ton.

ESQ is
already brOvem

This giant motor fuel has already
proved a sensation in Baltimore
and Washington. The local reputa-
ton of this special standard
blended motor fuel became so
favorable that in the short span OF
a few months it's fame spread to
other cities and states.
The result was such a widespread
demand for the great motor fuel
that the Standard Oil Company
has now decided to market it
generally. So, in order to avoid
confusion with other automotlve
fuels and to give such distinctive
product a really distinctive name
of its own, this special super tuel
will hereafter be known as ESQ.
Ask for it by name ESQ.

 ready Told.

Leninakan, Armenia, Oct. 29 P)- After making a thorough survey of 25 ruined villages, Dr. Joseph Beach of Bangor. Me. director of the Near East Relief, said today that the first reports gave no ade- quate idea of the wretchedness and loss of life caused by last Friday earthquake.
 In the one village of Daharlu, with only TOO population, 115 per sons were buried alive with their cattle. and 345 were injured. Two women whom he had found weep ing amid the ruins had lost II members of their family.
 All the food which the peasants had stored for the winter is buried beneath tons of debris. and will be ruined by the first rain.
 "Daharlu is only typical of a score of other villages" said Dr. Beach. The government is making heroic efforts to meet the unpre- cedentcd situation. but the mere problem of finding shelter for 10O,- 900 souls before freezing weather begins is staggering. and requires outside help"

 Whenever a young couple comes to the home here of the Rev. Ed ward Stuart Best for marriage. the aged pastor readily consents. In fact, it is today one of this chief joys.
 Some Are Grandchildren
 Rev. MT. Best receives visits from couples, many grown old. whom he married in their youths. He has been a preacher in the New England conference for half a century.
 They bring their children and sometimes their grandchildren with them" he said. 'and their coming delights my heart"

Grandfather Clock Has
 licked Away 200 Years

Peoria. H., Oct. 29 Pl-Most
 everybody is familiar with Longfel-
 lows poem about the grandfather
 clock that stood on the stairs tick ing the years away"
 Many persons possess grandfather clocks but few are as old as the one in the home of James Robert liar
 rison, 72, inventor and manufactur- CT, which has been ticking steadily through nearly 200 years for six generations of the Harrison family. It keeps perfect time and the works
 which are of brass show no mark of
 the hand of time.
 The ancient timepiece was brought to America from England about 1900 by Robert Harrison, grandfather Of the present owner. It was willed to Robert by his father, who probably was the first owner, so that it's history dates well back in
 the 1700's. And it has been Willed through each generation since. Curiously, the work bears the date
 AID 1919. but this apparently is too
 early for the type of clock. It runs
 ten days for each winding.
