PLACES OF BEAUTY
Sometimes roses are born to blush
unseen and it is not always the most
prominent objects that are the most
attractive and this holds true in the
surroundings of the homes. Down in
the business section of the city, in
the block from Third to Fourth
street there are several families who
reside in apartments on the upper
floors of the "buildings and several of
these have taken up the beautifying
of the rear entrances to their homes
by a series of porch gardens. These
gardens are located on the roof of
one storied additions to the building
where are maintained the homes of
L. B. Egenberger, Col, M. A. Bates
and Mrs. Martha Peterson and the
ladles of these families have arrang
ed a very attractive spot to spend the
warm summer evenings and as well
make a place of beauty In the day
time. Large boxes of the bright hued
petunias as well as the old fashioned
flowering moss have been placed in
profusion over the three roof garden?
and their brilliant blooms make a
wonderful sight when they are aglow
in the summer sun while the trailing
morning glories are also found add
ing their touch to the. pleasantness
of the settings of these three flowei
gardens. The floral display on these
three places are much better.than can
be found in larger ground plots and
the ladies who have arranged and
carried out the floral display have
made a very fine addition to that sec
tion of the city.

RED Crown Gasoline has always been the
. finest motor fuel that painstaking care in
refining could make it. Its uniformity, its quick
starting, clean -burning qualities have made it
the favorite gasoline of Nebraska motorists.
Now, this gasoline that refining could not im
prove has been made an even better motor fuel
by combining it with Ethyl Brand of Anti
Knock Compound.
Red Crown Gasoline has all its old time pep and
power but the addition of Ethyl Brand of Anti
Knock Compound absolutely eliminates carbon
knocks and enables you to use more of the power
that is in Red Crown.
Try it once and you'll notice the difference in
pick-up, in hill climbing, in heavy going more
power and never a 'knock'.
But use it undiluted exclusively the year
'round if you want the full benefit. The longer
your motor runs on Red Crown Ethyl Gasoline,
the better it runs.
i Btit be sure you get the genuine sold only where
you see the RED CROWN Ethyl Gasoline sign on
the silver pump.
For "noclcss" operation avoid dilution.
Wait until your gasoline supply is low before
filling ivith Red Crown Ethyl Gasoline then
use Red Crown Ethyl Gasoline exclusively.
