Racine Absorbing Shock Strip means more tire mileage for Racine Multi
Mile Cord users.. It means bifcer returns for every dollar invested.
The Racine Absorbing Shock Strip is an extra strip of rubber scientifically
compounded to equalize the flex of body and tread. It distributes the force of
road blows evenly through every part of the tread. It takes up shocks of the .
' road and eliminates danger of tread and carcass separation.
' Study the illustration. Note how the cord construction is protected by this
exclusive development of Racine Rubber Company chemists.
The Racine Multi-Mile
Cord non-skid design, is
scientifically constructed to
overcome skidding danger.
Oa slippery, treacherous
pavements, the bevelled
edges hold your wheels
true to their course.

Professor O'Brien Says News
paper Business of Iowa and
Nebraska in Bad Condition;
Do Work Below'Cost.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Feb. 22. The Nebraska
editors devoted their entire session
Saturday morning to discussion of
problems affecting the newspaper
business.
Prof. Harry B. O'Brien of the
Iowa State college at Ames, occu
pied more than an hour in his talk
on "A Business Survey of the
Country Newspapers in Iowa and
Nebraska." tie said lie nad re
cently gone over 126 questionnaires
relative to me pruning uusmcss in
the Hawkeye state and found the
situation bad.
"I have found that one-half and
maybe one-third of the papers in
both Nebraska and Iowa are doinir
work at more than cost and many of
them less. They are losing money
or grafting if they, are making
money.
"Legal work is being done in Iowa
at much below legal rates and I
find the situation the same in Ne
braska, if not worse.
"I am of the opinion that the re
cent upward tendencies in subscrip.
tion rates will be lasting and that
subscription prices will never go
back to where thev once were."
In resolutions adopted the asso
ciation recommended the introduc
tion of an appropriation bill in the
legislature for the continuaton of
the Nebraska publicity bureau with
a biennial appropriation of at least
$50,000.
The editors have decided to con
duct an excursion of newspaper men
to western Nebraska some time dur
ing the latter part of the summer.
Extra Tested
All the many Racina Extra
Tests are applied to Racine Multi
Mile Cord Tires. Every bolt of
cord fabric every ounce of rub
ber and every step in construction
receive the extra inspection and
extra care which make Racine
Multi-Mile Cord Tires better tires.

Bad Roads Bring Bearish
Tendency on
O:
Increased Foreign Demand
Also Factor in Upward
Turn; Stored Supply De
creasesDuringWeek. From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Feb. 22. "Bearish senti
ment predominated today in the
local booze market and resulted in
aggressive selling at intervals. St.
Joseph options were plentifujly of
fered and prices somewhat declined
in the early period, but recovered
later. Cash prices at the close were
generally stronger than at the be
ginning of the session.
"This rally was due to the feeline
that national prohibition will re
duce the available supplies in the
very near future. Increased foreign
demand, as indicated in reports
from London, was also a factor.
iMuddy roads between st. Joseph
and Omaha interfered materially
with receipts. Bootleggers look for
lower prices as soon as the mud
dries up."
Ihese are a few sample para
graphs from the "Bootleg Daily
Market Journal, which has been
circulated lately around the 'capitol
building. The authorship of this pa
per is anonymous, lhe humorist
