The doctor ran down an old man
while crossing a street, lie took the
man to the nearest hospital and
found upon examination no serious
injuries. He left him in charge of a
nurse for a few days.
Upon his next morning visit to
his patient a well-dressed young
woman of comely appearance was in
the room. “ Tlnw do you find him
this morning, doctor?” said she.
“ Oh, he’s all right,” said the doctor.
“ What he needed most was a good
bath and a good cleaning up.”
“ Well,” said she, “ he’s mv father

Willamette University, located
at Salem, is one of the oldest
denominational schools in the
country, has a magnificent rec
ord of achievement and has
given to the world many men
and women of strong character
who have contributed and are
coiuriuulliig to the best prog
ress of the nation’s life— espe
cially of the Northwest.
Willamette exists for but one
purpose—to educate men and
women fully, in a Christian way,
and to send them out into the
world to help make It better.
That is what it has been doing
for 75 years and what it will
continue to do on a larger scale.
Willamette now needs the re
habilitation of Waller hall, par
tially destroyed by fire last De
cember, and completion of Lau
sanne hall, the former for men
and the latter as a dormitory for
women. A central heating plant
is also required.
Laymen of the Oregon confer
ence have set out to rai. v $100,-
000 for this purpose. Confident
that the old school is entitled
to even more than this amount,
they will canvass the state
about next week. To what bet
ter investment could money be
put?

GOOD NEWS!
Since May 1, 1920, the national
price of the Maxwell touring car
has advanced $100.00.
It means the Maxwell car soon
to be awarded in the Folk Coun
ty Fost's subscription campaign
is now really worth $1330.00,
whereas it has been advertised
as having a value of only
$1230.00.
Surely this will be good news
to all who are striving to win the
car. To the winner it will be like
picking up $100.00 in the road.

When you put Miller Ad-On-A-Tires o*i your
worn tires you are virtually rebuilding them. It
makes them oversize as well as more puncture-
proof.
For Miller Ad-On-A-Tires are more than simply
a tread. They are really a tire itself without the
beads. They are built of tough, buoyant rubber
with several layers of fabric, a breaker strip, and
side wall which completely covers the tire and
clinches under the rim. Each has the famous Miller
Geared-to-the-Road or rib tread.
They are put on by a special method. This
makes the Miller Ad-On-A-Tire an integral part
of the tire. It fits snugly and cannot creep.
Bring in your worn tires. Let us show you how the Miller Ad-On-a-Tire
enables you to get 75 per cent more mileage. For a very small fraction of
the original cost of your tires they can be made almost as good as new.
It makes no difference what size they are. Or what make. The Miller
Ad-On-A-Tire fits them all. So bring your tires to us and let us show you
how to get miles and miles of additional service.
