but were halted when Dewey Small

night and the officers who
were *?|ui? k)y summoned placed the

Dewey Small and John I'. Harton

fact that a neighbor waH Hick and
they saw the men enter Shaver's

and they warned them not,to attempt
to break out. Disregarding the warnlag
the young men crashed through

him and Montgomery stopped after
tills shot was fired.
In the pockets of the* young men
were found a small quantity of merchandise
but the bulk of tiie loot was

WHAT'LL you HAVE?
Our government in going to get on j
Its feet thru the whiskey tax, and |
naturally the repeal of prohibition
tukea the bootleggers (perhaps;? oil
of the government's feet. An way all
of iim expect to hco more money puss
into the hands of the ape ml em to he
apent without stint.
..Naturally all of uh must drink lota
and lots of this government licker if
we would have better sehols, better
roads, better Jails and better poorhouses.
It wouldn't be right for
Uncle Sam to permit the manufacture
and sale of booze and then Ignore
him and It.
..If the head ol the family will get
drunk not less than twice u week
and thus force his children to go
partly naked and tjiostly hungry, he
will afford tuition and coal for u
pupil In high school for nearly 11 minutes
every day for 2 duys. If he
should get drunk (j times a week
and run his wife away from home,
multiply his usefulness by 2.
..Ilui tnebhe folks won't drink any
more whiskey than they have been
drinking. If that's the case, the new
innovation will help a great deal.
First, the government will get the
tax; Second, better stuff will possibly
be uvullable, and Third?It will lie
easier to check up on church members
who must go into a whiskey
store and come out the same door.
..The repeal of prohibition will cause
thousands upon thousands of stills,
woiyns, beer vats, potash and lye
troughs, and other moonshine equipment
to be junked, that is?If the
new laws are enforced. Many storey
will continue to sell bayrum and shoe
polish and canned heat at bargain
prices; therefore, if a man has <?nly j
25 cents tu get drunk on, he will

Fireatone performance recorda ugain
emphaaize the undiaputed evidence that
Fireatone Tirea are not only blowout-proof,
hut give greateat protection againat
akidding. There are three queationa and
anawera that will aolve the problem of
whut tirea to buy:
QUESTION 1?"Will the tread give me the
greatest traction and protection against
skidding?"
ANSWER?Recent tests by a leading University
show that Firestone High Speed Non-Skid
Tires stop a car 1 5% quicker than any other
of the leading makes. For eight consecutive
years Firestone Tires have been on the
winning car in the dangerous Pike's Peak
Race where a skid means death. This is
undisputed evidence that Firestone gives
car owners greatest protection against
skidding.
Question they blowout-proofs
ANSWER?Firestone Gum-DlpDed Tires huy,
the moit amazing record* lor being blowout,
proof of ony tire* ever built. In the gruelling
500-Mile Race at Indianapolis, May 3oJf
every one of the 33 car* wot equipped witd
Firestone Gum-Dipped Tire*. Kelly
won the race and broke the record over tW
26-year-old rough brick track without tire
trouble ? In fact, not one of the 33 driven
had tire trouble of any kind.
Ab Jenkins drove his 5#000 pound car on
Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires over the hot
salt beds of Utah, 3,000 miles in 23Mt hovn
at an average speed of 127.2 miles pel
hour, with temperatures as high as 120?
without tire trouble of anv kind. These art
most amazing proofs of blowout protection
ever known. > J
QUESTION 3?"Without sacrificing these
two important safety features will they
give me longer mileage^ thus mekinf
them the most economical tires I can
buy7" J
ANSWER?Firestone High Soe
ed Tires not only I
give you more than 50% longer wear, but
also lowest cost per mile. This is ma<j?
possible by the tough, wear-resisting tread
built with higher shoulders and a wider,
flatter contour.This thick,rugged,scientifically
designed tread is held securely to the GumDipped
cord body by Firestone's patented
construction of two extra layers of cords
under the tread. This is a special construction
feature not used in any other tire. Un$quaied
mileage records by thousands of car ownen
add undisputed evidence of the longer wear
and greater economy of Firestone High
Speed Tires,
1 University tests
FirestoneTires stop cau/W^
1 5 to 25% quicker.

protection. Gum-Dippingy/.C',
