An automobile story which reads

men havo bought cars tho Haynes
coupe models from Charles McCrary,
this week and they are to be delivered
soon. .
But there must for the present be
absoluto secYecy as to tho names of
the purchasers because each man is
going to spring a surprise on his wife
by making her a present of the car
he has, purchased.
That's enough said for the present,
but of course the secret will soon leak
and there will bo two surprised and
delighted women who do not live many
miles from La firande.
Some sules which -Mr. McCrary has
made tho past week are not involved
in secrecy. 1). Osborne of lrnbler hiis

The body is known as the seafoam tint
while tho upholstering is in brown.
J. M. (inmcs, also of Imbler, has

Distributor and relay contact points

Poor Cold Test Oil
Will Not Flow Properly
In Bad Weather Times
"Hard -crankiiiK and sluggishness
of tho motor in cold weather, usually
indicates a serious condition in the
motor due to. the use of a poor cold
tcr,i oil, one that congeals or thickens
and does not lubricate correctly in fold
weather," said T. R. Maxwell, special
agent of the Standard Oil company,
yesterday.
A poor cold test oil will not flow
and properly Jubricate until it has
been warmed by the motor running for
some fifteen to thirty minutes, during
which time excessive friction is pres
ent, and serious wear takes place in the
cylinders and bearings.
Motorists can avoid this danger
and annoyance by using Zerolcne,
which is refined from California crude
of the naphthene series. This oil has
a natural zero cold test because it con
tains no paraffinc to congeal at low
temperatures. It keeps tho motor
flexible and easy to turn over during
cold weather and insures correct lubri
cation of ihe automobile right from
the start."
