See hbw |jt spreads the Goodrich interlocking safety bars beyond the ball of the tire, and lays extra tread rubber along the sidewall. N6tice further, how jhe extra wide tread carries On up the sides of ihc tire, extending beneath the sidestrips. Thus ail extra thickness of tough tread rubber fortifies Goodrich Tires at the Heel of Achilles. Remember,' that is one of the many reasons why Goodrich Tires lead in mileage over all roads, rough or smooth.

Brown The followiiip letter .^as received by Mrs. J. E. Hauswirth from her brother, Sergt. Robt. N. Brow®, who is on duty at the U. S. A. base hospital, No. 216, in France: - April 80, 1919. Dear Folks--Am sitting here in Miss Rinpwalt's office at the dear old Red Cross and as there <»s nothing much doing right now thought I'd make the most of. «il opportunity and dash off the news.' There isn't very much to write about that is really news. We are still at the daily grind of sending a bunch of "gold brickers" back to the states and it really seems an.endless job. "We nad the center here cleaned out when in comes three trains of "supposed-to-be sick ones" and now the darn center is again full of patients. It's a gay life if you don't weaken. The 6nly thing that makes things seem more satisfying is the fact that spring has really hit this section of France and these quaint country roads are sure attractive and pretty. Oh,, yes, there is . some news at that. I believe in my last letter I mentioned a Miss Brigham (one of our civilian employes) had been severely wounded at Belleau woods by an explosing dudi Well, we have since heard the details of the accident and I am quite proud to have bedn a friend of hers. Miss Brigham and two marines, who had been in the fighting at Belleau, were climbing the famous hill 204 when one of the marines spotted a German dud and immediately remarked that it wopld be a peachy souvenir.. Miss Brigham backed away while the two fellows proceeded to make an attempt to unload said dud. The next thing Miss Brigham knew was a horrible explosion, which spun her around a couple of times and- knocked her flat. When she finally "came to" sl\p heard terrible moaning and pulling herself together she made her way over to one of the boys, who had one leg blown off and an eye out and was covered with blood. The other chap was blown to bits. As you all have never seen hill 204 you can't imagine what a desolate place it is. There was no help near, so Miss Brigham picked the chap up and carried him down to the road and there tried to bathe his bleeding face as best she could. A chap coming down the road found them there. Misa- Brigham, covered with blood herself, trying to care for the wounded marine. They were both piled into an ambulance and taken to a French hospital, where it was found that Miss Brigham had a wound in the chest (a note book in the front pocket of her suit probably saved her life), severe wounds in both thighs, wounds in her arms and her face cut by bits of shrapnel. Can you imagine her doing the things she did when in that condi tion? The last report said that she was doing nicely and was practically out of danger. The A. P. M. said that he would recommend her for a D. S. C. and I sincerely hope that it will go thru, because I'm sure she deserves it. , I have not as ye$ received the music, but I expect it will come blowing along one of these fine days. Am expecting a big mail tomorrow-. Must close now. Keep the folks informed about me because I have written none of them in a dog's age because of lack of time. Love, Newt. 'Slim" Peterson, a singer of considerable note, has been engaged to sing at all the band concerts at Woodstock during the coming summer. C. A. Lemmers, former editor of the Woodstock Republican, was re cently appointed confidential secretary of Governor Oliver H. Shoup of Cr lorado. * A carnival company, which was to have exhibited at the county seat, furnished a real hot time for that city last week. It seems that the advance agent for ithe show had come to Woodstock, wljere he had about completed arrangements for the appearance of the company, when some of the people of that city took exceptions to their coming and especially as exhibiting for the benefit of Woodstock's own company of returning soldiers. It took some lively action on the part of those who opposed the carnival coming, but evidently they gained their point, as the company will not visit Woodstock at this time.

He was aged about six months. The school election on Saturday last to elect a president and three members of the board of education, proved one of the most interesting" and drew out the largest vote ever polled at a chool election in this district. There was no contest only on the member to be elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs. Fitzsimmons. For this Mrs. Geo. G. mith and Albert L. Howe were conestants, Mrs. Smith being elected by a vote of 183 to 56. About 80 ladies took advantage of their right to vote and the consequence was 235 votes were polled, as we said before, the argest ever polled in the district.
