THE U . S. NOBBY T R E A D

Whoro the goin., is specially hoavy with snow, mud or sand, jn hilly countty whore maximum traction on the road is o factor, no other tiro tread yet devised is quite so effective, or so wholly approved by motoring opin­ion, as tho U, S, Nobby Treed,

Its Vfry simplicity—three rows ot diagonal knobs, gripping the road^ is the result of all the years of U .S . Rubber experience with every type of toad tho world over.

STOP and talk to the next man you see •with U. S. Tires on

his car. Ask him •why.

Most likely you'll hear an inter­esting story about his tire experi­ments— before the answer was found. Money •wasted. Promises unkept. Trouble on-the road^hu-morous to every one except' the

;'man who went through it. '

Finally U. S. Tires. And C S. Tires ever since.

Perhaps it's the experience of TJ. S. Tire buyers that makes them more em­phatic in their preference than ever this vear.

When these men have tried most

everything by the way of "staggering bargains", "hurrah discounts", "discon­tinued lines at Jess" and so forth they know tvhat not to get.

They want a fresh, live tire. With a good reputation. That's everything it says it is. With the people behind it who back it up.

There are 92 U. S. Factory Branches. Your local U. S. Dealer is drawing

upon them continually to keep his stocks sized up, complete—to give you servics.

Whenever he gets one or a hundred tires from a U. S. Factory Branch, they are netv^ly made this season's tires.

Sold to you at a net price. Full vsilues. Square-dealing. A reputable maker. A reputable dealer. The whole transaction as befits the leadership of the oldest and largest rubber organization in the world.

Why, just buy Camels and look at the package! I t ' s the best packing science has devised to keep cigarettes frech and :(ull flavored for yoiir taste. Heavy paper outside—secure fo/1 wrapping inside and the revenue stamp over the.end to seal the pack­age and keep it air-tight.

And note this! There's nothing flashy about the Camel package. No extra 'wrappings that do not improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense that must come out of the quality itf the tobacco.

Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on merit alone. . ^

Because, men smoke Camels who want the taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly blended. Men smoke Camels for Camels smooth, refreshing mildness and their freedom from ciga­retty aftertaste. "

Camels are made for men who think for them­selves.

THE true measure of worth in the NEW LiGHT-SiX is to be found in the enormous

demand that has existed for this car even in the so-called period of depression. For during the first six months of 1921, Stude­baker produced and sold more automobiles than any other manufacturer in the country with the exception of one manufacturer of a well known and very low-priced car.

Prices ReduGed August 1st, Harley-Davidson 1922 rock bottom motor­

cycle and sidecar prices became effective.

No hal fway reductions have been made, but substantial cuts to the very lowest prices possible.

Only the prices of Harley-Davidson motorcycles and side­cars have been reduced. The characteristic high quality which has distinguished Harley-Davidson as the "World's Best" remains unchanged.

At these low prices, unequalled motorcycle and sidecar values are offered and Harley-Davidson leadership is more emphatically apparent than ever.

ERADICATIOSr' OF WITCH GRASS One of the most persistent enemies

of the home garden is witch grass or quack grass. This seed propagates by means of root stalks as well as bv seed.

Tho tirst principles that are recog­nized in attempting Its eradication, are to preveijty^he plants from matur­ing seed and starve out the under­ground rot stalks by preventing them from sending up any stems or leaves above the surface. This purpose can only be accomplished by means ot thorough and frequent cultivation. Occasional stirring of the soil only serves to stimulate and spread the grow-th ot the witch grass.

To kill the root stalks, as many ot the roots as posslblo should bo ex-po.sod to the sunlight by turning the ground over with a shovel or hoavj-hoe. A thoroush job of cultivating .-should follow this process just as often as green shoots begin to appear above thc surface ot the ground. This .-should be continued until long after the garden crops are harvested, tn order to discourage the plants trom getting a. start late in the fall.

.Next spring, oven before plowing, it is important to continue tho sur­face cultivation to stop the green shoots from appearing above the ground. This should be followed by very deep plow-ing and a continuation ot thc frequent cultivation. Witch grass -makes vigorous growth in late fall and early spring and it is the _surt.ace cultivation which Is carried on after the harvest and betoro the planting that docs more than any­thing else to prevent its getting a start the second year,: '

It is also important to wfitch quack gr.asj. which may bo growirrg hoar tho edge ot the garden. This should be prevented from developing seeds to tho point where they will germinate so that it should be cut frequcntry. This statement applies not only to w-ltch gross but nlso to every other garden weed w-hich sometimes flour­ishes alonp the odgo.s of the garden. They .should he cul oft several times during the season before they go to seed, in order to prevent spreading into the garden to grow next year.

CONTROL Ol' PLANT LKl-: .Nearly all plants of the garden mav­

be attacked by some .species of nphlds or plant lice. They arc usually so small and fecrt in such protected placos that their presence is unknown until they b.ave done considerable jlaniago. Tbey feed by sucking tbe plant juices trom stems or leaves hy means of a jointed beak which pene­trates the surface and pierces the coll beneath. .These lice rcTiroduco Ihem-pclves very rapidly, having from ten lo fifteen generations during Ihe soason.

Becanse of their niethod of feeding thoy eannol be controlled by stomaeh poisobs. Spraying must be done which will kill them by contact. Aa lice almost nlways feed on Iho under­side of the leaves, spraying must be directed toward that surface Only those lice which nre actually hit by tho spray will be killed.

Nicotine sulphate forty percent, which Is frequently sold under thc trade name of "RIack t.en.t 40," is the most satisfactory spray for destroying aphids. This should be used at the I'aitc ot two tcaspnonfuls to one gallon

vOf water. In order to mnke this spray stick -ivoirto the foliage It Is a good plan to dissolve one ounce of laundry .soap In a Utile warm water nnd add 'It to the soluiion. This spray may safely be used In combination with other spray.s. snch as bordeaux mix­ture .and arsenate of lead. In such cases soap should not be-used. Whale or flsh.oil soaps are very eftectlve In destroying plant lice, ualng one-halt pound to three gallons ot water.

All weeds In the garden should bc destroyed Jn order that thoy mny not offer bi-bctllng places for the aphids. Certain kinds of weeds are known, to be .food planU for mnny species ot plant .lice.

QUEER DOtNQS IN QERMANV. Tliere la a curious campaign going

on In'Germap}. It appears that a Union -of Friends of Calcium haa been formed, the extrnorUlnary object of which la to aee tlmt the Qerman is compelled to use more Ume In his dietary. The .dcriiuui--'. convinced that mineral salts, Of wbich they were de­prived during the war. can restore en­ergy to the raco—though why they should, no one e- actly seems to know —have become-tlic victliua of clever propaganda in wlilili the commercial Interests are not by any ineans behind­hand, says Chrlsilan Science Monitor. The country, in fact, is being flooded with mlnerol waters uud pjoprletary salt mixtvtres, to supply the lacking calcium which, according to popular theory, is all that if necessary to place Germany at the Iniollectual and com­mercial head.of-tlie nutlous again I A big run on chalk cults, aud their list­ing on the Berlin bourse, may be the next logical steps in this very illogical obsession of the "limed" superman.

The plaint of Prof. Wllllam B. Scott of Princeton university, that the Northern races vho depend upon coal for winter warmth must migrate to the tropics In a thousand years lest they freeze,'scarcely Justifies worry. Ac­cording to -other scientists, sucb a doleful prophecy wlll not be pertinent for some 8,000 years. By that time, doubtless, the electrical age wlll have arrived and -winds and w-aves wlll warm ns. Presuming that our Indus­tries - and winter furnaces consume 500,000,000 tons of coal annually foi 6,000 yearis, we must only then begin to consider migrations to the tropics. Calculations concerning our national coal deposits almbst exceed the im­aginations of the modern human mind. Government experts .assure us that our total underground supply Is well over 3,020,000,000,000 tons, all grades.

»N PRAISE OF FRECKLES. It Is high time that aomebody apolc«

up In behall of the freckle. The daf­fodil of the complexion haa been gibed at and a'bused until It bas lost Us standing as a thing of beauty. 7oung girls-smother In powder this wild flow­er the sun has placed upon their cheeks. Married women apply lotions to cause It to fade Into pallor. And only the other day a widow died from an operation w-hlch would sclentlflcnl-ly have plucked "the .Jocund company" from Its ordained meadow. We cannot ull be blondes.. ,And:hy the same token all our complexlon^ .' cannot be rose gardens. If the faK^'have-strewn daf­fodils upon your face, be not ashamed, even If you do hothlpg to encourage their growth. Rattier be you proud that the sun and wind have given you something milady's boudoir has de-lipalred of imitating, says Cincinnati Times-Star. For you never saw aVi artlflclal freckle. But as to. the roses that bloom in milady's check—ah, well, all Is not rose that I» red or pink. And many Is the rose that'a tfue, that Is also a hectic bloom, the symbol of la­tent disease. But there never flour­ished a freckle that did not bespeak health. .' y

It Is hard to define "a llvirig wage." It must always depend to some-extent upon the man »-ho Is to do the living. We'll sny this,' however: The man who coraes across with an honest, un-clock-watched day's work wlll get the wage, all right.

Buildings have beeii acquired, teach­ers appointed, aiid schools opened which must be attended by every child in London who has reached the age of fourteen and Is under sixteen, and Is not attending any other,, classes or school. Employers have to give eight hours a week off to people of such age in their employ, but should reap no little beneflt from the scheme If It Is carried out as Intended. So far the boys and girls of London have taken to the continuation classes like young dupks to w-ater, and they ought to go. buck freshSr to their -w-ork. Many lit­tle girls In domestic service are in­cluded In the classes, and are taught how to make their domestic duties an art and not drudgery. It will be In­teresting to w-atch the results.

down from the Scotch Covenanters of the Seventeenth century, who chose blue ns their emblem In opposition to the royal red. The Covenanters were a group bound ty a series of covenants to uphold the PrtS&ysterlan forms and doctrines of faith. Thus true blue was applied originally to a loyal Presby­terian.

Cavalry Rcacii Camp D o w n s . The first section of the flrst squad­

ron cavalry, M. N. G., under the com­mand of Major Dana T. Gallup, ar­rived in camp Saturday for .-i two weeks' tour ot duty. The outflt is composed of about 350 men and 20 offlcers, for the most part Greater Boston, jncn,- -since.. the headquarters Of the squaHron Js a t the Common-Wealth Armory., ' This will be a regular field camp for the men, for all wlll bc under canvas at the ronujunt station. .4n advance iietachment of nftecn men under Lt. Scott V. Curry of troop C arrived in camp on la.st week -Wednesday ond made prepai-.itioni.-, such as piping in drinking water and putting-up elec­tric light -iviros. As soon as the train reached c.imp the mess tents were put up ;u-.d in a short time the men were given thcir first meal since leav­ing the armo.-y in the e'drly morning.

Then thc men were set to work packing t.'u- baggage up the hill to the camp and in pitching tents and all the other work incidental to the esta*li^hmcnt of a camp. Hea-vy showers of rain all through the after-,noon hampered the work and caused much discomfort to the mcn. The National I.ancer."i, whose object and pNdo it haa alw.ays be«n to see that Massachusetts is represented with a vcmck cavalry outfit, arc looking after •the recreation of the men under the direction of Capt. -Walter C. Stevens, a former commander; a rest room Is .being fltted up. The squadron will run its own camp exchange and, sinc&

'the service troop Includes a band tor the first time in many years, band concerts will be given almost dally under the direction, of the band lead­er. John Haskins.

' M.-ijor Gallup, the commander, has hiid long experience as an officer. Ho commanded troop C at the Mexican border, and when It was con%-crtcd during the world -wor he went over-se.-va as commander of company C. '102d machine gun regiment He later returned to thia country as Instructor '/tnd, on thc reorganization of the ,'iquadron, resumed command of troop •C, and on thc retirement of Col. John R. Sanborn he became the commdnd-Ing officer of tVc squadron with the rank ot m.ajor.

England and. that c d m p D l z In Nc-w ^ Jersey cannot compare with it .

"When I was last at Deyens, -where-1 witnessed the .manoeuvres o t the National Guard, I was Impressed -with the Importance of th is cantonment to-New England,"' he said. *'If we or* goirig to havo onythlns: l ike milltary-tralnlnjr in this part of the country. Camp Devens Is better situated and" equipped than Camp Dix. Tbose -wJio.. have been in both campjs and studied both conditions feel this way about it. ^

"Then tako the Citizens' Milltory iTrainIng camp which -nlll open In August and last one m o n t h , what ' s the use ot booming this in N e w fing-land unless wo can prcser io such a centep tor training as Camp Devens affords?, .

"New England must hai,o a center for," xplUtory. tralniasr, nnd Camj^,Dix-should be abODdone'd, a s Camp Devens offers more inducements for such training. I am thoroughly in tavor ot retaining this cantonment, -while not losing sight o t the fact t h a t the war department must practice qcon-omj-."

The tug-ot-war cre­ated much sport, as the winning side required thc assistance ot a steam roller to help thc cause along.

Doclort Preach Prerention It Belter Than Care. Ninety per cent of all disease is

preventable, so doctors say. Eat simple food, exercise wisely, sleep sufficiently, and—what is vitally im­portant—make sure of the daily, regular, thorough elimination of I niorning for Providence body waste, and the chances are nino to one that you will keep well, wor!: efficiently and enjoy life, Bowel' elimination of food and tissue waste is all-important. But in case of ir­regularity, disordered or imperfect action do not make the common mis­take of taking harsh, violently acting medicines, •with the idea of forcing the bowels to act. Nature believes in mild methods. She responds best to persuasion. >

So in selecting a simple remedy to regulate and ass\iro proper bowel action, you should not use harsh or violently acting remedies, no matter how much has been claimed for them. You should choose some •well-known, time tested; trial proven remedy, that has made its reputation by being used for many years, by all sorts of people, all over the •world. Take Beecham's Pills for example. Beecham's is a household word, has been for many generations. Beech­am's Pills is a houaehold remedy, hasbeon for over half acentury. People not only take Beecham's bnt recom­mend Beecham's to their friends. Their uso is handed do wn from father to son or from mother to daughter, from one generation to another. Did you ever hear any complaint or criticism of Beecham's? Isn't that a pretty powerful endorse­ment of their worth ? Druggists are glad to sell Beecham's.

Two baseball teams started this sea­son in Milford, N. H., under the names of Milford and East Milford The East Mllford team outlived tho other and represented the town in the game against Townsend at Milford on Saturday.

"Townsend began scoring In the flrst Inning. Domina and Keefo were safe on errors by the .Milford second base­man. E.astman brought them in with a two-bagger. He .scored later whon R. Rusk singled. With two out in the second Swicker singled. Domina was safe on A, Comolins error. Keefe sent

I both runners in with a long drive ' good for throe bases. He js only cred­ited with a single, .as his brother, Riohard, umpiring on buses, averred that he did not touch socond. In the last of the second, McKonzie, pitch­ing for Townsend, hud to face several batters, who had become familiar with his pitching when playing for other teams. A. Comoli led oft with a long home r'jn over left field. E. Comoli w.as safe on Swicker's error. A. Bernasconi advanced him to sec-and with a good .sacrifioo. .McKenzie tried to catch him oft second but Swicker did not gather in the throw and he went to third. He scored whon Trentini tripled to center fleld. Conti singled, sending Trentini across the plate. I. Rusk then took up tho pitching for Townsend and Milford had no more chances to scoro.

Tonclla, the •Westbrook, Seminary Itwlrler, pitched well for Milford, but Townsend's heavy hitters were too imuch for him. He held them score­less for the next three Innings, but in the sixth R. Rusk lod off with a single and scored on McKenzle's hit. in tlto seventh .Swicker was safe on .^oag-llarini's error and Domina singled, Eastman sent, them in with anothor -double. In the ninth Domina and Keefe again .singled and Eastman, as usual, drove them in with a .scorch­ing liner.

Besid.es the hitting of Eastman tho game w;is feaf.ired by brilliant catches by Jos.selyn camo way In and robbed .A. Bornasooni of what appeared to bo a perfect singlo. .McKenzie mado a similar play o.n K. Comoli's drive in the eighth and in adition turnod it into a double play by catching A. Comoli off first. Thc latter was not at fau;t, however, ,as the drivo had all tho earmarks of a good clean hit.

The following is the score: TOW.VSEND

Flcld Dny nt Girl Scout Camp. On Saturday,. July SO, the roads

leading to the stato camp of the Girl Scouts at Lake Massapoag were well fllled at an enrly hour with thc many autos and teams and auto truck loads, coming as far .as Peabody. nnd from many of the:- towns surrounding Dunstiible, na this was the date of fleld day. There have been seven of the Girl Scouts from Popporell at t i e camp since thc opening on July 8 and flvo were members of tho camp on field dny,

Aa one neared the grounds nutos wero parked on both sides for a con^ sldernblo distance, .Entrance to the camp wns thrQUijh a turnotllc and generally n group of tho Scouts were In '\7aUlng to conduct vlaltors Insldo the grounds. Thon, too, on thU par­ticular day thoro Was preparation made for the hungry guests who had not provided themselves .with lunch baskets,, the Scbuts hnvlng chargo of a daintily decorated table, where sandwiches In vArlety were for sale, doughnuts. Ice cream, tonics and milk. The proceeds wero to go toward some necessary changes about the camp.

At ton o'clocK the bugler sounded thc call to the .gramcs' and contests.

and many had entered the lists tor the swimming and novelty races In the lake. The swimming-pool Is di­vided into sections, that for the nov­ice being within a log boom, placed about twenty-flve feet from shore. The advanced swimmers may attempt the flfty-foot swim out to the float and springboard, after they have passed the test ot the lOO-yard swim along shore, under the Instructor, Mr. Colton,

This lOO-yard test was accom­plished before fleld day by several girls, those among the Pepperell girls being Geraldine Parker, Katherine Maltman and Gwen Parker, the latter, who had only been at camp two weeks being a winner in her group. The novelty races were a source of much tun.

At noontime the camp detltian, Mrs. Elliott, nad charge as usual ot thc menu, and the girls were not al­lowed the liberty ot eating with their triends. The diet Is carefully looked after, which is probably one source ot the good health ot the girls In most Instances. Very tew sweets are al­lowed, and not lunching between the regular m'eals. Confectionery Is pro­vided once in a week or more, as a dessert, also, lce cream. The girls are expected to eat some portion, large or small, of whatever Is pro\-lded, and the tood receives most careful atten­tion ot the camp detltian, to be sure that it contains the propcr quantities of calories, proteins, carbo-hydrates, vltamines and other desirable system builders.

Although it W.1S not observed on field day the girls are supposed to take a rest hour every day from two to three o'clock.

Tho greater numoer of guests were on hand to witness the pretty spec­tacle ot thc 100 or more Girl Scouts, marching by heights, with a drum and bugle in ad\'ance, when they ap­peared <it the grounds chosen tor the contests.

In tho potato race there were so many contestants that they were di­vided Into groups .ind the winner in the first run was Geraldlne Parker, and of tho socond group, Natalie Blake. Katherlne M.iltman won in the relay race .and In the broad Jump Natalie Blake won second. There were alao obstacle races, vory amus­ing, "Skin the snake" races and other jumping contests, which kept the vis­itors Interested. The ceremony of raising the flag at the beginning ot the sports, when the bugler called the color guards to perform the work, and all sang "Star Spangled Banner" and the second ceremony whon tho ll.ag was lowered, after the salute was given, were observed with pleasure by the spectators.

At lunch tlmo thc girls were mnny of them allowed to take their O'wn kind ot lunch, with milk, and eat with the parents and guesta.

Th» girls returning atter a month's atay at camp on Tuesday ot this week wero Geraldlne Parker and Natalie Blake. Katherlne Maltman and Flor­ence Walker are yct In camp' and will probably Remain for the remainder ot this month.

While a member of the camp, Ger­aldlne Parker won a flower test, with 100 pcfcenL Also, by voto of the "Brown Owls." .she was choscn patrol loader of hor tent, which Is consldorod a mnrk ot distinction, .and (lultc an honor.

Commtmlty Scr»-Ico Club Dance, As an Initiative the dance held by

the Commun'lty Service club on Tues­day evening at Prescott hall, was a very satisfactory aftalr to all con­cerned, and financially gratifying as well, to those In charge ot the District Nurse campaign. The coolness of the evening was conducive to a large gathering, and when all had as­sembled, the hall was comfortably fllled for dancing.

Attractive decorations ot a group­ing of small pines on the stage, with liberal use ot aap.aragus branches .about thc walls and shrouding the lights, and, as a background for the sprays of goldenrod, made the place very pretty when combined with the gay costumes of tho dancers.

An entertainment preceded the dancing, with two soloctions by Hod­lln's orchestra ot Nashua, which wero excellent. Little Beverly O'Brien re­cited and gave a dainty little dance, seeming an animated doll In her pretty costume Thc talented little Imper­sonator, Ellen Parker, gave selectlona trom Jamos Whitcomb Rlley, and there wore solo mombers, much ap­preciated, by Mrs. Elizabeth Reagan Morrlssey and MLss Elizabeth Wright. Mlas Shepardson was accompanist tor Mrs. Morrls.sey ond Bevorly O'Brien and Mrs. C. B. Taft was accompanist for Mlas Wright,

Ico cre.am was on salo during tho evening. In ch.arge ot Mlfls Katherlne Hobart, and thc patronage was good, Tho committoo •were tho Mlssos Den­nen, Phlnney and Cherry,

This affected more particularly the moving picture .shows in town.

The thunder storm with high wind on Sunday w.is a sourc* ot farther damage to the electric lines, and many transformer fuses were deatroyed, particularly In HolUa. Shirley and Tyngsboro.

The telephone service was more dis­turbed here In Pepperell, as the light­ning struck the piazza of the Freii Chapm.an residence on P.ark street, ran around the lower, outer part. Jumped to thc water pipes, and left ita mark in the ground near the hose

The hou.so of O. B. Olson was also atruck, but boyond .a few loosened clapboards and Inner door.s. no great damage was done. The occupants were a trifle stunned, particularly Mr. Olsen, who happened to be nearest the line of the att.ack. Thia house, being on a hill, seems a favorito place for the lightning, as it Is remembered that It has several times been hit, knockl'ng out the teiephono, and minor Injuries.

Mnch Damago to Wires, Considerable repair work was nec­

essary last week and Sunday on tho electric lines about town, and received prompt attention from the workmen ot thc Tyngsboro Electric Co, During the hard rain of last week Friday evening the PcppcreU Spring Uho was broken down by a large Umb tailing across the wipes. This caused »n In­terruption ot service from th-c Junction of Heald and Maple .streets to the Sprlrfga, and later In thc ovening caused trouble all tho way back tow­ard PcppcreU Center, The Commun­ity church movies were affected, and US the show could not be complotod, tho management Issued "rain chooka" and thc show was put on again Satur­day evening.

I>ator In thc night a tolephone pole, used Jointly with tho Electric Co., broko ofl on River street near Main and thc wires wcre In contact with a tree, cnufllng moro or less 'flroworks." The electric light meri wore kopt at work until midnight repairing thc damage, that the . patrons might not experience Inconvenience. .
