Save the Gears
One of the troubles of operating heavy machinery is the
rapidity with \* hich gears wear out.
We have developed a lubricant which will protect the
heaviest gears under the greatest pressure.
We call it
TEXACO
CRATER COMPOUND
It is a rich, heavy lubricant which cannot be squeezed out
from between the teeth. The pinions run on this heavy
film—cutting and wear are stopped.
"Crater" resists weather, water, heat, and dust. It is par-
ticularly adapted for gears on oil mills, cotton compresses,
tractors—wherever large gears need protection.
It is one of the high grade lubricants made by

A It hough it was perhaps
slightly cxaggaralcd, the homo
talent play, "The District
School a1 Mine Berry Corner,"
given by the Martha Wiley Mothers'
cluli at the Hoyd High School Audi-
torium Friday night, brought back
sweet memories to many of the laigM
audience of olden school days. It was
a scream from the time the curtain,
went up lu the Mrs! act to tlie closing
of tlie last act.
The tlrst scene showed a meeting
of th" trustees of the school and the
/examination of touchers. After ox*
axniining four teachers they select-
ed llc/.cklah Pondorgruss, (i'rof. W.
!•:. Foster) who, in appearance was
one of the old-time rural teachers.
The next sue no showed the pupils
making their way down the shady
road lo the little school. lOvery char-
acter of boy and girl was represent-
ed and their very appearance pro.
yoked great laughter from the audi-
ence. II would hardly be Just to
mention any certain actor or actress,
but it would also lie unjust not to'
mention l>avbl Snooks, age (! ( llu-
fus I lolsonhake) with Ills red hair,
st one-bruised bare feet, bandaged
sore toe. one "gallus." sliaggb'd teeth
ami outrageous laugh. He brought
the lions' down every time he laugh-
ed or cried with his sore toe.

Sucking insects, such as the green

easily by a solid stream of water and
a good pressure. An ordinary garden
hose will do this work well. Any t<oaf
Kilting Insects can be killed by spray-
ing the plants with Arsenate of l<ead.
When used as a spray the Arsenate
of Head may be used al the rale of
I to L' lbs. of lite powder In 25 gallons
water. If the Insects are very resist-
ant and the plants hardy enough to
stand the poison stronger, II may be
used at the rate of 3 lbs. to 25 gal-
lons. Ordinarily 1 lb. lo 2fi gallons
will serve the purpose. Care should
be taken not to use tills on vegetables
