ELLIOTT AND LOWDEN " BACK EARLHAM DRIVE; LATTER SENDS $100 Many letters have been received at the Earlham college campaign headquarters from prominent men endorslng the purpose ol the drive. Following is a portion of a letter received from Richard N. Elliott, of Connersvllle. Sixth District Representative: "OnQ of the best tests of the enterprise and the intellectual and social standing of the people of a community Is to be found in the character of the educational and religious institutions vhich that community maintains. The city of Richmond and Wayne County, Indiana, is one of the very best communities in the United States, and the moral and intellectual standing of the community is due in a large measure to the character of its educational and religious institutions. "I think that Earlham college during its 70 years-of service has earned the right to become a greater institution than it has ever been. It would seem that 1500,000 spent by the citizens of the community In behalf of this great pchool will be a good investment for the people of Wayne county for their posterity." Lowden Sends $100 Check. A contribution of $100 was received from Governor Lowden, of Illinois, by President Edwards, to be applied toward the raising of $500,000. Gov. Lowden paid high tribute to Earlham college and the educational institutions conducted by the Friends when he spoke in this city in the Spring. At that time he emphasized the value of the smaller colleges as compared with the big universities, pointing to the fact that almost all men in public life and conspicuous in "various departments and prpfesslons who had college education had received tha latter at the smaller colleges.

G. McComb, vocational director, at his office in the senior high school building. McComb returned Monday after a
stay of six weeks at Terre name, where he engaged in vocational teacher training work for the state, While there he obtained full information on the rehabilitation plans of the state government. "The national law was passed In June," said McComb, "and it was left to the individual states to take advantage of It. The government would appropriate a sum of money proportioned as to population of state, providing the state appropriated a like amount." "The Indiana quota," continued McComb, "was $22,000. The state legislature appropriated a like amount. We have no machinery to take care of those injured in vocational work and who wish to learn trade's deepita handicap. Therefore, persons in Itlchthe government offer are to visit my thte government offer are to visit my office as soon as possible." McComb explained that the rehabilitation law applied to those born doformed. Wheat Here Follows Down Prices in Large Centers; Paying $2.40 For No. 2 Richmond millers marked wheat down to $2.40 for No. 2 on Wednesday as against $2.50 early Tuesday morning and $2.45 during the afternoon. Central markets have ruled weak again today, the closing at Chicago being three-fourths of a cent lower than on Tuesday on December wheat. The sudden drop on wheat and the scarcity of cars to move the crop has set the entire trade guessing. Many think the break has been too sudden and severe to hold and that a reaction is due. Wheat .is now 40 cents lower than Its opening price at Chicago on July 15, and corn has been breaking for 30 days, almost continuously. Oats has suffered with corn and has broken as badly as wluat. in fact a little worse, relatively, since last Friday night. Reports from Boston. Fountain City, Kitchel, etc., gave $2.40 as the price on No. 2 wheat on Wednesday afternoon. Some elevators are paying a fraction more, some in Preble county going five cents higher. Kitchel and Boston had a car In today; Fountain City reporting the bins full and nothing to load in. This is the case at several points right now.

TEN years ago you might have seen one or two automobiles waiting outside the station, when the weather was pleasant. Today the square is crowded with them. And most of the cars you generally see there are moderate-price cars.
Anybody who tells you that owners of moderate-price cars are not interested in the quality of their tires has never met very many of them. We come in contact with the small car owner every day and we have found that he is just as much interested as the big car owner.
There is one tire, at least, that makes no distinction between small cars and large cars so far as quality is concerned the U. S. Tire. Every U. S. Tire is Just like every other in quality the best its builders know how to build. Whatever the size of your car, the service you get out of U. S. Tires is the same. It isnt the car, but the man who owns the car, that sets the standard to which U. S. tires are made. IV We feel the same way about it. That's why we represent U. S. Tires in this community.
