Do something yourself. i
And will Mexico never end?
Cheer up and stay cheered. ;
Time, tide and war wait for no man. -
Alas! Peace to the ashes of peace.
Now altogether! Hurrah for Fitzgerald!
Health, wealth and cussedness are modern triplets.
Here's wasting a passing thought on dear old Mexice.
Even one fleeting smile is worth a whole year of grouch.
Fact brother, experience is a ood teacher—when it teaches.
Baseball and shaggy hair will be ambling along most any day.
But, then, preparedness might even be extended to the commer
cial welfare of Fitzgerald.
Bullets, like joy riders, never stop to take stock of the damage
they inflict. A
The wise man, you know, is among men, but the fool is just
only a fool.
Yep! We are a confirmed advocate for preparedness—ifor the
Sunday dinner.
Soon, however, the poor dove of peace will have no place even
to call its roost. : i
The optimist breeds golden opportunities. The pessimist is the
father of misery.
But the pessimist, you know, sees an opportunity after the opti
mist has grasped it.
ALCOHOL AND PNEUMONIA.
The United States Public Health Seryice brands sprong drink
as the most efficient ally of pneumonia. It declares that alcohol
is the handmaiden of diseage which produces ten per cent of the
deaths in the United States. This is no exaggeration. We have
known for a long time that indulgence in alcoholic liguors lowers
the individual vitality, and that the man who drinks is peculiarly sus
ceptible to pneumonia. The United States Public Health Service is
a conservative body. It does not engage in alarmist propaganda.
In following out the line of its official duties it has brought force
fully to the general public a fact which will bear endless repetition.
The liberal and continuous user of alcoholic drinks will do well to
heed this warning, particularly at this season of the year when the
gruesome death toll from pneumonia is being doubled.

Columbus, N. M. March 20—A large
body of American cavalry left here
today. The troops brought here from
Texag border points were preceeded
by a motor supply train. Whether
the detchment will serve as a sepa

the punitive edpeditios now in the
field under Gen. Pershing, was not in

Accompanying the troops were a

PFEXEL3 is o teil the Poople, that Geedrich ““BARE
fi FOOL-RUEBER” Vulue lies not in its COLOR
L but in its coniposition,
It lics in the cspeciaily devized Texture, Flexibility,
Cling-quality, Stretel, Lightnoss and Resilience of that
‘‘Barefoot Rubber’’ which, through years of Research,
WE developed to ratch the marvellous Flexibility, Re
gilience and Power-conservaticn of cur two-layer-Cord
““Silvertown’’ Tires. :
~ Color alone would have been little help in making
“‘Silvertown’’ Treads stand-up in the tremendous EN
DURANCE Tests which the 100-Mile-per-hour-Races of
1215 provided.
And Color 2lone,—Black, White, Red, or Gray—can do
little for the Consumer who buys a *‘Me-too’’ Black-Tread.
Tire, of imitated make, on the assumption that all Black-
Tread Tires are likely to be made of same materials.-
o o ®
HE marvellous ‘‘ Barefoot Rubber’’ now used
in Goodrich FABRIC Tires (as well as in Good
rich ‘‘Silvertowns’’) is black only because we
elected that color, primarily for distinetion and association
with our SILVERTOWN CORD Tires.
When, therefore, the usual crop of ‘‘flattering >’ Imi
tations sprouts upon the Market DON’T assume that
OTHER Black-Tread Tires have in them the ‘‘ BARE
FOOT-RUBBER”’ which made the enormous: ENDUR
ANCE of Silvertown Cord Tires possible ,in the Q 0 to
103 Mile-ner-hour Races of 1914-15.
No Tires on the Market, Size for Size, and Type for
Type, are LARGER than Goodrich, and none morc gen
erously good, at any vrice.
‘“‘Barefoot Rubber’’ is now made into Goodrich
FABRIC Tires,—Goodrich ‘‘Silvertown Tires, ’—Goodrich
Inner Tubes, Goodrich Truck Tires, Goedrich Motor
Cycle Tires,— Goodrich Bicyecle Tires,—and Goodrich
Rubber Boots, Overshoes, Soles and Heels.
Get a sliver of it from your nearest Goodrich Dealer
or Branch.
Note (by comparison), the reasonably-low Fair-List
prices at which these best-possible Fabric Tires are being
sold, on a BUSINESS basis.
