BROUGHT IN AN AUTO Must Sell Gasoline That Is Gasoline or Be Haled Into Court (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Aug. 2. (Special.) For bearance ha ceased to be a virtue with State Oil Inspector Harman and from now on oil companies and others failing to comply with the law regard ing the display of signs showing the grade and test of oil being sold will be prosecuted vigorously and instruc tions have gone out this morning to inspectors to hew to the line and let the chips fall where they may. Retail dealers, according to Com missioner Harman, are the ones who are suffering the greatest from the failure of dealers in oils to show the proper grade of oil. Many of them display a sign stating that the oil is above such a grade. The law requires that the notices shall state specifically what grade the oil is. As an indication of how Lincoln companies are complying with the law the following tests made on eighty two cars of oil show how the law is being followed in the capital city: Eight 'ears of the State Oil company howed tests from 56 gravity to 68. The A. B. A. Oil company showed Its eight cars testing from 67 ft to 60. s The Marshall Oil company's thirteen cars showed tests from 66 to 64. The Standard OH company's 120 cars showed tests from 68 to Anything testing below 58 degrees at this mtie of year would not be con sidered the kind of oil the average automobile would require for good work In the winter time it would have to test higher.

Why we guard Tom Moore's repi TOM MOORE would not have been called for in cigar stores every day during the past twenty years if he had failed to make good. It is impossible to build up a lasting reputation for a cigar unless that cigar has inherent merit. That merit can be quickly summed up. First, there should be a clean-cut idea behind a cigar. . Second, that cigarshould be manufactured always true to that idea. The idea behind Tom Moore is true Havana fra grance accompanied with true mildness. Has Tom Moore kept true to this idea? Yes. Tom Moore's friends have never known him to run down. For our part, we have been too fong in the business to permit it. We have always been a bit jealous of Tom Moore's reputation and al ways will be. If you like a "light hearted Havana" type of cigar, Tom Moore is a safe cigar for your dealer to offer you, and a very safe and satisfying ten cents' worth for you to invest in.
