"The other day several carloads of fruit were sent out with merely the word 'Oregon' In one corner. Of course it's good to have that much displayed, but Oregon is a large state. This fruit might be from any one of many sec tions The purchaser Knows merely that it Is Oregon fruit.jind no more. "Itogue itlver Valley fruit Is famed the world over. Its pears biing the highest prices in foreign markets and Its apples are sought in many coun tries. Why then should not the name of tho producing section appear on the boxes? The large concerns hand ling the produce of the Itogue Valley rhould be notified thai the shippers want the labels to include "Itogue Itlver" on them. It would be no more than a recognition of a superior qual ity product." Oregon has only ono poisonous snake, tho rattler. H can be distin guished cosily because It has a blunt head. All tho other snakes, nil of which aro non-venomous, have point ed heads. Acordlng to Prof. Tex T. Schubach, curator of the California snake arm, of iierkeley, Calif., who makes these statements. If the snakes other than the rattler were encouraged, they soon would kill most of tho earwigs. Thoy also would destroy a great quuntity of tho other troublesonio bugs. Many of Oregon's rattlesnakes ac cording to Schnbach, are the master suggers, a particularly deadly variety. On a noo day trip between Ashland and Klamath Falls recently, the snake man caught' 40 master soggers. die had been bitten eight timesby rattlers. His prescription for surviv ing such bites Is as follows: Tie a cord or rubber tightly above tho bile. When the blood Is shut off, cut a gash about an Inch long through the wound with a sharp knife or razor blade. Suck out tho wound If your mouth Is free of abrasions, decayed teeth and sores. Wash the wound "with permanganate of potash solution of a wine color. When this is done, remove the cord and take a laxative, along with ono sixtieth of a grnln of strychnine. Keep wet antiseptic dress ings on tho wound. Whiskey, - by Increasing tho heart circulation, makes tho spread of the poison more rapid. Rnttlers strike without colling at times, but they can not strike effectively more than three! fourths of their length. A 6 months old snake may have four rattles; they do not grow one a year. A horsehair rope around a camp bed will not keep the snake out. New fangs are grown within 48 hours. A baby rattler Is as poisonous a an old one.

For example, why do some people still believe that there is something myster iously "better" about "eastern" motor oils merely because they cost more and are made in the East? 1t . Oil Superstition Fast Losing Qround Zerolene costs less because it's made in tho West but that doesn't make h better; it's better because in practice it actually lubricates better. That's why Zerolene is successfully lubricat ing more cars in the Pacific Coast states high priced and low than any other oil made. Zerolene will increase the gas oline mileage, reduce the carbon removal operations and mainten ance costs and lengthen the life of any car in which it is used. Made from Selected blaphthenic Crude Zerolene will do the same for your car. It is made from selected western naphthenic base crude Insist on Zerolene even if it does cost less (the best crude so far discovered for the manufacture of motor lub ricants) by our high-vacuum proo ess, checked IS times for quality, and specially filtered through 40 tons of Florida Fuller's Earth to give you an oil that's absolutely pure and safe. Why pay tribute to a supersti tion? Insist on Zerolene. Always ask for ZEROLENE by name. Qct the Facts!
