Decision Is

Reverses Old Deere e

Denver, Colo, Sept. Under de-
cision handed down here today by the
United States circuit court of appeals
for the eighth circuit, Keith Neville,
receiver of the Skinner Pocking com
pany OF Omaha, Neb., will be ousted
from possession of the Omaha pack
ing plant Of the Skinner Packing
company, leased to the Dold Pack
ing company.
Today's decision reverses the decree
entered in Omaha by the district
court Of the United States for the
district of Nebraska, whereby Keith
Neville of North Platte, Neb., former
governor of that state. and receiver OF
the Skinner Packing company, was
given possession of the packing plants
leased by the Skinner Packing COM
rany to the Dold Packing company.
Costs were assessed against the Skin.
ner stockholders.
Property of Stockholders.
1.-THE property in the receivership,
said the decree, "is in custody of the
court, and while the court may ap-
prove reorganization of the business
affairs of the property which Is held
in the receivership, made and agreed
to by those who are interested in 1t,
we do not understand that it is the
duty or province of the court to take
into it's possession and hold the busi-
ness affairs of others for the primary
purpose of reorganizing that business.
This record discloses that to be the
remaining purpose in the receivership
cause, and, however well the receiver
might discharge that duty. we think
it properly belongs to the stockhold-
ers of the company, whose judgment
ought to dictate what shall be done in
that regard"
Suit Began Here in June.
On June 6, last, an intervention
suit was filed in federal court In
Omaha by ,24stockholders of the Skin
ner Packing company asking that
Neville be discharged as temporary
receiver OF the concern. and protest
ing against the sale OF 100000 bonds
ef the company at S5 cents on the dol
Gar,
Mitten & Nesbit Co, and Herman
Wohler, two of the interventors, own
l4O shares each, while the others own
smaller amounts.
Claimed Company Solvent.
They charged that when Neville
was appointed receiver April %, 1921,
the company's assets were $500 900,
its liabilities less than one-fifth Of that
amount. and that it was. therefore,
solvent.
Neville should have surrendered
the receivership when, so days follow
ing his appointment, Paul Skinner
and Robert Gilmore gave up their
stock and retired from the company.
the interventors claimed
They alleged that the receiver had
greatly increased the company's liza
bilities. had authorized issuance Of
5000 900 of receivers certificates and
had done other things which he had
no right to do as a temporary re-
csiver.

not yet begun to rise from the desert.
Nell sat perched high upon the top

and somewhat above It.
The Mexicans were leisurely cook.
Ing their morning meal. A slow wrath
stirred In Gale as he watched the trio.
They showed not the slightest indica.
tion Of breaking camp. One fellow,
evidently the leader, packed a gun at
his hip, the only weapon in sight.
Gale noted this with speculative. eyes.
Then he saw two Indians on burros
come riding up the other side Of the
knoll upon which the adobe house
stood; and apparently they were not
aware Of the presence of the Mexi-
cans, for they came on up the path.
One Indian was Papago. The other,
striking In appearance for other rea.
sons than that he seemed to be about
to fall from the burro, Gale took to be
Yaqui. They came over the knoll
and down the path toward the well,
turned corner of the house, and
completely surprised the raiders.
Gale heard short, shrill cry,
strangely high and wild, and this came
from one of the Indians. 1t was an
swered by hoarse shouts. Then the
leader Of the trio, the Mexican who
packed a gun, pulled 1t and fred point

and tumbled Off his burro to fall In a

CHAPTER vI.-contlnued.

Then Gale returned to his little fire,
replenished 1t with short sticks of
dead greasewood and mesquite, and,
wrapping his blanket round his shoul-
ders, he sat down to warm himself
and to wait till It was time to bring
In the horse and tie him up.
The fire was inadequate, and Gale
was cold and wet with dew. Hunger
and thirst were with him. His bones
ached, and there was dull, deep
seated pain throbbing In his unhealed
wound.
Judged by the great average Of
ideals and conventional standards Of
life, Dick Gale was starved, lonely,
suffering, miserable wretch. But In
his case the Judgment would have hit
only externals. would have missed the
vital inner truth. For Gale was happy
with a kind Of strange, wild glory In
the privations, the pains, the perils,
and the silence and solitude to be en-
dured on this desert land.
He had a duty to man who relied
on his services. He was comrade, a
friend, a valuable ally to riding, fight
ing rangers. Gales happiness. as FAR
as II concerned the toll and strife,
was perhaps a grim and stoical one.
But love abided with him, and 1t had
engendered and fostered other unde-
veloped traits--romance and feeling
for beauty, and keen observation OF
nature. He felt pain, but he was
never miserable. He felt the solitude,
but he was never lonely.
AS he rode across the desert, even
though keen eyes searched for the
moving black dots. the rising puffs of
white dust that were warnings, ne
saw Nells face in every cloud. The
clean-cut mesas took on the shape or
her straight profile, with its strong
chin and lips, Its fine nose and fore
head. There was always a CLINT OF
gold or touch of red or graceful line
or CLEAN of blue to remind him or
Ae-. Then at night her face shone
warm and glowing, flushing and pal
ing, IN the campfire.
BY and by Gale remembered what
he was waiting for; and, getting up,
he took the halter and went out to
find Blanco Sol. It was pitch-dark
now, and Gale could not see a rod
ahead. He felt his way, and present
ly as he rounded mesquite he saw
Sors white shape outlined against the
blackness. Gale battered him In the
likeliest patch Of grass and returned
to his camp. There he lifted his sad
die into protected spot under low
wall of the mound, and, laying one
blanket an the sand. he covered him
self with the other and stretched him
self for the night.
Daylight came quickly. The morn
ing was clear and nipping cold. He
threw of the wet blanket and got up
cramped and half frozen. A little
brisk action was all that was neces-
sary to warm his blood and loosen his
muscIes, and then he was fresh,
tingling. eager. The sun rose In
golden blaze, and the descending val
lev took on wondrous changing hues
Then he fetched up Blanco Sol, sad
died him, and tied him to the thickest
ciurp Of mesquite.

SCORES FINE RECORD
in AIRPLANE TEST
Wofford Oil Co., Citing Per-
formanCe As Proof Of
Efficiency

Another victory for benzol blend
motor fuel was scored when the army

making transcontipental flight May
A. according to press dispatches re-
eeiVed in Birmingham after compile
tion of the flight. Que dispatch from
New York cites as one of the pre-
cautions taken by the aviators the
addition of a quantity of benzol to
the gasoline supply to insure better
combustion. In view of the fact that
the first attempt at flight across the
continent was unsuccessful due to
engine troubles, the benzol motor
fuel is given a large part of the
credit for the efficient performance
of the motor on the successful at
tempt.
The Wofford Oil company. mar
keters of Woco Pep motor fuel, the
first commercially marketed benzol-
blend motor fuel, are citing the per-
Torrance of the To as further proof
of the contention of their claims fol-
Woeo Pep that it furnishes better
combustion than gasoline and hence
more efficient operation. The pres
ence of the benzol, it is claimed, in
.sures a motor fuel that vaporizes and
burns more readily than ordinary
Straight gasoline and this accounts
for the added mileage and power and
the less carbon with the use of Woco
Pep.
According to George III. Gray, vice
president of the company, this latest
record has been added to numerous
others which have aided in convince
ing motorists that benzol- blend is
more efficient than gasoline and has
served to further prove the com
pany's claims for Woco Per motor

The Automobile Horns Part In the
SafetN First MnNemenf


From the days of Moses there have
| been laws enacted to restrict the use
of new inventions under the mlsguid
| ed impression that such laws were
! for the public good.
There was such legislative objec-
ton against the early motor driven
automobile horns by many of our
most progressive states. These same
states have since then legislated to
enforce the use of horns with sharp,
harsh, penetrating notes.
The KlaXon company, which put the
first motor driven automobile horn
| on the market in 1908, was forced to
spend more than 100000 in an eduCa-
tional campaign to overcome public
opinion and legislative measures
against the use of the instrument it
self
The first type of hand operated au-
| tomobile horn was a kind of reed and
| bulb instrument. working somewhat
| on the principle of the organ. The
vibration was produced by means of
| metal strip. The sound lacked pen
| etration and bad no continuous vol
| ume. This was before the days of the
lead storage battery.
The second type of horn was of the
buzzer variety-electrical, operated
| by dry cell much after the principle
of the door bell.
| Then came the motor driven horn,
due in great measure to the develop
ment of the starting, light and igni-
| ton systems for automobiles. which
| depended upon the storage battery.
| The general widespread use of the
automobile horn today. which is made
| compulsory in most states, is due to
| its great usefulness in preventing ac-
| cidents and to accelerate the flow Of
| traffic on our congested highways.
The safety-first movement. which
| started because of the mutilation of
hands and fingers and loss of eyes in
| our great industrial factories. and
| loss of life at steam railway cross
| ings, gave impetus to the use of the
automobile horn.
Today human life is safeguarded as
never before in the history of the
| world. The motor driven automobile
| horn has taken it's place among the
/ great warning devices of the world
due to the increasing traffic on our
| highways and bywayS. To realize the
| value of the automobile horn, imagine
| for an instant a congested roadway
| without the commanding, penetrating
| sound of the automob bile horn.
1t means the same thing in every
land, in every language-moye, and
move quickly. 1t not only warns, but
accelerates traffic through warning
the driver ahead. 1t keeps traffic
moving on the great interstate roads
in a steady flow. 1t is as necessary
as lights for night driving.
! Blow your horn and you can keep
on moving at any time and in any
place.

Complete Production Of Mo-
tor Car Shown In Moving
Picture

Oakland dealers in the vicinity of
Birmingham were invited to a spe-
cial showing of THE Opportunity of
a Lifetime" Oaklands educational
motion picture in the show room of
the Mccormack Bros. Motor Car
company, local distributors, Satur-
day evening. The picture started
with a few carefully prepared sta
tistics on the automobile industry,
and the design and engineering of
the Oakland car.
The complete production of the car
from the rough cylinder block cast
ing to the finished product was then
shown, with special emphasis on
those operations which make posi-
basis plan of purchase. The last
half of the film was given over to
a demonstration in which were
shown the correct and incorrect
methods of handling a prospective
purchaser with used car to trade
in. This part of the film was es
pecially valuable to dealers and
statesmen, as it showed very clearly
the effect of using good sound mer-
chandising principles as a solution
to the used car problem.
The picture closed with personal
message from the president of the
Oakland Motor Car company, George
II. Hannum. who is in large meas
ure responsible for the success of
the new Oakland Six.
Special Representatives in charge
of the arrangements for the meeting
were enthusiastic over the general
business conditions in Alabama and
