Suffering of the Armenians are to be alleviated by the people of Ameri cus. Contribution boxes for this pur pose have been placed throughout the city, mainly in the drug stores. In these boxes you are asked to place your contributions, which will go to lighten the hardships and sufferings of these unfortunate and war-cursed people. Through the military operations in Armenia the people have been made to suffer untold misery and want. The people of the United States never fail to feel for those who are made to suffer and especially when they are the result of outrages perpe trated upon an inoffensive people, as is the case with Armenia. Therefore, whatever amount the people of Americus give to aid these i unfortunate people will be in a noble cause, and it is hoped everyone will ■ be as liberal as possible. I Funds received in this way will be I handled by responsible parties and forwarded to the Armenian Relief headquarters in New York, and thence itiansmitted to the needy sufferers in Armenia. The Times-Recorder commends the good people of Americus in this labor of love for humanity and trusts that the responise to this appeal at their hands will be most liberal.

So many Motorists had carelessly stated that “all Tire Tubes are just Rubber.” He determined to show some folks the difference, in a way they would never forget. There were four Cars at the door, and their Owners or Drivers at his elbow. To these he said, — “Boys,—how strong do you think this Goodrich Brown Tube actually is? “Do you believe it is strong enough to tow Mr. Oden’s five passenger Car, with four people in it for 2C blocks? “You don't, eh! “Well now here’s a bit of a Bet I want to make with any, or all, of you. “I will bet you a Dinner that this little old regu lar Goodrich Tube (34x4) will not only tow Mr. Oden’s Car, but will tow all three of your Cars, — fully passengered,—through the streets, for the full 21 blocks (more than a mile and a half) —starting and stopping as many times as the crowd makes it necessary. “I will, —if you Gentlemen are agreeable,—line up all four of your Cars, right here and now, take three regular Goodrich Tubes hap-hazard out of their boxes, —tie one tube between each two Cars, (which means hauling three Cars on the first Tube) and tote You all that way to “The Comers.” “Are you willing to bet a Dinner that any one of the three Tubes will ‘go broke’ on the way, or show a flaw which would leak Air, or prevent its being.used for its original Tire purpose afterwards? “You are, eh? “Well, —the Bet’s on! “Come along, and you be the Judges.” ' Dinner was a very Cheerful Affair. As Oden said afterwards (when put ting up his share of the Bet) “you could have bet me a Million onj that, Parr, and I’d have taken you up,—even if I had to borrow the Million. “I don’t see how the blamed Tubes ever did hold out, —especially going up Saco St under such a strain. “With eight people in the last three Cars, —and a total load of over 8,800 pounds I sure thought to hear something snap before Second Block. “Whaddye put into that brown Goodrich Rubber anyhow, to make it hang together like that?” Fritz said that what puzzled him most was the brown Rubber Tubes “not being all stretched out of GOODRICH Ls IMNER-TUBES Tires liams’ charming hospitality: Messrs. ; Heyward Bridges, Russell Bridges, Morris Hill, Earl Carter, Willis Hogg, Henry Smith Munroe, Nolan Strange, Clarke Williamson, Leon Carter, Ar thur Baugh.
