WHAT IS cLIMAIc coNTRoL7
 All gasoline is extremely sensitive to weather changes. Your own experience undoubtedly has shown you how engine performance varies with driving conditions. Every daily variation in the weather from hot to cold from rain to shine, raises or lowers engine heat, and engine heat is the factor which turns liquid gasoline into gasoline vapor and into effective horsepower.
 Climatic originated by Socony- vacuum-is the pre-adjustment of the specified tions of Socony Mobilgas so that, at either high or low altitude, it automatically adapts itself to the daily-even hourly weather changes, thus preventing loss of power and mileage.
 Climatic Control, therefore, is what you must have in gasoline to make you independent of weather changes that affect ordinary gasolines

Company.
Miss Wade, dressed in one of the
new rubber suits. described its
points of value. 1t has no appear
ance of rubber. and has a comfort
able velvety feel. 1t dries in two
minutes and is more sanitary than a
fabric suit. 1t is claimed that it
doesn't attract heat, and surprising
as it may sound, it is both cool and
warm-coOl under the suns rays
but warm in the water. II sets off

HOW THE FARMER
CAN GET RELIEF
LConfinurd from First Pagel

LOHfiHHfd from FHT Fd9e1
rOwed, only it is bank, not associa-
ton, stock.
However, the farmer may agree
in his mortgage to join an associa-
ion when 10 or more borrowers in
his community have secured an ag-
gregate of $4,000 in loans from the
bank. After such an association is
formed, the stock in the Federal
Land Bank held by each of its men,
bers whose loan is in good standing
will be Cancelled at par and they will
receive an equal amount of stock in
the association. His interest rate
will then be reduced by one-half of
one per cent per annum.
Not only will the borrowers in
terest rate be reduced through the
refinancing operations but he will
have a long-term loan, better suited
TO his needs. Upon this loan he will
make semi-annual or annual pay
ments on the principal. but these
payments added to his new, lower
rate of interest probably will not
exceed what he had been paying in
interest alone on his short-term
loan. Through July -, 1888, he will
not be required to pay on the prin-
cipal of the loan if he is not in de-
fault with respect to any other con-
dition or covenant of his mortgage.
Further, he will not have to renew
his loan periodically, if he keeps
his loan in good standing at the
bank.
"The mortgaeed farm must be APP
praised under the terms of the Fed
eral Farm Loan Act and the bank
will determine the amount it is
willing to pay for the mortgage COW
ering the land appraised" continued
Mr.. Jackson. 1.-THE bank may pay
for the mortgage as much as SO per
cent of the normal value of the land
