Three of a Kind PENNSYLVANIA VACUUM CUP, BARNEY OLD FIELD AND GOODRICH TIRES IN BOTH FABRIC AND CORD Vou all know the quality of Goodrich Tires and while Pennsylvania and Oldfield Tires are new in this section their reputation is known world wide. It is our policy to carry but the very best in the tire line ar.il so we have chosen these three. Let us put one on your tar it will speak for itself. THE SAFETY GRIP OF PENNSYLVANIA Cup Vacuum TIRES The Vacuum Cup Tread of four rows of massive Vacu um Cups is the only tread guaranteed not to skid on wet, slipery pavements. The weight of the car presses the Cups successively artinst. the pavement and seals each Cup with vacuum suction. This grip is instantly released by the forward rolling of the tires which lifts the cups edgewise, releases the vacuum without resistance, and prevents speed deten tion. Vacuum Cup Tires are guaranteed per warranty tag for 6,000 miles, practically double the mileage of ordi nary 3,500 mile tires. Despite this difference. Vacuum Cup Tires cost ap proximately the same as tires assuring little more than half the mileage, and much less than any other make car rying equal mileage surety. In view of this combined economy, service and safety, the reason for the ever-increasing heavy demand for Vacuum Cup 6000 Mile Tires is apparent. PENDLETON RUBBER & SUPPLY CO. Wm. Dunn, Manager WIIOIJCSAI.K AND RETAIL SOS Eat Court St., Telephone 135 BY RALPH H. TURNER. (United' lreH Staff Correspondent.) CITV OF MKXICO, Jan 10 Buglctf blared, eiKhUn-n thounund Mexican throats tested the full capacity of ofghteen thouKund pair of Mexican luiifcH, a Kate swung up on one Bide of the pit and a shouting bull, ItH head describing a vicious circle, rushed In to thr full glare of an afternoon sun. The bull flKht had returned to Mexico. buck In 115, the Oarranza govern ment barred the bull fight from the federal district, in wtch the Mexican capital Is located. And for four year the public has been clamoring for Its revival. The authorities finally re lented. A propitious time for its re turn, they decided, was during the lislt here of the murines and naval of ficers from Attn ntina, Uruguay and Cuba, who came to Mexico with their warships as an escort to the body of 'he Mexican poet. Ainado Nervo, who died while on a diplomatic mission to .South America. So the bull baiting, in a way. was in their honor. Itiill Spared, Hordes 1P But more than that It was to ap pease the demand of Mexican public, in an effort to be humane "the au thorities ruled that the battle should contain all the trimmings of a regular finish fight except that the bufl dinuld not be Killed. And anybody knows that to spare the bull removes al! the thrill from any toreo. Any way, the bull escaped the slaughter house but In their crusade for h'.'mnn ity the authorities overlooked the horses. Three of them, pitiful vic tims of a bull's savage horns, were killed during the afternoon. liut that's part of the game, and always has been, so the paradox causes no comment here. What Mexico City wants is dead bulls. Head and alive, the bulls and the sport they provided presented to an American all the picturesque features which had been promised by stag and fiction. The bull ring, said to be the largest In the world, not except ing the one In Madrid can accommo date 25,000 persons. Rising from the circular arena, tier after tier of seats were Tilled with fans, with the digni taries occupying the boxes nt the top. The dyed-in-the-wool fans, the bleach e rites of Mexico's national sport, fill ed the "sun scoction." Hero are the cheap seats, from one to three pesos. for one half of the amphitheater is In the sun's glare; the high priced seats are in the shade. Preceding the fight was the usual procession of performers just lilve the opening scene under any "big top" In the States. Banderillos, matadors, picadors all appered in an array of Bicwior anu iancy costume mat aazziea jthe eyes. Tricks Infuriate Animal. This over, the arena was cleared. Bring on the bull! As the bovine rushed out. a small, thin dagger, with colored ribbons attached is planted between his shoulders. This is to pro voke the buU. Then the boys with the red flags get busy. The. bull lowers his head, snorts and charges. He misses. But he finally gets a horse; maybe two. When the animal appears sufficiently weary and angry, the first act has ended. Next, the banderillos. It is the du ty of these gentlemen, armed with fMcks two feet long, the end of the stick containing a barb tn drive their weupr ns into the back of the bull's neck, behind the head. Thev comply -three banderillos, each wih a pair of bar b. if by this time the bull lasn't displayed sufficient fury, some jort of TNT chsrpe may be attached to one of the barbs. This explodes in the wtvmal's hide: thai gives him pep. ITtftftlty, the matador, the execution er who first toys with the bull, waving his cloak under his nope, the bull charging one way, then another. Aft er thoroughly proving the superiority of ma n over brute intelligence the matador plnres himself in a strategic n nsi t i o n raises his a rm and d r i ves home the death f-'word, at the vulner able point on top of the neck. But on this occasion the sword was a "dud." The bull was spared. His fate In he future is now in the hands of the federal authorities.

"Do not export taxes to he satisfac tory to you,' he said. "Taxes never please the payer, but the duty to pay is as imperious as that fulfilled by the soldier, who Is in danger if UN taxpayer fails. Our allies have out stripped us In this. In Kngland, for example, the charge on the taxpayer is much heavier than in France. Our country assuredly suffered greatly through the war, hut has today an Improved material situation, which demands sacrifice on the part ot" her people." An Improved Truck of 22 Tons Here is a truck that we believe represents the maximum power, efficiency and economy that is available anywhere in the 2 to 2 ton class. Even that is understating the facts because the capacity rating is extremely conservative. It is built so sturdily and so well balanced throughout that it will stand up under exceptionally strenuous service. This improved truck is the latest product of the Republic factories. It is their final achievement perfected from experience in building the more than 50,000 Republic Trucks now in use. At the Truck shows in all the principal cities it has attracted wide attention from everyone interested in motor trucks.

Enlarged radiator with cooling capacity to meet the needs of any climate or emergency. . Oilless bearings supplant grease cups on the brake shaft bracket and brake pedals.

Wheels are artillery type; wheelbase 144 , optional 1 68 " Firestone pressed on tires 36" x 4" front 36" x 7 11 rear; pneumatics, extra price.
