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 winter. Some folks would let it re­ main there indefinitely, if they were not prodded to remove it.

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. ? | ^H E E X PE R IE N C E of the Earl Fruit Company with 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. Admission 50c.

S IM P S O N ’S HARDW ARE 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.
