Jacob Crawford, former fish peddler, came to tell his daughter he had failed in his plea to the Kovernor. "You did all you could, papa: I am ready to die," Mrs. Schroeder smiled at him through the bars. A Fhort time later she clasped her little son perhaps for the lat time.

Accord hiK to Karle K. Fitz water, president of the concern, the assets of the Guardian fctroup were $924, 53S a year aso and the recent statement shows the assets to be $4,740,01)0, or an increase of f3,ftl&,4G3. j "Naturally, we are proud of 1 Guardian's steady and impressive growth in Oregon," said Mr. Fitz . water. "Less than five years npo, ; Guardian was organized under the managership uf J. s. Moltzner, our present managing director, and under his efficient guidance the number of Guardian depositors i rapidly Increased. Tho first cat 1 pansiuu occurred when the Guar dian offices were moved from the Pacific Building to West Park and Yamhill in the spring of 1927. Last year we established branches and affiliations in Oregon City, The Dalles, Klamath Falls, Eugene, I Gresham, Alcha, Astoria, Med ford and Salem." ' Fitzwater attributes the growth .of liuilding and Loan concerns In Oregon to the desire of local peo : pie to save money in local institu tions. He declared that Building and Loan in the future would see even greater developments In the northwest, j Considerable attention was at tracted by the Guardian Building and Loan association last year when that organization purchased the 12-story building at Third and 'Alder streets in Portland for tho , locution of the home offices of the concern. Future plans of tho ; Mortgage Investment company, , managing company of Guardian, ! call for the erection of a modern office building at Fourth and Mor rison streets, construction of which lis expected to start sometime this j summer. l The number of Guardian deposi tors has increased comparative to ! the growth in assets during the I last year, as there were ll.lfiS ' deposit ors.

Six thousand, nine hundred and twenty eight new dealers joined us last year to give you Firestone's great value, and establish a standard service for the automobile owner. This increases our force of Firestone service-giving tire dealers to over 25,000. The low prices of rubber and cotton give Firestone unusual advantages due to their world wide facilities in securing these raw materials and their efficient manufacturing. With Firestone's most economical distributing system, with over 600 branches, warehouses and service stores, we can secure a complete line of fresh Firestone tires, tubes, batteries, brake lining, rims and acces sories within a few minutes' to a few hours' time and give our customers values and service that are not duplicated. COMPARE VALUES Firestone lias this year added more rubber to the tread which Kives 20 to 25 more safe mileage before the tread wears smooth. The Firestone Double Cord Breaker gives you SIX and EIGHT plies under the tread spreads road shocks lessens punctures gives over 50 stronger union be tween tread and tire body which ensures longer tire life and greater safety. Live rubber penetrates every cord and coats every fiber by the patented Gum-Dipping process thus not only every cord, but every fiber within the cords, is insulated; this gives you 25 to 40 added tire life.

It bent stiffly forward as though it too would have fallen on the scat beneath. "A bit lophcavy," he muttered. "It would never fall by Itself, al though not much strength would be required to push It over." "How ninny ot you were here last night?" He asked tho question of I be sisters, but Duckworth re plied.
