Saving 3 Hours 53 Minutes on Every Bushel of Corn /I R. Frank D. Gardner in SuccessV I F arm ’ n E sa y s that’ w ’th man power, from plowing to feed trough it takes four hours and thirty-four minutes work to raise one bushel of corn. The use of power machinery has reduced this to forty-one minutes, thus enabling one man to do the work of six. The importance of this saving of time may be realized when we learn that for 1920 lowa is short 50,000 farm hands. Similar conditions are reported from the Middle West generally. This presents a serious problem. The answer is gasoline power used in tractor, truck and automobile. The food supply of the future depends upon gasoline. Last year the Standard Oil Company(lndiana) provided the Middle West with power for 16,438,000 motor miles a day. Much of this went to the farms to help multiply the crops. Much of it was used in motor trucks to help the farmer get his crops to market. The demand for gasoline was great, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) was ready with the supply. That silent, watchful readiness was based upon the foresight and resourcefulness of an organization trained to its task through years of experience. The manufacture of gasoline, is not the sole function of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Equally important is its service of placing the gasoline where the consumer can get it easily and quickly. More than 1,300 Service Stations and over 7,000 tank wagons and trucks are operated by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to make gasoline and lubricating oils constantly available for increasing the 1920 crops.

them are decidedly anti in their atti lude. If you have a few thousand dollars tucked away, just invest it in United States Liberty bonds at the present prices. It’s safe and the best money maker on the market, for when the money-grabbers of the East have tin Ished their play to push the market down, you will see the bonds rise in value rapidly and steadily. The Decatur Independent Chautauqua, to be held the week of July 27th. offers a program that will please every one who attends. The ticket sale will opbn in a few days and the way to do it is to get busy right away and dispose of them. Each number on the program is worth the price ot admission for the season, so your invest ment makes you a thousand per cent Northern Indiana fair week in Decatur will surpass any event held her, since the Old Home week of 1912 and the boys in charge are hoping to ever, surpass that occasion for crowds, er. tertainment and real pleasure. You will enjoy it more if you have youi friends come home for the week and you will help out the committee tvold Home Week Albert Sellemeyer is again devoting his time and efforts to give Decatui a first-class band. He is not doing this as a money-making proposition but because he likes the work and be lieves that a good city always sup ports a good band. He is deservin' of support in his efforts. Boost tin new city band, financially, as well by' word of mouth. The West 'tifinlvs the Eastern sen ators imt it over bn them. in the con vention and the East knows it. When the returns come in from that territory lying west of the Mississippi river next November, some of the fellows who planned six months ago what they would do in convention, may realize that a nomination is worth nothing un-

less the people approve it in the general election. i Talk of a third party is worrying the old guard bosses more than they let on but there is but little probability that any organization will be made at this lime that will prove serious. The battle will be fought out by the two old parties and the senate club will find that the ticket named at San Francisco will give them enough trouble before they put over the welllaid plan. Mr. Daugherty, campaign manager for Senator Harding, announced six i months ago, after a conference with a few senators, that Harding would be nominated at 2:11 Saturday at the convention. He missed it just an hour as the nomination occurred at 3:11. As the prediction was made in Washington, the difference in time, made the prediction exact, showing with what precision the committee worked. Can you imagine the people of this country standing for this kind of manipulation very long? ■MaMMßMaMMaaaaaa McAdoo, Cox, Marshall, Balmer, Meredith, Owens, Edwards and several .others are being urged for the democratic nomination for president and headquarters are now being opened iu San Francisco. J. Ham Lewis, Governor Stewart of Montana and others are campaigning for the vice presides rial nomination. The convention promises to be a very interesting event. It convenes June 28th, one week from next Monday and is the first event of its kind ever held on the Pacific coast. Not as a matter of politics, but as a right principle, every citizen should oppose the primary law unless someone can suggest some means by which the voice of the people when raised, be complied with. Certainly the Indiana primary this year was a great waste of money, time and pa- * per. The delegates voted as they pleased, giving no attention to the will ot the people. Webster, for whom the delegates were instructed, did not receive a single vote. The primary law is a fake and should be dispensed with entirely, not amended. We do not believe that the great majority of laboring men in this country will agree with the action of the federation at Montreal, favoring a six hour day. There should be no in clination to overdo the thing and thi would seem unreasonable to the average person. The eight-hour day gives plenty of time for recreation and sleep and we are old-fashioned enougi’to believe that too much idle time is not the best thing for any one. Few business places can be operated on a six-hour day and to fix such a rule for labor would certainly further shorten production and tend to increase cost ot living and prices of every commodity. The convention at Chicago was a time for the real voice of the rank and file to be expressed. Yet the elephant sat — like the famous Victor dog — waiting for his master's voict The masters were the senatorial poll ticians. Republican leaders, usually men of courage and convictions, sur rendered to prevent Johnson am: Borah from bolting, but gave littl thought to the millions of republican voters whose interests and wishe were so shamelessly disregarded The republican party still lives and ii its ranks are earnest men and wonier but as a party it has been bound am gagged, betrayed because the old guard was afraid of its shadow. —Indi anapolis News.
