C.M. THOMPSON’S
WEEKLYLETTER
Many years have passed as time rolls
on and we find Hill Rural a man, near
ing the shady side of life. He lias a
wife and two children—a son and a
-daughter.
Now, Bill made much good headway
as a successful financier and had laid
a goodly sum in banks as well as choice
farming lands near a pretty city. The
greatest error lie had ever made was
in marrying. He wed a flapper, high
flier, loaded with any amount of gusli,
brass and egotism. A sport who came
from a family of small means who
d(>ted on dress and show to carry them
safely through this world.
to satisfy ids wife and children he
buy's a pretty home in the city and
moves into town. There he strolls,
jokes and passes away the time for a
few years while the daughter and son
are being educated and the wife is
swimming in high gear with her bails,
parties and clutvs. The time on Bill’s
bands becomes burdensome and to be
•employed he improves his lovely home
in fitting up an expensive parlor, bed
rooms and toilets. Next he makes won
derful changes in the yards, walks and
meadows so that there is no home like
Bill Rurats in any city near or far
away.
After all this Rill, like the playful
boy who has built a play house of
.docks, knocks them down in order to
rebuild them. Moaped about not be
ing able to knock down his playhouse.
While moaping he thought of the
farm and his early life, he strolled out
to a cool shady place, sits down and
takes a good old fashioned cry and
while he cries the wife is entertaining
a do veil swell companions of the city
ai care4-and a well filled punc.i bowl,
creams, cakes and many other c >stly
-edible.-.
At this same time the daughter is out
travel/ng in a speed devil that exist sev
eral thousand, while the son is sport
ing just as fancy a car with city lads
And lassies and before they return, a
swim in some pool to lieip cool off from
the' heat of the day and wash off the
wlust they have raised on their speeding
trips over dusty highways.
Neither dreaming or caring a mo
ment of father’s comfort. There sits
the broken hearted servant faithful
and true. Billy Rural crying for love
of those who had forgotten him. Af
ter a good cry Bill goes out to a hya
drant, bathes his face and hands and
returns to his room to read the latest
fcaper in order to forget his sorrows.
' The company leaves, son and daugh
ter return about two o’clock and all
being worn out each go to their respect
ive places for the night.
Early on the morrow Bill is up moap
ing. strolling and wearying and about
ten in the morning the family all meet
for breakfast. Dissipation on the part
of wife. son. and daughter shuts their
mouths while heartaches keeps Bill
from talking. The breakfast was very
unsatisfactory and Bill thought of a
dinner on collards and corn bread of
his more youthful days. He suggests to
?he wife that he would go to the farm
and get some collards and off he stroll
ed or moaped and after a while return
ed, but the wife flew into a rage and
told him to get right out with those
collards, that he could not cook them
in the house on account of the odor. So
out he goes and cooks them himself in
the yard whi!y wife and' daughter
flounced about in their fanev rooms
with their dainty cooking utensils pre
paring a dainty dish only fit for silly
persons to eat. while in the yard sat
Bill and his collards and corn bread.
Bill was a stout hearted man and
thought seriously over his position and
resolved that this life was ail wrong
as he and his were living and a resolu
tion was reached that back to the
f;;rm Bill goes. So lie dresses himself
as in days of boyhood, strolls into the
dainty parlor and confronts his wife,
son and daughter and tells them of the
error of their ways and asks them to
change or else he’s off for the farm
and they can have in fee simple with
all of the shams, hypoeriev and deceit
this city home. They can have their
speed devils, their swimming pools of
polution. Their card parties and club
cliques with all of their dissipation,
but Bill goes back to the farm, to free
dom. to peace, to serve his maker in
nature’s green fields away from po
lution ; to serve his maker beneath
shady trees and near running streams
that murmurs God’s mercy the live long
day.

GOODYEAR TIRE
PLANTS PASS THE
45,000,000 MARK
Nearly a Billion Pounds of Fabric and
Rubber Used in the World
Record Output.
The Tire Service Station, local Good
year distributor, always has his tire
racks well filled and lias always prided
himself on having a complete stock of
tires to meet every need of bis cus
tomers.
“It made me open my eyes though
when 1 learned from Akron that the
Goodyear factories had completed their
45,000,000 th tire and were already
speeding toward the 46,000,000 mark at
an average of 26.000 casings per day.
“And I’d thought I carried a pretty
good stock” lie said. Whew.
“Forty-five million tires! Why I’d
hate to count them, let alone mount or
deliver them. They'd weigh close to a
billion pounds, based on present day
tire-building ’ formulas that call for
11 V. pounds of rubber and 4 8-10 lbs
of fabric to the average casing.
“Forty-five million tires! Goodyear
built them in 22 years, lmt Methuselah,
working at the present factory speed
of two tires per day per man. would
have had to live 75,000 years to com
plete the job.
“How much mileage do you suppose
is packed into that tremendous output,
figuring conservatively that each tire
is good for 70(H) miles! Enough for
42.” round rips between the earth and
the sun, the dintance between these two
planets being a mere matter of some
98,000,000 miles.
“Tommy Milton traveling at his
world-record speed of 154 miles an hour
would need about 69 years for a one
way trip with no time taken out for
sleep, food and the taking on of sup
plies.
“That’s no week-end tour by several
million parasaugs.
“Staggering as such statistics are,
the most impressive thing to me about
tires is the assurance of unquestiona
ble quality that such an output gives
to the Goodyear tire buyer.
“For it is surely logical, to assume
that Goodyear has gained the fullest
sort of tire building experience in the
construction of such an unparalleled
output and that Goodyear tires are,
H/nd allways have been, dependable,
long-wearing tires or such a production
would never have been necessary to
meet the public’s demands.

Such songs often resounded in glen
and vale as:
“Shout along and sing along
And pray by the way.”
This trouble of Bill was only such a
high and frivolous life as you meet
with in any city.
Why do they do it?

IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE BUICK CARS
No single season in recent years has
seen so many improvements in Buick
cars as the present one: and never has
the Buick line been so complete.
The engine, for example, is fitted
with longer pistons and connecting
rods, adding to file smoothness and
long wear for which the Buick engine
has always been noted. Anew rear
spring suspension lias been devised
which 4s undoubtedly the highest devel
opment of the cantilever type yet
achieved . The frame, the transmis
sion. the rear axle, the brakes, the
bodies and their equipment, each shows
the hand of the skilled designer by
some new and valuable features.
The insurance companies have rat
ed all fourteen models as Class “A"
fire risks, because of the safety of their
electrical and gasoline systems and have
materially reduced the theft insurance
rates. This means a big saving in in
surance premiums over cars not so
rated. This means a big saving in in
surance premiums over cars not so
rated: it also indicates the close atten
tion to detail that has been paid to
these Buick cars for season of 1928.
As in lie case of the six-cylinder mod
els. the Buick four-cylinder cars have
been redesigned this season, not mere
ly in the sense of giving them anew
apnea ranee, hut with the object of mak
ing them better and more efficient au
tomobiles in every department of mo
toring service.
qmpse changes begin with the frame,
which lias been entirelv redesigned,
and continue through the important
mer-hanicnl units of the car. from an
easier and simpler method of oiling
Hip rr.pi.-p- arms to an improved meth
od of driving the speedometer.
Tho body is larger and roomier, with
lower lines and added grace of appear
ance. There are new and improved
fenders, ton windshield, headlights,
side curtains.
There is an improved spring suspen
sion. new upholstery, improved dash
equipment, new arrangement of seats,
longer and lower steering column, and
a number of other features that add
materially to riding and driving com
fort.
There is a transmission lock to pre
vent theft which reduces insurance
rates materially. Other Improvements
place the Buick Fours in Glass “A" ns
fire insurance risks, securing for tin
owner lower insurance rates.
These are pgrt. and only part, of the
changes that apply to all four-cylinder
models. Each model has Its own spe
cial improvements, because each lias
been redesigned ns a unit.
Winder Mobile Go. local agents for
tiie Buick. will be glad to give you in
formation regarding these new models.

One quality only—
the standard for all
Goodrich Tires
Size or price cannot modify the one
quality Goodrich standard. You can buy
any Goodrich Tire, Silvertown Cord or
the popular 30 x 3*4 clincher fabric, and
know beyond a doubt that you are getting
the same quality always. It is this quality
which has made Goodrich Tires unsur
passed for dependability and durability
in service, mileage and value.
This principle has put the real meaning
in the widely known Goodrich slogan of
“best in the long run.”
