The circulating library feature of the

hours looking after the peoples' iliter

As there are some RO.OOO books that
ran he drawn against by the people of
Die state the subjects covered are so
numerous that the librarians ate hardly

railed for.
Nearly every country school iu the
state lias taken ndvantag< of the law
which allow s twelve books pi r month.
The slate pays expressagf1 one way on
nil such circulations.
The- outside cards arc fast crowding
the home readers and each month new

stantly added so that tin fiction is up
to the minute.
The one trouble at priseiit is the
lack of stack room. Many books arc
piled On the floors and the new ones
will have to wall a place for shelving.
The proposed new library will undoubt
edly take care of the condition as the
demand for books, old and new. In

The avetagi! cost of raising live pota

Those boys are well satis I i d with

expect to save all of their potato* « for
seed next year and go into the potnt i
business on a larger scale.
The continu< d production of pot a toil,
in the Ferniej- community Is In keep

is to inttoduce a cultivated crop in ad

Miss Kil Tumblyn narrowly • «cuped j
serious injury last Thursday when the
automobile which she was driving In
the Service' of the Helen 1 Tailoring
■Company left the road suddenly and
plunged through the guard rail on the
bridge In Central Kly. The accident
happened between the former Lowe
residence which was recently destroy'd
by tire, and the railroad crossing, the
machine landing in the creek several
feet bclcw
Miss Taniblyn < scyV"d with only a
slight Injury to her hand, which is
considered miraculous when the facts
surrounding the accident are consider
ed Teams were employed to haul
the machine out of the ditch and when
finally landed at the Lincoln Highway
garage it was discovered that the
radius rvd was hi "ken, w hich no doubt
was the cause of Mi.-s Tatnbly n losing

People Made Mistake
According to Jurich
Attorney Anthony Juried tcturiud to
Kl> last Sunday night aft! r an absence
of two weeks, during which time he
visited Tonopah to attend court in the
Interest of some of his clients In Nye
county and later made a trip through
California, stopping at Fresno and Sun
| Francisco. Jle also stopped for t day
in Iteno before returning horn . When
naked nr to how he found condition'!
generally where In traveled Mr. Jurich
said.
“f found business conditions bad
Thing; are quiet nil over. Many nun
are idle and more art being held otf
each day . In discussing tin situation 1
with thorn best Informed 1 found tin I
sentiment to be that while prosperity;
was looked for following the gr«.tl|
republican landslide, on tue contrary '
reverses were met The great major
ity wanted a chnnge and this they cer
tainly got W their votes, but the
ebungo when recoil , d was not what
they had bargain-d for. They apur
anlly would like now to return the
package and prepay charges on It, but
those from whom they received it taki
tlie position that no mistakes will In
corrected after you leave the window
It is my opinion that if we could today ^
return to the prosperity we enjoy ed .1
few months ago people would think
before making a change.

Dirt in your Gngine Oib
Qet rid of it !
X LARGE quantity of dust-laden air is "inhaled" by the
^vdaily operation of an automobile engine. With this mad
dust, carbon and fine particles of metal get into the lubri
catmg oil and circulate through your engine, lowering the
efficiency of its operation. Add to this dirt the gasoline
that escapes past the pistons and dilutes the oil —
Here you have a combination
t»i«t wears and tears and grinds
away, every day adding a little
more dirt and forcing a little more
unnecessary wear on bearing sur
faces. Result: slow r»*sponse—less
power—poor performance —
shorter engine life.
Our new Modern Crankcase
Cleaning Service is the enemy of
dirt in the crankcase—it means
k ‘ clean oil in a clean engine." The
Calol Flushing Oil we use is the
new, scientific, thorough flushing
agent that does not contaminate
the fresh Zerolene refilled into
your cleaned crankcase. This
modern, convenient service, given
quickly and at a nominal cost,
returns your engine to you clean
and fresh, ready to give that sat
isfactoi y j>erformance you expect.
