Baton Rouge, June 22. — An apparently well-founded rumor is in circulation here this week end that Senator E. B. Robinson of Union Parish, one of the two representatives in the upper body from the district composed of Union, Morehouse, Lincoln and West Carroll is to be given a fat jab in the highway department by Governor Long. This gossip coming right upon the heels of rumors of the impending resignation of Chairman O. K. Allen of the highway commission and the selection of Senator R. B. Knott, from the some district as Mr. Robinson as highway chief proved very interesting.

Have Your Tires Inspected
“The best way to get the maximum mileage from your tires is to have them inspected frequently and at regular intervals, and the present season is an excellent time to have this done.” C. E. Miller Service Station No. 1 Goodyear tire dealer in Bernice. “It is the old case of an ounce of prevention and a pound of cure,” he declared. “Times that have been driven during the winter months, have usually received little attention because they have not given trouble. Moreover because motorists generally are more concerned about the mechanical parts of their cars there is the possibility of slight injury to tires and if such is the possibility of slight injury to tires and if such is the case a little immediate attention may prevent a great deal of trouble later. Minor troubles may have developed in tires and yet not be apparent to the owner of a car. Sometimes a nail or a piece of metal has worked into the tread and shortly will get through to the tube and cause a puncture. Sometimes it is a misalignment or wheels, so that the tire isn’t running true and is rapidly wearing down the tread.. Often times it merely is a matter of wrong inflation, either too much air or not enough, both of which are sure enemies to long mileage. “Inspection of tires can be taken cars of quickly and easily and should be done regularly if the owner wants maximum millage. “Our force is glad to make this without charge for customers. Many of them have found that it has saved them a considerable amount of money in the course of a year to check for trouble and catch it before it has become serious.
The Fourth ‘O July
So much has been said and written of that memorable day upon which our forefathers sighed the Declaration of Independence that it is difficult to write without entering a field which has repeatedly been covered, yet one cannot be reminded too often the valuable lesson contained in the struggle of that little band of patriots to establish a republic in which their descendants could live secure and obtain the most from life. The ideals embodied in that famous document have served us an inspiration a standard by which this county has attained its present heights. In the fight for independence that followed shortly after the signing of that document the colonists were victorious for their cause was just and founded upon right motives. In the decades that have followed, the growth of the United States from a few colonies dependent upon the English Crown, to one of the worlds most prosperous and powerful nations has been practicality uninterrupted and today ships flying the Stars and Stripes carry American products to every port, and prosperous conditions are noted at every hand. Let each American be inspired with genuine patriotism, not the patriotism that flares only during the time of national danger from an outside enemy, but patriotism that steadily burns through all time; hold sacred the ideals set forth in that immortal document, the Declaration of Independence, signed by our forefathers on July 4, 1776, let its tenets ever be the standard by which one’s efforts are guided and strive to retain unblemished the flag which was born during the struggle for freedom, that it may ever represent democracy, liberty and justice.
