Shall We Gravel Main Street
While the soil in and about Mur
dock is of excellent growing quality
it also makes some mud which sticks
tighter than a newly rich man's for
'tune. and when the weather is wet
makes getting about very difficult
as well as interfering with business.
There is being much graveling
done over the state at this time, a
good many counties graveling their
'highways and it is thought that dur
ing this and next summer there will
he two highways, one in the South
' Platte country and one in the north
ern portion of the state extending
entirely across the state that will be
graveled.
Any one visit;ng Louisviile. Green

: get a good idea of the benefits de
i rived from the graveling of the
! streets as the question of mud and
! bad roads are entirely eliminated.

Henry Reickman. one of the most

residing southwest of Murdock. has
purchased some time since the home
of C. L. Milk-r in Murdock and an
excellent home at that. and will

' lowing the boys to look after the

after having rustled for the years
which have passed, it will be a dif
j ficult matter for Mr. Reickman to
dor illy remain idle and he will be
enough concerned in the work on
;the farm to want to be there a por

Tbe democrats were milling along
bringing the selection of a guberna

definate. The most interesting fea

pirn that was talked about the capi

problem. It was suggested that the
democratic candidates on the state
ticket be called together in an in

circumstances would he consider

he ouce occupied for two terms.
Mr. Morehead declared that the
voters of the First district had been
kind to him and he would abide by
his original decision to run to suc

The' former governor admitted
that he had received numerous long

but he said he never gave the idea
a serious thought. being content
with his congressional office.
London, July IS. -The real work
of the allied conference began to
night when three committees start
ed work on the constitution for a
new reparations commission on plans
for the restoration of German eco
nomic unity, and on the question of
disposition of future payments in
kind.
Ambassador Kellogg plainly told
the conference that the American
government would not appoint an
official delegate on the reparations
commission to assist in working out
measures to apply in the event of
German default. He stated, how
ever, that the United States would
not object to an individual American
serving in an individual capacity.
The first committee, which Owen
Young attended, decided to recom
mend that the conference accept the
suggestion of the American govern
ment anel secure the services of some
Ame: i an to be nominated by some
arbitral authority such as The Hague
court.
The second committee will consid

'OU want to be sure of several things
when you select a tractor. One is lubri
cation. For without a protecting film of
oil that never fails, parts wear quickly and
power is wasted.
The OilPuIl is doubly protected by its system
of Dual Lubrication. A pump, tested to work
under 2000 pounds pressure, forces oil, drop
by drop, to the vital bearings of the engine.
From these parts the surplus oil works down
into the crank case. Here the connecting
rods churn it into a heavy mist which com
pletely envelops the interior of the engine.
Other features of the OilPull which make pos
sible its consistently delivered "10-Year-Service"
are Triple Heat Control, Oil Cooling,
etc.

growing more popular every year. We have
complete information here and will gladly
explain any points.
