Too heavy an oil, or one lacking in certain qual
ities, may reduce the power delivered to the
wheels of the automobile as much as 20?.
The ideal oil is the thinnest oil which will keep
the bearing surfaces of the mechanism sepa
rated. Providing this oil has "oiliness," stability and
purity, it will give perfect lubrication, and per
mit the development of the maximum power,
speed and gasoline mileage of the car.
"Oiliness" Stability Purity
Zerolene meets the conditions perfectly. It has
great "oiliness,' due to the crudes from which
it is made, and our own patented process of
high vacuum distillation.
It has great stability, as a result of which it re
sists engine heat and forms only a minimum
of carbon of a soft, flaky nature which blows
out with the exhaust
And it is pure. This company has always con
sidered the removal of all detrimental proper
ties and compounds as essential in making Zer
olene. Zerolene of the correct grade gives perfect lu
brication and permits the development of the
maximum power, speed and gasoline mileage
of the car.

HAY CROP IS SHORT
The dry season in western Oregon
and the cool spring in eastern Oregon
are making the hay crop look rather
short. Several farmers in previous
short hay years have saved their
stock by filling their silos with various
available crops during the summer.
Weedy grain, Canada thistles anJ
grain, road siue mowings, omer wasi
crops, etc., while often not making
the best of silage will carry much
stock through a winter. Every silj
