it provided only for a net reduction of V.- j i r c nt in the pre.-ent rate, to 1. Mi- f ffertive two years after the proposition was atTfl to. "This 5!i,iTf--rion." Mayor Ktll r .-aid, "was too f-mall to , considered." Prefer Commission. Mayor Ralph W. Gaylor of Mishawaka and Ralph Jernegan, city attorney of the same city, were of the opinion that the only method in which to effect a reasonable rate for the two cities on the gas rate proposition was to take the matter before the public commission and there fight it out.

This suggestion likewise met with approval by those in attendanceat the 'mass" meeting. Points Discrimination. ne stron'-- point brought out last night was the argument of H. Mattiu ws, representative of the Wilson Ilros. shirt factory, that whereas the Stud' baker corporation consuming l.'.'o." cubic feet of gas a month had a rate of A cents, the Wilson liros., consuminr "OO.UOf cubic feet had only a rate of 75 cents. This, said Mr. Matthews, looked like unfair discrimination. Councilman Sevor Thompson of the second ward declared last night that lie was of the same opinion as the mayor. He believed that inasmuch as tlie city had now started a war to secure better rates, it had far hitter carry its iirht to the public srice corporation direct than attempt any intermediary plan. He, ) however, along with Councilman Walters, assured the few present at the "mass" meeting, that tho council stood rady to appropriate the necessary funds with which to prosecute the fight necessary to secure bitter rates. From Mishawaka Councilman V. W. Kuss and J. II. Xettlcton upheld the sentiments voiced by the city executive that the neighboring city was ready to cooperate in any way rrer-e.-sary to help wage the light and share the expense of securing an en -'im-er.

'Union' and 'Balance' Make Stable Tires United States Tires, in more than name only, carry out the principle of 'union and balance which makes a great stable nation out of the forty-eight individual States of the Union. United States Tires have that complete 'union' between rubber and fabric which

absolutely prevents tread separation and disintegration under the tread. They have that complete

'balance' which gives equal wear in both the tread and

neither is weaker other.

Every part of each tire helps every oth er part to last longer and that is the 'union' and 'balance' which give the whole tire longer life which give the low-mileage cost for which United States Tires are famous.
