Mohawk Tires 
Not Deteriorate 
Do 
Sometimes a tire will give a fair 
mileage if it is used up quickly, but 
deteriorates rapidly when the car is 
standing idle. 
This may have been your experience. 
And you are not the only one to feel 
the loss—rubber deterioration is cost¬ 
ing car owners millions annually. 
This is particularly true of cars 
owned on farms where, of necessity, 
they stand idle for long periods at a 
time. 
One thing to remember about 
Mohawk Tires is —they do not 
deteriorate. 
Pure rubber, and a generous quantity 
of it, only is used to make them. 
No “fillers,” no shoddy, no rosin, 
no glue, no whiting—nothing that can 
deteriorate ever gets into them. 
For that reason, you will find Mo¬ 
hawk Tires strong, tough and wear 
resisting season after season until they 
are entirely worn out. 
Add to this advantage an extra ply 
of fabric in most sizes—hand - building 
by expert, veteran tire builders—and 
you will understand why Mohawks do 
give better mileage and why they do 
not rot when standing idle or lose their 
life when baked by the sun. 
If you are like eighty-five out of a 
hundred motorists who use Mohawks, 
you will buy no other make of tire. 
Plain or ribbed, cord or fabric tires end 
an extra ply, hand made. Ford size, too

DOMESTIC.—Artillery Hall, a build¬ 
ing of the Princeton unit of the Field 
Artillery Reserve Officers’Training Corps, 
located on the campus of Princeton Uni¬ 
versity, caught fire Oct. 23 from an over¬ 
heated stove and burned to the ground 
in about 10 minutes. There were 3,000 
rounds of 42-calibre ammunition in the 
building, all of which exploded. The loss 
was about $50,000. All the personal ef¬ 
fects of 39 enlisted service men who 
occupied the building were destroyed, and 
one of the men lost a $1,000 Liberty 
bond. The Government suffered consid¬ 
erable loss of range-finding instruments, 
telescopes and other stores. 
William O. .Tenkius, American Consu¬ 
lar agent at Pueblo, Mexico, was kid¬ 
napped by three masked bandits recently 
at Pueblo and is being held for $150,000 
ransom, the State Department was ad¬ 
vised Get. 22. The American embassy 
on inquiry has been informed by the 
Mexican Foreign Office that the Govern¬ 
ment would take all possible steps to

It was officially announced at San 
Diego. Cal . Oct. 26 that Limits. Cecil H. 
Connolly of San Diego and Frederick B. 
Waterhouse of Weiser. Idaho, army avia¬ 
tors missing since August 21. were slain 
in Lower California by two Mexican fish¬ 
ermen. The announcement was made 
upon tlie arrival there of the destroyer 
Aaron Ward bringing the bodies of the 
two aviators from Bahia Los Angeles, on 
the Gulf of Lower California, to which 
point they had flown after losing their 
way in a border patrol flight from Yuma, 
Ariz., to San Diego. The slayers were 
from a Mexican sloop. Their identity is 
known to the United States and Mexican 
Governments and steps are being taken to 
capture them. 
Louis Leavitt, a manufacturer of white 
lead. 454 Driggs Avenue. Brooklyn, was 
arrested at his office Oct. 27 charged with 
hoarding upwards of 1,300.000 pounds of 
army bacon in Brooklyn warehouses. He 
was arraigned before United States Com¬ 
missioner MeGoldrick in Brooklyn and 
placed under $5,000 bail for examination. 
United States Marshal Power, acting un¬ 
der authority of an order of libel, took 
possession of the bacon. 13,31 8 cases in 
all. 
Michael X. Mosckus of Chicago, con- 
| victed of blasphemy, as a result of lec¬ 
tures which he delivered at Rumford, Me., 
; recently, was sentenced to serve from one 
to two years in State prison by the 
Supreme Court Oet. 27. The case will 
go to the law court on exceptions. Mean¬ 
time Mosckus was admitted to $1,500

a leg in an accident when he was a hoy, 
admitted in police court Oct. 27 that in 
I the guise of a maimed veteran of the 
A. E. F. he collected $275 in a few days.

The Crosby Steamship liner City of Mus¬ 
kegon. after riding out a terrific lake storm, 
was dashed to pieces Oet. 28 on the 
stone pier at the entrance to Muskegon 
Harbor. Mich. Known loss of life is 14, 
but is expected to be much higher. The 
steamship, a side wheeler, bound from 
Milwaukee, after riding out a night of 
gale, made for the harbor in the early 
morning darkness. The wheel paddles 
jammed in the sand, checking headway, 
and the great combers threw the ship 
about and hurled her on to tin 1 pier. 
There she hung momentarily, pounding 
into wreckage, and then slipped off into 
the dt' 0 ! 1 channel, going down in •><! foot 
of water. Fifty <>f the 72 passengers and 
crew, guided to safety by a single flash¬ 
light in the hands of a coast guard, were 
known to have been saved from the ves¬ 
sel. It was feared several were caught 
between decks. Survivors, most of whom 
escaped only in their night clothing, were 
being cared for by the Rod Cross. 
Gust Alonon and Carl Paivio, the two 
Finnish agitators convicted of criminal 
anarchy at an extraordinary trial term of 
the Supreme Court before Justice Bartow 
S. Weeks, were sentenced Oet. 28 to not 
less than four and not more than ei-dit 
years in Sing Sing. Justice Weeks, after 
being furnished by the prisoners with 
information as to how they evaded the 
immigration authorities when they came 
to this country, announced that he would 
not impose the maximum penalty of ten 
years as he had intended doing, blit 
would modify the sentences because of 
the fact that their deportation at the 
expiration of their terms will he facili¬ 
tated through the data they had given 
him. 
'I'he Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com- 
nnny of Akron. Ohio, owner of the dirig¬ 
ible balloon which crashed in flames 
through the roof of a hank building in 
Chicago, July 21, causing death to 13 
persons, was exonerated Oet. 28 from all 
blame by a jury of technical experts and 
a coroner’s jury which investigated the 
disaster. The jury recommended that 
November 8, 1919 
flying over cities he prohibited. It was 
unable to determine the exact cause of 
the accident because of the conflicting 
testimony and the lack of material evi¬ 
dence owing to the suddenness of the dis¬ 
aster and the complete destruction of the 
dirigible. The action of the Goodyear 
company in adjusting civil liability was 
commended. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—The “Red 
Zone.” that stretch of desolation and ruin 
extending from the Swiss border to the 
North Sea, will be transformed into a 
pasture for sheep if a project just drawn 
up and presented to the French Govern¬ 
ment is carried out. This long stretch, 
covered by dead soil in some places to a 
depth of almost eight yards, cannot, it 
is said, be brought again under cultiva¬ 
tion and production within a reasonable 
time. It has been estimated that from 
50 to 100 years will be required to re¬ 
store its productivity. The small pro¬ 
prietors who held the greater part of it, 
have decided to unite ns a company for 
the raising of sheep by clearing the devas¬ 
tated zone and preparing it. for grazing. 
Thousands of head of sheep can be 
grown in thois region and in a few years, 
it is expected. France will be rendered 
independent of American and Argentine- 
ian wool and meat products. 
No reduction in prices of British wool¬ 
ens is to be expected for at least two 
years, according to a report at the De¬ 
partment of Commerce Oet. 23. The 
woolen situation in England is more se¬ 
rious than it has been for years, says the 
report, and prices have advanced within 
the last month. 
, G. Morris Homans, California State 
Forester, states that recent fires had made 
the 1919 season the worst in 30 years. 
There are no figures on hand as to ac¬ 
tual damage to merchantable timber, but. 
a wide area has been covered and no sec-, 
tion seems to have been free from loss. 
Perhaps th. greatest loss will be to the 
food supply. The shortage of rainfall 
last W inter made a brief feeding season 
on the upper ranges and cattle and sheep 
have been coming down into the valleys 
much earlier than usual. Many thou¬ 
sands of acres of stubble and other range 
have been destroyed, which means heavy 
losses to live stock owners and a reduc¬ 
tion in the number of animals. 
Newspapers in Argentina give promi¬ 
nence to the growing exportation of corn, 
estimates being made that it is now going 
on at a rate of 100,000 tons a week. 
Large quantities are going to the United 
States, France and Spain. 
Julius Barnes, United States Wheat 
Director, announced Oct. 27 he had re¬ 
voked until further notice the license 
granted to the Farmers’Elevator Associa¬ 
tion of Mound Ridge, Kan., as elevator 
operators and warehousemen. Complaint 
was made the company was not paying a 
fair reflection of the guaranteed price to 
producers, also that, the company failed 
to answer communications addressed to 
it, and further failed to appear when 
summoned to give explanation at a hear¬ 
ing before 1). F. I’iazzek, second vice- 
president of the United States Grain Cor¬

the summons was duly received and signed

Activities of political agitators and la¬ 
bor leaders of the “unscrupulous” sort 
were denounced as a menace to the po¬ 
litical and economic security of the na¬ 
tion by speakers at the opening session 
of the 39th annual meeting of the Far¬ 
mer’s National Congress at llagarstown, 
Md., Oet. 28. The need of an effective 
assertion of “100 per cent.” Americanism 
by the farmers of the country in combat¬ 
ing the attempt of radical elements to 
undermine the political institutions of 
the country was impressed upon more 
than 1 .otto farmer delegates, representing 
all sections of the country, who attended

POSTAL RULES—Postmaster Patten, 
of New York, recently called attention to 
the following announcement by the Post 
Office Department: 
“Owing to tlie many changes in terri¬ 
torial boundaries resulting from the war, 
the distribution of mail for foreign desti¬ 
nations now requires, on the part of the 
postal employees at United States 
exchange post offices, a clearer knowledge 
than formerly of the addresses on articles 
of mail for foreign countries addressed 
in German. Russian, Greek, Turkish, He¬ 
brew or Chinese characters. 
“Postmasters will give notice that mail 
articles addressed in German, Russian. 
Greek, Turkish. Hebrew or Chinese char¬ 
acters. even if they bear in English ‘Ger¬ 
many.’ ‘Russia,’ ‘Greece,’ ‘Turkey,’ or 
‘China,* etc., will not be accepted for 
despatch unless there is an interlined 
translation of each address in English or, 
in lic'u ut these two addresses, that the 
names of the post office and country of 
destination be shown in Roman or Eng¬ 
lish characters, print or script.”
