AI Simiih Unable to Visit Coolidge Early This Weak Trcrident Catches Six-Pound Pike and Fine Trout; Baited Own Hook and Removed Fish. Paul Smith's, N. Y.. July 13. Gov ernor Smith of New York, has found it impossible to accept. the invitation of President Coolidge to visit him ac White Pine camp early this week, rnd as a result the invitation was re newed Monday night for Friday. The invitation was extended by Mr. Coolidge for the governor and Mrs. Smith to have luncheon with l ini and Mrs. Coolidge any day of this week, but although transmitted last Saturday was not received by ttie governor, who was out of Albany. Ilafty telephone calls resulted be tween the secretaries to the two ex ecutives during which it was said that engagements of long standing would make it difficult for the gover nor to accept on the days specified, and the outcome was a renewed in vitation for the latter date. One result is to make certain a later departure of the president for his boyhoad home in Plymouth, Vt., the general view here, in the absence of a formal announcement having been that he probably planned to leave Thursday. Departure on Satur day now appears the earliest moment Mr. Coolidge can leave for that visit which may keep him away from White Pine camp for five days. Negotiations on the visit of the New York governor were carried oni during a day devoted almost exclu-l lively by Mr. Coolidge to fishing. i-.vidtncing a uDhy the Stage "was late Dirt and poor lubrication the axle spindle worn thin a bad road and a heavy bump a broken -axle danger and delay. Same with an automobile, poor lubrication spells trouble especially with the motor. If it does not get protective lubrication it won't run well for long. It will get noisy and riding will be uncomfortable. It will lose pep and power. It will soon wear out. The best oil is the cheapest in the end. It is the best guard against friction and wear. So it pays to buy Polarine the highest quality motor oil that years of experience and the most extensive mami facturing facilities have been able to pro duce. Polarine resists the effecta' of heat, resists . dilution, keeps down carbon troubles to ,the lowest point, provides a continuous oil cushion that prevents friction. , ' yse. the grade of Polarine recommended foTyour motor by the oil engineers and automotive experts who drew up the Po larine Chart and you take the first step towards protective lubrication. Drain the dirty, diluted oil out after every five or six hundred miles, or as frequently as the manufacturer of your car recommends. It will save you inconvenience and repair expense. You can't safely economize on oil. Polarine is made in six grades Folarine Ligh t, Medium, Heavy, Special Heavy, Extra Heavy and Polarine (F" for Fords a grade to provide protective lubrication for every make and type of automobile motor.
