The heat wave took over six hundred lives before Old Sol took mercy and turned off the gas. It is claimed the totals are the highest ever recorded in this country and it is hoped that we have passed the worst part , of the hot season. ■ The Farmer's State bank at La fountaine closed its doors yesterday, a regrettable indication of the nor- ( tnalcy period which we seem to be reaching. It is believed that depositors will be paid in full, according to the early statements given out, but • r so far no cause has been announced Well, what's the matter with this weather? The air is just about right, the earth has had her first couple of drinks in several weeks, the crops -look better -than the most optimistic thought was possible a few days ago and the thermometers are again able 1 to take care of the mercury without n slopping it over the top. So lets gel out the old smile and wear it again e This is a good time to start licking the weed crop, if you don't watch 1 them they will run away with them 11 selves and before you know it, will 1 be ruiniotts to the appearance of your 11 property. Mr. Hansen of Purdue will ' i< be here Thursday to teil us all about e Ihe weeds of Indiana and how to get rid of them. His visit should be a valuable one to the people of this 1 ii county. ___ a Governor Al Smith, of New York, f' is ill with a throat ailment which his a made it impossible for him to speak s above a whisper. H s secretary has C cancelled 1.048 speaking engagements for the balance of the year and there P are those who try to convince them 11 solves and others that he is un popular. The truth is he is the ablest governor the Empire state has had in < a decade or two, best evidence of I which is that they keep on re-electint 1 him and he keeps on making good. | pillions of admirers over the land ‘ at ■ hoping for h s speedy and com- ' plete recovery. I The Pennsylvania railroad has j ; ued an inteiesting twenty-fedr pag< booklet entitled, "Think, Driver think," and which calls attention to c the danger of railroad crossings, in ■pictures, words, tables and statistic: that ought to impress themselves on J the minds of the public. It shows the constantly growing number of . -it mobiles and railroad crossing \ jn l consequently the always increased ( number of crossing accidents and I Y gr. ; one the idea of how the railroad < lias t red for years to remedy this ab 1 how helpless they are without th" co-operation of the drivers of the i ’ . ■ 'noon mil Ton autos in this i ir It.; worth reading anil thbiking about.

J . old-time blockader that don't g ve j a damn for law and prohibition, j Retailed on the Asheville market i by all the high-class bootleggers . for five hones per pint and worth every cents of it. Guaranteed to be strong enough to make you drunk as the devil in in minutes and mean enough to make a baby bull frog spit in the face of a whale. Shake well and get ready to have a fit before drinking." A well known Decafur lady who is always a booster told us of a man who came here a few weeks ago to locate and who is the best advertiser of Decatur she knows. He declares that his travels and his work have taken him all over this country and Canada abd fliat no where has he found a more hospital people, a finer little city, a more delightful place and he is asking the company he represents to permit him to become a permanent citizen here. Thats what we like to hear and we hope the gentleman keeps on tellKg his story and talking this brand of optimism until he awakens every citizen here and induces them to join his club. We agree with him and we thank him for the encouragement. And we also thank the lady who thought enough of his remarks to tell us about them. A twelve-year-old boy stepped off a ledge in the Schurger creek last evening and was drowned. These occurances are depressing but should make every one more careful. Children who go to the water should remember the advice and admonitions of older people. The season has already brought an unusual number of drownings, it seems, in this section of the state. It can happen so quickly and is so needless if the children and even the older tolks will just be more cautious and remember that it is dangerous to go beyond your depths in the water until you have become an expert swimmer. Even those who feel they can handle themselves often are mistaken and when they suddenly step into deep water become helpless. Children should not go bathing in the creeks or rivers without someone experienced being w.'th them. Swim- ■ ming is always a sport in which great care should be exercised.

LIFE’S ALL

A little patch of sunshine. And a little patch of blue. The songbirds gayly singing A little for me and you; The sound of childish laughter Near many a happy door. Here's all that makes for gladness, The world can- give no more. A few bright blossoms nodding To greet The morning sun. - A tank that will reward us With pride when it is done; A friend or two to follow Our fortunes, good or ill, No more than this we'll harvest Howe'er the purse we fill.

Profit and Service In a recent article on economics in "The Nation’s Business,” Foster and Catchings, say- " Profit-making was maintained and developed by American statesmen and legislators, with the approval of economists, because these men believed that profit-making by manufacturers, traders and financiers was the most effective way of increasing national wealth." the Standard Oil (Indiana) believes only in profits which accrue from service. This Company is in business to serve its patrons. and through this service to earn an adequate profit for the stockholders whose money has made the industry possible. Profit is the life-blood of industry, but the profit taken must be an exact return for the service rendered. Profiteering is abhorrent to the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in serving gasoline and oils is rendering a fundamental service, not only to immediate patrons, but to everyone in the Middle West. The progress of the community depends upon these products. Without them, farmers could not produce sufficient food-stuffs, nor could industry produce sufficient clothing, shelter, light, heat and other necessities of life. The providing of gasoline and oils can be accomplished only by specialists. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), in particular, has developed through years of effort an organization of specialists, men who know- their jobs from the ground up, and who think of these jobs primarily as a service. These men are experts. No matter what demand may be made npon them, in the line of their work, they are equal to the emergency. Such a body of employes, organized under expert direction, such as obtains in this Company, is a valuable asset to the community. While man is constituted as he is today, x the incentive to action will always be a reward of .some sort. And profit, when it is the result of honest, useful service, undertaken for a fair and agreed return, is the most powerful incentive. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to the last man, is in business first and foremost to render service. It is to the interest of this Company to sell gasoline and oils as cheaply as possible, that they may be within reach of all. For only by sales on a mighty scale can this Company continue to succeed.
