by 60 against the bond issue. Think
ing the bad roads this spring would
cause a change of sentiment, it
was tried again, but was defeated
by 1,000 votes. Perhaps selfish in
terests had something to do with
it, as they have been reaping a
harvest in pulling out stalled cars.
At one bad place a farmer near
by placed a. truck service. Ifis
profits were so large that a neigh
bor entered into competition with
a tractor. This enraged the truck
owner so much that he made a
complaint to the local authorities
that the tractor was unlawfully
working on the road without a
license. The judge decided, how
ever, that tractors required no lic
ense, and dismissed the case.
So long as counties control the
highways, as is the case in nearly
all the states in this locality, it
will be many years before complete
concrete highways connect the prin
cipal cities between states or even
between large cities in one state.
Road bonds are voted by counties,
the state paying half the cost on
designated state highways. Until
the counties agree to pay their
half of road construction, there
must remain a break in the trunk
line, and in bad weather local traf
fic is held up, with through traf
fic entirely blocked. Wisconsin and
Minnesota have fine, fair weather
roads all over the state, and have
enough concrete roads paraleling
each other around Milwaukee to
build complete highways connecting
all the principal cities in the state.
Gasoline and automobile taxes are
used in building the roads, and
paying for the bonds, yet the rural
counties blocking the work do not
realize that their own gas and
auto taxes are building roads in
other parts of the state.
Iowa has few paved roads, and
I Omaha is still isolated from the
north, east and south. Until the
roads dry up we will improve the
time with visits to old friends and
neighbors around the Twin Cities.
We are now the guests of Mr. and
Mrs. Chas. Newman. Easter day

through which we will have to pass
before reaching the Lincoln high
way at Omaha.

Application is often made by

Jack Conway, director of “The
Understanding Heart,” the Cosmo-
politian production coming to the
Majestic theatre on Saturday be
lieves that huge “close-up” will
be a thing of the past in
motion pictures. “Close-ups” of
players inserted where a medium
shot would get over the same af
fect, detract from the actual tell
ing and are prone to remind the
audience of the camera, a thing
that should be avoided as much
as possible, says Conway.
In "Hold That Lion,” at the
Majestic Sunday, Lean breaks all
the rules of a big game hunting,
and in doing so, furnishes sixty
minutes of hilarious action and
hair-raising thrills.
One of the largest crowds ever

E recently were given the tremendous advantage of having the mammoth
Firestone factories brought to us. In Tire Educational Meeting* we were
shown, by means of motion pictures, charts, tire samples and complete engineer
ing data, the details of Firestone tire design and construction - and how Fire
stone and Oldfield tires and tubes are made in the world’s most efficient and
economical rubber factories.
W
Firestone pioneered the original low-pressure tire and made it practical by
Gum-Dipping. The motion pictures showed us how the cords of the carcass
are dipped in a rubber solution, thoroughly saturating and insulating every
fiber of every cord with rubber. Simple demonstrations and tests illustrated the
great advantage of this process, which supplies the extra strength to withstand
the extra flexing strains of low-pressure construction—one of the reasons why
Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires are establishing
such unheard-of mileage records.

We learned why the Firestone Balloon Tread
gives extra safety, comfort and long wear. We
were shown why Firestone, from the very begin
ning, designed and continue to use the round
Balloon Tread, minimizing “shoulder breaks”, so
destructive to tires. Excess rubber at the edges of
a Balloon Tread is wasted—actually detrimental to
tire mileage. In the Firestone Tread the small
units and sharp projections are scientifically placed
to permit easy flexing, resulting in extraordinary
riding comfort.
Come in and let us put a set of these
Gum-Dipped Tires on your car you can
forget about tire trouble. Quality is
