OBITUARY Henry Colter, sou of Jacob and] Carolina Colter, was born In Irnsch wiler, province of Hheinbergeu, Germany. March 28, 1848, and departed this life February 24. 1929, age 80 years, io months and 27 days. With his parents and one older brother ho <ame t<> America in 1862. This journey was made by sail boat taking ti.l days to make the Journey from Frankfort, Get many to New York City. On ihe way across the Atlantic a number of the passengers were stricken with the smallpox, one of them being the mother. Upon arriving at New York they were detained there for several weeks until she recovered, after which the journey was made by tail road from New York City to Buffalo, again embarking on u lake sail boat and traveling to Cleveland. Ohio, then again boarding a canal boat and traveling to Dover, Ohio. Near this place they lived with relatives for a short time and later purchased a farm. They had resided here six weeks when the father, Jacob Colter, was taken ill with pneumonia and passed away leaving tlie mother with the two sons, Henry and Jacob to face the world alone. Later the mother was married to Jacob Pflngstag. This again brought a father into the home to help this small family. To this union was born two sons and four daughters. Mr. Colter lived on the farm with | his parents until he reached his maI jority at which time lie decided to learn the trade of wagon maker and the carpetner trade. He served his apprenticeship and became very efficient in the profession he had chosen and which he followed for 14 years. In IS7I he was married to Ellen E. Rennels, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sampson Rennels of Bolivar, Ohio, and to this union was born four sons. W. A. Colter, Willshire, Ohio, deceased, who passed away about ten days ago; Ben S. Colter, Bobo, Indiana: Charles H. and Earl D. Colter of Decatur, Indiana. In 1563 he was confirmed in the German Lutheran church at Strasburg, Ohio, and continued a faithful member of this church until his marriage at which time he and his wife became members of the Evangelical Lutheran church at Bolivar, Ohio, and on coming to Indiana they brought their church letters along and joined the Mt. Tabor M. E. church at Boho. Indiana. He was an active member and worked in all the activities of the church, until the time of his death. While his early education was very limited yet by persistent efforts and study on his own part he became very proficient in talking on all subjects of intel est as well as a very proficient Bible student. His idea of carrying on the Gospel was to convince rather than to argue and the precept of his life was “Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well." This motto was always held before him in every piece of work he undertook to do. In ISSI he purchased a sawmill near Decatur. Indiana, and with his family moved from Bolivar, Ohio, to the home about five miles east of Decatur, which later became known as Bobo, Indiana. He operated this mill continuously until about three years ago when he retired from the business. He also operated a second sawmill at Schumm, Ohio, which he began in 1890 and continued It operation for 25 years. The mill at Schumm, Ohio, was under the management of W. A. Colter, the oldest son and later Earl D. Colter until its discontinuance. He has been very successful in the sawmill business and has made many friends among the lumber men over a wide range of territory. He has always been looked upon as an honest and dependable man that would always make good. He leaves to mourn his loss, his bereaved wife, Ellen E. Colter, at Bobo, Indiana, his sons: Ben S. Colter. Bobo, Indiana; Charles H. and Earl D. Colter of Decatur, Indiana; Mrs, Harriett Colter, widow of the late W. A. Colter, of Willshire, Ohio; ' on brother, Jacob, of Bycyrus, Ohio, two half brothers, Phillip Pflngstag of Strasburg, Ohio, George Pflngstag, of Bolivar, Ohio, four hal fsisters, Mrs. Marie Kline, Leonidas, Michigan, Mrs. Phoebe Hartline, Mrs. Wm. Meyers, of Strasburg, Ohio, and Mrs. Katie Hartline of Canton, Ohio, seven grandsons, four grand daughters, five great grandsons, one great granddaughter and one great grandson deceased, besides a multitude of close relatives and friends. The community in which he lived will miss his counsel, his help and liis efforts which attended his walk of life and made a better community in which to live. Funeral services from Mt. Tabor M. E. church at Bobo, Indiana, Wednesday morning, February 27th at 10:30 o'clock, Rev. H. R. Forbes, pastor and Rev. N. P. Barton, former pastor now of Geneva, and Rev. R. W.

Tires for the new Ford are specially made to give long wear < «

WHEN the new Ford was designed, it was immediately apparent that a new tire would have to be made to match the car’s performance. It 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 Ire assured of maximum tire mileage at the lowest cost, the Ford Motor Company devoted many months to research and experiment in conjunction w ith the leading tire manufacturers. As a result, certain definite specifications were developed for tires for the uew Ford. These specify cords of certain strength and texture, a large volume of tread and side-wall rubber, sturdy non-skid design, ami reinforced plies for protection against bruise breaks- —all the strong features of construction formerly considered for only the largest tires. Great care also was taken to secure the best riding qualities in connection with the transverse springs and Houdaille shock absorbers used on the new Ford. Though the Ford tires are 30 x 4.50 in size, they have the resiliency and air space of much larger tires because of the drop center rim of the steel spoke wheels.

Another unusual feature of llio new Ford tires is the provision for balancing the tire assembly. Every tire is marked on the sidewall with a red spot to show where the valve stem should be when the tube is inserted. This is just a little thing, but it assures a uniformly high standard of tire performance at all speeds. For best results, the tires on the new Ford should be kept inflated to an air pressure of 35 pounds and checked regularly to insure this pressure all the time. This is important. Low inflation 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 the possibility of premature wear of the tires. When punctures come, as they will with any tire, you will find the Ford dealer particularly wellequipped 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.
