COUNTY DEBARRED FROM
PROSPECTING FOR OIL
CORNING, Calif., March 29.—
Any chance of Tehama county pros
pecting for oil and assisting in any
development in this industry seems
effectively blocked as a result of an
interpretation of the legal aspects of
the situation furnished the Corning
cham ber of commerce by Attorney
General U. S. Webb.
T. E. H arper, president of the
cham ber of commerce, said his or
ganization had been asked to act
by John Moran, a farm er living near
here. It had been hoped to have the
Board of Supervisors levy a tax to
defray expenses of the work, which
would determ ine definitely if there
is oil in sufficient quantities to w ar
rant development.
A ttorney General Webb has ruled
th a t a county is a corporation only
in a restricted sense, and th a t the
State Constitution does not confer on
any county the right to engage in
business or en ter upon speculative
enterprises.
Spring time is here again when it
is comparatively easy to promote im
provements. The return of the sun,
tlip cheerful bird songs, the revival
of nature, should fill people with re
newed energy. Many people who are
indifferent to the perform ance of
m anual labor, can be made interested
a t this period in cleaning up their
places and making them more a t
tractive.
This spirit of energy may be only
tem porary. But it can be organized
and encouraged so as to create per
m anent gains toward order and
beauty.
At first comes the idea of n eat
ness. All kinds of refuse tend to ac
cum ulate in back yards through the

Lubrication Chart
Different brands of m otor oils have
different bodies. T h e safest, surest
way to get the best perform ance from
your m otor and avoid expensive en
gine troubles due to incorrect lubri
cation is to use the grade of motor
oil specified on the Lubrication Chart.

Cycol as shown by the reproduced letter below is
the same experience that thousands of other truck, tractor
and car owners have had.
S Cents W ar Tax
Motor oil that breaks down quickly under engine heat is
responsible for m ost motor troubles. This heat causes a
damaging chemical reaction when the oil contains destruct
ive sulpho compounds. The oil decomposes, leaving a thin
liquid of little lubricating value. Metal-to-metal contact
and friction wear then take place, resulting in burned out
bearings, slapping pistons and other serious damage.
Ashland Realty Co.
After many years’ effort to increase the durability of motor
oils,thp new’ Hexeon Process was developed. It removes the
destructive “sulpho” compounds from oil. This process is
used only in refining Cycol —the new and different motor oil
which
• is made from Cyclo-Naphthenic base crude petroleum.

Cycol in your engine prevents troubles that usually follow
the use of oils containing destructive “sulpho” compounds.
Cycol does not b r . J c w n , thin out or evaporate rapidly.
It maintains a prot?c
’ .bricating film between all mov
ing parts and forms an 'ou tight" piston seal because it is free
from destructive "sulpho” compounds.
Don’t wait until your engine develops trouble. Head it off
with Cycol—cut down operating as well as repair costs.
Flush the crank case, not with kerosene or so-called “flush
ing oils” but with the grade of motor oil your Lubrication
Chart recommends for your engine, and refill w ith the cor
rect grade of Cycol as shown by the Cycol Lubrication Chart.
