MICE ENTERTAIN CROWD
The antics of several captive mice
in the show window at the F. G.
Fricke & Co. store attracted a large
group of onlookers today with their
playfulness. The mice were spinning
a disc and a barrel and seemed un
tiring. The wandering reporter in
quired of that canny Scot, McPher
son, as to the unusual spirit of the
mice and he inforr.ua us that they
had beed fed cod liver oil tablets that
made them full of pep.

realities, "Show us the Father."

ture, prayer is to be the channel
through which thai power is to be
leceived for their work. "Greater
works," not greuLcr miracles. Two
great lersons are here taught: (a)
He that would do the work of Jesus
li.m i pray in his name; (b) He that
would pray in hi:; name must work
in his name. To ask in the name of
mother is to use his name as a plea,
as a recommendation why our re
quest should be granted. Personal
claims are ignored, no merits claim
ed. Christ lends us his name or his
personal influence with the Father.
And that intluence is omnipotent,
with all the influence in the men
tion of it that arises from his per
sonal merit as our mediator and in
tercessor. "While his disciples pray
in his name on earth, he acts from
heaven on God's part to execute that
which is asked for. The disciple's
love is determined by the way he
lives and obeys his Master. Froies
sion of loyally to Christ is essential,
but the "doing" of his will is the
proof of discipleship.
Thus the Christian is assured a
joyous life while passing through
this vale of sorrow and suffering,
and a blessed inheritance for faith

OIL-PLATING differs widely from other forms
of lubrication in this plain, understandable
way: It remains lastingly fastened to the pis
tons, bearings and other engine parts, even
when they are not in motion. This is made
possible by the Germ Process patented
which gives Conoco Germ Processed oil its
strong attraction for metals, so that every
working part becomes durably Oil-Plated.
Oil-Plating is not like any lubrication that
merely goes on-and-off. Once Germ Processed
oil covers the parts it never leaves them bare
of Oil-Plating . . . Never when the pistons are
racing thousands of strokes a minute . . . Never
on any hills, despite any lead Never while
you park at a dozen different stores.

"Henry," he said, "talce these and test them and see -which one is

Hours passed before Henry reappeared. Wearing a somewhat un
happy net to say distressed expression, he entered his employer's office
and placed the two bottles on the latter's desk.

So it's nothing to you, when engineers blame
more than half of all engine wear on so-called
"dry starting." Nor need you worry over all
the rest of the annual Spring oil scare.
Whether your car is new or old, you can make
your longer runs . . . hit your higher speeds
. . . enjoy your hotter sunshine. Oil -Plating
can take it like the longest -lasting part of
your engine. For Oil-Plating really becomes
a long-lasting part cf your engine, as you

Dear Mr. Devoe:
We wish to compliment the Platts

zens and students conducted them
selves at the game. They were per
fect ladies and gentlemen and were
certainly put to the test because of
the closeness of the game from the
start. We appreciate relationships
with schools which have such good
standards and -trust that our people
will conduct themselves the same,
when in your city. Your principal,
Mr. Keeder, was very much on the
job, which no doubt partly accounts
for the good conduct of your people.
