sufficient force to let the engine pull
the load you have hooked on behind.

RIGHT PLACE FOR GASOLINE
Underground Tank Is Best Because II
10 Cold Year Round-Obviates
Danger Of Leak.

If gasoline is to be kept in the house
or in the garage the temperature Of the
place should be as nearly uniform as
possible. This avoids any dangerous
vapor pressure which will force gaso-
line Of the tank or might even
cause a leak. OF course the best is an
underground tank, as that is cold all
the year round and so is not open to
the above objection.

who makes his car serve him in many
ways besides as a pleasure vehicle this
Is a practical invention.

The Car Ahead.

Manufacturers are beginning to make
something attractive out of the real
paneling of automobile tops. Designs
have been made for the mica so as to
give an indication of what car it is.
Either 1t is the initial of the car name
or else a shield or some other trade

The board of appraisers for the
Richland branch of the Farm Loan
bank has completed its first appraisal
of property on which the owners are
DESTROYS of securing loans and it is
hoped that the matter can be hur-

secure enough money from the gov
eminent to complete the payment Of
their land and use the balance of their
loan for much needed improvements.

Mesdames H. F. Yedica, Harry Miller
and Miss Laura Hartho, yellow and
white being the predominating colors.

extended from the front door to the
brides seat Of honor and after the
honor guest had been blind-folded she
was requested to follow this ribbon to
her place where she was presented
with fishing pole, wrapped in yellow
satin ribbon and instructed to fish.
Miss Evalyn Yedica very Conscientious
~ saw to it that the fish were numer-
GUS and of a superior quality, with the
result that the popular bride-elect will
have many beautiful things with which
to make her new home beautiful. AZ
