MOTOPOWEB.tho Gasoline thet LLtricatcs
is still the same price as ordinary gasoline.
When wo introduced this remaikable motor
fuel, we promised it would coat no more than
ordinary gasoline. We pledged that we would
give you greater mil ago more pow r, a
smoother running, better luLiicr.tcd motor.
Despite the fact that MUTOFOWEE is a
product of higher quality, manufactured at a
much greater oo3t than ordinary gasoline, wo
have kept our pledge to the thousands of mo-
torists who have been won by its outstanding
suparority. Other “high test” and “special”
gasoline today are selling at a higher price--
but MOTOPOWER remains the same price as
ordinary gasoline.
|JWe take this stand in fairness to our many
friends who have shown their appreciation to
a superior motor fuel. By your patronage cur
sales have doubled and tripled- a factor which
enables i s to give you the world’s best motor
fuel at the same price ao or Jinary gasoline.
If you are not already a user of MOTO-
POWEE, drive into our station and give it a
trial. Be convinced that bore io the greatest
gasoline value in the country today.

Ur.able to Aid
A conductor on a railroad run-
ning out of Indianapolis owns a
farm on his line two counties away.
Always when passing on his train
he looks out the window to view his
tract and the buildings.
The other dny when going 50
miles an hour he looked as usual,
and saw his big barn on fire. Ho
knew tho folk were in town. But
ho was helpless, and at the next sta-
tion was unable to lt-.irn anything
about the fue. The burn was burned
to the ground, sud the next day the
conductor looked out at the ruins.—

Looking Far Ahead
A citir.cn of Argentina has de-
posited $10 in n Buenos Aires bank
to remain for 1,000 years, interest
to be nmiunlly compounded and
added to principal at the licst rate
paid on time deposits. In 2925 the
amount accumulated is to Le di-
vided equally between Argentina
and the United .States “for the pur-
pose of promoting happineas and
prosperity.”
Fan Bring Good Price$
There were 9,090 silver black fox
skins sent from Canadian provinces
, last year to Eastern fur markets,
i The pelts averaged $105.80 each.
This price represented the highest
price paid for any hide of our na-
tive fur-bearers. Fisher ran second
at a price of $70 each, hut only 4,-
000 of these animals were taken.

Linking of France and
England Old Project
This is not the first time in his-
tory that a plan was proposed to link
England and France by means of a
bridge across the channel. The idea
wns popular in France even before
the formation of tho Bridge and
Railway company in 1889. It is
known that Napoleon III, as early
ns 18C2, gave n whole morning audi-
ence to M. Boutet, who came to him
with 20 or 30 huge plans for a
projected bridge across the channel.
The bridge scheme was for a time a
lively topic in the corridors of the
palace of the Tuilcrics. It even was
incorporated in a dialogue presented
before their majesties Napoleon and
Eugenie at Compiegne, in which the
Princess Metternieli nnd other
prominent person.igcs of the dny
took part. A young woman dressed
up like Marianne, the Maid of
France, remarked to Britannia:
“Free trade,” and Britannia replied:
“Yes, and no more passports. And
by all means let us have a bridge
across the channel.” The clever say-
ing of course came from Marianne,
who retorted: “Trc« bien. We will
extend the Boulevard Ilnussinnn ro
that it run* right into Piccadilly."

Girls’ Poor Showing
in Whistling Contest
Twelve thousand schoolboys and
girls competed in n whistling con-
test held in Jersey City to find the
best 1C whistlers from whom the
city’s most accomplished whistler
will by selected.
Not a single girl entrant won a
first place. More than 50 per cent
of the 500 girls entered in the con-
test were disqualified because of gig-
gli'lff-
Tho age limit for the contestants
wns fifteen years. The entrants
ranged from four years up, but the
youngest winner was Walter Nor-

powers seemed inexhaustible.
