So far as looks are concerned, Staebler Gasoline differs not at all from
ordinary kinds. Nor is the Staebler gallon any larger. But when it
comes to actual performance, motorists are quick to realize the superiority of this remarkable fuel.
Yet it costs no more.

Placed on Retired List -With Pay After 44 Years of Service.
Frank Rose, who was reiqently
j-lfaced on the retired list .by the New
York Central Lines, after serving
the railroad at various places for thie
past 44 yeairs, was born in Lyndon.

shortly {thereafter was taken to the
vicinity of Baton Rapids, where, except for a short interval when the
flamily returned to Washtenaw, he
lived tiha-oughout his boyhood and
young nuanihlood.
He entered the service of the company in 1882. It was then known as
the Lake Shorie & Michigan Southern.
In 1886 he came to Bridgewater,
where he served as sba.tionm.an for a
time, later being transfennqd to Summit. From, there 'hie went to Somerset in 1890, conning to Saline in 1'899.
And since that date he has served

BOOK HORSE PULLING
CONTESTS FOR STATE
Michigan     Champions    Will     Enter
National Tests.
Michigan's b;»t horseflesh will
prove itself next israimimer during a
series .oif special horse pulling contests to be .held- at fairs and agricultural meetings scattered all over the
state.
. Tests of this kind in the state for
dh.e first time during the summer of
1925 aroused so much interest among
farmers and 'other horsemen that the
events will be held on. much larger
scale during the coming season, according to the farm and horse de-
ptairtment at the Michigan State .college, sponsors of the pulling contents.
The so-called Collins dynamometer,
an in genius machine which measures
accurately the exact pull exerted by
each team .hitched to the bar, will be
used in the contests.
More than a dozen other states will
hold similar horse pulling events during the summer, and plans call for a
national contest far the winners in
each state. Michigan horses last
year ranted high among those of
the country which entered the tests.
Determining and emphasizing the
factors which make for increased
pulling power, especially among-
farm horses, are said to be the real
purposes of the contests. The spee-
taeuilar nature of the tests, with conn-
petition frequently reaching stages of
keenest excitement, results in a lot
of entertainment as well.
Fif.jeen contests in ths lower peninsula, mostly at wounty fairs, have
alrealy been booked, while imiany aire
being set for the Upper Peninsula.
The horses in the contests are
divided into two sections, over and
under 3,000 pounds.

Feeling the genuine nDed of an accident insurance' of -ihw kind for our
readers has proniipt^.d the publisher
of the Observer to get in line with ths
acci-'tent insurance idea locally. Automobile acecidents are numerous and
becoming more so ever - day. With
the spring and summer season upon
us. bringing with it iiKreaso** traffic
on every highway opportunity- for accidents is greatly increased. Appearance of the motor bus a.n.d p-s=.enser
traffic on the public highway only
adds to this ha^ai-d. Cros**in-** accidents are numerous, while collisions
and wrecks of interurbans and trains
are not beyond the realm of possibility, happening frequently throughout
•tihe country. And while it is to be
hoped none in thfe tv.rrito.-y will become victims or another's carel ssness,
yet there remains the fact that accidents do happen witih more or *e?s
regularity and possession of an aieci--
dent insurance- policy such as is offered" by the Observer to Ps subserib-
ers and readers would prove welcome
to the ones who must carry on.
Every member of the family from
15 to 70 years may register for one of
tihese policies by simply remitting She
dollar w'th the name, age and address.   Do. it now!

years, is at present a member of the

LET   US   T\KE   TIME—NOT   LIFE
In 1924 tlie vehicles of a large oil
company of Indiana crossed railroad
tracks 3L00O,O0O times without an accident, a,n average of 85,000 safe
crossings per day.
Because drivers did not cross tracks
until they knew the train was approaching,
Had all other drivers employed the
same sense, not one of Uhe 2,149 persons killed at railroad crossings in
1924 would have perished and not
one of the 6.525 injured would 'have
been maimed.
All of us have known, these things
for a long time, but we often fail to
apply the knowledge.
"Wisdom is the princ'pal thing;
therefore get wisdom; and with all
the getting, get understanding." says
tihe good book.
In othT words, think!
The perils of the rail-dead crossing
exist onlv for the careless.
The r*"ice of safety is caution.
The penalty of carelessness is disaster.
These are - not man-made laws;
they are nature's laws and nature
always enforces  her decrees.
The choice is ours,. We pay the
price or we suffer the penalty.
Let us cross crossings cautiously—
every time!
