Nor nro these all thn things which nut tax money provides,- thera nro many others which perhaps nro not to direct, nnd not so much appre ciated, for oxamplo wo have tho scnlos In stores tested, tho gasollno pumps measured, linvo our olcctrlr fixtures Judged, and thn machinery In our manufacturing plnnts Inspect ed ror safo guards etc. Tho gonornl tnxpnyor does not rnnllio tho bnnofllM of many of thoso, nnd to him they do not seem necossary, In fact thoy nro not noo ossary, or rnthor would not ho neo ossary If omployorH nnd merchant wero as thoughtful as thoy ought to ho.

A contemplation of tho manifold activities of government Impress tho fact upon tho mind thnt wo are n much governed people Wo havo gotten fur from tho Ideal of him who snld: "Ho govorns host who governs least." Government hns ovolvcd slnco that Idea was voiced. Then tho pcoplo wero striving for political freedom. Wo hnvo had political freedom for years nnd found that It did lot provo n panacea for poli tical Ills. For years wo havo had agitation for political action In overy sphoro of llfo. slnco wo hnvo sought that, It m,ust ha paid for. How to radtico tho cost of government with out nhnudnultig many of tha extra governmental functions of govern ment Ih tho problem to ho solved. Who will undortnko that tnsk? no Tin: i-uitMr.iM want CO-OPUHATION Ono of tho ott repented phases at almost tiny gathering or men, bo thoy fanners or business men, Is; "This Is a day of cooperation." Is It? Sometimes wo nro p rones to think that It Is not but Is slioiibl bo. Kor years thoro has been ovldont coopunitlon In business. DubIiioss has not stopped nl co-operation but linn developed corporations, amal gamations and associations of cor porations of such .gigantic propor tions that tho ardlnnry mind cannot follow tho linos of corpornto offort Into tho many ramifications of Its multifarious activity. Hut whon business in on lnn small town talk about co-oporatlng, oven In n small nnd simple mnnnor with their farmer frlouds, their neighbors nnd business oustomers, thoro nro those In ovory community who will rlso nnd say: "Tho, farnior docs not want, to co-opurato with tho IiiisIiiosh man Their Intorests aro not In harmony Tho fnrmor wants to run his own business nnd not bo dlctntod to by tho morchnnts." All of which Is more of (oss truo, but not entirely so. Tho fnrmor must roallzo that thoro Is cbnngo taking plncn among tho business mnn of most small towns. That chnngo In nttltudo Is tho basis upon which real bonoflc- lal co-oporutloii can bo started. Tha business man realizes now, as nover bofnro, that his prosporlty Is dopondont upon tho prosperity of his cuatomors, his fnrmor frlouds. Their Intorests nro mutual. Blnrtlng from thnt promlso thoro Is room for liopo that a real co oporatlvo offort botweon tho busi ness man nnd tho farmer. Proof of this stntoment Is ovldont In tho suc cessful effort mndo lu orgnnlxlng tho poultry producers In Canyon It ia significant that mora than half the motorists of the Pacific Coast use Zero leae for Correct Lubrica tion, nnd the number k growing.

Tho farm bureau through Its mar keting commlttco mndo an offort to do this work, nnd hnd secured n stnrt, but tho farmers woro busy. Evory farmor bad his own ranch to caro for nnd could not give tho tlmo. but tho buslnoss men took tho tlmo from their business nnd by co-oporn-tlvo offort put It ovor. Thoy thorn solvos havo notlTlng to do with tho association. Thoy morely furnish ed tho soiling agency for tho Idea, tho ranchers do tho rest. Thoro Is a perfect oxamplo of ca-oporatlvo effort. Tho plan was worked out, tho business mon gnvo tholr tlmo to nld tho farmers, tho farmors thru tho abided 'prosporlty which tho work of tho association, will bring to them will return bus iness to tho city of Culdwoll which will recompense tho business men for tholr offort.

It Is up to tho business men of Ontario to provo to tho farmors of this section thnt thoy aro as deeply Intercotod In tholr success ns tho business mon of Caldwell nro Interested In tho success of tholr neighbors. Tho Argus knows that the business mon nro so Interested, nnd wo bollovo thnt many of tho rnnchor know It. Others ought to know It nnd thoy will.

It'a because I consider it n really big step forward in tire-making. "It's just this way. If you look at an ordinnry tire, you'd say the rubber wa3 one solid, even mass. But it isn't. It's full of millions, of 'lumps' 'lumps' so small you can't sec them with the naked eye. These 'lumps' are formed when the rubber is 'compounded,' that is, when the strengthening materials are mixed in with the pure rubber gum. Every 'lump is of course a weak spot in the tire. "Thlt was discovered only recently by the Thcnnold Kubbtr Company experts. Knowing what was the trouble with ordinary tire rubber, these men went ahead and developed a new rubber compound. This new compound li Crollde. It almost entirety does away with lumpy' formations." Crollde Compound Is to-day used exclusively Globe Service Station ONTARIO, OREGON ernaoTIRES Cord and Fabric J.
