1 ■ ' ==sa—ca YOUR CAR KNOWS | THE DIFFERENCE I FT ILL your tank with Standard Motor Gasoline, and you fl notice the difference instantly in the "feel" of your engine. Standard Motor Gasoline is so much better than "just gas" that it is worth while to be particular about what goes into your tank. Cylinder carbon frequently is caused by the use of an inferior fuel. Standard Motor Gasoline vaporizes readily and burns cleanly. It is a straight-distilled product, - not a mixture — the same for every drop in your tank. You can get Standard Motor Gasoline wherever you can take a car. It is abso- * • lutely uniform — the same now as next week, and it is cheaper to buy because there are more miles in a gallon. Use Polarine Oil, the Standard Oil for all motors. Friction free, carbon free. For sale wherever you see the "Standard Motor Gasoline Service Station" sign.

situated in the South.

The average acreage per farm operated negroes was 473, as compared with an average acreage of 153 for farms operated by whites. Threefourths of the negro farmers were tenants and one-fourth owners, in while more than two-tliirds of the white farm operators were owners.
