SOUTHWEST BREEZES

E. E. Young loaded out some
beeves Monday and planned to take
in the sale at the Atkinson pavil
Jjon Tuesday.
What would those who advocate
abolishing capital punishment sug
gest for the fiend who kidnapped
and slew the Mattson boy ?
4 -
Tom Baker took to his bed Fri
day and for a few days was dis
tressingly ill, but was on his feet
again the first of the week.
A good milk cow keeled over at
the James ranch a day last week,
since which time the grunting fra
ternity in the hog lot have had
fresh beef at their pleasure.
George Cuttler, residing on the
old Roblyer place, went the winding
way to Amelia Friday and return,
that their daughter, attending
school in the village of the flowing
wells, might spend the week-end,
at home.
If it isn’t one thing it is another.
Now' the public is critical because
the president has put his son in the
secretary’s job at ten thousand a
year. Should the sovereign citizens
of America confer the authority
vested in the chief executive in this
humble pilgrim I would give sons
and daughters and uncles and aunts
and all of any tribal connection
first choice of the desirable jobs.
“Farm to market” roads in the
southwest are plugged with snow
that effectually excludes traffic.
^ Winding a snake trail thru pas
tures and meadows permits the
necessary outlet to highway 11.
Most of us stay at home, absorbing
the warmpth and cheer of the fam
ily fireside—and like it. The snow
will provide some moisture and
encourages families to stay at home
and get acquainted.
p Four horses hooked to a hay
wagon get across the snow-blown
mile from the James ranch to the
“comer” about once a week. Jess
has hoofed it across a time or two
to pick up his mail, the only way
to get it these days being to pass
it on from neighbor to neighbor.
Of the two mail routes passing our
door, neither carrier has been able
to get thru so far this month. Mail
for this neighborhood is left at the
Dexter store on highway 11.
At 17 or so below along about
sunrise, no wind, the hoar frost
spread like glittering gems and
the crunching snow under the feet,
the north pole all but visible thru
the clear calm morning as the land
scape in its robe of ermine stands
out in gleaming white for miles
around—that is winter at break of
day down here in the southwest.
An hour spent out poking hay to
cattle and other barnyard ministra
tions gives a taste for something
more trustworthy for breakfast
than a cup of coffee and a puff of
smoke.

READY-MADE gasoline
is ordinary gasoline from refinery. Keady-made
gasoline is refined from crude oil, which has
only so much light, fast starting material in
it. That’s all there is, there isn’t any more.
TAILOR-MADE gasoline
is "ready-made” plus Virgin gasoline. Virgin
gasoline is made from nature’s gas. It is light,
and stable. Added to Skelly refinery Aromax,
it gives the fast starting that yon want.

We'll Leave !« Up to You
DO YOU like to make decisions? Here is the proposi
tion! Ready-made refinery gasoline is pretty much
alike. It can't be changed a great deal. But weather
changes. Skelly adds to refinery-made Aromax varying
amounts of Virgin gasoline at 24 tailoring points.
This is made, not from oil, but from nature's own gas.
Skelly uses up to 38 per cent of this Virgin gnsoline.
It is tuned to the weather, to give same fast start every
where. Which is the better buy-each costs the same
-"ready-made” or Tailor-Made? Skelly leaves the
decision up to you.
