Dual
Lubrication
and other features of
OIL PULL
The Cheapest Farm Power
YOU want to be sure of several things
when you select a tractor. One is lubri
cation. For without a protecting him of
oil that never fails, parts wear quickly and
power is wasted.
The OilPull is doubly protected by its system
of Dual Lubrication. A pump, tested to work
under 2000 pounds pressure, forces oil, drop
by drop, to the vital bearings of the engine.
From these parts the surplus oil works down
into the crank case. Here the connecting
rods churn it into a heavy mist which com
pletely envelops the interior of the engine.
Other features of the OilPull which make pos
sible its consistently delivered "10-Year-Service"
are Triple Heat Control, Oil Cooling,
etc.
Find out about this "proved" tractor that is
growing more popular eVery year. We have
complete information here and will gladly
explain any points.

BOOZE FLOWS
H 11L.
THIS MORNING
Still Also Smashed Under Direction
of District Court Crowd Wit
nesses the Destruction
From TluirF.lay's Daily
To the thirsty ones there was a
trying BCene this morning when the
booze that was taken in the raids
Saturday at the Covert place and
also at the Cruze home at Louisville,
was sent splashing on its way to
ward the Missouri river via the
sewer route.
These cases being disposed of, the
booze was no longer, required as evi
dence and Sheriff E. P. Stewart and
Deputy Sheriff W. R. Young proeed
ed to smash the bottles and empty
the contents into the sewer at the
corner of Fourth and Main streets
in view of those who cared to gather
for the destruction and in the pres
ence cf Judge Begley of the district
court and County Judge Allen J.
Beeson. The law provides that the
destruction of the liquor he witnessed
and certified to by the trial judge
and this was carried out to the let
ter. The still taken at the DeRoy Cov
ert home was also smashed by the
sheriff and destroyed under the di
rection of the district court and is
the first still destroyed by district
court order in this- county.
This city last night between 10
11 o'clock received a visit from the
gowned and hooded members of the
Knights of the Klu Klux Klan, the
first time that the order has ap
peared on the streets in their re
galia as the prelude to the adoption
ceremonies of the secret society.
At the time the cars bearing the
Kluxers made their visit there were
a large number on the streets and
the occasion aroused the createst
interest is the cars made their way
through the business part of the city.
The pilot car that headed the pro
cession bore an illuminated American
flag and on the sides of the car were
the members of the order in their
white gowns and the cars also filled
with the members and the candidates
for adoption into the order that has
been creating such an intense in
terest in the last two years in the
north and which claims a member
ship of 2.000.000.
Outside of the sounding of the
horns on the cars there was no dem
onstration and as the cars rolled
up high school hill they were follow
ed by many other cars of the citizens
who followed to witness the open air
ceremony of the adoption of a class
into the order.
The scene of the adoption was in
a large open field just west of the
Missouri Pacific tracks and south of
the Oak Hl!l cemetery and where a
huge flaming cross sent its nr'ssage
over a large area as the cross was
visable from the north part of the
city as it glowed against the storm
clouds massing in the Vest. The
road in the vicinity of the field was
parked with cars filled with sight
seers and tlfose who desired to view
the work of initation. The num
ber that were received was quite
large and while th distance from
the spectators prevented the public
from hearing the administering of
the oath, the other ceremonies were
fuite plainly visable to those who
had gathered. The ceremonies
were guarded by Klansmen so that
the public could approach only a
certain distance and was carried out
in a quiet and orderly manner.
The Klan members participating
Were reported as being from Lincoln
and there departure was as swift
and mysterious as their coming.
