Motor Truck

Lowers Farm Costs

rTUIE farmer of the Middle West is a I business man who utilizes every labor or time-saving device to increase his profits. That’s why the farmer is coming to be the heaviest buyer of motor trucks. At seeding time he hauls his seed to the field, thus economizing hand labor; at harvest time he hauls his grain, potatoes, and other produce, to market, and distance being a less prohibitive factor, is able to secure better prices; and all through the year he hauls his live-stock and chickens to market, and is able to deliver them in better condition, and with a minimum of shrinkage. These are a few reasons why the farmer finds the motor truck profitable. It must be apparent, then, that in no other part of the nation is rural distribution of petroleum products quite so important as in the states served hy the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). These are the farming states which supply not only the Middle West but the entire nation with food. The ten states served by this Company are well termed the bread-basket of the nation. To be of economic service to the farmer, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) maintains throughout the territory it serves a complete chain of b*ilk stations, with tank wagons for delivery throughout the rural districts. The farmer has come to know that he can depend upon this service even under most trying conditions. That busy, dark green tank wagon serves the farmer with all the faithfulness with which the milk wagon and the ice wagon serve the flat dweller in the city. The comprehensive distribution system of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is geared to service at the lowest possible cost. The money thus saved through large scale operation is passed on to the consumer by reasonable tank wagon prices throughout the territory served. That this complete and highly efficient system of distribution maintained by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is indispensable to the new type of business farmer, no one acquainted with the facts can doubt.

The Flirt

Thb girl, who was a very pretty girl, pointed an accusing finger at Freddy ihair and laughed. "Freddy," she cried, “you’d be the most frightened mortal on earth If I • should say ‘yes'—if 1'should really j ’omise to marry you.” Freddy looted offended at this. "1 don’t see why you say that, Emma," he replied. "Surely I’ve proposed to you enough times to show that I’m in earnest.’’ i “That’s Just it,’’ the girl rushed on. “That’s the very reason you i ropose. You are mortally certain that I’ll refuse you, and yet each time tnere is the pleasurable excitement of fearing that, after all. this may be the time/ that 1 accept. You are an old fraud,”l she laughed again. "Huh!’’ said Freddy, “you’-e certain ly long on the logic. Hut how are you going to explain the first time that I proposed? I didn’t have all your refusals then to make me think you were going to turn me down.” “Oh. I can explain that all rignt.” re plied Emma, airily. "I noticed that you didn’t propose uetil you heard me declare that I wasn’t going to marry for a long time, and that 1 wouldn’t accept any man until I was ready to ma , ‘- ry ” “Freddy looked at the giil wiih a sudden gleam in his eyes. “I believe that the period you named during v hich you would not get married was a year?” ho questioned alertly. For some reason the girl blushed at this. "Maybe I did say a year,’’ she teplied hastily. Then she rushed on. “Don’t you know, Freddy," she asked, “that if I wasn’t so well acquainted with you, you might have made me believe that you were really in love with me, with your countless proposals. But, luckily, 1 know ’hat you’re a desperate flirt!’’ “What!” cried Freddy. "Y’ou can’t name another girl that I’ve proposed to as much as I have to you.” "Perhaps not,’’ assented En m i, “bat It’s only because you haven’t had the | chance.” “Is that, so?” answered Freddv, I somewhat hotly. “Well, I’m going to ‘ propose to you just once more.” He :..ok out his watch and looked at it It was just three minutes of J?. “Do you lealize,” he continued, “that the year during which you said you would not become engaged is now up? So i.’ I didn’t really want you if 1 was really afraid that you would accept me—I wouldn't propose again. But here goes, for f%c last time. Emma, will you marr me?’’ j “No, you silly boy.” the girl replied. ! sweetly. I Dark despair swept over Freddy. He j hadn’t really expected that answer. | The one he had expected was “yes.” Involuntarily he sighed. He snapped j hack the lid of his watch and prepared tc go. The 12 o’clock church bells rang out. Before he had taken over two steps from her, Emma called to h.m softly. "Freddy,’’ she cried, “you were just a little premature. My year wasn’t up until 12 o’clock, and as you say you won’t propose again and as you’re in earnest and I’m in I Oh, Freddy, Freddy, dear, will you mar^y me?” Freddy's tunm’tuous answet was sufficient.

USEFUL IN SMALL APARTMENTS FOP KEEPING MANY THINGS AT HAND.

The Kitchen Bag for Ironing Ncedfula Should Be Made of a Strong Duality of Ticking.

In the small apartment where apace is at a premium, bags are almost as valuable as closet-room. A number of tilings that would be endlessly In the way scattered on ilie closet-floor may be kept conveniently at band, yet quite out of the way, in Dags on the closet door. Some of the most ueetiil bags for apartment housekeeping are: The shoe bag. on the upper part of the closet door; the paper and string bag, on the lower half of the same door; the laundry b.,g. !n the bathroom: the ducteloth bag r. gay silk affair, which may ha.ig ’.n the hall; the mending bag. the rtarni. hag, various piece bags for remnants of light and dark fabrics, lac-’s, buttons, and notions, all of which may hang near the sewing machine from small brass hooks screwed Into the wall. Kitchen hags should Include the strong ticking bag for Ironing needfuls—holders, wax, pressing cloths and the like: the laundry hag for rolled dish towels and table napkins (which should always be kept separate from the general family laundry bag in the bathroom) and a flat bag of light oilcloth, in which lamp cloths, polishing cloths and other cloths saturated with oil may be stored away Be a dreamer if .m will, but get up and hustle •• hen the alarm clock goes. There doesn't live a man who objects to having nice things said about him.
