General Wood is going to visit Fort Wayne and something seems to tell us that the Lowden. Harding and Johnson backers are going to do some “knocking on wood.” Plant a peck or two of potatoes and you'll not regret it this fall. The price for spuds is high we know, but they'll be still higher this winter if there is no crop and the demand is five times greater than the supply, so it‘may be worth the price to plant a few now. The Indiana delegation in con gress, including the two senators, no doubt fearing that the people backhome might think that they were not spending their time in Washington, had their pictures taken the other day. which is their best proof that they are “still on the job.' Bravo boys. The overall fad is gaining in popularity and if every man should don one, it would of course give the woolen mills a chance to catch up. but on the other hand the overall factories would be taxed beyond capacity and as the demand for these garments grow, the price would soar. If you want to conserve, why not continue to wear your old suit, patch it if necessary and in that way Cut down consumption. The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette says: “Our evening contemporary has been much confused and grieved because of its inability to learn “who; McCulloch is.” Now it knows for Charles A. Bookwaiter made it quite jffmr at the Fesler meeting. "I know Dr. McCulloch." said the former mayor of Indianapolis. “He is an affable fellow-, a lovable fellow, against whom no one can say aught.” The introduction will serve.” It seems that the charges made by McCray against Fesler, by Toner against McCray and by Fesler

' - ' against McCray, the three republican candidates for the nomination for governor are serious enough to warrant a rigid investigation. At least it is a disgrace to the citizens of Indiana to have such charges made against men who are aspiring to be the governor of a great state, and it is doubtful whether many will vote for the successful nominee. The

1 people are disgusted with their campaign and it will reflect on their ' chances of election in the fall. __________ Robert Miller, the notorious sheriff. of Marion county and five of his i former “trusties” have been indicted by the federal grand jury and war rants issued for their arrest. The sheriff is held on the charge of neg lect of duty, while the former em ployees are charged with assault and battery on prisoners, keeping a gambling house within the jail and allowing prisoners to escape. The conditions found at the jail are hor rible and without doubt the worst that have ever been unearthed in a place that was supposed to be a house of detention or correction, but which was presided over by a criminal far worse than any prisoner under his charge. The jail was found to be in a filthy and dirty con dition, the beds and bedding infested with insects and the food given the prisoners was not sufficient to keep the inmates alive. A remarkable thing about the findings of the grand jury is that all the investigations ( made by the state agencies did not ; uncover one thing wrong with the ; jail. The sheriff must have made friends with the state investigating committees. Huntington county, which has reas- ’ onably hoped that the Goodrich ad ' ministration would give the people a ( real state good-roads program, are doomed to be disappointed. Some of I them may not have learned this yet. but they will learn it in the course of the next few weeks, as additional j information comes to light about < . . < what the state highway commission ( has done and has failed to do. A j year ago last February Mr. Wright j of the state commission met Elev- I enth district good-roads advocates < at Wabash. Huntington county had ' 1 almost the total representation at ( this meeting. Huntington county also was emphatically and enthusiast-

icaily in favor of brick roads. Mr. Wright talked cwuwiit. He seemed to stumble every time he came to that word “brick.” But cement roads were better than none, and Huntington county rested content in the belief that “somethin* would be done.” The state highway law said that the roads were to be mapped out definitely by April 1, were to be filed with the governor April 1. and were to be approved by the governor not later than April I. But the first half of April slipped away and the people of Huntington county were I still in the dark regarding the routI Ing of two of their highways. There are to be only three. The state administration has failed to keep its own highway law. In the meantime there have been numerous complaints from Indianapolis. 'Accusations have been made. The governor himself, who, under centralization of power controls the highway commission and can dictate to it, is interested in cement plants. It would not be so bad to foist personal interest on the state in the name of his satanic majesty, but to do it in the name of a Sunday school teacher surpasses understanding.— Huntington Press. WIFE TICKLED NECK OF DIPLOMAT, CHARGE Former Russian Official Asks Divorce From Playful Spouse. (United Press Service) San Francisco, April 20. —Kittenish antics of his wife drove him almost to distraction. Alexandre Khodjayan, former official of the Russian government, says in a suit for divorce pending here. Thef were married in London and he took his bride. Blanche Khodjayan. to Petrograd where, he declares, she , “jazzed up” an official party. Great was his embarrassment. Khodjayan recites, when his wife tickled the neck of a great dignitary who sat next to her at a banquet of high officials in Petrograd. There ensued, according to his complaint, “great whispering and merriment but poorly concealed among the thirty officials, to the in- i tense humiliation of the plaintiff.” i For that he forgave her. Khodjayan ' asserts, but when sire c-afled on him while he was in a hospital here and displayed famy stockings she had . purchased, to him and all others in range, it was much too much. She ' was wearing the hosiery at the time, ' he says. i —— < CUT THIS OUT—IT IS WORTH MONEY Cut out this slip, enclose ! with 5c and mail it to Foley & Co.. 2835 Sheffield Ave., Chi- ' cago. 111., writing your name and ad- ; dress clearly.

16 Million 438 Thousand Miles a Day THIS is the potential mileage supplied daily to the peopleof the Middle West by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). In arriving at these figures we have taken ten miles per gallon as the performance of the average car and multiplied it by 600.000,000' the number of gallons of gasoline marketed by this Company last year, and divided the result by 365, The task confronting the Company is a dual one. Not only must it maintain this flow of gasoline at all times, but it must so plan its activities as to keep pace with constantly increasing demand for fuel, whether this demand be normal or abnormal. That, in a word, is the job of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and the Company is as big as its job. Every resource, every ounce of energy, and all its equipment are at work to keep pace with the insistent demands for gasoline and other products. The management recognizes its respaisibility to the motorists of the 11 states the Company serves, and every effort is being made to meet this responsibility. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 S.
