"Soldier or Sailor Going" My Way I" Get In" Inscribed in red letters on a placard attached to hundreds of automobile auto-mobile wind shields in Ogden is of far greater significance in principle than the mere lettering on paper. It means that the hearts of auto drivers go out to the boys engaged in war with feelings feel-ings so kindly that every possible courtesy extended speaks-but faintly the gratitude due. Just a little kind deed many times endears hearts together to-gether and makes lasting impressions for good. To invite the soldier lad to ride with you means that you feel he is in the service of war for peace of the- world for you and yours and that yon are indebted in-debted to him, in kindness at least, for ! the sacrifice he i making. It means even more than that, for the Utile kind act toward him plants in his heart the feeling that his people are back of him in his great work and that when he faces teh bullets of the enemy the hearts at home are beating for him and with him for the right; it gives , him hope, courage, ambition, strength and determination to win. I A praiseworthy example of extend - tog the courtesy of giving the soldier J or sailor a ride was related a short i time ago, in substance as follows: . While riding down Ogden canyon a few days ago, a patriotic citizen came across three soldier boys on foot. The civilian Immediately 'stopped his car and invited the boys to ride into town with him The soldiers accepted the invitation and in a very short time they were speeding toward the city in I a fine machine. i As the party came into the city the civilian asked the boys if they intend-jjl intend-jjl cd stopping ovor town during the night, observing that they were stran-p stran-p gcrs in Ogden and out on a brief fur-Sjj fur-Sjj lough, to which one of the boys roll ro-ll sponded that they had to report at I headquarters early in the morning but j that they would be pleased to remain 1 I'm ii n i 1 1 ii i i in Ogden as -long as their, furlough would' permit. "All right," said the civilian, "we will be glad to take care of you and make your visit pleasant. Come right along to my house anil remain over night." The boys had to get out of Ogden the next morning at S:30 and tho civilian civ-ilian very gladly drove them to the depot de-pot in his car at the time appointed for them to leave for Salt Lake, but when the depot was reached it was learned that the time schedule of tho train hnd been changed and it had left for the state capital at 8:15. "Well," said one of the soldiers, "what are we going to do? We are due in Salt Lake at 10 o'clock and here wc arc afoot." "Say, boys," quickly and very politely polite-ly responded the civilian, "no soldier lad is afoot in my town a3 long as this ofd buss of mine is on wheels. Get into this car fellows and wo will land in Salt Lake on schedule time. I am rather glad your train Avent ahead of time for it has given me an opportunity opportun-ity to do something for you men that are going out to do so very much for me. 1 hope you will all safely return from the war. We will take another ride then." It is needless to "say that the soldier boys could not find words strong enough to express their full appreciation apprecia-tion of the courtesy and you may be certain that their splendid host will remain in their hearts all through the war and the remainder of their lives. Don't forget the words "Soldier or Sailor Going My Way, Get In." Theso self-stiQking cards are offered to the auto-driving public by the Standard free of charge. Put one on tho wind shield of your car and take good care of the boys in uniform. RUST ON THE RIMS INJURES THE TIRES Rust is an enemy of rubber It will pay the motorist to inspect occasional- ly tho condition .of tho rims on the wheels of his car, especially if the outer surfaces of the casings near the heads look rusty. This disclororation is rust caused by rusted rims. This rust, if not arrested, will gradually eat through the rubber, attacking the canvas of the tire. In time the edges of the rusted rims Avill become more and more uneven, tearing and eventually even-tually destroying tho beads. Furthermore, Further-more, ruse works in between the beads and the rims, leaving space for water, wa-ter, which also damagc3 the rubber. oo |
