I  received  the  tire  from  the  National

wish  to  submit  my  sincere  thanks  for

We  published  S.  Iv.’s  complaint  in  the 
issue  of  The  R.  N.-Y.  of  August  5th  rel¬ 
ative  to  the  non-receipt  of  the  tire  or¬ 
dered.  We  are  now  glad  to  give  the  Na¬ 
tional  Rubber  Co.  credit  for  eventually 
filling  the  order.  Our  records  show  the 
order  Avas  sent  on  July  13th,  and  the  sub¬ 
scriber  aeknoAvledges  receipt  of  the  tire  on 
August  10th.  The  National  Rubber  Co. 
claim  shipment  was  made  on  August  3rd, 
or  20  days  after  the  order  Avas  received. 
While  this  is  not  prompt  service,  it  es¬

In  1914  my  husband  went  to  see  the 
Goa'.  Sawyer  mansion,  and  made  a  bar¬ 
gain  with  Chapin  Farm  Agency,  Boston, 
Mass.  He  took  along  $100  to  bind  the 
bargain  with  if  he  liked  the  place.  Then 
Chapin  got  him  to  sign  a  note  before 
he  left  there  to  pay  down  $400  more 
within  five  days.  Well.  Ave  didn’t  have 
the  money  and  borrowed  it.  We  were 
going  to  sell  our  place,  thought  Ave  could, 
but  the  man  that  wanted  our  place  died; 
then  we  didn’t  sell.  Cliapin  kept  Avrit- 
ing  to  know  when  we  were  going  to  take 
the  place.  We  had  to  pay  down  $1,500 
to  get  the  deed.  We  couldn’t  tell  him 
anything  when  he  would  get  the  rest  of 
the  money  from  us  and  the  man  that 
wanted  to  sell  the  place  came  to  see  us 
and  we  wrote  a  paper  and  signed  it  that 
Chapin  could  sell  it,  as  we  couldn’t  get 
the  money.  This  man  that  owned  the 
place  claimed  Chapin  never  paid  him  one 
cent  of  the  money,  and  if  Ave  had  paid  it 
to  him,  he  would  refund  the  money.  We 
wrote  to  Chapin,  asked  him  for  the 
money,  and  he  wouldn’t  say  anything 
about  paying  it  back.  We  Avrote  to  the 
owner  of  the  place,  sent  a  stamp  for  him 
to  reply  what  Chapin  said  to  him,  and 
he  never  wrote.  My  husband  was  out  of 
work  for  oA-er  four  months  during  that 
Winter.  We  Avant  to  get  the  money 
back,  or  part  of  it  anyway,  and  get  a 
farm.  We  have  never  been  able  to  save 
a  cent  of  money  from  that  day  to  this,

Prolapse  of  the  oviduct  causes  that  or¬
