 Active bidding mp for the oils lift ed Sinclair and SinmS to now peak prices for the year, but the rally was checked by the weakness Of the Pan American issues, which sank to their lowest prices since 1924 on gears for the safety of the present S4 dividend.
 Hudson led the advance in the motor group. The slong list of new highs included Nanadium Steel. Montgomery- Ward, Sears Roebuck American Can, Coca Cola. Union Tank Car and International Business Machines. Gabriel Snubber touched q new 1927 low on unfavora ble diyi- dend rumors and reports of poor business.

Experts Say Auto Wear
High in Cold Weather

The belief Of many motorists that
the major wear on automobile en-
gines Is caused In extreme hot or
cold weather has been proven wrong
through an extensive Investigation re-
Gently made by several eminent auto
motive engineers. Drivers are aware
OF the danger to motors running
hot" and take the necessary pre-
cautions of having plenty of water
In the radiator during the hot sum-
mer months. And In winter months
the engine Is run for several minutes
in the garage before starting out, to
get the engine to run smoothly.
This investigation showed that cold
weather causes excessive wear and
that considerable damage 10 done even
in the milder weather of September
and October In the fall and April and
May In the spring, when motorists
believe that no protection Is needed.
Wear that comes too soon after the
auto ts purchased results In fire.
1uent visits to the service station and
trading In of the machine long before
adequate mileage Is obtained.

The Knocker.

The knocker is one of the most
contemplate animals in exist
ence. Every body admires a
booster, and it is just as easy tc
boost, as it is to knock. If any
little enterprise springs up in
your town, county, or community,
boost it; If it is not as good as it
should be, boost it, and by so dc
ing, you help to improve it; if
every body turns knocker, ii
drives enterprises away and YOU
town becomes as silent as the
grave. Be a booster! Boost your
town, boost your schools, boost
your home town paper, boost youl
banks, and by doing so, you will
soon find that boosting is like
Bread cast upon the waters"
Lay aside that greuc4. and be a
booster, and the returns will he
greatly multiplied.

THREE KISSES.

The first kiss always the best
Was not in the spring
When all nature smiled
And flowers were budding and
birds were mating
1t was in two feet of snow.
She was leaning against a tree
Near her front gate
Ny feet were freezing.
| knew | should go home.
But | had been planning that kiss
For days and days and especially
nights.
When | suddenly leaned forward,
She thought was gonig to strike
her, | guess.
She instinctiveiy drew back
And | kissed her on the left ear.
She turned and ran indoors.
| stopped down and tied my shoe,
Then walked away on clouds.
| wanted to tell everybody about
it.
But | knew | didn't dare,
So | just started whistling
And plumb forgot my cold feet.
At home / got out fathers razor
And shaved for the first time.
Butt was afraid to- pass her house
For weeks afterward.
The second kiss that counted most
Was three months after we were
wed,
We had quarreled and she had
cried.
A hot tear trickled over my lip
AS | softly pressed her lips to
mine.
| looked into her eyes,
And they were dancing
A rainbow appeared
Beneath her laughing tears.
| kissed her last night,
But there was no response.
Her lips were cold like molder's
clay.
The reptilian feel made me shud-
der.
| sat down and cried bitterly.
| shall never kiss her again.
She is dead.
