will be put down with a binder
so as to make motor travel safe

TIDE IITU
Kansas City, June 12.—A
simple one hundred and seven
words statement by Secretary
Mellon today turned the con-
vention tide toward Herbert
Hoover.
This quiet-mannered finan-
cial genius at the bead of the
treasury of the United States
came to Kansas City with the
power as leader of tb# Penn-
er lunged speaker so that no
one in the room could mistake
Its meaning. It was then read
again and the crowd applaud-
ed some more.
They’re Catching Big Tins
hi the River These Days
“Uncle Rob" Weaver, ex-
pert and professional fisher-
man who lives at the Angelina
River on the Lufkin-Doches
highway, caught a big catfish
last Saturday night which tip-
ped the scales at 90 pounds.
A 15-pound eat also was

break his cabinet colleague.
He chose to make him by
suggesting to his Pennsylvan-
ians that they throw their 79
votes to the commerce secre-
tary right on the first ballot
with the view to putting him
over with a bang.
With a roar of applanse
they agreed to stand to a man
behind their chief. Before the
applause died away, newspa-
permen had stampeded to the
doors to flash to the foarj
corners of the earth this deci-
sive action.
Standing behind a small
table in front of his delegates
and flanked by senator-elect
Vare and Governor Fisher, of
Pennsylvania, Mr. Mellon in
low tones began to read his
statement
Cries of “louder” from the
delegates caused the secretary
to clear his throat and raise his
voice. He told his delegates
that since it has become
“dear” that President Cool-
idge could not be “induced” to
run it seems wise to look for
that nominee who can best car-
ry forward the Coolidge poli-
cies which have received the
wholehearted approval of the
American people.”
“Mr. Hoover, among all the
candidates,” he continued,
“seems to measure up to the
high standards we have set
My suggestion to my colleagues
in' the delegation is that we
vote for him on the first bat
lot”
“Hurrah, Hurrah,” the dele-
gates shouted amid the clap-
ping of hands and stamping of
feet.
One delegate asked that the
statement be read by a strong-
week end, the big fish being
purchased and displayed by J.
Fred Feazell at the City
Bakery k Cafe. At 15c a
pound, the fisherman got $6.75
for the cat—Redbud Herald,

There’s a big difference in tires, although they tS look
pretty much alike.
Some are made with skimpy, short staple cotton. Some
have an overdose of “filler" in the rubber of the tread.
Some are long on looks and short on quality.
But you won’t need a microscope to be sure that the
Goodyear Tire you get from us is a real buy. Goodyear
mileages tell the story of “The World’s Greatest Tire.”
Goodyears are performing so satisfactorily for our cus-
tomers that they invariably come back—not with a kick
but with a boost, and for another Goodyear when they
need tire equipment.
We have your size—in fresh, new stocks—at low prices.
