This recommendation is made to prevent rapid depreciation of the engine caused by road dust, carbon, fine metal particles and other im purities, v-hioh accumulate in the crankcase oil and circulate through your engine, impairing its efficiency and ultimately leading to avoid able repairs. However, these important instructions are often disre garded; cleaning the crankcase is a job generally disliked. To meet this need, Modern Crankcase Cleaning Service has been es tablished by fiist-class garages and other dealers, co-operating with the Standard Oil Company. These garagesand dealers use Calol Flush ing Oil, the scientific agent that cleans out old oil, dirt, grit and other impurities, arid does not impair the lubricating efficiency of fresh oil used. The cleaned crankcase is refilled with the proper grade ot Zerolene. Look for the garage or dealer displaying the sign shown here, it means, "Better operation and longer engine life," a service promptly given at a nominal coat.

Mill Phone 1751 Store Phone 3881 Conditions too appalling for descrip tion and misery too aWful to look upon were witnessed only nix weeks ago in the famine districts of North China bjrfl W. A. Sellwood, Y. M A. secretary and graduate of O. A. C, who has just returned from 18 months' service in Russia and China, and who travelled 10 days, covering 800 miles, through the famine-stricken sett ion from Pekln near the northern boundary, to Nan king, near the Chinpse coast. "That ten-day Journey was one long horror," said Sellwood. "1 am haunted yet by the memory of the drawn, des pairing faces and the pitiable cries for food of the starving, half naked men, women and children who crowded un der the train windows, lifting up. thuir arms in desperate supplication to us, every time the train slowed up or stopped. There are 45,000,000 Chinese confronted with starvation in the famine district, and the daily death rate is 15,000 a day. Typhus and pestilence are adding their toll to that of wholesale starvation, and condi tions are simply beyond any adequate description. "In Russia I have seen corpses stack ed up like cordwood. and many other things very shocking to people who live comfortable, well-ordered lives here in the United States, but these were nothing to the tragic things that were visible on every hand all along the 800-mile journey througn tne famine districts of north China. The corpses were not stacked up In orderly fiiKhion as in Russia. The survivors are too weak and wasted to under take any such task, and those who perish are left to lie where they fall, or are rolled into streams nearby. Almost at any time we could look out aad see bodies floating In the streams or lying about on the ground. It is a common thing for famine vic tims to sucoutnb while digging for roots to eat, and the mute evidence or this last futile effort to secure some morsel that will sustain Ufa a little longer, is visible on every hand; the dead bodies of men, women and chil dren may be seen lying beside the hole In the ground that bus been dug with sticks, or with the wasted claw like hands of the starving. IJbng ago all dogs, cats and even rats have disap peared In this land of horrors, except for a few wild, half crazed dogs that are dreaded by the emaciated human creatures because they fight so tenaciously for food and sometimes at tack the children in their desperate hunger. Everything eatable has been eaten except leaves, roots and grass, and these are rapidly being exhausted. Where there are trees the bark from these Is also used, and most of the trees are dying as a result. This vege tation Is ground up Into a sort of meal, and made Into a kind of cake by mix ing with water It is baked when fuel can be obtained. Millions of Chinese are living on this diet alone. "One of the most pitiable incidents of the Journey was the wild clamor all along the railroad at points where the garbage from the dining oaf was dumped daily. Knowing approximate ly where to expect this garbage to be dumped, thousands of gaunt, starving creatures gather for hours In advance E 1 ' The Miracle Wrought With fla!

Next season a smooth, fertile field waving with wheat or corn or filled with fine potatoes. Such is the miracle being wrought every year on hundreds of farms in this state through the use of Du Pont or Repauno Stumping Powders "Clear More Acres Make More Money" that is the slogan of the progressive farmer of today. Last year was one of the biggest, land-clearing years this state has ever known. This year will be a record-breaker. Simply because it is sound business to make unproductive land produce. You do the job only once and pay for it only once. The first crop usually more than pays the cost. Then every future year each crop will add to your profits. ' See our local dealer and order your season's supply. Always specify Du Pont or Repauno Stumping Powders. They are always dependable, high quality, low-freezing and no dyna mites are cheaper. This is some of the work that dynamite will do for you: It removes stumps and boulders, digs ditches, drains swamps, straightens streams, makes tree-holes, shatters hardpan.

PORTLAND, OREGON STAR BRAND All-leather Shoes and await the passing of the train. The railroad company, to prevent the frantic people from throwing them selves under the wheels in the strug gle for this garbage, have built fences two or three feet from the train, and the palls are emptied outside this fence. Policemen stand guard along the fence to hold back the older and the better-nourished people while the chil dren and the weaker adults are let through to get the first pickings." Sellwood also tells of a desperate Chinese mother who tried to sell him her little three-year-old daughter for 50 cents. Recognizing the face of an American at the window of the train. this woman crowded to the front, hold ing up the child In her arms, and im ploring him td buy it. It was explain ed to Sellwood that all Chinese mothers In the famine section are eager to sell their children, particular ly to Americans, as this means that the child will be fed and have a chance to live, also that the returns from the sale will also mean a little food fcr the children that are left and for them selves. , Tennis Club Elects Preliminary to the season's play and Spring tournament which will begin as soon as weather conditions permit, the Benedict Tennis Club has elected offi cers as follows : JJ.
