Many buy gasoline from the nearest pump, believing all gasolines are alike, When their motors lose pep they blame the motor, or the kind of gasoline they bought last. That's not quite fair, beeause the quality of gasoline you use has a lot to do with the tray your motor behaves. Some gasolines contain sulphur compounds which attack metal and destroy the perfect fit of the parts. Unless scientific refining com pletely removes it, tar collects on valves, clogs piston rings and heavily coats the combustion chasnherandtheexhaustmanifoldwithcr.rbon. That's why many motors lose much of their power after a few thousand miles of operation why low grade, cut quality gasolir e often proves the most expensive fuel you can use. Balanced RED CROWN GASOLINE gives quick starts and all the power and m'Jeage your motor is capable of on refined gasoline. It contains no sulphur or tar to injure your motor or cut down its mechanical efficiency. Clean, high power, balanced Red Crown Gasoline is the safe road to cheap power and mileage.

Here is compla cent, cocksure youth, educated and eager to set the world buzzing with 'noble deeds and remunerative, we are v,.nt to say. Leave them alone and they will come down to earth after a time. Hut the graduates of America's fecund universities in the Year of Our Lord 1931 are in a different posi tion. One suspects that, no matter how complete their education, they trust be aware that the world is not """-S " "a any too eageriy. t l tarlJ' aJl J them expect a livel rlooa- ana lulle "aturany. uut tne J world they step into is not the world of the Coolidge bull market. It is a chastened, harassed world of mvriad troubles and disciplined patience. For eager youth it is a hostile world. The graduates of this month and next should therefore be seen through different eyes. Instead of amused dis- of us. But even so, there must be a tonic quality in the experience of chagrin that awaits many of them If the shock is great on learning several outsiders to invade the charm that they are the victims of collegi- 'ed circles of golfers contesting for ate overprduction, their joys will be i the British amateur championship. (the greater when they uo come thrue say outsiders only as a term to i tne fire of joo-seeking and emerge a bit singed, but richer in their un- del standing of a matter-f-fact eco- nomic world. Hail. then, to the graduate! May ,none of them starve, but may they jail learn clearly that bread and but tr is a chief concern, jeloister of the college. T00 MUCH WHEAT The fundamental trouble with the world wheat situation, as pointed out by the American delegates to the London conference, is thai the world is now raising more wheat than it can ecnsume. When Russia went out of the export market in the World War, the United States. Canada, Ar gentina, Australia and India increas ed ther production to meet the de ficiency. After the war this process con tinued, due largely to the rapid mo torization of the wheat larms. As a result, according to the figures of the department of agriculture, world wheal production outside of Russia in 1930-31 was 2S per cent ahead of the 1920-21 production, while tut consumption had inctea.-ed only 21 per cent in the same period. A bur densome surplus accumulated. At the same time Russia began coming back, and is now producing a billion bushels or more a year. With such a production she can ex port from 100 to 200 million bushels, thus contributing to the surplus thai is depressing the world markets for wheat today. There is only one remedy for such a situation, and that is the produc tion of less wheat. Farmers cannot Icontinue to produce indefinitely at a it i : . i. . ....j l It JSS li S II I CHr- f 1 1 LJ I II t - M 1 illl i -- the land where production costs are high. But this condition cannct be brought about by government action 'except in countries like Russia where there is a dictatorship. In the Unit ed States individual farmers, or vol untary organizations of farmers, will have to decide how to meet the stub born facts of the world wheat sur plus. :o: TRUE AMATEURISM Douglas Fairbanks was only one of describe those better known in other fields and not to characterize the quality of their golf. As a matter of jfact. these gate crashers gave a good I account of themselves. Despite an iadoring feminine gallery, Fairbanks was but one down at the finish. Bom- outside the bardier Wells returned to his pugi listic form by taking the count at the hands of Bernard Darwin, golf writer and. we believe, a descendant lof Charles Darwin. Wells, renowned in boxing for the brittleness of his jaw, carried Darwin to the nineteenth hole before bowing in defeat. Per haps he should have become a golfer in the first place. Sir Harold Gillies, famous pbysi-.ian. won his second round match from the erstwhile Brit ish sensation. William Sutton. Inci dentally. Sir Harold played in his first amateur championship tourna ment 24 years ago. We realize that the ordeal of cham pinship golf is such as to weed out all such interlopers in favor of the hard-bitten campaigners who. ama teur or professional, devote most cf their time to pursuit of the game. Yet we like to dally with the idea that some time, in some tournament, a movie actor anil an ironworker, say, should kick over the dope bucket and appear resplendent in the finalr match. What a blow that would be for the Joneses, Voigts. Moes. Evans es and Johnstons who monopolize the headlines and the cups. -:o:- WORLD WHEAT CONFERENCE Delegates of eleven wheat-exporting countries are meeting in London to find a way out of the dilemma of surplus wheat production. Canadian. American and Russian members of the group have the whip hand, and of these the Americans are in a pe culiarly strong position, since Amer can wheat has been kept out of world market almost entirely this year, and a change of policy is inevitable. No radical scheme to limit pro duction or even exports is contem plated, such as is being tried by su gar, copper and coffee producers. The view of most delegates is that faulty distribution of wheat is chiefly re- Eponsible for low prices, and that con tinued world overproduction is un likely. Certainly i; is clear that Rus sian wheat, which has done most to depress prices, will not continue to be a menace, since Russia needs her wn wheat as soon as her greater need for a favorable trade balance is recti fied. It seems probable that the London conference can do little more than recommend better distribution of wheat crops. The real work of re ducing the surplus and stimulating prices must come from the action of individual countries and small blocs. At Geneva plans are on foot to ab sorb the wheat of Eastern Europe j into France and near-by countries. America still is working on the prob lem of reducing acreages and arti ficially maintaining prices. Russia UNABLE TO EAT "I Buffvd such great distress from indi frestion that I was unable to eat. I houptit ZINSEP and immediately obtained wonder ful relief," says J. K. Reeder, Falls Citv. Nebr. End vrur stomach misery with ZINSEP. It a GUARANTEED, jvt all druggists. 18 in time will give up her policy of 'exporting at low prices for immed iate cash benefits. Purchasing power of China and Japan and other eon Isuming countries will improve with general trade recovery. These independent but related fac tors must be our reliance in the sta bilization of wheat, rather than any j spectacular world-wide scheme to limit exports or production. :o: Henchmen of Al Capone seized 41 I saloons and speakeasies in Chicago jlast week, tossed out proprietors who : belonged to rival gang, and took com plete charge. As a result. Chicago is now anticipating another carni val of bloodshed. It la too bad the Windy City gangsters cannot be In duced to fully mobilize their forces, move beyond the corporation limits, and fight a finish battle. : o : "Speed Holman died a a he lived thrillingly." This bit of passing comment occured in the news story of the crash and death of Charles Holman. famous daredevil filer, in Omaha about a week ago. NOTICE To: Elva L. Baxter, non resident.
