I got all tidied up^ aorta late, and then found the dratted at was out o' gas--and Dozen Fqrks all o* four miles away. "Well, my wife had an idea. "Wait'Il I get that little bottle o' gas I got from the Standard Oil Station to kill the ants with,' says she. "I lowed as how it was foolish, but we'd try it. So she brought out a little 2-ounce bottle and we dumped the Standard Red Crown it held into the gas tank. I started off, figuring mebbe * I'd make a hundred rod. "But I got past the next farm--and the next--'n 'fore I knew it there I was in front o' the Grange with the motor still runnin'. Figure it out for yourself... four miles worth o' distance on two ounces o*. Red Crown. That's 232 miles to the gallon. That's mileage, mister!... Eh? ... Sure, the* whole Grange is using Red Crown now." We think Standard Red Crown is gfd, too, but we refuse to be taken ' in by Lester's vivid report. It's not THAT good.
