thus learn of the distribution of the
money you pay? Perhaps all do not,
but those Who do will notice that the
school tax is nearly one-half of tho
total tax paid by North Platte property
owners, and in some of the country
precints it is more than half. No good
citizen will, however, complninof taxes
for school purposes, no other invest

tory returns.

BUICK MOTOR CARS
Averugo 400 Miles to tho Gallon ol Oil.
And many owners of the new series Buick enrs arc getting oven better
results. This is proof of tho superiority of the Buick oiling system nnd
of tho high efficiency of tho Buick cooling. It is double the avcrogo
per gallon of oil obtained in other enrs. You cannot got economy in
oil consumption without the proper oiling system; nor mnximum econo
my out of any oiling system unless tho motor cools properly. Tho
amount of oil pumped is preportionnl to tho needs of tho motor. The
faster tho motor runs tho more oil supplied. Teis menns perfect lubri
cation under every condition of running. Tho oiling system cannot be
como clogged up. The minute anything obstructs tho passngo of oil
through any one lead, the pump generates a high pressure sufficient to
dislodge the obstruction without injuring the system. Clean cool oil is
always being furnished to the working parts of tho motor. Tho sight
feed on tho dash shows the exnet amount of oil being delivered. As the
oiling system is the most vital part of your t'litire automobile, it will be
well for you to investigate the system used on the car you intend to
buy.
