that is the sameness!
4 Everywhere you go, from Maine

are nourished by the same traditions

, spired by the same ideals and, to be
mundane and practical, served by
the same producers.

the 18th century even smells the
same as a 10-cent store on the street

window you feel yourself "at home"
no matter where you are or what
part of the country you hail from.

was laid open from the shoulder to
his elbow, he was literally covered
with blood and looked like a stabbed
hog. The clothing on the left side
of the Thatch woman's body was
soaked with blood, the lung puncture
making the cutting even more serious.
With summer on the wane, State
College specialists recommend the
following good farming practices for
September, the first autumn month
of the year:
Plant winter grazing crops now,
says Earl H. Hostetler, professor of
animal husbandry. Italian rye grass
or any of the cereal grains make ex
cellent grazing for all kinds of live
stock during the winter and early
spring. The grazing will be improv
ed and the period extended if white
Dutch clover or crimson clover is
seeded with the grain er grass.

specimens, but those which are typi
cal of the variety. Then wrap each
one in paper and pack snugly. Vege
tables for exhibit should be free
from blemishes, clean and fully ma
tured. Jack Rowell, extension entomolo
gist, adds this suggestion to the
September list: Tobacco fields should
be plowed and planted to a good
cover crop to aid in the control of
tobacco insects. This will prevent
the development of tobacco suckers
which furnish a food suddIv for

You pay money for gasoline.
You get mileage from gasoline. Tbemore
mileage you get from it, the less it costs.
The more-performance you get along with
that mileage, the more you get for your
money.
That's why so many people around here
have switched or are switching to new
1940 Solvenized Pure-Pep.
This pepped-up, modern motor fuel
actually weighs more, gallon for gallon,
t therefore gives you more power, gallon
for gallon, and stretches out that power
into extra miles.
And, m addition to all these new features,
you get the chemical bonus that makes this
new gasoline distinctly different from any
other. It's Pure Oil's famous chemical com

excess motor carbon.
It still costs no more than regular at
our station where you see the big, blue
