This is one bill that can vote on with

You can't possibly go wrong.
Senator Child of Hennepin: I was
up North last summer. Talked to the
people along the border waters They
said somebody was buying up the shore

put in dams. When? Oh, when he
gets ready. Now don't know a thing
about this bill, not single thing, but
that's what they say us North.
Senator NORM of st. Louis: Seems to
me somebody Is trying to keep us from
being heard on this bill-those of us up
North. Somebody's trying to foreclose
on us. Think we ought to get fair
treatment up North.
Senator Long of Hubbard: The COM
mittee met and had three hearings,
maybe four hearings. 1t voted 10 to 2
to report the bill out. Judge for your
self If the hearing was fair hearing.

Though the Ford tires are
designated as 80 x 4.5O,
they have the resiliency and
air space of much larger
tires because of the drop
center rim of the steel.spoke
wheels.
For best results, the tires
on the new Ford should be
kept inflated to an air pres
sure of IS pounds and
checked regularly to insure
this pressure all the time.
This is important. Low in.
fation breaks down the side
walls of a tire. By causing
Overheating, it also destroys
the rubber that acts as an
insulation, with consequent
separation of the cord.
AT the end of each 5000
miles, when you have the
front wheels packed with
grease, it is a good plan to
have the wheel alignment
checked. This will prevent
premature wear.
When punctures come, as
they will with any tire, you
will find the Ford dealer
particularly well-equipped
to make repairs quickly and
at small cost. See him, too,
for replacements. Then
you will be sure of getting
tires built specially for the
Ford car according
~ to definite Ford
- specifications.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1929-03-22

WHEN the new Ford was de-
signed, it was Immediately
apparent that a new tire
would have to be made to
match the cars perform
ance. 1t was distinctly a new
problem, for here was a car
with quicker acceleration,
greater speed and more
braking efficiency than any
car of similar size or weight.
So that every Ford owner
might be assured of maxi
mum tire mileage at the low
est cost, the Ford Motor
Company devoted many
months to research and
experiment in conjunc-
ton with the leading tire
manufacturers.
As a result, certain def.
mite specifications were de-
veloped for tires for the new
Ford. These specify cords of
certain strength and texture,
a large volume of tread and
side-wall rubber, sturdy nom
skid design, and reinforced
plies for protection against
bruise breaks-all the
strong features of construc-
ton formerly considered
for only the largest tires.
Great care also was taken
to secure the best ridingqual-
tiles i'm connection with the
transverse springs
and the Houdaille -
shock absOrbers. ~

SD. The Lesson-Sermon also in
cluded the following passages from
the Christian Science textbook,
"Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: " Though | walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,
l will fear no evil (Psalms 23:4).
Though the way is dark in mortal
sense, Divine Life and Love illum
inc it, destroy the unrest of mortal
thought, the fear of death, and the
supposed reality Of error. Christian
Science contradicting sense, maketh
the valley to bud and blossom as

nobody had never saw anything like it
before they would all be telling every

It generally makes them think of is
that its not going to rain.
VILE we are looking up at some little

alive on it and feeling sorry for them
so far away up there in case there Is,
somebody up there may be looking at
the erth at the same time and wonder
ing If people live here and If We have
sents enough to tawk and difrent things
the same as them.
This proves no matter how wonderful
we are its wrong to think we are SO

the people UP on some star million
miles up in the air may of invented the

born with perfeck educations.
Some stars are hundreds of times
bigger than the whole erth put together,
so even If you owned the ntire werld
you wouldsnt be so much considering.

satisfied If they thawt too much about
It,

Of a star 1t would proberly make the

There would be no hunting that night

he had lost a toe in a dreadful steel
trap. Of course, It had panied him a
great deal at first, but the cold had

1000 Pheasants for Ruler.

One thousand pheasants were de-
livered recently from Europe to the
sporting estate Of the Maharajah Of
Patiala in the Punjab of India. They
made their 1000 mile journey by rail
and sea with only about 1 per cent
loss. The birds, which are ordinary
Monaghan pheasants, travelled In speci-
ally designed crates. It required about
two months to prepare their food for
the journey. It is estimated that by
the time the birds reached Patiala
they had cost $40 each, whereas the
price in Europe is about Sits. At the
request of the Maharajah q white
pheasant is being bred for his estate.
