When Johnny comes sailing home again, he’ll be more
than ready for soft seat cushions. Through the windows
he’ll eye that super-colossal feature, the grand old U. S. A.
It will look all the better because you—Johnny’s loving
proud folks—are with him again. After your nights of
volunteer war work—and coupons—and questionnaires—
you could easily stand as much touring as Johnny. '
You’ll need a car that can stand it. But since the con-
versiori from war production must take, time—just as
conversion from peace production did—you’ll fret a long
while for any new Victory model. Better preserve your
present car for the duration and beybnd.
One big thing working against this, plainly speaking,
is engine acid! After combustion stops, and your car
stands long, the acid always formed in any engine can
^keep gnawing undisturbed. Gone are the big mileage,
ample speed and resulting engine heat that formerly kept
down acid damage. Today’s opposite driving conditions
.could multiply acid damage, except that you can have
Tthe interior of your engine protectively oil-plated by the
simple economical change to Conoco Nfh motor oil.
There is a synthetic in Conoco Nth oil that makes it
"magnetically active,” as it Were, attracting oil-plating
to inner engino surfaces. Oil-plating resembles other
anti-corrosive plating in notrall draining down at a stand-
still, and in maintaining interference against such a
dangerous corrosive as acid. Today—and for many
tomorrows—.oil-plate with Nth at Your Mileage

FAREWELL
In this, My last column of
Postoak happenings in the
Bowie News,, I wish to express
my deep appreciation to every-
who has in some way helped tne .
in the gathering and writing of
the news, and to those that have
spoken words . of encourage-
ment. I wish to express my
deepest appreciation to the W.
M- S., of this community who
have been so exceedingly nice
to me and wish that they may
find some one to carry on the
column, so that they will con-
tinue to send the paper to our
bova-i— ‘tie service.-----—— -
It has indeed been a pleasant
task' and I’ve enjoyed it im-
mensely, but cannot continue
because of leaving this week for
Denton to attend Texas State
College for 'Women.
Goodbye, and may God’s rlch-
est blessings be on each of you.
miles. The Mississippi river
from its source in Minnesota to
the Delta was 2,470 mils.
The writer presumes that he
is right, but why quibble over
the difference when there is only
5 miles difference in the lengths.
Sunset Man Talks Interestingly
About His Trip to. Pike's
Peak. Colorado
While in Bowie Saturday after-
noon the writer met up with our
good friend H. M. Jackson, of
Sunset, and he was telling us
about what a wonderful trip he
enjoyed recently to the moun-
tains of Colorado. He said it
was certainly a sight to go up
op Pike’s Peak and that he got
a real thrill out of that high
the - churn and- peeped proto Ue“satd~also- that is he
ever went again, he certainly
wished that the writer would
ho along with him and make a
few notes and come back anfl
write a story of everything.
Said he couldn’t give a descrip-
tion of it at all.
--A TRIP TO FORT WORTH
On a trip to Fort Worth Mon-
day of this week the writer
found that city full of people
and the large department stores
that we visited were doing a
thriving business on both the
top and lower basement floors.,
The clerks were as busy as they
could be and so many~of them,
tooi I don’t see how, they can
handle the business*when the
holidays draw near and the
trade increases to more than u
duble what it is at this time of- •pc Ar;
the year. ■ “ 1
The streets - were thronged
with - so many people and all of
them walking just, as fast as
their legs would take them. It
■has been pur observation that
the larger the city the faster
they . walk on the streets.
Fort Worth seems to be
joying a rapid growth and
spreading out all over the sur-
rounding country: Some day
Dallas and Fort Worth will meet
and . they may consolidate 'then
in some agreeable manner and
become a city of millions in pop-
ulation.
We noticed that out this side
of the city and, at the Air Train-
ing Field the airplanes were al-
most as thick as blackbirds do-
ing their regular day’s routine
of practice. They would fly
down on their landing place and
barely touch the ground and
would t|jen rise again and Cir-
cle. Once in a while a plane
would hit the ground and Come
to a stop and then after circling
around, would rise as easy as a
bird from the ground and- take
again to other parts.

Wise County School Bus Loaded
With Children Wrecked After
Wild-Plunge Over Railroad
1 Embankment “
The writer, while coming up
from Fort Worth Monday after-
noon, and when about 4 miles
this side of Alvord came up on
a . wrecked school bus that was
loaded with children and the
miraCtilous way, in which the
~ ehildreh escaped injury and
death is a mystery indeed. Not
a one of those children were in-
jured, but they certainly must
have been shaken up pretty
badly.
The bus left the highway and
went tearing through the rough
places along between the high-
way and the railroad and ran
for 100 yards before it climbed
over the railroad and ran for
100 yards before it climbed over
the railroad dump and plunged
20 feet down the steep embank-
ment and stopped with its front
wheels almost against the rai
of the track. As it went
crashed saplings and ran over
huge pebble rocks as large as a
, rain, bairel and- -then- hit- -a
telegraph pole and completely
smashed it to splinters before
making its final leap over the
railroad dump. I don’t
there could have been a
. place in all that country for a
wreck to have occurred.
-----There were a good many peo-
ple tlwre and they were still ar-
riving when we drove off and
left the wreck. Certainly provi-
ienc^" must have had something
• in the lid of the churn so the
centipede cquldn't escape '•and
got a young fellow to cqme in
and kill the large fellow. ' >
Life Magazine Editor and
A Reader Have Dispute About
, the Longest River
When Life Magazine editor
made the statement that the
Missouri River was thp longest
' river in the” mURNl Slates, m ■
reader came back' at him and
denied his statement, contending
that the Mississippi river, was
the longest river in the United
States. But the. editor of Life
came back and stated that the
. , Missouri river was from Three
-^-Qne-of-thfc. sales girls in the Forks,^ Montana, junctioa..
the other day was telling the
writer what a big excitement
they uncovered in the store when
they encountered a 12-inch cen-
tipede in a large churn sitting
away up on a top shelf and Said
she hoped she never agin hap-
pened to such a fearful incident
as that was.
The young lady was standing
high tip on a box and reaching
for the churns above her head
and handing them down to an-
other girl who was sitting them
down on the floor. The pretty
girl said that when she reached
up and took hold of the churn
and was -slowly, lifting it down
she heard something scratching
around and then she raised the
-Wd—on-y" ’ __.2 j '
inside and there was that 12-
inch vicious scorpion just rear-
ing trying to jump Up to the
top of the churn to escape. She
slammed the lid back on the
jar and said to the other girl.
