To its many subscribers, old and
new, the Daily Express is offering a
most unique premium that should at
once become popular in every home In
Chickasha where there is a refrigera-
tor or ice box. The blanket is made
Of vegetable parchment, is thoroughly
sanitary, and its value lies in the fact
that it excludes heat from the outside
and retains the cold air beneath. Just
place the blanket loose over exposed
side nf ice, top or front. tucking the
edges in 1t will keep the outside
warm air from coming in contact with
the ice and save one half, and VIII
not decrease refrigeration. The blan-
ket is not porous so it will not become
musty or strong smelling, won't dis
solve or go to pieces when wet, so you
need have no fear of clogging the
drain pipe. Don't use any more por
GUS, unsanitary cloths. burlap sacks
or newspapers on your ice.
The only consideration necessary {,
secure one of these blankets, is tc
ray one months subscription in ad
yance to the Daily ExpTessT-forts
| ceuts-and our solicitor, or collectors
v and you one Dr. the blankets
may be obtained on the same terms a
the Daily Express office.
If you do not desire to advance you

ket may be bought at this office

WHY FARMERS BUY AUTOS
Man Who Grows Things Needs to lie
In "A Hurry Getting to Market.

An investigation by Farm Life. COW
cring seven counties in Southwestern
Indiana, shows that twice as many
cars are being sold this year as COM
pared with last and that about 10
per cent Of the machines going out
this season are being sold to farmers.
The investigation seems thorough
enough to establish a basis for the
whole country. The licenses issued by
tho state were first considered run
ming about $4,000 against 5000 for the
same date in 1914. The dealers were
interviewed. as we'll as more than 700
farmers.
Farm Life declares that not only are
average farmers buying machines. but
that every fourth or NTH man inter-
viewed. II he had no car, is planning
to buy one-this year or next,-if his
crops and his live stock ventures turn
out according to his reasonable homes
Is this unusual investment in auto
mobiles by farmers a sign of pros
pcrity?
1t is attributed by Farm Life large
ly To the decrease in the price of ma
chimes, and the need felt by the farmer
for time-saving and pleasure giving
vehicle. In no instance was II found
that the farmers neglected their nocks
and fields to go joy riding: on the con-
trary. the machine owners were pros
porous and happy.
