* The More You Use Your Car
The More You Need Good Tires
Your car^k usefulness is increasing every day.
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.
The out-and-out dependability that created so
tremendous a demand for United States Tires in
times of war is just as desirable today.
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.
United States 'Nobby', 'Chain', 4Usco',and 'Plain'
are the most popular fabric tires built. They have
all the strength and stamina our years of^xperience
taught us to put into tires.
"here Is also ~tft<F United States 'Royal Cord',

a sprlngless lorry going over cobbles.
The air was disturbed for some sec

CONSIGNED FLAG TO OBLIVION

"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.

Washington, Feb. 20. -A dramatic re

himself was twle** gHKM?d iu lb* ?*ourso
of t ht? battle. . f T**
Appearing to deny charges of the
needless sacrifice of IBfOi made by tlov
ernor Allen of Kansas, General Tvaub
described with greut p? i<t?* the work of
bj* troop*, from t*he misty September
morn lug wljcn they wont over the top
until they had driven the Germans back
marly six miles after six days and nights
of almost incessant fighting over the
raoHt strongly fortified Hectioo of the
Western frc^it.
Fresh from France, the general still
was suffering from tho effects of ga?,
his two experiences in the Argoqne be
iug his fifth In the war, and ho fre
quently had to Interrupt his recital to
drink water. 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

-tat ion of the Thirty-Jifth Division wore
hurried to the rear by impressing into
service every truck of every description
but because of the "devilsh fire" of the
(irrmnns they could be moved only nt
night. One main road served the whole
army corps and at one tiime it r ft--,
quired 48 hours to build a road around
a crater caused by a German shell nnd
days to bridge 1LJ ?
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.

Why Newspapers Coat More. .
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.
Those facts are mentioned because there
are still a few people living in the far
discarded past who cannot understand
