each child influenced by different
forces whether persuasive or forceful. !
It is no wonder that there was dis-:
agreement between the two brothers,
but the wonder is that they made as
good men as they did.
This is the condition which sent
Jacob away from home to the home j
of his brother. Jacob watchful, re-j
sourceful, and ever looking for an ad-'
vantageous point. He first fell in love
with his lovely cousin, Rachel. He
watered her cattle and sheep for her
then told her who he was, kissed her
homesick, notwithstanding he was
seventy years of age. A great big
boy, and at the same time one of
the shrewdest of men in a trade. He
made an agreement with his uncle,
Laban. to work for him for seven
years for Rachel, as he wanted her for
his wife. Laban was a shrewd trader
as well as Jacob, and well did he
work that young westerner for these
seven vears. still thev seemed but a
short time considering the great love
which Jacob bore for Rachel.
The seven years were fulfilled and
they brought a tragedy in his life.
He had not thought of the practice
of the east, that the elder daughter
should marry before the younger, and
while he knew and respected Leah,
the elder, he was not in love with her,
she was probably as good a girl, but
not the lovable one that Rachel was.
She was a different type, both as to
disposition and in her personal char
acteristics, not so fair to look upon,
and with sore eyes, which made her
not so attractive.
All rrepared for the celebration of
the event, and the festivities over,
and at night when it was dark.
Rachel was taken away by a deceit
of Leban, and Leah, the sory eyed
girl, was placed in his tent, she being
priv3 to the scheme and pretending
that she was the beloved Rachel, but
the morning revealed that Jacob had
a wife whom, he had not thought he
had married, and not the one which
he had thought he was marrying.
This was in return for the craftiness
should the country appeal to them
very strongly, they may conclude to
make their home there.

the custom is for the elder daughter
to marry first, and also that he might
have Rachel, but consummation of
the wedding could not occur for a
week. Then in the end he had two
wives instead of one, and wives a
plenty at that. Then he was given
by Leban a hand maid for Leah,
named Zilpah, and also given for
Rachel a maid Billah, this making
him four women even if not four
wives.
He had to serve seven years more
for Rachel, which made fourteen

The Great Pyramid of Cheops at Gizeh consisted
of 2,300,000 blocks of stone averaging 40 cubic
feet. 6,848,000 tons of stone were transported
over many miles of road on vehicles with wooden
wheels and wooden axles. With the crude meth
ods of lubrication known to the Egyptians, this
meant innumerable axles worn out by friction
and wear.
The steel wheels, shafts and gears of modern
motors are similar in only this respect when
lubrication fails they are quickly destroyed.
Clean oil of high quality is your only protection.
Motor oils may look alike, but there is a big
difference in the way they behave in a motor
in their resistance to heat, in their ability to
maintain an unbroken cushion of oil in bearings
and over all moving parts and protect against
metal to metal contact and friction.
Polarine Oils are the highest quality motor oils
that over a generation of experience and the
most extensive manufacturing facilities have
been- able to produce. Use the right grade of
Polarine for your motor and it will stay powerful
and last a long time.
Make the Polarine Chart your lubrication guide.
t is the result of innumerable laboratory and
road service tests with all kinds of motors and all
kinds of oil.
Keep plenty of oil in the crankcase. Drain it
every 500 miles or as often as the manufacturer
of your car recommends and refill with the grade
of Polarine recommended for your car by the
Polarine Chart. Polarine is made in six grades
Polarine Light, Medium, Heavy, Special
Heavy, Extra Heavy and Polarine "F" for
Fords. Buy Polarine where you buy Red Crown

Crown Pump and the Polarine Sign.
