British Army
Drafts a Lot of
Nebraska Mules
English Major Says This State
Has the Best Animals in
the World.
Six hundred Nebraska mules.
gathered in this state alone, which
have been drafted into the British
army, left yesterday in thirty cars
from a concentration point at Mis
souri Valley, la., for New York City
where they will 'start November 2
for service in Egypt and India.
Frank Simpson, exporter of mules
who lives on a farm north of Flor
ence will accompany the shipment.
British officers under Major Gordon
put the mules through a rigid ex
amination before they were pur
chased in every corner of the state.
"Big Bill" Simpson, representative
of an Omaha milling company, sup
plied 1 hundred tons of mixed feed
for rations en route.
Nebraska mules are the best in
the world, the British officers testi
fied. Requirements for these army
animals which - are used for artil
ery and pack purposes call for young
sound stock of proper conformation,
about fourteen . hands high. One
hundred will be unloaded at Port
Said, Egypt. Five hundred will be
unloaded at Karachi, India, from
where they will be sent to mountain
areas in the interior. A large num
ber of the mules were purchased on
the South Omaha market following
rigid inspections.
The British army first came into
general ptntaet with the American
mule during the world war. Major
Gordon related. They endeared
themselves, to the British soldlers.
The British are ' now - replacing
horses in their remount stations with
mules wherever possible, the visiting
officer said. - ' ' - r
As prospective warriors, the mules
were given "shots.'" not in the arm
but In the neck. Each was branded
with the British broad arrow, and
with number on -the hoof.- The

Red Crown is
fctl MX B iESOf
Just as the Standard Oil Company of Nebraska was the
pioneer in furnishing petroleum products of standard
quality to the people of this State, so its Red Crown
Gasoline has always held its lead among motor fuels.
Don't blame your motor if it limps and balks when
you feed it a strange brand of gasoline.
Run on Red Crown always, and you'll always have a
quick-starting, powerful motor. Red Crown is bal
anced just so as to insure it: Red Crown has a large
proportion of low boiling point fractions that are very
volatile: these highly volatile parts combine readily
with even cold air and give a mixture that ignites in
stantly and starts your motor turning over: instantly
again the heat of the motor vaporizes the higher boil
ing point fractions which develop maximum expansion
and power.
Prove this for yourself by standardizing on Red
Crown. Always, when you need gasoline, turn in at
a Red Crown sign. You will receive prompt, obliging
attention and full measure of gasoline that is balanced
for quick starts, power and economy.
