Sold 4,500 Bushels cf Corn
Ivy C. McCrorey, who has kept his
corn back and not sold it, has just
had some 4,500 bushels shelled and
delivered the same to the Wabash ele
vator, receiving the cum of $1 per
bushel for it. This 13 considered a
very good price and affords a strik
ing comparison to the 10 to 15 cents
a bushel corn was bringing less than
two years ago. With $1 corn and the
other products selling in like propor
tion, farming should onto more prove
a paying endeavor. The only regret i
that so few have corn to sell these
days.

Near Serioui Fire
Last Saturday night, Mr. and Mrs
II. II. Gerbellng remained up until a
late hour in the hope that thei
daughter, who works in Lincoln
might come home for the week end
but after the departure of the train
went to bed, being careful of the fire
which was left burning during the
night. They did nt arise until quite
late Sunday morning and when they
opened tho living room door, they
found the room filled with smoke and
very hot, for the room was on fire. Mr
Gerbeling groped along the floor to
the place where the fire was burning,
with a pail of water zt his tide, which
he poured on the, burning floor and
extinguished the blaze. It was found
that the rug in front of the stove had
been consumed and the fire had eaten
through the double floor, being at a
point where it would have scon burst
out in uncontrolable flames, causing
probable destruction of the home. As
it was, the interior of the house was
badly damaged by the smoke. An in
surance adjuster arrived the follow
ing day and allowed the claim for
damage, which is being repaired, so
that the home will soon be in its ac
customed good condition.
As the millions of
World's Fair visitors saw
tires madeinlhe Firestone
Factory and Exhibition
Building, we asked
thousands this question:
"What do you value most
in a tire?" Car owners
from every state in the
Union were interviewed
drivers of automobiles,
trucks, busses out of it
all came one composite
answer: 'Give us Blowout
Protection, Non-Skid
Safety, and Long 'Wear,
at a moderate price."
Firestone engineers
used every conceivable re
eource in the develop
ment of a tire embodying
these qualifications and
Belling to the public at a
price within the reach of
every car owner. Answer
the new Firestone
Century Progress Tire.
COMPARE QUALITY
CONSTRUCTION PRICE
This new tire is equal
or superior to any other first quality tire,
regardless of brand name or by whom
manufactured, or at what price offered for
sale. Call on the Firestone Service Dealer or
Service Store and examine it. You will bo
sold on the rugged quality and will want to
equip your car with these new tires.
REMEMBER you save money buving
today, as rubber has advanced 442 "and
cotton 190, and tire prices cannot remain
at mcec low levels.
