Of all the tires that are made,
why do you suppose we
prefer to sell United States
Tires?
Because they are made by
the biggest rubber company
in the world. And they know
how to build good tires.
They have choice of ma
terials, they have immense
facilities, they employ monj
exclusive methods.
They can go to greate:
lengths in testing, improvinj
and perfecting the things tha
make good tires.
We find it good business t
sell United StatesTires.
And you will find it goo
business to buy them. The:
are here-a tire for every neec
frum a vacation spi-nt in the Crescent
Lake and Huod Canal region. "Our
party ferried from Fort Angeles across
to Vancouver and vis.tej the pleasant
r.ooks there and saw some if the Brit
ish Columbia roads. They are fine."
Mr. Bianchar says that he was im
pressed while in the Canadian prov
inces at the interest the citizens there
were takirg in the agitation against
the high cot-t uf living in this country.
'"While prices seem a little higher
acroes the border than thev are here,"
says Mr. Planchar, "the Canadians do
ni.t svem to luok fot much relief from
their uwn government. However, they
think that anything accomplished in
the tinted States to bring down the
high cut of living will have an imme
diate beneficial effect for them.'
"'We visited Aberdeen and made the
trip through the Olympics along Hood
Canal stopping one night at trie Ant-,
lers Hotel on Lake Cushman, once a
lieautiful place similar to our Ixo-t
Lake in size and surroundings. The
large timber has been recently cut and
tires left a blackened waste which it ,
w ill take years to efface. We should !
jealously guard our Lost Lake against
any such misfortune.
Lake Crescent, twenty miles west of
I'ort Angeles is the mecca of all tour-:
ists. It is about la miles long and two
miles wide and is provided w ith good
hotels and splendid camping grounds
and is an ideal spot for a real outing.
At 1'ort Angeles we crossed to Vic
toria and after making the principal
scenic trips to Vancouver Islands we
again took the boat to Vancouver on
the main land. Hoth cities are well
worth seeing in my opinion, and how
they do appreciate our money! An
acquaintance readily cached my check
for fifty dollars on the First National,
Hood Kiver, paying me $52. TiO for it
and assured me that he would profit by
the transaction.
Koads? Well, we found the usual
variety, paved gravel and dirt, the
latter usually rotten. The worst roads
were really due, however, to detours
caused by extensive paving work being
done at this time. Our party were all
wishing we had the good roads of Hood
Kiver Valley to travel over instead of
the many miles of worn out macadam
in Washington. We took our time,
however, and made the 12u0 mile trip
without any tire truoble whatever.
I was impressed with the general
feeling of optimism anj apparent pros
perity everywhere. Mr. and Mrs. H.
11. Larkin, formerly of Hood Kiver,
are well established at Bellingham,
Wash., and wnhed to he remembered
to their many Hood Kiver friends.

'"Carnation" to the hurried fruit farmer- at
this time of year especially- means freedom
from the costly annoyance of caring for cows.
To his wife it is just as much a blessing, for
it gives her exactly the quantity of fresh,
sweet milk she needs whenever she needs it
and no straining to do, no pails and pans
to scald and wash.

VACATION NOTES
"The Puget Sound country is a de
lightful goal for the summer motor-ii-t."
says E. O. Planchar, just back
While reports, brought by a number
of other motorists on the Portland-Astoria
highway have not been flattering,
K. H. Perigo, who is just back with his
family from a tour of beach points, de
clares that he found conditions fairly
good.
Mr. Perigo traveled out of Portland
bv way of Newberg, McMinnville,
Sheridan and Grand Kotide Indian res
ervation to Tillamook, a distance of lhO
miles from Hood Kiver.
"We found the roads down through
the Williimette valley and over the
coast mountains to Tillamook in pretty
much the same condition they are here
in the Hood Kiver valley. Some spots
were bi tter than others, of course, but
all in all the going was better than we
had expected. The oo miles up the
coast to Astoria from Tillamook is as
tine toad as anyone could ask for. We
stopped at Cannon Peach for several
Jays, lt is the best beach on the coast.
Eight or nine Hood Kiver families have
been there this summer.
"We returned home by way of As
toria. The distance to Portland is
about KM) miles. We took an easy pace
and spent seven hours en route. 1 had
expected from some of the reports
reaching us that we would hit trouble,
but it seems that this route changes
almost overnight. One day a motorist,
may think the route is terrible because
of miles of freshly spread crushed rock,
w hlie the next this has all been rolled
out smooth. "

THE DEPENDABLE PASSENGER CAR
A forty-year-old organization -the Kentucky Wagon
Manufacturing Company-vouches for the dependability
of the Dixie Flyer.
This organization claims the Dixie to he a passenger
car of exceptional value. It offers as evidence the num
erous refinements of the car. many of which are lound
only in automobiles selling at higher prices.
We make this claim without intimation that the price
of other cars is excessive. It is done merely to show that
at the price, the Dixie Flyer ait'ords a splendid opportu
nity to own an advanced car, and yet, one that even the
man of moderate means can afford to buy and operate.
The evidence presented tells a wonderful story of
automobile goodness. A comparison, unit for unit, with
cars selling at higher prices substantiates our claim that
the Dixie is a car of rare value.
We. alone, do not vouch for the dependability of the
various units. They are manufactured by reliable concerns
-they are recommended and approved by makers of auto
mobiles which are listed at prices above that of the Dixie.
How we can sell a car at the price, equipped with
these tine units, is a part of another story. Here's the
car, completely equipped, at $1535, Hood River. Make
your comparison - judge the Dixie Flyer on its merits.

R. A. IK ICR A SON, Piopriidor'
A party of Astoria motorists, who
have been touring since August ,'!,
hnving visited British Columbia and
Victoria, teturning here last week by
way of the Snoqualmie Pass and North
Yakmia, declare that the worst stretch
of highway encountered in the entire
trip was that between Sunnyside and
Mabton, Wash.
I "The condition is not going to last,
however," says Richard Caruthers,
member of the party, "for they are
already at work on a new road "in the
, Mabton section. The tourists have
high praise for the roads of Victoria
I Island and the British Columbia
; country. They toured the Georgian
I Circle. The members of the party
were: Mr. and Mrs. Richard Caruth
ers and son, Eben, Mrs. W. E. Tallant
land daughter, Miss Laura Elizabeth,
i and Victor Crick. While here the As-
toria people called on Mrs. Emma E.
Epping and family.
A party of men on a pleasure tour of
1 the Northwest passed through here
Tuesday en route to Minneapolis from
' Portland by way of Salt Lake city.
They had visited Yellowstone, but af
ter a night ppent in camp at Eagle
creek, they declared that the Columbia
1 Highway, with its enticing cliffs, river
1 views and cataracts, surpassed any
scenic place they had visited.
The members of the party were :
Lewis L. Drill, former star baseball
1 player of the American league, of St.
: Paul ; Judge H. S. Gilford, of Minneap
olis, and Harry Drill, of Christobal,
: Panama.
; The worst stretch of road that we
, found between here and Sunnyside,"
says 0. W, Hoffman, superintendent
; of schools of the latter place, "was
: the 10 miles between Lyle and White
Salmon. The road has been cut full of
i small ruts and is extremely dustv."
! Mr. Hoffman crossed the Columbia
, from White Salmon for a visit with E.
' T. Robinson, local city school superin
tendent, before proceeding with Mrs.
I Hoffman and daughter to coast points
Ion an outing.
QUALITY CLOTHES
In these times of hi;j,h prices, poor
cloth and inferior workmanship, it is a
great satisfaction to a man to know I hat
he is getting something that is absolute
ly rieht.
That is why we are selling more
clothes now than ever before. Men know
that, the clothes we make are right and
that we don't sell shoddy or cotton mixed
cloth. You can buy cheaper clothes than
we sell, but you can't. bu. good clothes
at more reasonable prices than ours.

Be sure to say "Threaded Rubber
If everybody said "Threaded Rubber Insulation" when
they bought batteries and saw to it that "Threaded Rub
ber" was what they not, there would be less battery grief.
- Far fewer jobs of reinsiilation that is so often neces
sary to get full life out of the plates of an ordinary battery.
- Assurance of longer battery life.
If your battery is getting to the point where it shows
signs of (putting it will pay you to net on the track of
