h ISSe Goodyear Fortified Tires Cost Users $5,000,000 Less

Our last price reduction—made February Ist—will save Goodyear users about five million year. And that was our thirel reduction in two years, totaling 45 per cent. Yet Note This Yet Goodyear Fortified Tires embody many extras. Five are costly features found in no other tire. The rest are found in few. If we omitted those extras, we could save on this year’s probable output $1,635,000. We could add that to our profits, yet Goodyear tires would look as.

good as now. This year’s improvements alone will cost us $500,000 this year. All to give you ex-

tra wear. And we shall spend SIOO,OOO on research this year to find more improvements still. They Are Yours These extras belong to you. They mean less rim-cuts, less blowouts, less loose treads.

Any dealer, if you ask him, will supply you Goodyear tires.

Men are now adopting Goodyear tires faster than we scan supply them. We have never seen anything like it.

to the fact his helpers are celebrating. Mrs. Shein of Monon, came up the latter part of the week to visit home folks and pick strawberries. The 4th of July celebration seems as of the past as we have heard but little of any, perhaps because it/ comes on Sunday. Mrs. C. A. Gundy and son, Charles, accompanied Mrs. William Cottingham home to Monience the latter part of the week. Clint Thornton and wife and little son and Grandpa Sheffer and son, Jess, of Morocco, were visitors at t'.’.e writer’s Saturday. Lawler’s men hauled out two new binders to the ranch here Tuesday to harvest their wheat and rye crop, which is quite extensive. Dr. ltice of Roselawn, was called Wednesday morning to see Mat Lacosse’s little girl, who was seriously sick with some kind of fever. Barney Dewitt, our supervisor, just unloaded and had a carload of gravel hauled out on the roads. This certainly looks good to us.

Mrs. Youdersmith of Brook, came up the first of the week to visit her husband, who is thatching and farming his oak land farm over in Newton county. S. Brokus went to Hammond Wednesday and secured a couple of hands to carry on -his cement work here, and will now stay on the job until finished. There were some fellows in town Wednesday and Thursday canvassing for a magazine company, located in lowa, but what success they had we did not learn. 1 We are having fine weather nowadays. Corn is considerably behind for this time, but is beginning to look quite well. The nights are too cool for corn but "just the article” for small grain. Moses Karr met with a very serious accident the first of the week, of which the results are uncertain. While he and aTbrother was engaged in cutting logs for their sawmill, near Zadoc, the tree they were cutting kicked back and knocked him down and fell across his stomach, severely crushing him and breaking several ribs. He was taken to Lafayette for care and treatment. "Stub” Gundy and Julia Bozell thought they would put one over their friends last week by slipping off up to Crown Point and getting married, but it seems that it leaked out before they were hardly out of town. “Stub” has so far recovered from his recent sick spell that he was able to go back to his job in Gary the first of the week. They will not begin housekeeping until after the 4th.

FOUR CORNERS.

A number of the sports from Tefft ’went to Kouts Monday night to take in the show. Mr. Stuppy of Porter county, with his family, visited at his farm near Wheatfield Sunday. John Collins and wife of Knox, visited over Sunday with his brother, D. A. Collins, of near Tefft. Mrs. F. W. Fisher returned home Monday after a few days visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Noland, at Lee, The Parr ball team failed to make good Sunday at Dunn’s bridge. Past experience convinced them that the pace was too fast in the north part of the county for them. Too cold for corn, which is making poor growth and is looking quite sick on account of the lack of heat. Most of the fields are in good condition. The small grain is exceptionally good. Curtis Steel, working for W. H. Marble, was thrown and his right leg broken Saturday. He was riding a horse which threw him and then kicked him on the leg, with the above results. Two large dancing halls are being built at the river, one on each side of the bridge, so put on those golden slippers and come to Dunn’s bridge the lid. -Been-on the north and lemonade on the south side. Debs, the e,x-city marshal, came near losing his home Wednesday. He was absent from home when the fire was discovered, but the prompt action of the fire brigade saved the building, although a part of the furniture was consumed. How the fire originated is not known, but some supposed from the old cob pipe. The Streator Browns have come and gone, and one more scalp has been placed to the credit of the Wheatfield team. The visiting team topk their departure in good spirit —it was so decisive they could do nothing else. They were a good bunch but started on the wrong foot, and were defeated by the score of 10 to 2. Xext Sunday the Kankakee Colts will visit Wheatfield and will try the team to the utmost. They are Ad, or at least have that reputation. They may hpld to this reputation if they defeat the Regulars, but will be obliged to travel at a merry pace to do so. The home boys are on their mettle. They have started off right and are hitting the ball hard. The management is of the best this season and you may come when you will and one and all will meet you with a smile —no grouch this season is the motto.

Here’s Proof

A Rensselaer Citizen Tells of His s Experience. You have a right to doubt statements of people living far away but can you doubt Rensselaer endorsement? Read it: William Clift, 528 College ave., Rensselaer, says: "I had kidney and bladder trouble and my hack ached severely. I didn’t sleep wen and was annoyed by a too frequent desire to pass the kidney secretions. I took doctors’ medicine but found no relief until I used Doan’s Kidney Pills. Since then my back hasn i troubled me and I have felt better in every way. It gives me great pleasure to endorse Doan’s Kidney Pills.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills——the same that Mr. Clift had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.—Advt.

New Ditch Cleaning Law.

Much of the ditch cleaning and repair work that has been under the supervision of the county surveyor the past eight years is now placed in charge of the township trustees by virtue of an act of the recent state legislature. • All open ditches or drains except dredge ditches, and all tile drains, and the necessary worn to keep ah ditch banks clear of rubbish and vegetable growth that would affect the flow of water, is turned over to the trustee. This new law directs that all open ditches except dredged ones shall he divided into two classes—those that need to be cleaned out at once and those that can wait another year. The first class shall be cleaned out yet this year and the second class in 1916, and then to alternate thereafter. These classes no not necessarily have to be of equal numbers. The county surveyor or some other competent engineer has to be employed to make proper specifications, showing allotments or stations of 100 feet each, then estimate the number of cubic yards of dirt to be removed from each station and the amount of labor necessary. For these labors the surveyor is to receive $4.00 per day and his deputy not to exceed $2.00 and the whole cost is not to of the ditch to be cleaned. After these specifications have filed, the trustee is required to advertise for bids and let the contract to the lowest and best bidder Advertising must he done through the newspaper nearest the ditch in question and by posting notices in five public places in the township. Owners are given preference at the same rate to the extent of individual assessments over any other! contractor.

As to the drains, the trustee is empowered to repair them at any time when he is given notice that an emergency exists for the work. If the work is likely to amount to more than SIO.OO he is required to advertise for bids and let a contract. All brush, weeds, willows, trees or other natural growth that interferes with the flow of the water or are on the ditch banks must removed during the month of July. An exception is made where trees or brush are left

to prevent unnatural washing of the banks. Where the work will costless than SIO.OO the trustee can order it done directly. Where more than SIO.OO is to be spent he has to advertise for bids and let a contract. To secure funds with which to meet expenses incurred the trustee is required to provide a fund to be known as an Emergency Fund. It is to be created by a levy on the ditch owners in equitable proportions of approximately one per cent of the original cost of the ditch. This assessment is paid direct to the township trustee in four equal installments at intervals of 30 days each after the work has begun on any repair. If necessary assessment is to be made every two years unless there be enough in the township treasury of the former assessment to do the necessary work and then there’ll be none made until Until money is received from assessment to pay for work the trustee is permitted to use township funds to be replaced when the Emergency Fund is available.

• There is virtue in a corncob pipe. Many women will deny this. Some, who have endured its herculean odor for the sake of the quieting effect it seemed to exert over a husband who is given to occasional manifestations of ill temper, will declare that while it may have virtues at times, it is never more virtuous than when reposing in an airtight fruit jar on the cellar stairs. Nevertheless, the corncob pipe is not a thing to be sneered at. It is a democratic institution. One evidence of the fact that this country is not so democratic as foreigners believe, is that according to the code of an American gentleman the corncob pipe must not be smoked while wearing a silk hat. On the other hand, it may be for this reason that Americans so seldom affect the silk hat. But some men find difficulty in adapting themselves to the Missouri meerschaum.’' They contend that the first; puff from a new corncob pipe is like a breath from the nether regions. This aversion arises from the circumstance that, like a sponge, a new cob pipe should be dipped in water before it is used. After the first pipeful of tobacco has been smoked it will be found that a liberal coat of ashes has attached itself to the walls of the pipe, rendering it thereafter much less likely to burn the tongue than if jit were initiated without the formality of baptism. There is one place, however, where the cob pipe is distinctly dangerous, and that is in the mouth of
