Your buildings are depreciating to a much greater
extent from lack of paint than any gain which can pos
sibly come thru waiting for lower prices of material and
labor. We have come clean on this readjustment busi
ness and our prices are as low in proportion as those
prevailing on farm products today.
The protection of your building (interior and ex
terior) by painting is a matter of great importance and
is your cheapest and best insurance. Then why wait
longer, when putting the matter off will cost you more
in depreciation than you can even hope to save?

rendered, there was a period devoted

Will Vote on Dissolution
After having tried out the consoli
Jated school proposition, for which
i large majority were in favor at
ho beginning, the school patrons
oinprising this district, known as
.'-7. after discussing the matter
iretty thoroughly, have decided to
,ote on the matter of dissolution. A
new plat has been made and it is
seemingly agreeable to the greater
number. The proposition will be
voted upon at a special election call
ed for June l"th, between the hours
of 7 and 10 o'clock p. m. With the
defeat of the bond issue by which
improved school room facilities could
have been constructed, the best solu
tion seems to be through dissolution
of the district, which is not only too
J large for the present district 1 ? 1 1 en
tailed ;i considerable expense for the
transportation of the pupils to and
from their studies, and which could
only be met from a larger appropria
tion for school purposes.
To Observe Memorial Day
Memorial day is to be fittingly
observed by the people of the Wa
bash and Murdock cominunit i ac
cording to plans under way at the
time of our visit the last of the wnk,
on Sunday, at what i known as the
Wabah cemetery where are buried
many of the friends and loved ones
of Murdock citizens. This cemetery
is always kept in pood condition,
and is in excellent shape for Memor
ial day visitors. A program in keep
ing with the occasion has been pre
pared, including an address by Kev.
W. A. Taylor.
The School Situation
With the closing of the present
school year -the only one under the
consolidated plan--the school situa
tion for nt year is somewhat un
certain, depending upon how the
voters may pass upon the dissolution
matter now occupying the center of
the stage in Murdock school circles.
So it is highly probable there will
be a return to the old order of things
again next year. During the time it
has been conducted as a consolidat
ed school excellent work has been
lone and pupils have realized the
advantages gained. The main objec
tion has been that of the cost of
transportation of pupils to and from
their studies. However, the students
are now released for the summer
and are not worrying much about
the prospects for next year. On ac
count of the uncertainty of the sit
uation no contracts have been ten
dered teacher-; for the coming year,
and this will be one (f the first mat
ters to occupy the attention of the
new district directors when dissolu
tion is effected.

Are You Wasting Gasoline
through the Needle Valve?
Why gasoline quality is the determining factor
You can't see whether the gasoline comes into your cylinders as a
fine nrst cr as a heavy spray. Vet that is the thing which largely
determines the power and milc."ie you get from gasoline.
The nature cf the gasoline spray governs these things the power
of the explosion, the completeness of combustion, the amount of
gasoline for each piston stroke and the speed with which carbon,
will collect and the lubricating oil become diluted.
u & js a a
Unless your gasoline vaporizes
readily in all weathers, rr.d un
less it is uniform, you cannot r-3-just

maximum power and at the tame
