THE MODERN MOTOR OIL
BETTERS MOTOR PERFORMANCE
The effect of heat and cold on the body of an oil
determines its "temperature-viscosity co-efficient."
In the new Polarine you get oil that varies less be
tween zero and the operating heat of the motor
than any old process oil.
This means that at all seasons of the year and under
all operating conditions, the new Polarine gives more
uniform and more dependable protection to your
motor.
#»' ,
You get better motor performance and less motor
wear. Because the new Polarine deposits less than
half as much carbon as old process oils, compression
varies less and the oil stays clean longer.
In every respect a premium quality oil — the new
Polarine is sold at no advance in price.

O’NEILL TO HAVE A CREAMERY
Thomas Brennan has closed nego
tiations for machinery for an up-to
date creamery in his building on
Douglas street, next door to the Deep
Rock filling station.
This is an advantage the commun
ity has needed since the McGinnis
creamery burned down twelve years
ago. Holt county is destined to be
come a dairy county, and there is
nothing that combines the interest of
the comunity in dairying more than
a creamery. It is only with a cream
ery that the quality and quantity of
cream may be raised. As to price, it
stands to reason that it is cheaper to
store and ship approximately 25
pounds of butter than it is to ship a
ten gallon can of cream to a distant
point to be churned into 5 pounds of
butter. There is less transportation
charge, better sanitation and every
thing in general, all around.
Mr. Brennan has gone into this
venture and has put thousands of
dollars into equipment to benefit the
community and himself. He wants
you to give him a try and he guar
antees to please. He will not be open
for about two weeks yet.

CURRENT COMMENT
FROM WASHINGTON
o-o
An epidemic of partial paralysis
prevails in certain sections of the
country, and the malady is laid to
jamaica ginger, because some of the
paralytics drank that substance and
fell sick afterward. It is easy to be
led into incorrect diagnosis by con
fusing sequence with cause and
effect. Current conclusions may ac
complish good by putting an end to
jamaica ginger libations, but in the
absence of more light, candid medical
men must admit that they can tell
neither what caused the disease in
the past, nor how it can be averted
in the future.
Some months ago, a public official
was convicted of accepting a bribe,
and now a jury has decided that the
man charged with giving him a bribe
did not do so. Such a state of affairs
sets the head of a layman in a whirl
and brings to mind the definition of
law as the last guess of the highest
guesser in power.
Chicago police say that most of,
| the crimes in the Windy City are j
committed by non-residents. Crim
I inals flock to the green pastures
I where the croping is easy and good,
and it is up to the force to explain
why thugs prefer to pocket their
blackjacks and emigrate from San
Antonio and San Francisco to the
banks of Lake Michigan.
Russia has put a stop to the pro
duction of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” It
is just possible fhat we have been too
harsh and hasty in our condemnatie/
of Soveit rule.
An insurance company notes that
accidental death due to auto disasters
is the single form of accidental mor
tality that is on the increase. With
two million more machines in the
country this year than last, there is
no chance that conditions will be bet
tered in the near future. The fact
simply is that highways laid out for
ox-cart travel are being called upon
to bear a thousand fold increase in
vehicular traffic, moving at express
train speed. Until a new form of
road is devised, or unless the rule
that two bodies cannot occupy the
same space at the same time is abro
gated, the motor car, like David, will
kill its tens of thousands.

Prince of Wales is disturbed by no

Heroes of traffic and travel occupy
the front pages of the papers. Dr.
Eckener is here to receive a gold
medal from the National Geographic
Society, and thousands cheer Admir
al Byrd as he sails homeward from
New Zealand. There is neither medal
nor applause for Charles A. Bell of
Mansfield, Ohio, and his name is un
familiar, but let this paragraph
bring his faithfulness and the dan
gers of his calling to notice for a
brief moment before he is eternally
forgotten. A railroad engineer, he
stuck to his post on the 24th of
March, while the passenger train
which he was pulling slid to safety
over his dead body, the momentum
checked by the brakes that he had
applied.
