You may not be interested in the techni,

Humble Flashlike Gasoline, but every one
who drives a car is interested in how the
product acts in the motor.
The above specifications of Humble
Flashlike Gasoline show the laboratory
analysis and its explanation in everyday
terms. Every one agrees that easy starting
is much to be desired; also, to get your
moneys worth from the gasoline you buy,
it must burn completely. Humble Flash

Humble Flashlike Gasoline must pass

know, often causes choked gasoline lines.
Humble Flashlike Gasoline is clean, high

one-tenth of one percent, thus safeguard
ing the valves in your motor from danger
of pitting. And a most rigid gum test in

England Produces
Exceptional Crops

London, Nov. 7.'Ft-l'ritish farm
ers are breathing a sigh of relief.
Their harvest is a record one, e cry
kind of crop having been exception

After the devastating summer Of
last year, when rain followed rain
and crops rotted in the field long
before harvest, English farming
needed a particularly good sum-
mer this year to pull half the farm
ers out of serious financial hole.
Prof. James Long. agricultural
expert. says he never has known a
more successful harvest. 1t was
reaped in double quick fashion and
saved in good condition. Assum-
