Many fabrication aids" claim
to help engines. Here's proof
that Miracle Power improves
fabrication. Wetmore Hodges
& Associates, independent re-
search laboratory, ran a COM
parative road test of two truck
engines under identical COM
mercial hauling conditions.
Results: After 80, ,703 miles,
the MirueIe Power engine W0s
using 33% less oil, had 1875
greater compression, 56%
more spark plug life, 49% less
cylinder wear, ISL less
ring wear.
Why? Because Miracle
Power is a blend of super
lubricating agents including
colloidal synthetic graphite in
suspension. Used in gas and
oil, Miracle Power clings to
metal, holds oil longer, lubri-
Gates even when oil burns off
due to excess engine tenn
peratures.
Insist on Miracle Power in
gas and oil-remember it's

though before the close of hostilities
many had returned on sick leave,
principally because of malaria.
The contingent arriving home in
February received royal welcome,
with the G. A. R., the public school
children and the band meeting the
group at the railroad station. The
returning soldiers got into rank with
the parade and marched to the town
hall, where the parade disbanded and
everyone went home. In the evening
there was banquet and program
at the town hall.
Another. item evidences the "horse
and buggy" era through which the
town was passing:
while enroute to Ada Monday, ID.
Russell met with quite a painful ac-
cident. He got out of the buggy to
fix something in the rear and while
doing so the horse started going. He
started to run after it but tripped and
fell, spraining his right wrist badly
and knocking the breath out of him.
Mrs. Russell managed to get hold of

the lines and stop the horse before he
had gone too far. A young lady with
them jumped out of the buggy and
was not hurt"
An unusual sidehght on the news
was the following notice: "Notice is
hereby given to those who have been
shooting at and throwing stones at
the Catholic church that it must be
stopped"
Following are some of the wartime
advertisements appearing in The
News:

but high prices surrendered to H.

"Get divorce from your winter
underwear. Marry again. Noah's
Ark can supply you with the best
summer underwear in town."
"Get red, white and blue tie to
wear on the Fourth. Baumgartner,
Geiger and Co."
One strange little news item was
the following: "Cooney Bowmaster
complained greatly all day Monday
that the foot of the limb he had am
putated gave him great pain as
though swollen and cramped. His
suffering became such that the mang-
led limb was removed from its burial
place and the foot was found to be

In addition to items of local inter-
est, the newspaper covered the ma
tional scene from the news angle,
and also appearing were fiction stor-
les, some complete and some of con-
tinued nature.
And a quotation from a neighbor-
ing newspaper carried portent OF

from June, 1898, through June, 1899,
and the events depicted demonstrate
that life in the town was vastly diff
ferent in those days.
Extension of the water works lines,
construction of sidewalks and efforts
to obtain telephone service are re-
fiected in cryptic accounts in the vel
lowed papers, as follows:
@By reference to the council pro-
ceedings it will be noticed that Bluff
ton has a prospect of securing a tele-
phone exchange. This is move in
the right direction, for nearly all
other towns of this size have an ex-
change and it is the only modern i'm
provement we lack"

Montana has always favored pinto

"The water works has begun work

A campaign was in its final stages
to bring Bluffton college here, as not
ed in the following item:' "No less
than 40 from here will go to the Men

sic at the conference will be furnished
by singers from this place. At this
meeting it is expected that the ques-

be made to bring it to Button"

beautiful horses that were used
throughout the picture.
The westerner more recently broke
into the news when he appeared in
the parade following the Inaugural
ton of Dwight ID. Eisenhower as
president. 1t was Monte who tossed
the rope around the new executive
as flash bulbs popped and the new
president was acclaimed for his good
natured acceptance of the joke.
So this is the calibre of horses

of fine animals, and this is the calibre
of horses Blufftonites will watch in

Still Time To Plant

Home gardeners still have time to
make late paintings of snap beans,
sweet corn and cabbage as a means
of providing fresh vegetables into
the fall season.
Eugene Wittmyer, extension hor-
ticulturist at Ohio State university,
said this week that such successive
paintings insure a continuous supply
of vegetables for eating, freezing
and storage.
Later this summer, caulif1ower,
broccoli and similar vegetables may
be planted for fall yields.
