But put the horse on a track, make him run a half mile and he may prove all looks and nothing else. The same is true of Motor Oil! Looks, Color and Extravagant Claims Mean Nothing at All It s the test of actuaj performance that shows up poor horse and poor oil. Mona Motor Oil does not break down under the rnot intense heat. Try a Crank case full. Trunkenbolz Oil Co all enjoyed the fine social atmos-?' nhprp. and were entertained by a most delightful luncheon by the capable and genie! hostess. Boys Do Some Mischief. A number of boys, probably with a spirit of play, and also a chance that they were in a way malicious, for they did quite a bit of damage to a lot of lumber of A. F. Sturm. They went into his lumber shed to play last Sunday and disarranged the lumber piles also getting much mud on the lumber and left it in such a manner that it took Mr. Sturm two hours to re-arrange the materials. This might look like a joke to some who did it, but it cost Mr. Sturm two hours of hard work and left a good deal of his lumber muddy and dirty, thus causing him a financial loss as well. Visit the Home Folks. A number of the students of the state university, taking advantage of the Sunday and Mother's Day, came home to see mother and the other members of the family and enjoy the day at their homes.

The bonfire had been started, the students said, in protest against what they termed the introduction of Vhired snoopers" at fraternity houses. They said that watchmen, acting un der orders of the buildings and grounds department, had been halt ing students at night and searching them for hip flasks. The size of the bonfire, built of lumber and fed . by gasoline drained from student automobiles, alarmed residents of the neighborhood, who called police and firemen.
