has been a staunch believer through

WARNS ABOUT FAKE BELLS
Kansas City, Mo. William II.
Davenport, chief of the United
States secret service here, warned
merchants and others handling large
mounts of money to be on guard
against accepting counterfeit federal
reserve bank notes which he said are
being circulated in Kansas City and
nearby towns. Mr. Davenport said
the series of "twenties" issued by
the federal reserve bank of Chicago
was being counterfeited and that the
fake money was a fairly good Imita
tion. ' !

T never did believe what Conoco Germ
Processed oil would do; not until on
Essex owner, with 25,000 miles on his
speedometer, asked me to check his motor
and put in new parts where necessary. It
surely surprised me; clearance of pistons
was only four ! thousandths; of bearings
only three ! thousandths of an inch.
Stop Cruel Motor Wear . . Escape its Painful Cost
Don't Wait Another Day to Drain and Refill
With Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil
To a motor, lack of lubrication is
cruelty indeed. You arc too "humane"
to permit it, if only you knew the truth.
But motors suffer in silence till costly
damage is done. Then you pay ... and
pay ... and pay.
50 of motor wear occurs in the
moments following a cold start. Ordi
nary oil drains back into the crankcase
and leaves the motor dry, till it is
pumped back up again. Not so, with
Conoco's hidden quart. It stays up in
the motor and never drains away.

Jobless Rail
roaders Would
Take Over Line
Letter to State Railway Commis
sion Suggests a Profit
Sharing Plan.
A . group of unemployed Omaha
railroad men Tuesday offered to take
over operation of the Coburn-Wynot
branch of the Minneapolis & Omaha
railroad on a "profit-sharing basis."
The offer was made in writing to
Chairman Randall of the state rail
way commission.
The branch, whose assets include
one locomotive and a combination
baggage and express car, will be sold
for salvage unless a buyer appears
before April 15, Carl R. Gray, vice
president, announced last Saturday.
The branch line cost 953 thou
sand dollars. Gray estimates its!
junking value at 105 thousand dol
lars. It has recently been operated
"at the heaviest loss of any branch
of the road," he says, and permission
to abandon it has been obtained.
Officials at Omaha Tuesday were
surprised at the "profit-sharing" of
fer and said they had no idea what
sort of financing arrangements the
unemployed men contemplated.
The Associated Press reported the
men offered to solicit business from
people along the line.
EXTENDS GOLD LIMIT TIME
Chicago. Notification that the
federal reserve board has extended
until March 27 the deadline for the
return of hoarded gold was received
by officials of the Seventh federal
reserve district from Washington.
The original time limit for redeposit
of the metal expired last Friday
night, but ocicials announced they
would accept it without penalty un
til further notice. The day's tele
gram was regarded as setting a defi
nite deadline. The telegram follows:
"The federal reserve board has ex
tended until March 27 the final date
In regards to gold. It is requested
that you prepare and forward to the
board after March 27 as complete as
can be made from the banks in your
district a list of all persons who have
withdrawn gold from banks 6lnce
Feb. 1, 1933, and who have not re-
deposited it In those banks as of
March 27."

The Germ Proces (exclusive Conoco patent) impart!
to this motor oil that peculiar obilrtv to penetrate and com
bine with metal surfaces. Oi the first filling about on
quart will "hide" itself up in your motor precious work
ing parts. This hidden quart n-c-v-e-r drains away. It
becomes a part of the motor itself, worth it weight in gold.
MECHANIC SCHAFFNER REPORTS ON DESCOVERY:
"This owner said he had used Conoco Germ
Processed oil since the car was new. I have
overhauled many another Essex at 25,000
mites, which has not used this oil, and found
tlie wear 50 to 607 greater. Now I
recommend Conoco Germ Processed Oil to
my friends, and have changed to it in my
own car." Elder Schaffner, Highland, III.
This is proved. Even with the crank
case empty, due to accident, users of
this oil have driven many miles,
without damage, on the hidden quart
alone.
Isn't it smart and thrifty to have
a hiddcn quart up in the parts of
your motor, where you are sure it
cannot fail? It is so simple to be safel
so foolhardy to be in doubt. Tend to
it today. Go now, drain end refill
with the hidden-quart oil. Do it for
safety's sake.
