A dozen have agreed to do so and that number of volunteers should be doubled within a week. Register Saturday, September 4th and vote in November. It is a duty you owe yourself and your country. Those who help to select the officials are the citizens who care' about the laws passed. Governor Cox spoke to two hundred thousand people at New York Saturday, breaking all records and it was so enthusiastic that predictions of a sweeping victo/y in November are now Ijeing made. Mr. Harding is in favor of reestablishing the Hague Tribunal, an international court which has been in ex istence for years, was in session when the world war broke out and means nothing, except expense and trouble His ideas are weak and will not work.

Getting More Gasoline < DEMAND FOR OIL GROWING FASTER THAN PRODUCED Wftwhinfton, D. C.. June t9.—[Special.]—Production of gasoline increased 1,852,890 gallons ! daily, or per cent during the first four months of 1820, according to a statement issued ■ today by the bureau of mines. An against this increase in production, however, the domestic consumption of gasoline increased 8,148,920 gallons daily, nr 88 per cent. —(From an article Chicago Tribune, June 80,19t0.) 'I'HIS epitomizes the situation accurately. It also indicates how great is the task of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). But fuel for automotive power must be supplied. Especially is this true in the territory served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), because in this area — the bread-basket of the nation —so large a percentage of the gasoline is consumed in producing food. Take away—even cripple — the automotive power on the Middle West farms and food prices will soar because of decreased production. The power-driven tractor is the only means by which the farmer can cope successfully with the shortage of man-power. By extensive research and intensive application the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has increased the yield of gasoline from crude to the greatest degree yet known. But it is not satisfied. The Company is striving to further increase the yield so that the use of the tractor? truck, the automobile, and the stationary gas engine may be used freely and without restriction. It is apparent that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) by increasing the yield has exerted, also, a downward influence on the price of gasoline. ( Standard Oil Comnanv {lndiana) ~ ' 910 So.

' his car»>er in the senate, voted wet I thirty times and spoke against war I I time prohibition, u tine record to i boast about. We presume that is the tecord upon which the “Hardiug and the home” slogan was framed. I 8 JiJJW And now we shall see whether the American people are for sale, whether a huge campaign fund which permits unlimited publicity, policy bets and other forms of advertising is suf- I flcient to put over candidates, admittedly weak on a platform that means nothing but control. The American people have never been so prosperous or had so much pleasure out of life and we should think they would hesitate before they vote to permit the government to slip back into the hands of those who i are able to expend millions of dollars to secure control. They are not do-1 lug it for the fun of the thing but for • business reasons. Ninety per cent ot, the people should not permit ten per ; cent to control them. What does “Home, sweet home' mean to you? It ought, to mean that , you will boost and help your homCj ; town and your home county. The' . way to help Decatur at this time is, to build a house. We need a hun-, dred, not of the fancy kind but just' good, convenient homes that will rent . at a price that can be paid by the; I average worker. It can be done and, we should get busy and do it. It is said that the “slushmen” for' the republican party who have visit-i ed Decatur recently unblushiugly an- j ■ uounce that the quota for Adams: county is $5,000, a rather snug sum to be raised here even in these days ) of prosperity and if true the Cox indictment that fifteen million is to be | raised in the United States is far too ) easy. The republicans of Adams ' < ounty who have been “touched" j very probably believe, the charges j made concerning the fund. . i ____________

Tribunal but the people may want to know just what frills are attached to ; it and how it will effect this country, j increased taxes may be necessary > but not to provide jobs for a lot of highwaymen who sit in easy chairs i and permit the roads of the state to ) go to pieces. . It five thousand dollars is used by I 'he republicans of Adams county it I ought to be easy for every voter to ! get a job. Wonder what has become lof the corrupt practice law which ! they used to talk so much about? Senator Harding may be a great, I politician and statesman but his ' speeches do not show it and his reci ord does not prove it by any means. | I Those who support him assume a , grave responsibility. ■ If we can add a hundred new houses to Decatur during the next i six months we can increase the popu-! lation five hundred or more. That j means a lot tor the community. If • you can build a house, do it. Taxes in Indiana next year will be he largest ever known and by long )dds. And this after promises that the taxes heretofore charged were exorbitant and would be reduced. The money and would be reduced highway commission and other fancy boards at Indianapolis. How long io you propose to permit this? We have an idea there will be a change in the state administration after next January for the people know what has been done and just how.
