than any factor which
enters your domestic or
business life.
No doubt your interest has been con-
fined to what it costs and how much
is in your tank. e.
Gasoline furnishes the energy which
propels your car. The energy is derived
solely from the heat Of combustion;
therefore it is greater or less in direct
proportion to the number Of heat
units contained in the fuel.
The rate of combustion must be in
direct proportion to the time necessary
for the piston to perform, a useful
working stroke - making smooth,
rhythmic power.
Red Grown Gasoline has that con-
tinuous chain of boiling pointfractions,
beginning at about IS degrees Fahren-
heit and ending above 400 degrees
Fahrenheit, to produce that useful
working stroke,'' rather than the
violent slam of the piston produced
by the so-called @3high-test'' gasoline
which makes jerky power and racks
your engine.

FIRM GROUND FOR PLANTING
Plants In Loose Soil Cannot Draw Suf-
f1cient Moisture to Make Them
Thrive Well.

Ground for planting, whether seeds,
plants or trees, should be fairly firm.
Too often the garden Is plowed up late
and the seeds planted In the loose soil
without giving 1t any f1rming, and then
the seeds are blamed because they do
not terminate. Plants set In such
ground are often supposed to be poor
ly rooted or have low vitality, when In
reality neither seeds nor plants can
draw sufficient moisture from the
loose ground to make them grow. A
garden roller is as necessary as a plow
If the pillow is used late.
If the ground is plowed early enough
so it can settle well before being
planted and then lightly cultivated on
the surface to keep the weeds down
and form dust mulch until 1t Is plant
ed, both seeds and plants will start
much better and grow faster. Deep
fall blowing, with the surface left
rough, and then light culture before
planting In the spring is the ideal
method, provided you do not want to
give it two or three plowlngs during
the winter, with light applications of
manure.

FOREST FIRES ARE COSTLY
Cause Average Loss of 25,000, 900 and
Seventy Lives Every Year In the
United States.

The direct annual fire loss in the
United States from forest fires is said
to be about S25 900, 900, to which must
be added an equal amount from The
destruction of sawmills, farm build
ings, crops, and stock that are burned
by fires originating in the forests.
Apart from the property loss there
is an average death list of 10 human
lives each year. The indirect losses
through the destruction of raw mate
rial, the shutting down of sawmills and
woodworking industries, the losses in
wages through unemployment, all tend
TO increase the price of wood products,
and these losses cannot be estimated.
If a city burns 1t can be rebuilt from
the insurance; when a forest burns
everyone in any way dependent on it is
left empty handed.

Approximately one-tenth Of the but

a cent per pound per month. In the

ward the more general use of consum-
ers' packages, usually Of the one-pound

It is pointed out by the specialists
that the establishment Of brands Is
essential for effective advertising.
craftsmanship is also vital factor In
successful market distribution. 1t Is
highly important In marketing a

hut. which ne had not noticed before.
well seQucstered in leafy grove, was
a young man, pale. thin and Invalid
looking. He was supported by girl
ish companion.
She was Rachel Glare, and, noting
the resemblance, Willis at once knew
that this must be the fugitive brother.
Rachel was supporting him as he paced
to and fro. Finally they disappeared
into the hut.
Willis arose to his feet with firmly
set lips. He had made up. his mind.
The sight of that anxious, innocent
face, and of the wan, stricken face of
her brother had appealed TO all that
was noble and manly in his nature.
He sat down again, to act promptly
upon the impulse that seized him. lie
removed the hateful badge of author
ity, the star. He took out the war
rant and tore 1t in two. Then he in
dlted brief, but telling note, to Miss
Glare.
In It he bitterly accused himself of
unworthiness. He made no pretense
of concealing his love. But he depre-
Gated the undetermined part he had
proach her again, but he could benefit
her brother thus far-to take warning
that the law was on his track and that
he had still time to flee.
He made up a package of the star,
the warrant and the note. He turned
to retrace his way to the village. His
plan was to leave all at the home of
Rachel and straightway leave for the
city, not caring what fate might await
him there. He was tearing through
the timber, needless of marks that to
a woodsman would have warned OF
peril, when a half-cut tree, blown by
the wind, struck him PROSTATE.
1t was in the hut where he had last
seen Rachel and her brother that VIII
lis returned to consciousness. His
nurse was that sef-same brother, who
moved to his side, gentle and atten-
tive, at moan from the patient.
He had been there two days, dis
covered under the tree by Sidney Glare
and his sister, and removed to the hut
the letter he had written discovered,
too, Willis learned later.
A soothing draught was administered
and when Willis awoke again Rachel
was there.
1--WE are going to remove you to our
home" Sidney Glare told him, and VIII
lis hid his face In his pillow, feeling
his unworthiness as he recalled the
spying mission that had brought him
to Durham.
"The truth has come out about my
brother" spoke Rachel brightly
There was motive In his disappes

they met after the lapse Of years, she
having become a widow and he hav-
Ing remained a bachelor, do you re-

you and l walked in the gloamlng?"
II remember the swamp we walked

Then q fond hope died In her breast
and she turned away to make herself
agreeable to others.
