THIS COUNTRY —AND OTHERS: — There is entirely too much talk going the rounds about a financial or industrial depression “that is bound to come,” as it is expressed. No panic or depression is bound to come unless people talk and think themselves into it. The tightening of the money market, the slowing down upon the part of the banks in making loans, does not mean panic or de-: pression, and should not be so understood. There has been too much specula . tion in this country. People have been spending too riotously, perhaps, and going into debt to too great an extent. Currency and credit inflation : made money easily obtainable, and there was a tendency upon the part i of people generally to overreach themselves. The banks have found , it necessary to curtail their loans — I in a sense to deflate. That is all that is the matter with the country at this time. Just look at the United States in contrast with any other nation on earth if you would get some idea of why a panic is unnecessary here. W’e were injured by war to a smaller degree than other countries. We in-

Holding Gasoline Prices Down ■mi ■nt.-gaMßsaaai rz»Mmmi “The Federal Trade Commission in report to Congress ascribes strong demand as primary cause of recent advances in price of gasoline and other petroleum products, rather than to any combination in restraint of trade.” (Boston News Bureau, June 3rd, 1920.) Gasoline prices will go down as soon as gasoline supply exceeds demand. Only two ways are known to increase gasoline supply. First, increase the production of crude petroleum; second, to increase the yield of gasoline from the crude petroleum obtainable. Recognizing the latter as the more practical method, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has discovered, through extensive research, away to definitely increase the yield of gasoline from crude oil. In its laboratories, modern to the last detail of equipment, chemists, engineers and experienced refiners are working continually to this end. It was one of these men who discovered the process which has largely increased the yield of gasoline obtainable from the crude. This, and other discoveries, together with the economies of efficiency throughout j all processes of refining, have enabled the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to exert a marked downward pressure on gasoline prices. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) strives at all times to deal in fairness to all the people within its territory, and today is operating its business on as small a margin of profit as is consistent with sound financing, and with safety for its 4799 stockholders, of whom no single investor owns as much as 10 per cent of ! the total stock. ■ ' Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.

curred -much indebtedness, and our ’ taxes increased, but look at what other nations have had to do. We have an abundant harvest —one of the greatest crops ever grown is Imping taken care of. Hundreds of millions of bushels of grain to sell to other peoples, and hundred of millions of tons of raw material for any body who wants to buy them. Our factories are going; they have not lain idle to rust as has been the case I with others. W’e have had no famine no pestilence, no scourge of any kind. Employment has been steady at high , ! wages. Farm produce has command od splendid prices. Everything that I goes to make prosperity has been our ; portion, and is still our portion. Our people are the best dressed and the • best fed and the cleanest on earth Our mines and forests' are by no means exhausted. There is a demand for everything we have or can make, at profitable prices. There is money enough in circulation to furnish an adequate means of exchange. We are not at war with anybody, except officially; we are not expecting to go to war. How. then, can we have a panic unless we stop working and

I sit down and invite it to overwhelm' us?—Columbus Dispatch. Judge Moran has very wisely appointed Judge James T. Merryman and Nathan Shepherd as the board of review to straighten out the tux tangk caused by the changes In the law and the ruling of the supreme court. These men aside from being well qualified have the advantage of having fillet! the same places in 1919 when the valuations were fixed and they will do the job in the very best manner. The muddle is a serious one and it should be the desire of every official and citizen to aid anti assist in doing the best thing possible under the conditions that w’e do not suffer more than necessary as a result. Encourage the manufacturies in our midst and remember that the men who conduct these plants have their troubles, serious ones, the same as you do. The thing that makes a community better is not alone to secure industries but to help them after they are here. We should do for them all we can without of course injuring the community or the citi xens and we should be glad to do it -or it means a continued growth and betterment. In other words let's all vork together, using good judgment tnd careful words at*d we can make this the best city in all the land. That ought to be a worthy work for my one and a delightful success. Hundreds from this part of Indima are going to Dayton Saturday to ittend the notification meeting of Governor Cox, first political event of the democratic party and the greatest ever held in the middle west. A ■lumber from this county will join the crowd, leaving here Saturday morning over the G. R. & I. and returning that night. It will be an occasion long remembered, will give you an idea of the enthusiasm of the democrats and will be worth your time and effort. Better join them. Decatur will be decorated in elaborate style for the big fair and old home week and the work is on now. The easiest and best way to do it is to contract with the men who have the material and know how but if you don’t do this see that your place of business and your home is trimmed up fit for the occasion. It will help. Indiana will elect a democratic state administration this year. You hear it on every hand each day and the tide cannot be stopped. The cause is apparent if you consider the tax and road laws, the finances of state institutions and the conditions in general. The people know and they will vote accordingly. CLOSE IN AFTERNOONS The four Decatur clothing stores have decided to close their stores from one to five o'clock during the fair and old home week. They will open at five o’clock, thus giving the shopper and buyers an opportunity to get their packages and buy what they need. This schedule will remain in effect on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Patrons please take notice.
