Do You Remember Gasless Sundays? XyO better way could be found to illustrate and emphasize the usefulness of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), and the broad and varied service it renders, than to take five minutes and imagine a gasless year. Think how our lives instead of being full and complete through association with our fellow men would be circumscribed by the barriers set up by shank’s mare. Think how manufacturing would be hampered. How industry generally would be crippled. How crops would go to waste through inability to harvest, and the leaps and bounds that the cost of living would take. Instead of the natural expansion of business that comes from service and usefulness, the whole structure of business would be hampered through sheer inability to render to society that service which society has been accustomed to demand. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a public servant owned by 4649 stockholders, no one of whom holds as much as 10 percent of the stock. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is doing a big job in a big way and has grown great simply by reaping the rewards that come from rendering the service demanded by business and society in a manner satisfactory and beneficial to the world at large.

been caught or observed at the dam in the Penobscot river at Bangor, but the principal run is in Passamoquoddy bay and streams tributary thereto, especially in Dennys river and Pembroke river. “The herring weirs in Passamoquody bay are taking considerable numbers of humpbacks, and it was reported some days ago that an Eastport herring fisherman had a boatload of humpbacks which were sold at 16 cents a pound and more recent re-

ports are that these fish are bringing C the fisherman 20 cents a pound and are being retailed at 40 to 50 cents a pound. One of the bureau's superintendents who has been investigat- a ing on the spot writes that people a who have eaten humpbacks claim f them to be as good as Atlantic sal- t mon. This is probably true of the 1 fish just running in from the sea, but 1 rapid deterioration of the flesh en- 1 sues after the humpltacks enter fresh < water.” • I THE RAILROAD SITUATION 1 Washington, Sept. 18. —Walker L. 1 Hines, director general of railroads. 1 today authorized the following state 1 I ment relative to the car situation in. .the United States: |' “The Railroad Administration is ful- : ly alive to the importance of the car 1 supply situation in the United States land is handling the matter energet- ' ically. “Instructions have been issued to i all the regional directors urging them i ' to bend eyery effort 1— To speed up road and yard ' ments; 2 — To secure heavier loading of equipment; | j 3 —To establish and maintain complete and accurate yard cheeks; i 4— To reduce the number of bar order cars; | 5 — To' make prompt delivery to connections; 6 — To effect early deliveries at freight houses and teamtracks; and | ) 7 —To expediate the movement of grain cars in terminals. “Instructions have also been issued for the establishment in each important terminal of a committee of .officers of the railroad administration' i whose duty it will be to study and expediate the movement of cars, empty and loaded, in their respective terminals. ' “Every effort is being made to speed up the construction of freight cars ordered by the railroad administration last year and to place in service such of these cars as are ■still in storage. The railroad administration has decided to place all these cars in service i irrespectable of whether or not the allocations are accepted by the railroad corporations.” , VETERAN VISITS BLUFFTON Clark Brothers, probably the oldest G. A. R. veteran in Indiana, was here from Decatur yesterday to visit comrades. He is ninety-seven years old. He was a member of the 47th Indiana Co. C, which Mr. Dougherty and several others i nthis locality belonged to. He was thirty-nine years of age when he volunteered. Shot through the right lung at the battle of Champion Hills, he managed to recover and now is seemingly in as good a health as he was when he was fifty years old. Only his sight is impaired, he having lost one eye.— Bluffton News. TREE-SPRAYING APPARATUS TOURS BIG TERRITORY) One of the developments of the fight against tree pests in a mobile, power sprayer that is touring the' middle west, working in certain localities only so long as its services are demanded, then moving to another fjeld. The apparatus is mounted on the chassis of a stock model one-ton i truck, says the October Popular Mechanics Magazine, in an illustrated article. A solution containing arsenate of lead is used in the sprayer in warm weather, and one made with lime and sulphur in cold weather. GEIMER SALE OCT. 15th Fred Geimer will hold a public sale on his farm 1 mile southwest of Decatur on October 15th, further announcement of which will be made in the Daily Democrat within a week or so.

GARAGE BUILT OF ELEVATORS STORES AUTOS IN TIERS The problem of caring for many autos in a limited ground space*is solved by an Oregon designer, with a garage containing as many floors as an office building, which is described with illustration in the Octobeg Popular Mechanics Magazine. The building is practically made up of banks cf elevators, and each elevator likewise has many stories, or tiers of cells. The floor of each compartment slopes toward the rear, so that the car is safely retained in its stall, and any drippings of oil or gasoline are caught in a trough and piped away to protect the car below. By using hydraulic elevators, the tops of winch ate clear oi obstructions, the entire garage floor space may consist of elevators. The method, while expensive, is declared to be really economical for locations of high ground value.

'operating TABLE FOR HOGS : INVENTED BY A KANSAS MAN The chief difficulty encountered in ■ J administering anticholera serum to hogs—that of holding the animal while I the fluid is injected—has been overcofne, it is asserted, by an operating ! table recently invented by a Kansas veterinary surgeon, and described i with illustration in the October Pop-' I ular Mechanics Magazine. Besides | I holding a porker in the proper post- ■ I tion for inosulation, the contrivance I | weighs the hog. It consists of a V-|| shaped trough, held in an inclined po-|| l sition by a collapsible steel frame: I weighs 40 lb., and can be folded and I carried on the running board of an automobile. | FROM BLUFFTON NOT DECATUR I I I Evidently the girls arrested at Hun- | jtington recently, were former Bluffton girls, instead of Decatur girls, as given in one dispatch from Huntington. ! The Bluffton News says: I “Frances Brandbury and Hazel Horner, and their step-father. Grover Swathwood, their mother. Mrs. Sarah . Horner, former Bluffton people drew , fines in police court at Huntington on Tuesday. The two girls plead guilty to statutory charges and were fined ' $5 and costs each and were ordered | out of town, while Mr. and Mrs. | Horner, charged with running a dls- . orderly 'house, were fined $lO and 1 costs each, as was Evert Swain, on t a charge of association. A case 3 against Raymond Barnes was continj tied. Barnes' wife filed suit for div- . ! orce at Huntington on Tuesday. The arrests of the parties occurred last . Saturday on complaint to the police t by Mrs. Barnes, who complained about . her husband going to the Horner ,1 home.” » BOUND TO PROSPER (United Press Service) Chicago, Sept. 18.— (Special to Daily Democrat) —“The new nations of the Jews is bound to prosper.” This was the view of reformists Jews as given today in an interview | by Fros. C. Deutsch, of Hebrew Union [college, Cincinnati. J Heretofore the [reformists element have opposed the Zionist project, and for the first time in history members of that party today worked with Zionists to formulate plans for carrying out their nationalistic aspirations. i Jesse Cole spent last evening, the guest of friends in this city.

IS IT YOUR CAR? About mid night last night someone drove a Willys-Knight five-passenger automobile up the lane of i ) the J. L. Case farm, one mile and a I half west of the Schafer Saddlery I [company and this morning when Mr. I Cline came to town the automobile | was still standing there but the owners were not in sight. Mr. Cline ' ! stated that the Willys-Knight had an ’ Indiana license number plate No. M 428, it evidently belonging to a dealer. Mr. Cline asked us to mention the fact ’jin the paper, fearing that possibly the 1 ) car had been stolen and had been left there for the rightful owner to claim. -I 1 NAMES SUPT.
