GET? THF HIGH SIGN
For several days past a stranger
ha-: been within our gates whose
means of livlihood was not. apparent
on the surface and who has been
bunking in the old air dome and
ot her convenient locations, but on the
uruinir of Chief of Police Alvin Jones
th" stranger has gone hence to
brighter if Jiot warmer climes.
1: seems that the stranger was
filled with a war like spirit and which
at frequent, intervals would break
forth in a manner that was offensive
to those who were in his vicinity and
one of these outbreaks was the direct
cause of his leaving our peaceful i 1 y
and hastening back to hi? native
heath at Nebraska City where he will
annoy the residents of Mayor Frank
Thomas" city.
The stranger had gathered two
ompanions with him who were de
cidedly in awe of his prowness and he
was berating them and announcing
the fact that he "was the 'best man
in the city", when Chief Jones hap
pened to drift past and hp soon told
the gentleman who was 'he best man
and also indicated that the best thing
be could do was to bunt solitude and
lot:: of it. and the stranger without
any argument proceeded to hit the
hiiih spots out Chicago avenue toward
the Otoi? count v citv.
CASES IN DISTRICT COURT

fice of the clerk of the district court
entitled Laura.K. Uyons, et al, vs. Re
becca J. Kyons. et al. and in which
the plaintiff asks that title to cer
tain real estate in Cass county be
fjuietcd in the plaintiffs.
Another petition filed was that of
Kthcl Pluiiiiner vs. (Jeorge Plummer

Iowa, May 11. lHOO, and that in Au
gust, 1J0S. the defendant deserted
the plaintiff and has not since that
time supported the plaintiff or the
minor child of the marriage. The
petition asks for a decree of divorce
and the custody of the minor child
of the parties in the action.

Your guarantee of engine
power and engine protection
Lubricating oil has a double duty. It must maintain
a fuel-tight and gas-tight seal between the piston rings
and the cylinder walls otherwise fuel and the explo
sive gases are not completely converted into useful
power. Fuel is wasted and you get less power.
It must maintain a smooth, cushioning film in all bearings and
between all encaging parts otherwise bearings burn out,
parts wear loose, vibration becomes excessive, breakage and
expensive repairs and replacements become necessary.
Polarine is the perfected lubricating oil of the world's largest
and most experienced manufacturer of oils for all purposes.
It maintains its body and lubricating qualities under extremes
of temperature and operating conditions. It is your best and
safest guarantee of both engine power and engine protection.
Polarine is made in four grades light, medium heavy, heavy
and extra h"avy but only one quality. Get the proper grade
for your car next time you buy clean -burning Red Crown
Gasoline and you will rtart cutting down motoring costs.

Why That Headache
When you know the cause of a
disease a cure may often be effected.
This is particularly true of headache.
Ueadaohe often results from con
stipation or a disordered condition
of the stomach, which may be cor
rected by taking a dose or two of
Chamberlain's Tablets. Try it. These
tablets ar? easy to "take and mild
and pentle in effect.
Your ad will carry punch, if you
write it as a plain "felUng talk" in
stead of trying to fuss it up with
frills and exagerations.
Are You Caring for
the Cars?
You know that the autos cost when you purchased
