Dis+rust Is Your Responsibility

Is it more disgraceful to dis
trust ones friends than to be de-
ceived by them?
A nature lover is like other low
ers. His love is most ardent when
he doesn't know much about it.

GET READY FOR
WINTER DRIVING

No section of our population is
more dependent upon the automo-
bile as a means of transportation
than the residents Of the smaller
communities and rural districts.
Yet each Fall, many car own
ers cause themselves great deal
of trouble and expense by neglect
ing one or all of the simple yet
necessary steps to assure proper
operation of the car in Winter
weather.
A minimum Winter protection
program should cover:
/. Complete change to correct
grade of lubricants for motor,
Transmission and differential.
2. Motor tuned up, including adj
justing of carburetor, valves,
distributor, sparkplugs, genera
tor and all electrical equipment.
3. Drain and flush cooling system.
Refill with suitable anti-freeze
solution.
Selection of motor oil and
greases for Winter driving is par
ticularly important. You must
select an oil which will permit
easy starting, that will lubricate
the motor throughout the entire
driving range of speeds and will
continue to do so for a reasonable
mileage.
For many years Quaker State
Winter Oils and Greases have
been recognized as the highest
quality and most generally salts
factory Winter lubricants on the
market.
Through Quaker States highly
developed methods and equipment
it is possible to produce a motor
oil which will have satisfying
body over the 400-degree range of
temperature it will meet. That
is, when the motor temperature
is way below zero, the oil will still
be fluid enough to allow the motor
to turn easily and also to flow
freely to all the bearings. Yet this
same oil has enough body to stand
up and to give the motor proper
fabrication when the temperature
inside the cylinder wall reaches
400 and over.
AS with any other product you
buy, you get what you pay for.
An oil Of Quaker State quality is
necessarily expensive to make.
This does not mean, however, that
Quaker State is more expensive
to use. Being pure, concentrated
fabrication, it stands up longer in
service. It gives more miles per
quart and at the same time gives
the bearing surfaces safer protec-
ton.
Youwillwant to step into the car,
even when the mercury is hiding
in the bulb and press the starter
with every expectation that the
motor will start off with it's usual
Summer zest. This sure starting,
plus motor protection, is only pos
sible by preparedness. ADV.

Sea Level

Sea level refers to the level Of the
surface Of the sea; specifically, this
level at its mean position, midway
between high and low water, adopt
ed as a standard for the measure
ment Of heights.

A Three Days Cough
Is Your Danger Signal

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold, or bronchial Irritation, you can
get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take a chance
with any remedy less potent than
Creomulsion, which goes right to
the seat of the trouble and aids ma
ture to soothe and heal the inhamed
mucous membranes and to loosen
and expel the germ-laden phlegnl.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained from the very first
bottle. Creomu1sion is one word-not
two, and it has no hyphen in it.
Ask for it plainly, see that the name
on the bottle is Circumcision, and
you'll get the genuine product and
the relief you want. (Adv.)

seemed piffling, so he pedalled back
to Chatham and kept on going, on
his bicycle, on foot and on boats.
He's been around a lot and now, at
sixty-four, the President hands him
job which no mere pestler or ped
aller could handle - boss of the
Bonneville project, the biggest dam
in the world. He will resign from
his S. E. G. post to become admin
istrator of the huge power plant.
Mr.. Ross was for 20 years head of
the municipal power development
Of Seattle. His selection for Bonnie
vile is taken as an administration
declaration that it is going all the
way through on its power plans.
He has not only been a vigorous
champion of public development,
but he has fought for public distribu-
ton. Here, he says, is the kernel
Of the whole business. He says pri-
vate companies could rnanufa cture
power at possibly lower cost than
could the government, and makes
his fight on distribution costs. He
stakes out big regional power hook
ups through the Northwest, existing
and planned. His policies are ag-
gressive and far-reaching and his
appointment would seem to sharpen
the isagreement between the Presi-
dent and the power companies.
He has taken and administered a
lot of punishment. Several years

sees it.
Then his partisans, just to show
that they were with him, spotted up

She was an anti-suffra gist, but

And that, she thinks, is as it should

Careless Driving



Reckless OF carelss driving is re-
sponsible for the greater part OF the
yearly toll Of automobile accident
victims.
Approximately 1000 persons are
killed annually in Ohio killed not
by automobiles but by automobile
drivers. The number killed by
automobiles--by mechanical fail
ures such as steering knuckles OF
axle breakage, etc, for examples
negligible. Modern mortorcars are
SO well constructed that they seldom
fail mechanically.
On an average one driver in about
845 will kill somebody in Ohio this
year. In 1896 there were some 2242
fatalities among the approximately
100000 passenger cars and trucks
registered in the state.
And these fatalities will continue,
