People's ideas are changing, too. They're beginning to figure out how much it is costing them to keep a car. And the man who is doing /the greatest amount of figuring is the man with the moderateprice cat. n There still seems to be a notion in some quarters that any tire is good enough for a small car. That's not what the man 1who owns it thinks. In recommending and selling U. S. Tires we are trying to see his side of the propo- \ sition--finding out what he wants in a tire and giving him that. in Large or small, U. S. if ires are built to only one stand* ard of quality--the standard that produced the first straight side automobile tire, the first pneumatic truck tire. Every tire that bears the name "U. S." is built the best way its makers know how. It isn't the car, but the man who owns the car, that counts with the oldest and largest rubber concern in the world. IV As representatives of U. S. Tires in this town, we offer you the benefit of our experience and advice in settling your tire problcnfc* Setmci your itna according to the road* th»y have to traval: In sandy or hilly country, wherever the going is apt to be heavy--The , U.

The largest bass caught in Fox lake this season was hooked by C. R. Huber of the Lakeside hotel on Wednesday of last week.^ It weighed 6% pounds. The store of J. W. Cristy & Son of Ringwood presents attractions seldom found in a country store, which must account for their constantly increasing trade.

E. parsonage on Tuesday to partake of an excellent supper and ice cream prepared by the Ladies' Aid society of that church. A pleasant feature of the evening was the presentation of a token of appreciation and esteem to Mrs. Mary Wentworth Lamphere from her friends of the church and Sunday school, in which she is a valued worker. The pastor. Rev. Joseph Caldwell, made the address. Hugh Smith, who works for John Gracy, met with quite a serious accident one day last week. He was fixing a hay carrier, under the roof of the barn, when the whole thing gave way, percipitating him, fork and all, to the floor below, breaking his right arm between the wrist and elbow, badly lacerating his right hand ami bruising his side and back quite severely. Mr. Gracy took him into his buggy and brought him to this village, where Dr. Fegers set the broken bone, dressed his other wounds and made him as comfortable as he could be made under the circumstances.

Telephone or write at once. ^ H. T. COONEY Agent McHenry County' WOODSTOCK. ILL.* The telephone number of a big business v house is 7000. A residence subscriber whose number was 6000 requested us to change his number. He complained . that he .was called a score of times a day by fjeople wanting the business house. The explanation is that many people guessed at the number, and guessed wrong, asking the operator for 6000 instead of 7000. '||| is easy to be wrong when you guess, and unfortunately the person called in error generally blames the service. Next to guessing as a fruitful source of unsatisfactory telephone service is placing of undue faith in the correctness of the number on an old card, letterhead or list tacked to ..the wall. Use instead the Ready Reference ftegister on the inside front cover of the y§irectory. But better still, in a big telephone system where numbers are constantly changing, one ' Should always make sure of the correct preix and number by consulting the telephone directory before calling. It Is the quickest and surest .way to get the light number. CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMP #0 "4 I AN3T
