Even though the wind blew over some of the corn the big rain of Sunday night was worth a million or two to Adams county, it makes the corn and tile beets and other crops. The coal situation in Indiana is now in complete control of Governor Goodrich. If the system provided doesn’t work any better than the tax law, most of the people of Indiana will be citizens of some other state or foreign clime long before spring. The Decatur Industrial association will meet next Monday evening to take up a number of important matters. There is much work to be done, the summer vacation is about | over and it’s time to warm up and , continue the business of making a' better Decatur. The law enacted by the recent In diana legislature increasing the; nites for legal advertising also provides that each citv and each school board must publish a financial report ■ within thirty days after the close of the calendar year. Officials should keep this in mind as it may prove a difficult job if put off too late. •■■ lllinMMMMMlll l>»Ml■■■ ■Ml)llin 111 WMMMMMMM* --•«* -j

No Profiteering In Oil THE Federal Trade Commission in its j report to Congress, emphasized the -j point that the recent advances in prices of crude and refined oils were a natural result of increased demand, coupled with the ( difficulty experienced by the oil companies in getting adequate supplies of crude. Other factors contributing were increased costs of drilling, producing and operating generally; also the influence of the unfavorable developments in Mexico in the last few months. The official statement of the commission is refreshing to those who are familiar with the conditions. Not only does rib profiteering exist at the present time, but facts demonstrate that there has been no disposition on the part of the oil industry to take advantage rtf any of the circumstances which might have justified price advances. » During the war, the entire petroleum in- j dustry united to hold down prices, even at the risk of actual loss. During recent transportation difficulties, while strikes actually created a shortage of gasoline in some parts of the country, nevertheless price advances did not take place. The value to the public of such a highly trained organization as that maintained by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is obvious. Anticipating and preparing for difficulties in refining and distribution of petroleum products, are some of the functions of this Company. * Standard Oil Company (Indiana) " 910 S.

The managers of the Northern In- f diana certainly did pick out the’rlghf H week. It you rciirember the dates originally announced for the fair were tour days this week but were t changed because of conflicting dates ’1 with other lairs and it looks like a I lucky change.

County Agent Fred Gray is plan nlng an Adams county exhibit of livi stock for the state fairs and the International show for next year ami it would be the greatest publicity any comity could have. This county has more pure bred stock than any in tin middle west and we ought to let tin world know it. That’s Gray's idea and it will work if he is given proper support. A man named Jackson Morris from Kentucky was sent to Winona last wek by the republican natlonn committee to debate the league o nations with Senator Hitchcock. 11. made n stronger speech for the cove mint than did his opponent and ha I,ebn snatched off the circuit.

The meetings! arc open to the public. | Jimmy Cox, democratic candidate ( er president together with the other i .upants of his cur and three other, utos in the party were arrested yes■rday afternoon as they moved slowly through Jacksonville, Ohio, the barge being speeding. The unusual part of the incident is the fact that it was announced twenty-four hours ' diead that this was to be done as an mbarressment to the candidate. He informed the bicycle cop that he ould be reached at the executive iffice at any time and drove on. Jimmy is too speedy for them as a ■amlidate and that's about all the ■ iolation of law or senatorial rules io has violated, according to mem bers of his party and other citizens nclined to be fair. USING DEMAND FOR HORSES AND MULES ON BIG MARKETS Chicago, August 16. —In spite of uli’.'liable business conditions during lie spring months, and the fact tl:..t lie building has been very largely at . . 'and.-till this season, demand for orsrs and mules has shown a substantial im rease over the ibs., six months if 19111.
