Polarine is "as up-to-date as the newest motor tbe oilier oil for long service and protective lubrication. Made from a selected grade of Wyoming crude oil, this superior quality western oil meets the most exacting requirements. Its price includes no premium to cover Ion transportation and high marketing costs. Its grades are determined with reference to climatic conditions in Nebraska.

At any rate, it has beer, pointed out that the planting of a spy in a prison involves the practice of forgery and misrep esentation by public ofl'isials. Wheth er Federal judges have been made parties to the system it is not known. Senator Borah asserts that a judge who signed false commitment papers would make himself liable to im peachment and removal. If the judges are tricked into believing the spies they commit to be actual and con fessed lawbreakers, then the agents of the department of justice are guilty of double fraud. The system of planting spies is so j ignoble that Attorney-General Mitch ell cannot order its discontinuance too soon. Also, he cannot be too soon in get ting rid of of Mrs. Willebrandt in the department of justice. She is a nuisance that the new administration cannot afford to carry. : : Odd and interesting, but probably not useful information: The recent ly impeached governor or Louisiana is a former student at the Univer sity of Oklahoma. : o : "ITncle Tom's Cabin" has been in films for some time, and now that we have the talkies any day we may be able to see and hear the Alpine Yod' 1- ers and the Swiss Dell Ringers. : o: The basin of the Colorado river covers about one-thirteenth of the aria of the United States.

The looseness and corruptness of Republican politics in the South are too much for the strict engineering mind of Mr. Hoover, and he has undertaken to change them. If this keeps on, it is not too much to believe that by the time Mr. Hoo ver has been in the White House four years the United States will be quite a different place than it was when he took charge of it three weeks ago. The country, we are quite sure, will applaud him. There has not bein such a man at the head of the Government since the United States assumed its present giant propor tions, and what real efficiency might do with it almost staggers the imag ination. The cost of government alone could be cheapened by many millions of dollars. Its enterprises, particularly such as are indicated by Mr. Hoover's interest in the inland waterways and his move to conserve the national oil resources, might eclipse those of the great industrial giants. We are not accustomed to think of government as we think of industry. We seem to feel that so many deterrents operate upon it, par ticularly in a democracy, that it is bound to be wasteful and inefficient. Not so Mr. Hoover. He apparently thinks the United States can be put on that high plane of efficiency which characterizes the operations of the United States Steel Corporation, the Ford Motor Company, and Gen eral Motors. His first moves indi cate a made-up mind. He has been the Government eight years and not a misplaced bolt or a squeaking joint has escaped him. The President's yacht at $300. 000 annually, the President's stables at $50,000 a year, the lapping Government departments at millions a year, the innumerable duplications in the Federal service, the sacred ibises of tradition and priv ilege, and the expensive and expan sive thousands of Federal clerks with nothing to do what an opportunity for an efficiency engineer! We as sume that Mr. Hoover will have a spring housecleaning such as Wash ington never knew. What a spectacle it is! Here are the New Republic and the Nation, neither of which supported Mr. Hoo ver in the presidential campaign, ap plauding him. Here are the great Democratic dailies, not one of which supported him in the presidential campaign, urging him to keep up the good work. After all. why should not the President be as sensible, as effi cient and as practical as the aver age good business man?. What Mr. Hoover has done in the matter of meeting the press has filled everybody with a glad surprise not equaled anywhere since stout Cortez A little foresight will mean a finer garden There is a surprise when you first taste the melting sweetness of Ferry's sweet corn. It is not ordi nary sweet corn by any means. Nor is a plump, red, smooth-skinned Ferry tomato like an ordinary to mato. Nor are the Ferry's Seeds that grow these like ordinary seeds. Remember that when you buy G(2SI3 Pure bred I Ferry's purebred Seeds, you buy inherited quality. Quality is bred into the seeds. A careful up-breeding of vegetables and flowers has been going on in the Ferry trial gardens for 51 years. This means that the Ferry's Seeds you can plant today came from parent plants and grandparent plants that were them selves purebred. Sixty thousand tests are made annually in the Ferry gardens for germination. Thousands oi other trials are made for size, form, color, resistance to disease. So far as is humanly pos sible, we determine that every crop will meet the Ferry standards. Ferry's Seeds are easy for ama teurs to make grow well, and are naturally the choice of professional gardeners. They are fresh for planting now, at the "store around the corner." No packet of Fern's Seeds is ever carried over by the dealer for sale the second season. Send for the Ferry's Seed Annual. It is more than a catalog. Address D. M. Ferry & Co., Dept. H, Detroit, Michigan. Your garden will have its best possible start with Ferry's purebred Seeds.

Countless thousands of Americans have felt that they could not begin to feel really con tented until they were living in a placV of their own. In planning on a home of your own. however, it might be well to pay a little heed to a bit of advice just issued by the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association. Empha sizing the importance of using good material in building a house, the as sociation points out that contentment is hard to attain in a house where the roof leaks, floors creak, plaster crumbles and cracks on walls and ceiling, windows stick and refuse to open and doors fit so poorly that there are always draughts of cold air in the living suarters. Those are the things one gets in a shoddily constructed house. When you plan a home, make sure that the materials used are of the best. Try ing to save money in that matter is false economy. :o:- HATCHING EGGS "Washington society is again stun ned. The girls, they tell us, had looked forward to the weekly cruises on the Presidential yacht and now that Mr. Hoover has ordered the May flower to be discarded, their tea parties on the placid Potomac have gone blooie! It's things like that that makes a haughty dame go Bolshevik." :n: FEEDERS DAY There is no slaci "business period for the merchant who advertises his eoods the year 'round.
