are seriously and pleasantly discussed,
her the various members of the family
meet at least once. - and often several
times each day. so that It Is appropriate
that the planning of thai room should be
given serious consideration.
Whether the dining room should be con
nected with the living room or with the
reception hs'l by large columned open
ings or plan-icU with more seclusion Is
a matter of personal taste. The average
home builder will require sliding doors
between the dining room and the living
room, but it 1 the writer a observation,
that they are seldom used.
Human nature Is very much the same
the world over, and. speaking frankly,
the writer knows of no pleassnter sight
than a dining room newly set, or being
set with Its cut glass, dainty china ware,
celery tops, etc., when he Is hungry,
but pisnnlng a home Is Just like picking
out a wife, xach man to Jits own taste,
The dimensions of a dining room should
be longer one way than the other, to
permit extension of th table. A good
sis dining room for the average family !
of from four to six persons Is thirteen
feet by fifteen feet. It can of course be
much larger if preferred, when the site!
of the house will permit The minimum,
six should be eleven feet by eleven feet.
and this means clear space without buffet
or sideboard projecting Into It, as as to!
allow the setting of th table and leave
proper passage behind the chairs at meal ,
time. A bay window on the side of the 1
dining room greatly Increases Its rise
without Increasing the six of th build
ing. Is a plea&ant feature within, fre
quently adds to the beauty without, gives
a wider range of view to the dining
room, admits sunshine and air In abun
dance, and ta a splendid place to hare a
few choice plants and the canary bird,
which always give a homelike atraos
pher to a dining room, ,
The moat prominent feature of the av
erage dining room, aside from th table,
is th sideboard.. Hometime It s too
prominent Sideboard. Ilk some fire
places, are so loaded down with useless
bric-a-brac and ornament that they de
tract from what might otherwise be a
pleasant room. A sideboard, strictly
speaking, should be a 'Simple ornament

men's Delivery company now own tho
entire half block of ground, on a part

County Board and
Contractors in Mix
The Board of County Commlnsloners
yesterday refused to allow a claim of
Caldwell Drake, general contractor
on the new building, for S9.0W for work
done during February. The board cut
the estimate down to S5.S for the reason
that a month ago It overpaid the general
contractor nearly S3. 000 through a clerical
error.
Superintendent Zelgler tor Caldwell
Drake, refused to accept th reduction on
the ground that any settlement for over
payment should be postponed until the
work Is don. Th mater was laid over a
week to give the boaid and the general
contractor time to try to agree.

No-Rim-Cut Tires
10 Oversize
Again a Trebled Demand
Men who know, used last year 409,521 Goodyear
tires. That's more than were used in the previous
12 years put together.
This year's demand is three times last year's so
far. That shows the result of experience.
No other tire compares in sales with the Good
year No-Rim-Cut tire.
Are all these users mistaken? Or, are you mis
taken when you choose another tire?
127 Makers Adopt Them
Motor car makers know most
about tires. And 137 leading
makers this year have contract
ed for Goodyear tires. That's
twice as many as last year.
That is the simple result of
experience. Over 900,000 of these
tires have now been tested out.
They have proved their claim
to cut tire bills in two proved
it a hundred thousand times.
No Extra Cost
These patented tires used to
cost one-fifth more than other
standard tires. That's true no
longer. They cost but an equal
price.
Tires that can't rim-cut cost
the same as tires that do. Tires
10 per cent oversize cost the
same as tires just rated size.
Avoidance of rim-cutting, at
proved by statistics, saves 23 per
cent
Ten per cent oversize, under
average conditions, adds 25 per
cent to the tire mileage.
So these two features together
can be safely relied on to cut
tire bills in two.
We Control It
We control by patents the
only practical way to make the
hookless tire the tire that can't
rim-cut
When you come to this type
as you are bound to do don't
accept any experiments, any
makeshift devices.
Get the coming tire the
proved-out tire the Goodyear
No-Rim-Cut tire.

Mitchell cars today will go as fast and as far and ride as comfortably as cars that
cost three times as much; they are beautiful in appearance and are built for the man
who can t afford, to make a mistake.
Make a list of the things you want ih a car, and see if you don't find all of them
in the Mitchell cars. Two sizes in the flexible six cylinder; two splendid four cylinder
models, and a handy and reliable two passenger runabout; each one ideal in ita par
