there are moderate-price cars.

Anybody who tells you that
owners of moderate-price
cars are not interested in the
quality of their tires has
never met very many of
them.

We come in contact with
the small car owner every
day and we have found that
he is just as much interested
as the big car owner.
There is one tire, at least,
that makes no distinction
between small cars and large
cars so far as quality is con- •
cerned—the U. S. Tire.
Every U. S. Tire is just
like every other in quality
—the best its builders know
. bow to build.
, Whatever the size of your
* car, the service you get out
of U. S. Tires is the same.
It isn’t the car, but the man
who owns the car, that sets
the standard to which U. S.
tires are made.

about it That’s why we

At one Time while buliding the Panne
an canal there were eight thousand
men engaged in the Culebra cut alone.
Every night as much soil slid into the
cut as could be taken out during the
day. But there was not a sign of dis
couragement—the men enjoyed the
fight. Colonel Goethals walked
through the cut one morntag Just after
an extensive slide. The foreman had
been on the job since midnight.
“Well, how is everything this morn-
tag, Mr. Hogan?" asked Goethals.
“Fine, Colonel, fine. It buried that
steam shovel over there and tipped
over two batteries of drills and cov-
ered all the tracks through the cut
but one, but everything’s fine, sir.
We’re diggin‘."—H. H. Moore in The
Youth of a Nation.
When He Died, He Died All Over.
“Doggone!” said Jesse Eschbach,
chief examiner for the state hoard of
accounts, as be read one of the letters
to his mail. “Here is one.”
The letter told of a man who had
paid his dog tax to the township as
sessor and the ungrateful cur had gone
and died. The dog died before the as-
sessor had turned in his books to the
county assessor and the inquirer
wished to know whether there was any
way to get back the dog tax.
“The cruel tow,” Mr. Eschbach will
reply, “states that taxes are paid on
property owned March 1.”

Until 1882 congress did not make
any law restricting foreign immigra-

was done to encourage immigration
without regard to its character or qual-

Litue Wonder That Comedian Could
Not Look on Buns With Any
Degree of Affection.
“I never eat buns," the comedian
said sadly, “they remind me of a hor-
rible experience I had once.”
The listener* drew near, thrilled by'
the tenseness of his tones.
“I was on a ship in midocean,” went
on the comedian dramatically. “Her
cargo was self-raising flour and cur-
rants, and a touring theatrical party.
Suddenly, in the dead of night, we ran
into an iceberg.
"There were no boats, so things look-
ed very desperete for us. The huge
waves dashed over the sides and down
the hatchways. .
“Then we heard a curious noise. The
water had got to the self-raising flour

large blobs, like buns, with the curr

KNOW LITTLE ABOUT. EARTH

Dwellers on This Globe Have Shown
No Curiosity Concerning Possible
Wonders of Its Interior.

The earth’s crust is compared to
the skin of an apple by the writer of
a leading article to the Scientific
American Monthly. Our knowledge of
the globe on which we live, he says,
is not even skin deep; for an apple
as large as the earth would have a
skin twenty miles thick; and no one
has been much more than a mile in-
to the crust, or has bored into it with
tools more than a mile and a half. It
is rather humiliating to think that
we know more about the sun, ninety
millions of miles away, than we do
of the solid earth under our feet We
think nothing of dispatching exploring
expeditions to unknown regions thou-
sands of miles away; how about a
little expedition to points only a few
miles distant—vertically downward!
Such explorations have been proposed,
although the boldest Explorer has not
dared to suggest going further than
twelve miles—a trip that would take
him on the surface of the earth only
from one end of Manhattan Island
to the other.
