Cookingham, ex-sheriff of Umatilla county .addressed the church people of Heppner in a un ion meeting at the Christian church on Sunday evening, his theme being pronibltion, and during the course of the address he made plain that there was going to be no let up on the part of the wets in their fight against the 18th amendment; while the leaders of the antls were well satisfied that they could never mus ter a force sufficient to amend the constitution and repeal the Volstead act, yet they were hard at work to nullify the law, and hoped that they would be able to have it so amend ed that the alcoholic content in drinks might be raised from the present standard of one half of one per cent to at least 2.75, and It was this movement that the prohibition forces were called upon right now to combat. Mr. Cookingham was here under the auspices of the Anti- Saloon League of Oregon, and funds were raised to help that or ganization in carrying on its work for the coming two years. Mrs. Alvin Wade, sister of Mrs. George Moore of this city, is visit ing at the Moore residence from her home at Cheyenne, Wyoming. Tires for the new Ford are specially made to give long wear WnEN tlie new Ford was le signed, it was immediately apparent that a new tire would have to be made to match the car's perform ance. It was distinctly a new problem, for here was a car with quicker acceleration, greater speed and more braking efficiency than any car of similar size or weight. So that every Ford owner might be assured of maxi mum tire mileage at the low est cost, the Ford Motor Company devoted many months to research and experiment in conjunc tion with the leading tire manufacturers. As a result, certain defi nite specifications were de veloped for tires for the new Ford. These specify cords of certain strength and texture, a large volume of tread and side-wall rubber, sturdy non skid design, and reinforced plies for protection against i bruise breaks all the strong features of construc tion formerly considered for only the largest tires. Great care also was taken to secure the best ridingqual ities in connection with the transverse springs and the Houdaille shock absorbers. Though the Ford tires are designated as 30 x 4.50, they have the resiliency and air space of much larger tires because of the drop center rim of the steel-spoke wheels. For best results, the tires on the new Ford should be kept inflated to an air pres sure of 33 pounds and checked regularly to insure this pressure all the time. This is important. Low in flation breaks down the side walls of a tire. By causing overheating, it also destroys the rubber that acts as an insulation, with consequent separation of the cord. At the end of each 5000 miles, when you have the front wheels packed with grease, it is a good plan to have the wheel alignment checked. This will prevent premature wear. When punctures come, aa they will with any tire, you will find the Ford dealer particularly well-equipped to make repairs quickly and at small cost. See him, too, for replacements. Then you will be sure of getting tires built specially for the rord car according to definite Ford specifications.
