THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Three Big Savings 
Which Men Get 
In No-Rim-Cut Tires Alone 
Here are three features—costly features 
— found in no other tire. Features that 
save motorists millions of dollars. 
You get all these things at no added price 
in No-Rim-Cut Tires. That’s why they 
outsell any other tire made. 
Saving No. 1 
These tires make rim-cutting 
impossible. They do it by a feature 
which we control, and which can’t 
be successfully imitated. 
With old-type tires — with 
clincher tires—rim-cutting ruins 
almost one tire in three. That is 
proved by careful statistics. 
Saving No. 2 
We add to our tire cost $1,500 
per day to give the “On-Air-Cure” 
to No-Rim-Cut tires. We final- 
cure them on air bags shaped like 
inner tubes — under actual road 
conditions. 
We do this to save the blow¬ 
outs caused by wrinkled fabric. 
No other maker does this, be¬ 
cause it costs too much. 
Saving No. 3 
We use a costly patent method 
to prevent tread separation. Loose 
treads have cost motorists millions 
of dollars. 
We have exclusive use of this 
vital protection, and no other 
maker employs it. 
No Extra Price 
Because of these extras, No- 
Rim-Cut tires used to costone-fifth 
more than other standard tires. 
Yet they saved so much that 
hundreds of thousands paid the 
price to get them. They became 
the world’s favorite tires. 
Now our mammoth output has 
brought the cost down. Today 
you can buy them just as low as 
any standard tire. 
Tires with these features cost 
no more than tires which lack 
them. Why not get these savings? 
Our dealers are everywhere.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK. 
DOMESTIC.—A score of men were 
burned, six seriously, by explosions that 
shattered the walls of the Clover Leaf 
Milling Company’s plant at Buffalo, N. 
Y., September 13. Fire followed, and 
the elevator, flour mill and storehouse 
were destroyed, causing a loss of $200,000. 
A death from bubonic plague occurred 
recently at Martinez, Cal. The Federal 
Government had decided to appropriate 
$40,000 additional to fight the disease 
through the extermination of rats and 
ground squirrels. The health authorities 
declare that there is no epidemic of the 
plague. The case here was purely spo¬ 
radic, they say. 
A $500,000 fire destroyed, September 
15, the large department store of the 
Howard R. Ware Corporation, the sta¬ 
bles of the James Butler Grocery Com¬ 
pany and a large part of the Coutant 
pharmacy, at New Rochelle, N. Y. 
George Bernier, 13 years old, who was 
holding a guy rope to a balloon while it 
was being inflated before an ascension at 
the fair at Woodstock, Conn., Septem¬ 
ber 10, was suddenly carried 500 feet 
in the air and then dropped to instant 
death in front of the grandstand, where 
five thousand persons were assembled. 
In order to secure a better hold on the 
guy rope in the inflation of the balloon, 
the boy wound the rope about his wrist 
several times. When the balloonist, Har¬ 
old Gates, of Newburyport, Mass., start¬ 
ed his ascension the boy did not have 
time to unwind the rope, and he was car¬ 
ried swiftly upward, dangling by one 
hand. 
Minors who desire to marry while their 
parents are away cannot obtain parental 
consent over the long distance telephone 
and expect authorities issuing marriage 
licenses to recognize such acquiescence 
as legal in New York State. Neither 
may city clerks date back marriage li¬ 
censes. Attorney-General Carmody has 
so informed an inquiring city clerk from 
a municipality in the western part of the 
State. After pointing out that the Do¬ 
mestic Relations law specifically pro¬ 
vides that “the written consent to the 
marriage from the parents of the minor 
or minors shall he given,” the Attorney- 
General says: “The whole spirit as well 
as the letter of the law will be violated 
by communicating with the parents on 
the telephone and procuring authority to 
sign the license. The practice is cer¬ 
tainly illegal. Nor do I find anything 
in tlie statute which will permit the clerk 
to date back the license.” 
A rapid fire exchange of pistol shots 
between two automobile loads of political 
“gorillas” at Broadway and 66th Street, 
New York City, September 16, made 
hundreds of promenaders fly for their 
lives and frightened scores of guests in 
the Hotel Marie Antoinette. It was just 
at the time when people were coming out 
of the matinees, but the poor shooting of 
tiie toughs prevented anyone from being 
hurt. The shooting resulted from a po¬ 
litical fight in the Fifteenth Assembly 
District. Four men were arrested after 
an exciting chase by the police. 
A collision with a whale caused such 
serious damage to the Danish steamer 
Wladmir Reitz that the vessel was forced 
to put in at St. Johns. N. F.. Seutemher 
17, for repairs. The accident occurred 
about 250 miles east of St. Johns. The 
crew of the steamer saw the whale ai)- 
proacliing at terrific speed, but could not 
alter the ship’s course in time to prevent 
the impact. The whale struck the 
steamer head-on, knocking a four-foot 
hole in the bow. 
The express companies of the country 
have united in an application to the In¬ 
terstate Commerce Commission for an 
extension of the date on which the com¬ 
mission’s order reducing express rates is 
to take effect. The commission’s order 
is effective October 15. 
FARM AND GARDEN—The eighth 
National Dairy Show, which will be held 
at Chicago October 23-November 1. has 
a long list of premiums, and an unusu¬ 
ally fine exhibit is promised this year. 
Under the auspices of the New York 
Milk Committee, a conference of renre- 
sentatives of farmers, milk dealers, and 
consumers was held iu the assembly hall 
of the United Charities Building on Sep¬ 
tember 22. Those present at the confer¬ 
ence discussed the proposal to establish 
in this city an organization similar to 
the former New York Milk Exchange to 
fix the market price of milk from month 
to month. Hitherto the work of the New 
York Milk Committee, which was found¬ 
ed in 1906 by the Association for Im¬ 
proving the Condition of the Poor, lmt 
became an independent body, has been 
confined chiefly to the task of improving 
the standard of the 2.000,000 quarts of 
milk consumed in this city dailv. It is 
now proposed to standardize prices in a 
way satisfactory to farmers, dealers and 
consumers. More than 1.500 invitations 
have boon sent out for the conference. 
Stephen C. Williams, chairman of the 
eommitttee, explained that his organiza¬ 
tion hoped to organize an exchange to 
standardize prices but without violating 
the anti-trust law under which the former 
Milk Exchange in this city and the one 
in New Jersey were abolished. 
An aM>eal to the United States Attor¬ 
ney General to institute proceedings 
against the New York Central and Penn¬ 
sylvania Railroads on the ground of al¬ 
leged violation of the Sherman law is 
about to be made by the Chautauqua and 
Lake Erie Fruit Growers’ Association. 
September 27, 
The association charges that the two 
roads control the Nickel Plate system, to 
the oppressive restriction of trade. Fif¬ 
teen years ago the railroads shipped 
grapes from the Erie belt west and south 
for IS cents a hundred pounds, and load¬ 
ed the fruit. In addition they made big 
rebates to shippers. When the Inter¬ 
state Commerce Commission came into 
being rates shot up to 22 and to 30 cents 
a hundred. The commission then classi¬ 
fied grapes as second class freight, ren¬ 
dering them liable to the second class 
rate of 39 cents a hundred pounds. The 
railroads, however, granted, as a con¬ 
cession, a special commodity rate of 30 
cents for west and southbound shipments. 
The roads abruptly notified the shippers 
of the belt in June that the concession 
would cease immediately. The associa¬ 
tion appealed to the Interstate Commerce 
Commission, the secretary of which got 
into touch with the railroads concerned, 
which replied that they were within their 
rights in withdrawing the concession. 
The association has now appealed to the 
commission to have grapes classified as 
third class freight, which would make 
the freight rate 30 cents once more. This 
appeal is under consideration. Detailed 
charges of unjust discrimination against 
the New York growers, moreover, were 
made by the association. 
The first direct shipment of Argentine 
beef ever sent to this country arrived at 
New York September 13 in the cold stor¬ 
age compartments of the Lamport & Holt 
liner Vandyck. It consisted of 1.000 
quarters, equivalent to 10 carloads such 
as are ordinarily shipped by western 
packing houses. The Vandyck has ac¬ 
commodation for 3.000 tons of cold stor¬ 
age freight, but the beef cargo received 
on this date was only about 100 tons. 
The meat, which was fresh killed when 
put aboard the Vandyck on Auguts 21. is 
the choicest product of the River Plate 
Fresh Meat Company, of Buenos Ayres, 
and has been in cold storage only 23 
days during its journey of 6,000 miles. 
Although meat is on the free list of the 
new tariff bill, which has practically been 
passed, a duty of 1 1 /> cent a pound was 
imposed upon this importation. 
The following are the prices which we 
receive in our community; we live near 
a town of 40.000 population, 20 miles 
from Philadelphia. Fresh cows with 
calf by side are worth from $65 to $100 
each; that means ordinary milking cows 
weighing from 1,000 to 1.300 pounds. 
Common steers, $7 to $7.50 per cwt.; 
choice steers, $8 to $8.25. Butter, 
wholesale, 38 cents; retail from 40 to 45. 
Hand-picked apples as to variety and 
quality from 55 to 75 cents per five- 
eighths bushel basket; pears same price; 
potatoes, 85 to 95 cents per bushel whole¬ 
sale; retail, $1. Sweet corn, 95 cents to 
$1.30 per 100 ears wholesale. Tomatoes, 
25 to 45 cents per five-eighths basket; 
peppers same price. Cabbage, 30 to 45 
cents per five-eighths basket. Lima 
beans, 70 to 80 cents per five-eighths bas¬ 
ket; string beans, 60. No. 1 Timothy
