A standard ruler was employed. We swore It was right Hut the general accounting office, audit division, would allow ouly $3.si.

THE TRUTH OF IT If you spend your money and throw it nway on useless pleasure that can do you nor others any good if lias to come either out of what you have saved or out of what you have burro wed. In either case you are getting poorer and poorer the longer you keep up that sort of play. It is about the same with a nation of people When the people decide that they ai'e allowed to collect motley and substance from their own government. they run over themselves to see who can get the most of it. One great difference of course is that the government Is spending the money of the people themselves because it is raised by taxation Imposed upon them, and although they do not know it\thoy aro piling up big debts that they flually have to pay themselves.?Horry Herald of May 25. DELINQUENT TAXES Governor Maybank. in a speech at Hock Hill, again called attention to twelve million dollars in delinquent taxes due South Carolina. That is a pile of money which, had it been collected and properly used, might have prevented to a largo extent the deplorable financial condition of the state The governor expressed the hope that the legislature would draft a deflnitc pkm for the collection of these unpaid taxes and he urged thai m future tax inflections bo kept up lam The majority of property owners in South Carolina pay their t.t\e> Tim ta * that twelve million dollars In tax money lias not been paid shows hat great injus'ice h.isi i |?>iie !ho>e who pay?Spartanbui g Herald >f May 27.

Hvy * fiiii I o f|V>Bj y | WILBUR SHAW, thm 1939 mrinnmr * On May 30th, Wilbur Shaw drove to \ his second victory in the 500-tnile Indianapolis Race on Firestone Champion Tires at an average speed of i 15.03 miles an hour. Champion race divers, whose very lives ana chances of victory depend on tire safety, know tire construction. That is why they select and buy Firestone Tires foF their racing cars. CITY FILLING STATION MARIONS SERVICE STATION A merciless sun beat down upon the speedway as Wilbur I Shaw drove to victory on Firestone Champion Tires. The I blistering brick of the main stretch and the granite-Kard surface I of the turns and the back stretch put tire safety to the test I i supreme! Record after record was shattered. Speeds reached as I high as 160 miles an hour on the straightaways, as 33 of the H fastest drivers in the world waged a breath-taking battle I for gold and glory. Never before in all the history of the motor car have tires I been put to such a torturous test. And never before has any I tire so firmly established itself as a Champion in construction I and performance, as well as in name. Here is dramatic proof I of the extra strength which the revolutionary new Safety-Lock I cord body provides in Firestone Champion Tires-?of the extra I protection against blowouts assured by the new and advanced I Firestone patented Gum-Dipping process ? of the extra I mileage resulting from the tougher, wear-resisting rubber I compounds in the sensational new Gear-Grip tread. I No longer can there be any question of which tire is safest. I One tire?and only one?provides these exclusive safety construction features. One tire?and only one?has been on| the winning cars at Indianapolis for 20 consecutive years. 1 Motor car manufacturers enthusiastically adopted the Firestone I Champion Tire for their 1939 models. Order your fteiv car I equipped with this amazing tire. Or drive m and let us equip I your present car with a set of new Firestone Champion Tires, I the one tire ? and only one that is safety-proved on ik* I speedway for your protection on the highway- !
