In addition we are au thorized to give with each Casing one tube free. The Pennsylvania is a sturdy (>(MH) mile tire, luvs been B U IL T on a H00 mile basis for many years. At the present moment with no advance in its price and a tube free, it is the Biggest Tire Bargain in the world. But the advance may come at any moment. Again we were hit with the price of gasoline. All oils and gasolines have shot up during the last year. Yet, because of our carload purchase before the recent advance in oil prices, we can offer you in bulk quanti ties or coupon books sales a decided cut in the prices of Yeedol and Mono gram oils which are retailing elsewhere at :>0c and 35c per quart. Here at 26%c per quart, down, Act at once on the present Pennsylvania Tire Bargain. Protect yourself on further oil advances by buying a coupon book now, Or.

Of course, among mer chant ships the Leviathan, 950 feet long, is the longest, with the lin- perator and the Aquitania, each 900 feet long, of the Cunard line, com ing next. Among warships, the longest in commission today are the Renown and her sister, the Repulse, each being 789 feet. But the long est warship constructed and soon to go into commission, is the British battle cruiser Hood, which is 900 feet in length and about 42,000 tons full load displacement. Our navy department has designed six battle cruisers 875 feet in length. Therefore, you cannot be too particular about-the selection of the man to whom you entrust your eyes.

So when Washburn as LeRoy Syl vester, a model young men if there ever was one, whispered the usual sweet nothings in her ear she re fused him. Why? Well, he was too model. He had never taken a drink in his life. He had never looked side ways at any other girl but herself. He had never played cards! Frankly, Ruth was afraid of him—because he was so good! Then LeRoy sallied forth and scat tered a few wild oats to the four winds before the ceremony took place. This was in the way of in surance for Ruth. If you are look ing for a good, hearty laugh, just step around. Patrons of the Isis will welcome Dustin Farnum in his big super- feature, “The Light of Western Stars," which will be shown Tues and Wednesday. This famous stage and screen star will be seen as the wild, but lovable Gene Stewart, ace cowl>oy of the Southwestern border. With Farnum’s virile, convincing talent and the most thrillingly fas ciuation of Zane Grey’s masterly stories the picture teems with ex citing interest. The plot deals with the adventures which arise out of Gene Stewart's wild wagep- that he would marry Ihe first girl who blew into the little Western town. When he carried out his wager further than he knew ami the girl proves to be a sister of the rancher whose foreman Stewart is, things happen quick, and the audi- ence swings between hope and fear right up to the final picture.
