Tt appears that when sugar wes costing the average American family 27 cents a these firms were given federal aid in the lifting of the sugar embargo in the tine; Uncle Sam helped these sugar barons to bring this sugar in because it was to help the American housewife, who not only was paying an outrageous price Sugar, but was unable to get it in adequate amounts, Well, these barons get the embargo lifted, and they get the sugar in, and then the market drops out its bottom and they fail to unload at the expected profit; so they want Uncle Sam to foot the bill. Seeing as the two firms involved are among those same big sugar Interests that in : held the American people up by the heels and shook hundreds of millions of dol- ‘out of them thru control of the sugar market, It would be interesting to discover particular congressmen are feeble-minded enough to heed the brazen plea of these wonders how sane men, even tho utterly sunk in the morass of greed, could ly propose such open looting of the public till, ars Whole tter Up Bf you don’t understand what “Senator McCumber in tho jorth Dekota primary, it's simply Some of our gardeners have had vegetables.

Every year about the middle of May, while the snow still lies deep in the mountain passes, from 15 to 20 cars start the strenuous 360-mile run across the interior valleys and up the difficult mountain roads into the Yosemite Valley. Every car is carefully groomed for victory, and driven by an expert. And in all the six runs so far held, all cars entered have used Red Crown gasoline exclusively, + This year the car making the run on the lowest consump- ‘tion of fuel, a *Chevrolet driven by Dominick Basso, made the entire trip of 360 miles on 12 gallons of “Red Crown” (an average of 30 miles to the gallon), and a pint of Zerolene. The average gasoline consumption for all cars participating was phe. nomenally low. This furnishes striking evidence of the continued success of this company in manufacturing a motor-car fuel of the highest grade, justifying for six successive years the unanimous choice of automotive “ engineers eager to establish the best possible records for their cars. This year, 18 of the 20 cars entered made the entire distance on less than 20 gallons of “Red Crown,” although owing to recent rains the roads were unusually difficult. Red Crown gasoline is the mast economical motor fuel on the market today, because it contains the maximum number of heat units that can be rapidly and uniformly vaporized in the modern carburetor and go into complete combustion inghe cylinders, producing the maximum power the engine was designed to ‘develop.
