Sinclair PENNSYLVANIA is freed from
petroleum jelly at as low as 60° F.
' below zero!
No matter how fine a Pennsylvania grade oil is, it can’t do its
best work if it contains petroleum jelly. Sinclair Pennsylvania
Motor Oil is refined 100% from the costliest Pennsylvania grade
crude—the famous Bradford-Allegany crude which has mel-
lowed and filtered in the Pennsylvania field a hundred million
years. In addition, Sinclair removes the petroleum jelly from
Sinclair Pennsylvania by chilling it down to as low as 60° F.
below zero. Being jelly-free, Sinclair Pennsylvania does not
thicken unduly in cold nor thin out in heat. Try it. A single
crankcaseful will prove that Sinclair Pennsylvania stands up
better and lasts longer than any oil you ever used before.

Several weeks ago the Polk
County Enterprise scooped us on
a story right under our nose. It
stated that a piece of sandstone
found b,v Heady Creeelius bore
the print of a fish. The Enter
prise stated this positively, and
we set out toprove lie did not
know his fish. The stone found
by Mr. Creeelius was sent to the
University of Texas with the re
quest that they give us an offi-
cial ruling on what caused the
imprint and here is what we re
ceived:
Mr. W. C. Fancher,
Corrigan, Texas.
Dear Faneli:
I know you think I have taken
a long time to get a report on
the geologic specimen you sent
me, but have been waiting for
some of our geologists to decide
what it really is.
One man says it is a scliwage-
rina amandei, and another thinks
it is a tritieitus from the Corri-
gan formation of the upper per-
ininn. You can take your choice.
Still another man says it is a
spiroploetainniina semicomplana-
ta and 1 think that must he cor-
rect because it is the longest
name.
However, we all agree that if
it was a fish, the poor tiling had
just escaped from Louisiana, pro-
bably fleeing from a Hooey Long
of that day. The fins being ex-
tended show that it was badly
scared.
But after all Ihe erudite dis-
cussion of the specimen, it is
boiled down to the simple state-
f know tho right
answers, if you know r-
the right questions f •
Take your time . . . and
don't get confused.

meat that it is an imprint of a
palm leaf in sandstone.
1 hope this solution arrives in
time to prevent any casualties.
I know editors are quick on trig-
ger. In telling your oempetitor
the names of your specimen, he
sure to warn him in advance
that you are not calling him
names.
With very best wishes to you
and family, 1 am
