What Is It Worth to Change a Tire? iimiti #- On the road changing a tire is not an especially pleasant task. The dust or mud, the grease and grime, the tedious delay—all are things we like to avoid. But the time to think about these things is when you buy the tire—not after the blow-out occurs. For some tires blow out much more easily than others. Outward appearance counts for little. It is the material in the tire and the construction of it that determines its strength. Goodyear recognizes these facts and all Goodyear Tires are made of long staple cotton. Take the 30 x 3% Cross Rib Clincher Tire here illustrated, for example. It is made of Egyptian and Arizona cotton, the fibres of which average 1% inches long. Many 30 x 3J4 clincher tires are made of short staple cotton from % inch to IMi inches long. This means less strength and greater danger of blow-outs—more tire troubles. Yet this high grade guaranteed Goodyear Tire costs only $10.95. You can buy some tires for even less than this but none with the fine materials and construction of this one. Can you afford to take a chance on more frequent tire troubles for the sake of the slightly lower price of cheaper tires ?

NIRS. ABBEY PROUD OF HER BIG GAIN Weight Increased 39 Pounds and Nine Years' Trouble Ended. "I hardly see how I endured such awful suffering, and If it hadn’t been for Tanlac I don’t believe I would be : (here today,” said Mrs. Mollie Abbey, of Jennings Lodge, Ore. “For nine years everything I ate caused gas to form so that it almost drove me distracted. I didn't dare eat any fruit and for four years if I even drank a glass of cold water I would suffer dreadfully. No one who didn't see me can imagine the awful condition I was in. “But Tanlac changed all this and now I’m simply feeling fine. My appetite Is splendid. I eat anything I want, have actually gained thirty-nine pounds and have so much strength and energy I easily do all my housework. Tanlac is a wonderful medicine.” Tanlac Is sold by all good druggists. —Advertisement. Her Curiosity. The audience held its breath with amazement as the acrobat swung high above the rostrum, held only by a frail cord looped around one foot.

At last, embarrassed by the attention which the child was attracting, the mother jerked the child Into the seat, warning, “You just wait until I get i home!" “Oh!” exclaimed the little disturber, “then you’re gonna try It?”—Judge.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ’ Lesson’ (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D.. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1*22, Western Newspaper Union LESSON FOR AUGUST 20. SECOND RETURN FROM EXILE LESSON TEXT—Ezra 7:1-8:36. GOLDEN TEXT—The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him, fur good. —Ezra 8:22. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Ezra »:110:17. PRIMARY TOPlC—Ezra's Prayer for Help. JUNIOR TOPlC—Ezra's Prayer for Help on a Journey. INTERM EDI ATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Ezra: Teacher and leader. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Religions Teachers: A Need and an Opportunity. I. The Leader—Ezra (7 :l-10). 1. Who he was (vv. 145. (1) A priest (vv. 1-5). The leader of the first company was Zerubbabel, a sort of military governor. The great need ilow was for a religious leader, tor the jieople had gone far from God, as we see from the noble reforms which Ezra effected. (2) A ready scribe (v. 6). lie was a teacher of the law of God. 2. ills high ambition vv. 7-10). (1) “He set his heart to seek the law of the Lord” (v. 10). He definitely set out with the noble purpose to know God's Word. To be successful in anything one must sot out with a purpose. ' Daniel was a success because he ‘ purposed in his heart.” Ministers ami Sunday-school teachers should have this set purpose. (2) He set his Heart to obey the Lord (v. IO), lie was not only concerm-d with knowing God's Word, but to obey it. God's Word cannot fully be known by the intellect; it must la* experienced. The essential qualification for a teacher of the Bible, a preactuT or Sunday-school teacher. Is obedience to God's Wont (3) He set iris heart to teach Israel God's statutes and Judgments (v. 10). lie not only had a love for God’s Word, but a I desire to implant it in the hearts of i others. When one has an exi*eriential i knouhslge of God's Won I he longs to i teach it to others. 3. His commission (7:1120). The king Artaxerxes gave him a copy of I the decree authorizing hitn to lead a । company back to Jerusalem. He was empowerol (1) to collect funds (vv. • 15. 10) ; (2) to levy tribute (vv. 21. 22) ; (3) to apioint magistrates mid judges (r. 25) ; (4) to execute penalties (v. 20). So great was the king s confidence In Ezra that lie gave all these |M»wers into his hand. For this greyt honor Ezra lifted his heart to God In thanksgiving. He was mainly concerned with the fact that lie was to beautify the lord's house and acknowledge that God had put this purpose into the king's heart. 11. The Company (S:l-20). Tiie company was small—only 1,754 males, but including women, children and servants, there were jierhaps O.UOO to 7.(K>U peoph> in this caravan. 111. Ezra’s Prayer and Fasting (8:21 23). The first thing he did was to seek God's guidance. Not only God's leaders. but all Christians should seek divine guidance ami help in every undertaking—every new Journey, every piece of new work, every business adventure, every relationship. That which we cannot invoke God's blessing upon should not be undertaken. Further, success can only be realized when Gisl s blessing is upon us. He did not minimize the dangers attending such a journey, but he hud told the king that the hand of the Lord would l>e upon all for good who sought him, ami now he was ashamed to ask the king for a military escort to protect them from the marauding Arabs. He desired to give the king a proof of the reality of God’s help. God's honor among the heathen was at stake. This was a real test of faith, but God was faithful. May every teacher and pupil in the "Sunday school find this to be true! IV. The Successful Journey (8:2432). God heard their prayer. The treasure entrusted to them was great. Perhaps the entire value of all the money, etc., was $5,000,000. For a weak caravan to go on a journey requiring four months through a country infested by these robber bands, carrying such au . amount of money was most perilous; ! but Ezra knew that God was able and , would protect them. Note: 1. The care and honesty (vv. 24-30). i The money was weighed unto them at ' the start and was to be weighed when turned over to the authorities at Jerusalem. The incentive to honesty | and strict accounting of the trust was that they were holy men and were entrusted with that which was holy because it belonged to God. Most exacting care should be exercised in handling the Lord’s money. We should guard sacredly our trust. 2. Their safe arrival (vv. 31, 32). Some four and one-haif months were i required to make the journey. God proved himself to be faithful, having | protected them and bi ought them ; safely to their destination. . The Sinner’s Bible. • The professed Christian is the only ' Bible the average sinner will read and । the question is, What sort of doctrine ; or precept is he learning from your life? That unconverted neighbor of : yours is reading a chapter from your thoughts every day for “as a man thinketh, so is he”; what is your neighbor’s conclusion as to your thoughts by what he sees of you practically? Moses Prayeth for the People. And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said. Oh. this people have sinned a great sin. and have made them guds of gold. Yet now, if thou forgive their sin—; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, put of thy book which thou Last written. And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will 1 blot uut ol my book. —Exodus 32 :31-33,

In these days of lawlessness, when the honest citizen cannot take a walk i around the block with any certainty that lie will not be held up by' a bandit, the novel idea of Antonio Mon- : aco, a citizen of Buenos Aires, ought ! to be of value. He suggests suspenders with pockets attached to them —two pockets, that is to say. each of them being fastened with a buckle to the loop of i the “gallus” at the fiont. The lower I end of each pocket has two button- ' holes, which button onto the ordinary ■ buttons of the waistband of the trousers, thus making the pocket flatly secure against the bo<ly of the wearer. To prevent escape of its contents, eacli pocket is provided with a buttoned flap. Few bandits would think of looking for loot beneath a man’s waistcoat, and so the suspemler pocket should afford excellent hiding places for money. Against pickpockets they i ought to furnish a perfect protection. —Milwaukee Sentinel. An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.

STORK MADE LONG JOURNEY H — Bird Flew From Africa to Germany i With a Message From Exile to I the Fatherland. The population of Llskau. Germany, noticed one day recently that one of the many storks which annually return to the neighborhood from distant southern zones to rebuild their nests was carrying something about its neck ■ which only human hands could have fastened there. Repeated efforts to approach the bird had failed, but one of the villagers finally lured the stork Into his barn and then and there learned that the bird carried a little leather case In which a note was inclosed. The note revealed that the stork had come all the way from East Africa, where a German colonist. Willi Bucha, has his little farm near Victoria lake. Bucha must have anticipated that i the bird spent his annual vacation in 1 his beloved fatherland, so he wrote: ' “Just a greeting to the fatherland.” and used the stork to convey his message. Polynesians Mysterious Race. The area occupied by the Polynesian race in the Pacific is not less than 2,(XM),(XX) square miles. But the land surface within this area is relatively ' small ami varies from New Zealand with its 100.000 square miles to little atolls barely large enough to resist the waves. The branches of the race ' are scattered from Hawaii in the north to New Zealand in the south.

Murphy-Ward Dairy Company 2016 Calumet Ave., Chicago, UL AS BOBBY HAD IT FIGURED Quite Satisfied That Auntie’s Appearance Must Have Undergone Considerable Change. I am rather proud of my looks and always take pains to appear my best for company. One morning I was just finishing the sweeping when my brother and his family, whom I had not seen for a couple of years, drove in the yard. With them were a couple of welldressed women, and I was naturally embarrassed to have them find me with hair disheveled and dust streaked face. However, I welcomed them graciously and we sat down te talk. I noticed that Bobby, my small nephew, was studying me intently, and during a lull in the conversation ^e said: “Auntie, you must have been good looking when you were young.” “Yes,” I beamed, with my pleasantest smile, scenting a compliment, “what makes you think so, dear?” “Because,” answered Bobby, “uncle would never marry you the way you look now.” —Chicago Tribune.
