The Yearly Tire Waste Would Buy Eight Best First Class Battle Ships LOS ANGELES, CAL.—In 1919 approximately 17,000,000 tires representing an original-expenditure of fully $500,000,000, were ] taken from the wheels of passenger cars and trucks and replaced, according to estimates of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company of California, Statisticians estimate that fully one-third of the amount represented by wasted mileage might have been saved by the use of simple- conservation methods, f For this $166,000,000 lhat might have been saved by tire conservation annually, a highway could be built across the continent each year the nation honeycombed with shorter roads. Eight first-class battleships could be built for our navy for the same acount of money wasted, or a canal equal- to that at Panama could be constructed from the money wasted in ’“■ three years. * It is a proven fact that your tire expense can be cut" at least one-third by conservation, or in other words, by having them repaired instead of sticking a boot in them or throwing them on the junk pile. .. We are prepared to do first class repairing on fabric.and cord tires. Satisfaction guaranteed. - v - ' " T- . A-' , * ' . * " ~~ -- Nappanee Rubber Cos. • M. C. BEECHLEY, Prop. Phone 393, Nappanee '

INTERESTING LETTER FROM MERRIMACK, WIS. Merrimack, Wls, Dee. IS, 1921. Edilor Advance-News, Nappanee, Ind. Dear Sir: The Nappanee Andvance-News is a welcome visitor at our home every week, and this is the way I get most of the news from home. The crops out here have been pretty good this year, except small grain, which produced only about one-half a crop. Potatoes were good, but there was not a very large crop, and the corn was gtfod. This has-been the busiest year of my life, as f*have been busy since last January-all the time. I have 60 acres to work, and then I take in outside work, such as hauling gravel, sand, clay or wood, or even other work, as I have had a number of calls to move household goods, and at present I have on hand two jobs of hauling cord wood, so you can see I am kept busy at all times. The times are rather hard here, the same as all other places, and there are quite a few people, idle, but most of them do not like to work anyway. About a year ago I hauled sand and clay for a man that ships it to foun-

dries for molding, and I hold first [dace there. When I have no work there, I can gbt work some other place. • ~ ' I planted 20 acres of corn last spring and had the best corn in the neighborhood, about. 800 bushels. The reason I get so much work away from home is because I live close to town, and I get work from town people and there are only a few men that have teams to do any hauling at all, and a few of them, when they do any work,* only haul about half a load and expect to get pay for a. full load. I get 70 cents an ’ hour for team work. ■ We hate all been w T ell most of the time the past year, only my wife and "children mad the whooping cough ikst spring and in the summer. I often think of the people in and around Nappanee, and then I wish I could get back to my home people, at least for awhile, but that seems impossible for sometime yet. First of all, I must see that I make a living for my family, and this year I will Just about break even until I-get my taxes and interest paid. It seems strange to me to pay all of my taxes on or before January 31st-of "each year.

NAPPANEE TOUNG MAN WRITES FROM CALIFORNIA Whittier, Calif. Dec. 20, 1921. Dear Mr. Blair: 1 promised to write In case I found anything in California which was out of the ordinary, or different from rise usual experiences of the tourist, so I will write about my first visit to one of the new oil fields of Southern California. We finished our first two evangelistic cainaigns and now I am enjoying a two weeks’ vacation before our next meeting starts at Pomona. lam glad for the rest too, as 1 have- been singing every night for six weeks, first at Lindsay ami next in one of the Los Angeles churches. This week end I am visiting Lawrence Miller’s on their orange ranch near Whittier. Mr. Miller lived near Wakarusa, Ird., until he married Miss Gertrude Da enport, of near Goshen, who was on-; of the well known school teachers of that place. Soon after their marriage they came to California, where they invested in a 5-acre orange ranch. Just now tin future looks pretty bright to Mr. and Mrs. Miller, but all that will be ex plained in the story. We Indiana folks don’t know very much about the oil business, as we don’t live near any real oil wells, so I can not write in the terms used by the people here, who work at the drilling. But even we know what a “wild cat” oil prospect is. A big company is formed and the necessary equipment paid for by the people who wish to invest in a chance game, such as a wildcat oil proposition is. The first cost of starting to drill a well is about $30,000. Near the Miller home such a well has been going in during the past summer, and It seemed that It would be a for the drillers were down 3,782 feet and there was no prospect of "paying sand,” but on last Oct. 15th, the drillers suddenly realized that there was a ’ pressure from the "hole in the ground," and they at once prepared to control the flow when it reached the top. I understand that sometimes these wells "come in” so suddenly and with so much force that it wrecks all the equipment, „But at any rate this well so far has been kept under control. The flow started with an output of about 2,700 barrels of pure petroleum per day, but it has increased and now the output each day is 4,100 barrels. I was told that usually a well’s output decreases, but this one Is different. The equipment they now have is only forian upward pressure of 125 pounds, but this morning the gauge showed 700 pounds. The pipes where the oil is flowing through are extremely hot. • ■ * I visited the well this morning, in company with a young fellow who is staying here in the Miller home, and who' was formerly working at this well. Visitors are not allowed, but my friend, Mr. Born camp, happened to see that none of the guards were present, so we went right to the well. There is danger that at any time the well might blow up, which would mean a great loss, as the oil- would then shoot up into the air and be wasted. Another reason why visitors are not allowed Is the great danger from fire. Just last week a gas well at Long Beach was burning. The flames shot up into the air 70 feet, • ■# IT IS EASILY EXPLAINED why so many women "prefer our “Gerbelle” Flow

and the roar of the burning gas could be heard two miles away. Mr. Bell owns the land on which this well is located. A few months ago Mr. Bell was in debt $42,000 on his 130 acre ranch. Since his first well came in he has been offered $11,000,000, and wisely refused, as his one-sixth share of the output amounts to over SISOO, per day,- and the oil company js. putting down other wells on his farm. But Mr. Bell* is not the only man who benefits from the 611 boom. The Union Oil Company gets the other five-sixths of the profits, and naturally all these people who own land near the well will benefit, even though no oil ,1s found on their farm. On Nov. 12, 6nly that one well was in sight, but since that time 34 derricks have gone up and some have already drilled several thousand- feet. These different wells are put in by the big oil companies. The land is leased by them from the owners for cash and onesixth royalty if oil is found. If not, the owner has the cash for the lease anyway. Miller's have refused to sell for $3,000 per acre, and have leased their land for $6,000 cash and SIOO per

It seems hard to realize that today is December 30, as the sun is shining so warm, and since the rains the air seems like spring. The snow capped mountains are dazzling this morning.
