County Clerk Kuratii last week re
ceived a letter from Will Barrett, who
was recently married to Miss Alice

for the couny clerk to grant his re
quest. The papers stated that the
couple would spend their honeymoon
in Europe, and as birth certificates
must be presented before transports
are issued, this accounts for the re
quest. ' . i , .

in' the forest. A big bonfire in front
of the camp at night is a pretty

THE USE OF KEROSENE
MEANS A COOL KITCHEN
Most women dread hot summer1
days when the kitchen becomes as
stifling as a furnace. It is plain,
hard drudgery' to hang over a coal
stove as the thermometer mounts
higher and higher. ; r "
Many women have fdund by put
ting in a kerosene stove that their
kitchens are kept cool and comfort
able even in the hottest days in sum
mer.' -,7 V .;-4 "
But the use of a good kerosene,
such as the Standard Oil Company's
Pearl Oil, has many other advan
tages ; than that ' of keeping , the;
kitchen cool. It is easy to handle far
easier than . either coal or wood.
Futhermore, it makes no dirt or dust
which must be cleaned up continual
ly. It lights at the touch of a match,
so there is no waiting for the fire to
come up. '-, .,.
. Pearl 6il burns up clean and pro-!
duceB no odor. It is refined and re
refined by a special process which
removes the impurities, Wherever
it is bought in the city, in the coun
try, in the mountains, or on the sea
shore, it is always the same-high
quality kerosene, Ft can be bought
everywhere in 5 gallon cans, or in.
bulk at a slight saving cost.

, The brewers are all turning to the
