A good bargain is a ludi

each one thinks he has cheat

After a man is elected, too often
his worst trial is the fellow who was
for him.

More people would be leading dou
ble lives if thev weren't getting sin-,

:o:
It is predicted that the farmer
will receive no relief from congress
at this session. Too bad.
:o:
What tickles a man more than find

last summer's suit?

No matter how free a man is with
his money when he drops a nickel
he slaps his foot on it.

We are told that one hundred mil

Twelve thousand people are said to

any of the loafers in the lobbies of

We may have -spoken of it before,

While supposed to be considered a

at least have agreed to let the win

Now that we rae to have a nation

Our friend, John W. Gamble, for

If there is any combination or
promises between the president and
Ilenrv Ford resrardlne: Muscle Shoals
the people should know and Senator
Norris is going to find out, if pos

man escape.
:o:
The spirit of unfairness toward the
sterner sex is always noticeable.
When a real pretty boy does nothing
but run around and have a good
time people call him a sorry whelp,
but when a real pretty girl conducts
herself in the same manner people
call her a peach.
:o:
Few people know there was ever a
president of the United States from
Missouri, but there was. He was
Senator David R. Atchison, who was
president pro tern for the Sunday
which divided the termination of
President Polk's administration and
the inauguration of Zachary Taylor,
who refused to take the oath of office
on Sunday.
:o:
Herbert Hoover, secretary of com
merce, said to the Isaac Walton
League in Chicago. "There are too
few fishermen in public life." Herb,
as is often the case, was correct. If
every member of congress wanted to
go fishing they would be too busy to
worry over scandals. Same is true
in private life. And even though
there isn't chewing tobacco for us all
to go fishing, we believe mor fish
ing would improve a long neglected
world pretty quick.
:o:-
doer ho allow his own horn to spoil
the silence. He avoids dwelling on
his own exploits. He does not see his
own figure glery-crowned. the most
conspicuous in the landscape.
The figurehead joins many commit
tees and is embossed upon the sta
tionery of all sorts of organizations.
He is feverishly afraid of missing a
trick, of failing to register his pres
ence or be heard in movements that
are fashionable and popular. Yet be
hind the scenes, off the stage, when
the real work is done by toilers la-
visible, inaudible to the crowd, lie is
conspicuous by his absence. He has
not time for activities which do not
cause him to be conspicuously seen
and inordinately heard.
The figurehead counts for little
more than nausht nihteln ocprsllfL
more than naught in the long per
spective because he figures merely in
n physical sense. What he is. what
he says, what he does, are all alike
without spiritual consequence. No
man whose first thought is for hi
own advert:: runent is loved and trust
ed by the crowd and wanted as it
leader.

Did President Coolidge promise

Another disadvantage some needy

these schemes which can only make
money disappear that way.
:o:
One thing the radicals rail against
is prosperity, of which they have
very little, if any, of their own pro
viding. Their railings are particu
larly incited when a railroad enjoys
any degree of prosperity. They con
demn and denounce those in any way
responsible for railroad prosperity,
and seek ways and means whereby
to make such a thing impossible, for
getting that by so doing they are de
stroying the very props that sustain
the house wherein they dwell.
What did these owners do? They
provided improved facilities In order
to handle, promptly and efficiently,
the business offered to the railway.
They invested 50.700.000 of their
earnings, or funds made available by
them, purchased 165 new locomotive
and 13,134 freight cars. They spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
track improvement, including sidings
for the more expeditious handling of
freight and of trains. In every way
possible they are trying to meet the
conditions imposed by greater 'vol
ume of business enjoyed by their pat
rons, as is evident In the increase of
freight and traffic.
The prosperity that these particu
lar railroads enjoy is passed along
to a considerable degree and extent,
to others, to its patrons and to it.c
employes, and to employes in manu
facturing plant3 where are made the
locomotives, the freight cars, the
steels rails and other equipment re
quired and for which, and for other
things, more than fifty million dol
lars were paid, a considerable pro
duction, in repair shops and other
wise. Too many people, radicals especial-
forts of life are made impossible for
those who suffer when the railroads J
suffer.
There is a reasonable way to re
card railroad prosperity. If it is j
manifested, practically, it helps oth- 1
crs than the railroads, often more
than the railroads themselves. There
are many people who realize this, but
they are not radicals. They are rea
sonable, constructively inclined peo
ple. :o:
It only takes one to start a fight
and that is always the other one.

Protective Lubrication
clean oil in,
the crankcase
iVERY motorist knows that oil
I must be kept up to the proper level
in the crankcase. But compara
tively few worrv about the clean
ness of the oil. As a matter of fact, the
cleanness of oil and its body determine its
lubricating and protective value.
Only clean oil can afford
protective lubrication
Every stroke of the motor slightly con
taminates oil. Road dust, carbon, un-
consumed gasoline and moisture gradu
ally collect in the crankcase oil. After
five hundred miles operation the oil is
diluted thin and contains hard powder
which grinds and wears bearings and
machined surfaces.
The only way to secure protective lubri
cation is to keep the motor supplied icilh
clean oil of the proper body by emptying
and flushing out the crankcase every five
hundred miles aud reiilling with fresh
Polarine.
Consult the Polarine Chart before you
buy oil. Get the grade recommended
and you will save the cost of oil many
times over in t he lower cost of necessary
repairs and in bigger mileage and power
from your gasoline. Buy motor oil
where you see this sign five grades,
light, medium, fieavy, special heavy and
extra heavy a grade that provides
protective lubrication for every make of
car.
