On Hallowe'en, two centuries ago, country folks set bowls of cream outside their windows as an offering to keep witches away. Empty bowls in the morning the witches had come and gone away satisfied! Meanwhile Pussy Plinked knowingly on the hearth. Today, as in those days, the real goblins and witches are the petty doubts and worries that crowd the joys from life. A bank account is the protecting charm that chases them from the minds of men. Like October sunshine, it puts joy into life - the joy that comes from the assur ance that the future is provided for.

Importance of a Complete t UUUM (Thiviri of Km Hncr Point Fractions You' can't light coal with a match. Kin dling is necessary. For the same reason, the heavier fractions of gasoline can't give you instant ignition, snappy pick-ups and full power and mileage unless there; is an ample supply of low-boiling point fractions to act as kindling. Straight-distilled gasoline possesses these boiling point fractions in correct propor tions. That is why Red Grown Gasoline is uniformly satisfactory. It is straight-distilled gasoline that meets every requirement of the U. S. Government specifications for motor gasoline. There is no better gasoline for cold weather use. A uthorized Red Crown D ealers Everywhere Wherever you go you can always get Red Crown Gasoline from reliable, competent, obliging dealers. The gasoline and motor oils they sell make motor operation more pleasant, more economi cal and more dependable.
