It is becoming more and more of a real necessity to you ? both in your business and home life. For that very reason you need good tires, now, more than ever.

It reduces tire troubles to the vanishing point ? multiplying the usefulness of your car and putting the cost of operation on a real thrift basis.

MB CHOPPED UP BY SHELL *vt?tor Describe* Effect of HMV) Mieelle Which 'Paasad Some Hun dreds of Yard* From Airplane. , A British uvlutor who bad boen ty ing In Franco nine* the beginning of thu war told the story of meeting a ahell from a German 17-Inch gun while he waa In the sir, aaya Popular Me rhanlcM Magaslne. "I waH at au altitude of about (J.OOC feet one day and climbing higher at an easy angle, when one of those biff fellows, alinoht at the end of It* font*' (light, came plowing along In the op posite direction," be nays. "First a dark little blur appeared ahead at an angle of about 80 degrees above roe. At first It seemed to be coming right at me and I swerved to the left lo an Instinctive effort to dodge the threatened blow. Then a sort of dron ing bum became audible and tbat sound Increased daring the two or three seconds that adapted before the big missile carae up to roe and awept past.

The air was disturbed for some sec onds after a loud roar astern had told me that the shell bad come to earth." CONSIGNED FLAG TO OBLIVION Youngsters First Burned German Em blem arid Then Solemnly Burlad the Aehee In th# Earth. 'f "Tho war is making a wonderful Im pression on the mind of American childhood," remarked Dh. E&gsr De Wltt .lont'H, a Bloomlngton (111.) pas tor, discussing current topics with some friends the other day. Doctor Jones relates a little story about his young son, age ten, to Illus trate. Tn 1910 the pastor made a tour of Europe and brought home with him a flag of every nation visited. Occa sionally they would be brought forth to exhibit to visitors, but for the last two years had beep kept undisturbed In a box In the doetor's-study. One day two months ago the little son very earnestly said to hk; father: "Papa, haven't you a German flag?" The pastor replied that ho thought there was one In his collection, at' tin1 same time explaining to the lad that the Teutonic banner was not popular these days and was not to be exhib ited. A fe\y days later the little son was more insistent. "Papa," he said, '1 want that German flag; please get it Out for roe," I.. *. "I got the boy the flag," said Doctor Jones, "and through the window of my study watched what followed. First th<j boy called his sister^ Dorothy. The children took the flag Into the yard and with much ceremony burned It. When it had been reduced .to ashes the children carefully gathered them and put them In u cigar box. Then they dug a little grave and burled the nshes. There is a little mound In tho yard to show where the ashes of the kaiser's colors are resting. I have never mentioned the incident to the children and they do not know that I watched them." ? Indianapolis News. Popular Prince. The bearing of the Prince of Wales all through the war has won him the udmiratlon, respect and affection of the British peoples, here and overseas. Wo need not enlarge upon this, for every one knows that to say so is no courtly form of words. The prince will go to the overseas countries of the empire when the time comes with the unique advantage of having seen with his own eyes the shining qualities ? revealed during the ultimate test of character ? of the races that make up the empire. He will go, too, for his own instruction and enllghtehment, as the king said 'frankly of himself last year when he foreshadowed his visit. - ? London Times. Used Liquor as Bait. The burgomaster of Arnsberg, West phalia, Germany, having failed In all endeavors to Induce the farmers of the neighborhood to bring in supplies, placed this advertisement In the local -newspaper -"Tli i?> municipality will buy art* agricultural products for cash at government prices. Kvery person who delivers 100 pounds of bread grain or .'100 pounds of potatoes will receive a ticket entitling him to buy a bottle of brandy or ruin at reduced prices from the municipal cellars.',' Within twenty four hours the cellars were empty and the residents of Arnsberg enjoyed the first square meal they had had for weeks.

At times hw voice failed him almost entirely but suggestion# of members of the committee that he delay his testimony were met with instunt re fusal. When his voice refused to give emphasis. to his words he pounded the table beside him to further drive home his praise of (.tho soldiers it wax his "honor to command." "For six days and night*," said the general, "we fought the best the boohe had. We penetrated the lines for five and a half miles, took 1,000 prisoners and captnred tM pieee* o# field artillery and 45 machine guns. We fought in tl\f* open and lost 500 killed and 4,500 wounded, the great majority of the lat ter being hurt but slightly. Never was there a finer body of men than those I had the honor to conmiaud. They wore a wonderful lot, who only asked to know what was wanted nnd they did it and did it well." (General Traub told the committee that the first task of his men after "Jumping off" was the capture of a hill which had everything in the way of defense which the Germans could ? build,- and that "the French had been up against for four years.'" The Thirty fifth. the general 'Maid, too this strong ly fortified position in three hours after vicious hand to hand fighting.

Airplanes appeared on call and flew over the Gorman lino, the general said. A shortage of horses was admitted but the officer declared there was always artillery support. Only a half dozen shells from the American artillery fell in its lines, but iu this connection the general asked to be permitted to refrain from comment on French artillery with the division. W. A.

Few people realise the. cost, of produc ing a first-class country newspaper these days. In old days it was -4be general supi?osition that any fool with a hand preHs nnd a few pounds of type could run h newspaper. Wut those daya .have passed. The county-seat new>rf>aper of toddy represents an investment of thoXL-, sands of dollars in expensive material, such as up-to-date presses and type-set ting machines, which require skilled la bor to operate thein. in the old days the average printer received about the same low pay as a plow-hand on the farm, and the editor was supposed to live on potatoes, collards, an d other things of that sort swapped him for the paper. Keen business men are today at the head of well conducted country news papers, sud the costly machinery in his plant is managed by printers who drhw all the way from $7J? to .$150 a month.
