SNODGRASS, The Quality Grocer Autos, Motorcycles TIN N Track, Bowling WOR CLUB IS WELL STARTED Committees and managers to gov ern the 1916 Motorcycle Meet in tills city, were appointed at an important meeting of the. La Grande Motor club, successor to the La Grande Motor ycto club, Thursday evening. Roscoe Heal will be race manager this year again as he has been in, the past. The meeting was an interesting one And much was done in the way of getting the proposition under way. In the way of enlarging the field and purposes, wthlich this year embrace all motor vehicles rather than purely motorcycles, the club decided to throw the membership open to the entire county rather than confining dt to La Grande alone. ' The appointment of committees to hold through th)e meet was an import ant matter and was gone into with care and caution. The following havo been named, the first mentioned being chairman : ' Race manager Koscoe Neal. Advertising manager F. B. . Cur-fey- Referee Jay Van Buren. Membership committee Ernest Vehrs, Gus Levy, Tracey Hollister, Walter Reuter, J. G. Snodgrass. Entertainment committee Harley Richardson and Herbert Browning. Building committee Roscoe Neal, Henry Roscamp, G. A. Frosdick. Race committee Neal, Chase Boh- The "Barefoot" Tire- and Why. C INSIDER now the means by which many Tires have been given maximum Traction, i.e., by means of a sandpapery" texture in the Rubber of their Anti-Skid Treads. Every time the Brakes are put on, to make such Tires grip the road, the relatively hard, unyielding, and compar atively brittle, texture of the Rubber in their Treads causes these Treads to grind away on the pavement, to WEAR OUT fast at the point of contact' The sudden efficiency of their grinding-Traction also tugs so sharply on the Rubber Adhesive between the layers of Fabric in Tire as to separate these layers. There is little "give" to them just as there is little "slide" to them. So, they gain Traction at the expense of Mileage. Naturally such Tires require a great BULK of such Rubber in order to deliver reasonable Mileage before worn out And, therein they differ radically from GOODRICH "Barefoot" Tires. Because, the Safety-Tread on Goodrich Tires is made of "Barefoot-Rubber," a new, and exclusive compound which discards unnecessary whitish "frictional" ingredi ents that are heaviest and inert, as proved by their lighter weight H s:sj .-'" 32 s 3V4 ,,515 33 m 4 Saletr Triad S22.O0 34 x 4 "rirLUt" J23.40 36 4ft I 60 37 9 $3T.3S 38sSJ4- 50.60 GOODRICH ERE is how it acts in Automobiling, When the weight of the Car bears this clinging "Barefoot-Rubber" Tread, and the power is applied to go ahead or reverse, the wonderful stretch in the ''Barefoot" Rubber Sole (or Tread) of the Goodrich Tire acts as a sort of Lubricant between the Fabric Structure of the Tire and the Road. Then, the Bartfboi-Rubber "Toes," of the Goodrich Safety-Tread Tire, CLING to the pavement (instead of grinding against it), in such manner as your Bare Foot would cling to a slippery, surface without Grind, and so, with the minimum of Frictional Heat or Wear for maxi mum Traction. Goodrich ' 'Barefoot-Rubber" is now made into Goodrich FABRIC Tires, Goodrich Silvertown Cord Tires, Good rich Inner Tubes, Goodrich Truck Tires, Goodrich Motor Cycle, and Bicycle, Tires, as well as into Goodrich Rub ber Boots, Over-Shoes, Soles and Heels. Get a Sliver of it from your nearest Goodrich Branch, or Dealer. Stretch it thousands of times, but break it you can't N That's the Stuff that GOODRICH Black-Tread Tires are made of. THE B. F. GOODRICH CO. Akron, Ohio "barefoot' Tires nenkamp and P. A. Foley. Finance committee Foley, Al Dan iel, Harris French. Bohnenkamp and E. D. Selder. . . , Louis Biodler of Unon purchased a Reo Six this week from Al Daniel. Last evening Leo French took a Reo four to Cove for Louis Bloom, also from the Daniel agency. ,, A carload of Reos is to arrive in the city within a day or two. A car of Chcvrolets is rolling. Dan Boyd, Enterprise attorney, was brought up, chummed with and is intimately acquainted with the Haynes family which turns out the Haynes car. Back in Portland, InJ. Mr. Boyd and Elwood Haynes. Sum Haynes now leading Prohibitionists ahd Walter, a well known banker, wore intimately acquainted. Mr. Boui rode in the first cair ever turned outjy these men and the Enterprise man reters to it now as a jinriKcni. '.. After a 100-mile drive in which he covered many lanes and higthtway3 from La Grande to Summervtlle Im bler and Cove yesterday, Frank Bay pronounces the roads in first class condition. He made the trip m a Dodge. WS11 Ruckman, White agent, tells an interesting story of the test the Mexican invasion has put on Whits trucks and automobiles. Without automobiles the invasion would have been impossible on the scope it was carried on. Every piece of motor equipment, now in service in Mexico is called up on to render extraordinary service. In overcoming the natural difficul ties presented by deep desert sands, always shifting with the wind and obliterating parts of the trail, as well as the rough routes through passes and canyons, the army trucks have on ly begun their work. The sand storms which impose so much suffering up on the men and mules, also impede the progress of the trucks. Great clouds of dust and fine sand, raised by the gentlest breeze, sweep across the deserts and plateaus of Chihuahua, enveloping the trucks and lodging sand in the truck carburetors, as well as the eyes and throats of the drivers. Eddies of sand strike the face with stinging force and add to the suffering from sun and wind. In some of the narrow passes through which the truck must travel, a few grains of sand in a carburetor might easily tie up a whole convoy, inas much as there would be no oppor tunity for one truck to pass another. C. Wilson cf t'.e firm of Wilson & Son, agent for the Hupmobile, has re turned from -Baker where he sold two machines. Both are roadsters and one was disposed of to the Kirkpatrick grocery and the other to Mr. Bosman, a traveling man who makes his hend quarters in Baker. C. E. Evans, Overland distributor here, drove to Baker Thursday in company with Roscoe Neal. They re port the road good most of the way with exception of some rough spots east of North Powder. They made the trio in two hours and three min utes going.' Mr. Evans drove his Overland six on the trip. Factorv Representative Peters, of California, and Portland, arrived yes terday to confer with Overland Agent Evans. The much-touted wire-wheel Over land and the Silent Knight, shipped early in the week have been slow in reaching the Overland agency here. They are for demonstration and sales purposes when they are unloaded. Herbert Browning is driving a Karter Kar, the second in town. The machine was acquired in Enterprise and was sent out to Mr. Browning a couple of days ago. This is one of the few friction drive cars in the coun try. Charles. McOrary and Harley Rjph ardson left Thursday for an automo bile trip to John Day! They expect' to get back Tuesday. Because it is early in the season their friends anticipate they will see mud most of the way n the long interior jaunt. The new Cadilac eight, . roomy enough for seven passengers' com fortably and ' nine in a pinch, has made its appearance in the city, W. H. Bohnenkamp showing the fancily painted machine on the streets yes terday. It is one of tho higher priced cars. - Thp last consignment of Dodges to reach the city consisted of five cars and were quickly disposed of by Agent L. C. Smith. They arrived Thursday morning and were in per manent hands by the noon ihour. Among the new Dodge' owners are Messrs, Poarch, Scroggin, Reuter, of this city and Grout of North Powder. Ed Myersick and 'Ben Shares are two men who are on the waiting list for Dodges. " EXHIBITION NEXT WEEK. Through error, the Overland advertisement today fails to cover the purpose intended for it. Agent Evans -wishes to an nounce that on Monday after noon, Tuesday and probably Wednesday, a new silent Willys Knight car will be on exhibition in this city and that Mr. Peters, factory expert will 'be here at the same time, and that his knowledge of autos can be made use of by the public. The public is invited to attend these dem onstrations. ,. t f WATERLOO BOY MAKES GOOD IN GRANDE RONDE VALLEY Guarantcd to do Work of Eight Hor ses on the Farm Is tho power machine bound to usurp the old faithful horse in farm work? That's the question thr.t confronts the Grande Ronde Valley today, and the answers seems to be in the af firmative. This conclusion is drawn after see ing: one of the Waterloo Boys works. Walter Parker, east of La Grande, has one and Claude Woodell in the Summerville district also has install ed one. W. R. Leadbetter of the Ali cel country, will have one working next week. The little tractor is doing all that is claimed for it, and even mare. It works with the flexibility of a horse team almost, yet it does the work of eight good sturdy horses. The Co-operative company is hand ling the new tractor and. instead of making claims for his machine Mana ger Bunting immediately drives one to where one of the little fellows is handling plows or doing other need ful work on the ranch. He is never disappointed for the Waterloo Boy goes cWugging away at Its work with out stop for hmderance and if you wilt talk with, the man who runs it you will find a cheerful word from a sat isfied buyer. "We knew it hid to come" said Mr. KuntSng. '"We knew trjat 4tneone would build a practical power rig for ranch work and after waiting and LA S BREAK MARKS NEW WORLD'S RECORD ESTAB LISHED LAST NIGHT. Bowling Team of Two Men Break Their Own and Previous Records. C. Waldeh and Ed. Houck, La Grande bowlers .who recently . broke the world's record for two-man 'teams last night upset another mark when they bowled 1494 pins in three games. Walden rolled 246, 267, and 236 for a total of 749. Houck rolled 254, 258 ana zas tar a total or 746. xnis bet ters their mark of 1372 established last January. The former record was set at Philadelnlhtia in 1912 when Knox . and Satterwaite Tolled 1445 in three - The La Grande boys have been showered witih compliments on their performance last evening, and have previously attracted the attention of the Northwest to their 'bowjjng. CROSS COUNTRY TODAY High School Athletes Given First Hard Test of Year Skipping over a course that has length enough to make the test stren uous high school athletes today under went tho first tryout- of speed and endurance which has been required of them this year. Coach Reynolds, fresh from the Far Western at Cor .vallis a week ago where he rubbed shoulders with the cream of the Paci fic coast athletes, is home churned into excitement over up-to-the-minute points of coaching. He will transfuse that to his men through tho next conditioning campaign. Today's cross country began 'on the training grounds and meandered up to the mouth of Deal canyon and back by devious twists and bends. The famous Kelly of Los Angeles Athletic club who a week ago today beat Kadderly in the 220 by a pace and set a new indoor world's rrecord, spent a couple of days in Corvallis, and during that time Coach Reynolds, who was on his trail for pointers, "got wisef' to some new aids to sprin ters. ' Kadderly's power is not waning al beit 'he was beaten in the 220, reports Mr. Reynolds. The mighty O. A. C. boy has a world of steam, and with a and with a little more condition ing will be a tremendous sprin ter. Ho traveled the first half of the quarter laA Saturday in 24 seconds considerable faster than most men can run that dis tance alone- Basketball Tonight. This evening the Imbler Athlehc club basketball team will meet the Y. M. C. A. Spain t the Y. These vwo .teams played recently the La Gland ers winning and now tne lmuienuoa want another chance to redeem themselves. searching and trying out everything that was put on the market we finally selected the Waterloo Boy for wo know it does the work. Not one day but every day. It is always ready. It is not too heavy, and the easy hand ling of the machine makes it a favor ite from the moment it is put on a ranch."
