THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15. 1932 THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA GREAT INDIAN DAM SERVES VAST AREA f The Lloyd barrage at Sukkur, India, took eight years to complete. The bar- j rage commands an area of 8,000,000 acres In Sing, the land actually irri gated by the canals being 6,000,000 acres—500,000 acres more than the total area of cultivation in the whole of Egypt. It has cost £3.500,000 to build, £1,000,000 more than the Assuan dam. It carries two mighty bridges across the Indus, each of them nearly a mile long. The dam is pierced by 06 open ings, each of 60 feet span, between which huge steel gates Will operate. ‘ There are seven large canals, three of them wider than the Suez canal. The Rohri canal, the biggest,-is.over 205 miles long, with 2,300 miles of branches and distributaries. The Central Rice canal Has a dis charge equal to that of the Thames, while the excavation work done on the canals was equal to four Suez canals or 100 Great pyramids. The irrigated lands will produce an annual crop ol 2,000,000 tons of grain and cotton. The complete scheme of barrage and canals was estimated to cast £12,000,000. HAPPY HITS Following precedents ts done to save thinking. Very few are satified with the re venge they get. A versatile person is pretty sure to have intense vitality. A rich farmer is one who dies with $20,000 in the bank. Isn’t there any actor who can play “Rip Van Winkle” now? Men have found dying for freedom much simpler than getting it A city is full of opportunities and full of men grabbing for them. A bird is not happy. It is always afraid of something; as men are. A reporter despises being handed a wisecrack when he wants a fact. There are ever so many more ex plorers than there Is exploring to do. There is a day of reckoning in ev ery lifetime; sometimes two or three. When men were given the vote, it added a new value in society to every man. Conservatism always triumphs if a man’s circumstances become comfort able. A man cannot have his cake and eat it, too—esjteeially on his first trip across the pond. After some couples have been di vorced, they meet amiably and never quarrel any more. Rich men who stock up a splendid private library hardly ever have any time io spend in it. All men admire ^selLcontro!: in oth- ers; and they like it in themselves if they can only achieve it. In the old novels, you delighted in the beautiful and scholarly English, but who writes like that now? • HBRB AND HBRRABOUTB. • Wilson Sanders went down to Charleston Friday to enter The Cita del.

FOR SATISFACTORY RESULTS ADVERTISE In The People-SentiMk There is only Marriag* “Rackat” A couple in Pittsburgh made a rack et of having themselves “married.” Theih victims were all clergymen. Aft er each ceremony the “bridegroom” gave a check for $25 and requested $15 change. The checks, of course, were all worthless and the poor clergy men were the losers. When arrested, the “bridegroom” admitted that In four years he and his accomplice had held hands before different ministers LjftS times, but hfd never been actual- lyTnarried, as they had always used a fake license.

I wanted to And out what Mabel told her about me.—London Amswaca. The perfect motor oil must excel in five qualities—ability to keep its body, winter fluidity, low carbon, low consumption, and long life. The best Paraffinic oils rate well in three of these qualities. They are deficient in two. Naphthenic (Asphal tic) oils rate well in two of these qualities—are deficient in three. There has been no commercial method—before hydrofining—which could combine the good qualities of these two types of oils. Essolube, the hydrofined oil, com bines these qualities for the first time. It keeps its body under tre mendous engine heat and at ex tremely low temperatures. This means protection for your engine at all temperatures—less wear on your motor and fewer repair bills for worn-out parts—less wear on your battery. It has winter fluidity. This means it flows freely in cold weather and reduces wear on your motor dur ing winter. It has next to no carbon —this means fewer repair bills for carbon cleaning jobs. It gives you low consumption. This means it lubricates longer, reduces bills for worn-out bearings, reduces oil bills. It has long life. This means it doesn*t sludge— fewer oil changes, further savings on oil bills. Essolube—the Esso of motor oils —is on sale at all dealers and stations of the following companies at no extra cost: Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, Standard Oil Company of Pennsylvania, Standard Oil Com- ms) of pany ot Louisiana, Standard Oil Company, Incorporated in Kentucky, Colonial Beacon Oil Company, Inc. tssolube .w«vA;, v. j ■ m W&& ’Omk M F^EE BOOKLET— u Essolube, A Five-Star Motor Oil? gives you the story of the great hydrofining invention which makes Essolube possible.
