portant than some ef the destructive
agencies which are new receiving much
Attention. The congress Is te emphasise

The second day ef the congress Is te he

large number of committees will be at

federal departments. The committees are

For example, the committee on forests
and their oonservattpn Is to be oomposed
of the chief forester of the United Stales.
the forester of each state and a number
of other persons, actively engaged In
milling and the distribution of forest
products. The committees en soli, cotton,

formed similarly. Nebraska Is to receive
a number of places on the committees.

Nebraska reels. This company has

With the state tournament a short
three weeks off. basket ball fans of
Omaha and the slate are gathering a
pretty good Idee of how the tournament
will progress, what teams will lesd In
the race for the championship and even
to the extreme of predicting what teams
will probably enter the serol-flnals In the
lest lap of the big fight for the state
title. bees than twenty-five veterans of
the stste tourney Isat year remain as the
cardinal mainstays of the twelve leading
quintets of the state.
A number of youthful stars along with
eldtlme veterans of past fame will play
In the tourney lending the fight an ad
vance attraction that will probably
eause many of the real fans of the state
to pack their gripe and journey to the
capital city at least for the Isat two
rounds of the fray. "Turk" Logan of
Omaha, Alhrecht of Lincoln, Nixon of
South Omaha. Ashton of Geneva, the
three Frundell brothers of Crete, and
Captain Conway of York are a few ef
the whirlwind toasers who will probably
excite more than ordinary Interest.
The twelve teams of the state that
seem to lead above alt others to date are:
Central and fkmth High schools, Omaha;
Uncoln, Heatrice, Crete, Hastings. Oe-
neva. Central City, Columbus, York
Gothenburg and Fremont.

All black-tread Tires are NOT made
of "BAREFOOT" Rubber
THIS message is written in the Spirit of Prophesy.
A few months ago there were r- black-tread Tires
on the Market except Silvertown Cord Tires, which
we alone manufacture, under exclusive patents.
On January 1st there were no black-tread Tires on the market
EXCEPT these same Silvertown Cord Tires, (which we are not yet
equipped to produce in half the quantity the market calls for) and,
' -Goodrich FABRIC Tires, made from the self-same "Bare
foot Rubber" a3 we have been putting; into the Treads of Goodrich
Silvertowns.
But, Soon there will be not only a horde of "Near-Cord,"
Thread-Fabric "Cord," and other IMITATION "Cord" Tires, but
there will also be the customary crop of "Black-Tread" FABRIC
Tire Imitations.
THESE black-tread IMITATIONS will resemble Goodrich
"Barefoot" (Fabric) Tires as mperficially and remotely
as the Five-to-Seven layer Thread-Fabric "Cord" imita
tions resemble the Two-layer real Cord "Silvertowns."
They will resemble them exteriorly just enough to trada upon
the Market created by the merit of the Originals.
While Imitation is said to be "the sincerest flattery" we have
had such a surfeit of that kind of flattery that we want to dis
courage it.
And this Is totell the People, before our Black-Tread "flatterers'
put their "me-too-Black-Treads" on the Market, that the essence of
Goodrich "BAREFOOT-RUBBER" Value to Consumers lies not in
the COLOR but in its composition. '
It lies in the especially devised Texture, Flexibility, Cling-
quality. Stretch, Lightness and Resilience of that "Barefoot Rubber" '
alloy which, through years of Research, WE developed to inatcft
the marvellous Flexibility, Resilience and Power-conservation of our
Two4ayer-Cord "Silvertown" Tires. .
Without that Silvertown EXPERIENCE we might never hava
known, or fully understood, the enormous advantage of euch a
, Clingy, Stretchy, Light-weight, anC Responsive RUBBER la ail Tires.
elLOR alone would have been little help to ns in making
Silvertown Rubber Treads stand-up in the tremendous
ENDURANCE Tests which the 100-Mile-per-hour-Racea
of 1915 provided.
And color alone, -Black, White. Red, or Gray1 can do little for
the Consumer who buys a "Me-too" Black-Tread Tire, of imitated
make, on the assumption that all Black-Tread Tires must be made of
similar materials.
The marvellous "Barefoot Rubber" now used In Goodrich
FABRIC Tires (as well as in Goodrich "SUvertoums") is black only
because we elected that color, primarily for distinction and association
with our SILVERTOWN CORD Tires.
That COLOR has nothing whatever to do with the surprising
Stretch, Cling -quality, Light-weight, and MILEAGE of the
"Barefoot-Rubber" alloy.
When, therefore, the usual crop of "flattering" Imitations
sprouts upon the Market DON'T assume that OTHER Black-Tread
Tires have in them the "BAREFOOT-RUBBER" which made the
enormous ENDURANCE of Silvertown Cord Tirea possible in the 90
to 103 Mile-per-Hour Races of 1914-15.

OODRICH FABRIC Tires for 1916. with all the added
Value that Barefoot Rubber" gives to them, will be sold
on the same "FAIR-LIST" price basis, as we established
in January, 1915, through our propaganda against Padded Price-Lists.
No Tires on the Market, Size for Size, and Type for Type, are
LARGER and none more generously good, at any price.
. "Barefoot Rubber" is nowtnade into Goodrich FABRIC Tires,
Goodrich "Silvertown Tires," Goodric h Inner Tubes, Goodrich

and Goodrich Rubber Boots, Overshoes, Soles and Heels. v
