particular bull followed the

putting him over a fence, snorted q

The horror of the spectators fad

of laughter as they recalled the

y hose familiar with tire history will
remember the early experimental days
when the only way manufacturer could
express his confidence in his product was
by Offering a definite mileage guarantee.
They will recall how, due to misuse,
the definite figure inevitably was pushed
beyond all sensible bounds.
As tires improved in quality the whole
theory and practice of definite mileage"
commitments was pushed into the back
ground and finally rejected by standard
tire companies as unfair and uneconomi-
cal to the tire-uSer.

used as an unfair sales inducement rather
than as a protection for the buyer.
The industry then shifted from the
costly, advertising of mileage claims to the
building of real mileage into the tires.
As a result, tire values have steadily
improved, to the benefit of all users
alike, although prices are today the losvest

The prevailing practice of these manu-
facturers, who produce over $3.50 of the
tires in the United States, is expressed
by the broadest standard tire guarantee in
the history of the industry.

that it benefited the driver who misused

Western Dispatch Dies


After a long hard struggle of some
two years, during which there were
times you could not discern any life
in the paper. the erstwhile Western
Dispatch. published by w. ]. Jones,
gave up the ghost and has gone the
way of all such short lived publica-
tiOns. The recent automobile contest
held by this paper was the direct
cause of its death. Of course, there
were several contributing causes, but
the subscription contest in which
automobiles, diamonds and what nots
were offered as prizes, simply took
the life out of the Western Dispatch.
1t is now a thing of the past-an un-
pleasant memory to many. May ii
rest in peace.

WASHINGTON. April 12.-Ap-

Birch Helms, of the TeXas-Pacific
Oil Company, made the rounds of
Washington in the spring of 1922
seeking a lease on Teapot Dome, he
testified.
II was referred to Secretary Fall"
Helms declared. "He told me he would
be glad to consider a proposition"
Sinclair had actually signed lease
a week before this, on April Z.
Helms then returned to Fort Worth
to confer with his company and pre-
pare bid. From the papers, however,
he learned Of the Sinclair lease. He
promptly wired not only Fall but also
President Harding in protest against
the discrimination. Other kilograms
went to Attorney General Daugherty,
Secretary of Commerce Hoover and
Secretary of War Weeks. Helms was
demanding an interview with Hard
ing.
Daugherty failed to answer; Weeks
wired that for good reasons" he
couldn't do anything; Hoover replied
he knew nothing about the matter
and George Christian, secretary tc
the president, wired that an appoint
rent with Mr.. Harding was impos-
Sible.
Fall answered saying merely: "Tea-

Kenosha Hose Strikers

KENOSHA, Wis, April 10 (FP)
Federal injunctions against picketing
don't look any bigger to the Kenosha
hosiery strikers than does the owner
of the Allen-A plant. They are sue
cessfully fighting the boss and since
the government lines up with him
they are taking it on too. AS if in

union leaders that opens in federal

Of pickets swamped police and detec-
tives in the streets leading to the

sneaked out of the gate.

view is pretty closely bound I'M with
the outcome of the fight for union
recognition and against speed-ups
being waged against the $4,000 900
Kenosha mill. It is owned by eastern
capital.
The normal output of the mill is
5000 dozen pair of women's silk hose
day. Production since the strike
began in January has dropped to $50
dozen a day and of such poor quality
that the Allen-A trade name is kept
off the stockings.
