GENERAL TIRE AND RUBBER COMPANY HAS NEVER FAILED TO PAY DIVIDENDS Common stockholders of Thr> Genera! Tire & Rubber company will receive their regular quarterly dividend I checks this week. Payment of the' ! dividend, at two per cent per quarter, hns been authorized by the directors, and it is noted In financial circles that the company has not omitted paying a dividend, either on common or preferred stock, since its formation eight years ago. This is reflected In the market stock quotations. General Common being well over 200, with none for sale. The next quarterly dividend on preferred is due October 1. The management reports the larg est year's business, both in units and in dollars, in the company’s, history, and it is interesting to note that General’s business has been larger each succeeding year, even in the midst of the recent depression. General’s product consists of pneumatic tires and tubes in all sizes, for passenger car and commercial work. All of Its tires are sold through dealers to the consuming public, and the factory is now working at capacity production. The success of this company, through a time in which there hat been much stress and trouble for others in the same line, has attracted much attention. Wm. O'Neil, vice president and general manager, attributes it to dealers co-operation production of quality goods and the I fact that the company does not taki any so-called “original equipment’’ business from car manufacturers. Mr. O’Neil was recently quioted by System, thus: “The last two years have cleared the air. The business mortality among tire manufacturers has been high and the mortality among dealers has been enormous. Now the tire industry is having a new start. Thoughtful survivors, both in tire making and tire selling, realize thoroughly, perhaps for the first time in their business lives, that their vocation is no different from any other so far as basic principles are concerned —The discriminating tire buyer does not buy because a tire is cheap. He buys when he needs tires and because of the security and mileage they will give him. “We have some 600 dealers who handle only our tires—dealers, that is, in cities of more than 10,000 population. Take the hundred largest cities in the United States. In 43 of them the General tire agent has the largest business in his town.” Franz and Murray are the Decatur representatives.

BELLED BUZZARD IN WEST VIRGINIA Marlinton, W. Va„ July 28 —The far-famed “belled” buzzard, claimed by pioneer residents to be more than Pocahontas, Monroe and Mercer counties. Superstitious residents fear a disaster is imminent, in which there will be a great loss of life. They point to past occasions when the buzzard made its appearance, which were followed by calamities. For three months prior to the Cabin Creek strike, nine years ago. The buzzard circled the territory in aI radius of 100 miles. Later it was reported to have been seen on the Mex-' lean border when there was fighting between the U. S. troops and Villa's forces. The bird returned to West Virginia several years ago, when there was loss of life by floods. For a year it was in Mingo county. A Wolf Creek resident said he saw the bird a few days ago. He could plainly hear the bell. Local history has it that the buz zard was captured by pioneer resi dents shortly after the war of 1812. The story goes that two men captured the bird, tied the bell to the buzzard's neck and allowed it to escape. No one has been able to approach the buzzard, and residents are afraid to shoot it. SHAVED LINCOLN FOR $lO AND TOBACCO Akia, Okla., August I—Charley Wesley Ellis, 118, “Patriarch of Pontotoc county,” is believed to be the oldest white man in Oklahoma. Ellis’ life has been one of adventure. He was born in Alaska, and, at the age I of four, he was stolen from his parents land brought to the United States. Ellis serve under General A. J. 'Smith and Sheridan in Tennesee and Georgia. Once, while soldiering in the Union army, Ellis acted as barber for Abraham Lincoln, who was visiting the front. He got $lO and a plug of tobacco for the shave. He also acted as barber ofr General Grant. “Don't” worry” was the best advice Ellis could give to prospective centenarians.

WALLACE DOES HIS STUFF Ponoa City, Okla., July 28 “Aro all bets placed gentlemen? "We are about to spin the little wheel. "All right, Wnllace —do your stuff!” And this nt police headquarters. The wheel is a bona fide roulette wheel, confiscated in a recent raid. The gamblers aro policemen. The stakes are matches. And Wallace — Wallace is a trained squirrel, the pot of the department. Ho is the official croupier of hoad- ' quarters' "gambling hell.” Wallace operates the wheel by a unique method. He is placed in the bowl and runs like a streak of greased lightning. The fact that he simply stands still and pushes the wheel backward j only adds more “kick” to ft, literally speaking, from Wallace's standpoint. - When the roulette wheel is spin- ■ ning at the required speed, some copI per places a practiced hand on the I back of Wallace's neck and lifts him I off. 1 The wheel stops and the winner is j announced. Then Wallace “does” 1 his "stuff” again. I Watch the sidewalk for dollars. 11-2 SULPHURSOOTHES I UGLY.
