He is even less successful us a statesman than is his brother of the divérsified method of planting. The Iatter, by his dirt experience, fits into the verities and varieties of politics quite snugly, at times, and is still able to give profitable attention to his dirt. The former, on the evi- dence, is still a one-crop man when he enters the polit- ical game. He lets the dirt go hang while he deals with votes and their aims. Take the case of Gov. McCray, of Indiana, as an in- stance. He waxed rich as a stockraiser—raised the finest cattle in Indiana. He thought, dreamed, talked and worked stock until he owned 15,000 acres of fine Jand, had great herds of the finest breeds and was a million- aire. Then politics. Some eight years ago he tried for the gubernatorial nomination. The machine was against him. The primary law made expenses high and he spent thou- sands of dollars in a fruitless effort. But he did create a sentiment that later gave him the nomination and elec- tion. Once in office, herds and lands back home were neg- lected. He couldn’t be statesman and farmer at one and the same time. He was a cne-crop man and politics was the planting and harvesting at hand. Today he is finan- cially embarrassed and admits it is largely due to his neglect of his farms while performing his civic duties. One crop was his teaching, his habit dnd his custom. He couldn’t get away from it. In politics it was all poli- tics, and the farming business went flooie. There is a moral in it. President Ceolidge’s worshippers stress his precise enunciation and his exact and wide learning. Wonder if he can pronounce and define “mag- nanimous"? If, by chance, he can, his failure to give Governor Pinchot full credit for the progress in the anthracite discussions is the more lamentable still. All honor to Henry Hoffstetier, of the Aysane hospital m Buffalo. He is honest. He announces himself as a candidate for ward counciiman and frankly admits his insanity in advance, instead of waiting until elected to demonstrate it, as is usual. Don't whistle in the kitchen. Whistling may make the sausage bark and come to you. Soda helps burns if they are on you. Nothing helps them if they are on the meat. New Twain Story Found A great treat is in store for the lovers of books who are on earth 200 years from now. They will have a fresh story written by Mark Twain. Persons living nowadays never will know what the master wrote in this story, for it is sealed and is not to be read or published until two centuries have elapsed. The Harpers, who are moving their printing house from Franklin st, to their new building uptown, possess the precious manuscript. In moving desks around in their old quarters the other day they found one with a secret drawer. When this was opened a sealed package was found in it, and a note written on it said it contained a story or article by Mark Twain and was not to be opened or published for 200 years. That is all that is known about it. The package is in possession of the Harpers, who will doubtless carry out the writer's intentions. It will remain unopened until well into the 22nd century. Then the citizens of this world will have something good to read.

One kind explodes with an instantaneous crash—detonates. It deals a sledge hammer blow upon the piston head, depending upon the single impulse for the complete stroke. Because of its tendency to explode pre- maturely, it limits compression. It often causes “‘knocking” which you notice on the hills. The quick, crashing blows, repeated, in- crease vibration, increasing wear and tear. Steady, Sustained Power The Other kind of explosion—the kind that Union Gasoline de- livers—is progressive and prolonged. For Union is non-detonating gasoline. | The piston receives a strong, steady, sustained thrust throughout the entire stroke. It pushes through. ’ Higher compression is | second. Ask for touring road maps at any Union Service Station. nion Gasolin permitted, because compression is limi- ted by the tendency of a gasoline to detonate, as all authorities know. Thus increased power and efficiency result. Note the ‘‘Lift”’ on Hills You'll find a new “‘lift” on hills with no “knocking.” The car is being pulled up by strong, sustained impulses. There’s new speed on the level, too, and more rush in the getaway. Increased fuel economy follows this increased all-’round efficiency. And the decreased vibration saves much wear and tear. These are features to look for when you use Union Non-Detcnating Gasoline. Union Gasoline is the product of pro- gressive refining methods. The latest methods for its improvement are con- stantly searched for by able chemists and engineers, equipped with every accepted facility for studying refining processes.
