Gives move mileage and

Because Red Crown Gasoline is a straight
distilled, all-refinery gasoline that produces a
uniformly powerful explosive mixture.
Jiecau.se the low boiling point factors in this
mixture ignite instantly.
Because the mixture burns quickly and com
pletely every drop of Red Crown Gasoline'is
converted into alert, energetic power. It means
more miles per gallon of fuel and more satisfac
tion per mile.
Use Polarine for efficient lubrication. Keeps
all the power behind the pistons and minimizes
your carbon troubles.
Look for the Red Crown Sign.

"Brings Increasing Travel
?Acc:dcnts at Railroad Cross
' " incs Should Brins Caution
O -
F"n T7,niKday's Daily.
Disastrous aftidents caused by
junior cars beinjc struck by trains at
highway prade crossings are of such
frequent occurrence as to shock news
paper readers throughout the length,
iMi. I breadth t" the land. Kvery day
brines accounts of more lives sacri
)if d in such accidents. Last year
over 4.000 men, women and children,
most of theirt riding in automobiles,
were killed or injured by being
f-truck by trains. Strange to say, it
happened in many instances that au
t niobilists in their efforts to get
across, ran into the sides of passing
trains. This seems like the limit
f f hanee-taking.
It is high time that solemn notice
be taken of the frightful lack of care
on the part of drivers that leads to
iif of those sad occurrences.
Sometimes a driver nearing a cros
sing, sees an approaching train. He
cannot always Jell whether it is a
freight or a fast passenger. Maybe
the driver decides to take a chance.
He d:es not know that a fast train
An run th" quarter mile from the
whistling post to the crossing in fif
teen seconds. The average niai: is
unaware of till- fact. How often it
happens that the driver, trusting to
his burst of speed, or in a last ef
fort to save himself, has engine trou
ble or is seized with panic and so
loses his life.
Far too many children and youths
of immature age are allowed to rim
motor cars. On one of the railroads
recently, a party of seven, boys, the
oldest of whom, a Tad of fourteen,
was driving', had their machine
struck on a crossing. Four of the
boys were killed on right, all of the
others were injured.
Somebody committed a crime when
those youngsters were trusted with
that car. In Iowa, the state law
provides that a motor car driver shall
be at least 15 years of age.
Drivers know the fatal danger of
being struck by a train of cars, why
will they not remember that when
thev approach tracks that must be
crossed, their personal safety, in fact
their very lives depend upon the
amount of care they use.
Certainly a man's life is worth
more than a little effort required to
save it. Kvery day millions of peo
ple watch out for the safety of their
money and other property. That i
proper enough but it is unfortunately
a fact that lots of people act as if
they did not value their lives as
highly as they do their cash.

which require any Internal treat:

Considerable Acid Soil in State
Tests made by the College of Agri
culture show considerable acid soil
in the eastern third of Nebraska.
Acid areas have been found as far
west as Dawson county. In the
past soil acidity has not been recog
nized as a very important problem in
Nebraska. It seems, however, to
need more attention. One instance
was recently found in Richardson
county where alfalfa seeded a year
ago last fall had failed to grow, al
though a good stand was secured and
the soil was apparently fertile. Tests
run on this field showed it to be so
acid that liming would be necessary
in order to grow alfalfa successfully.
In another instance sweet clover had
been seeded three times without se
curing a stand. This field was found
to be strongly acid. Of ten samples
tested in Cass county every one was
acid. The College of Agriculture has
under way a thorough investigation
of acid soils and will test free of
charge any samples of soilsent in.
Each sample should amount to at
least a pint and be made up by mix
ing together portions taken from the
cultivated layer from at least five
places in the field.
To Sell Wool Crop Co-Operatively
Plans have been made to co-op
eratively dispose of the wool crop
in Nebraska this year by storing it
in a Chicago warehouse and selling
it according to the demands of the
market. I,ocal farm bureaus and
the Nebraska Sheep Breeders and
Wool Growers association will co
operate in the work. ' The wool will
be assembled by counties and ship
ped in carload lots. This method
was used in Iowa last year with a
saving of $340,000 to the sheep men
of that state. Much of the Nebraska
wool last year was sold in co-operative
county sales, with a saving es
timated at $10,000.
Dipping Follows Shearing
Most sheep growers follow the
practice of dipping soon after shear
ing in order to get rid of ticks. It
is necessary to dip the lambs as well
as the ewes, because the ticks tend
to leave the older sheep for the
lambs. Many use an ordinary hog
dipping tank, if they have only a
few sheep. Others dip the lambs in
a barrel and wash tne ewes. A sman
water tank will also serve the pur
pose. It pays to do a good joo ana
do the job well and see that every
part of the animal il thoroughly
wet. Any standard good creosote
dip will do. An examination should
be made in a couple of weeks and if
ticks are found another dipping be
made. One good dipping is usually
sufficient.

Treatment of Common Colds
"If all who catch cold could be
persuaded to remain in bed for the
first twenty-four hours of such an
attack," says a well known physician,
there would be fewer cases drag
ging on with distressing symptoms
for weeks and often ending in some
more serious disease." To make r.ure
of a prompt recovery you should also
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

very much enjoyed by the ladies in
attendance.
At the noon hour the chapter was
entertained. at luncheon by the Social
Workers of the Methodist church 2t
the church parlors which had by the
skillful hands of the ladies of the
church society been transformed into
a shower of beauty that was a de
light to the eye, potted ferns and
plants forming the main portion ot
the decorative scheme. Here the ta
bles had been prepared in a most ar
tistic manner, the P. K. O. colors of
yellow and white being used in the
decorations, yellow cut flowers with
the soft glow of the yellow candles
and the showy napery forming the
combination of the colors of the soci
ety and with the glittering silver
and china forming- a most pleasing
and efficient manner by the young la
dies of the Social Workers.
At the conclusion of the luncheon
the ladies enjoyed some time very
pleasantly in a review of the P. K. O.
work and the purposes of th' society

Elizabeth Travis, a former officer of
the grand chapter of Nebraska; II. G
McCliisky who responded to the toast
"All Rainbows" and whose toast was
received with the greatest of delight
liv the ladies. Mrs. A. V. Hunter

poses of the P. H. O. which close 1 a
most pleasant period of pleasure and
profit and left with the members
deeper appreciation of the good that
this sisterhood has accomplished
among the membership of the so

It's the quality rof the lubricating oil

and minimizes wear, v
But oil should do more should keep
compression tight at all engine heats and
maintain an unbroken seal between pis-
tons and cylinders so that fuel develops
maximum power.
Polarine meets all these requirements.
It cushions bearings and moving parts
against both wear and noise and main
tains a gas-tight seal in the cylinders
under all conditions of engine operation

pleasant and less expensive.
