The Farm HandGasoline Power THE average ownership of automobiles for 1919 was one car to every 14 persons in the United States. But in making this average, the states outside the Middle West (including the states of the east, with their congested city traffic) showed but one car for every 19 persons. The states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) such as Kansas, showing one automobile for every 8.9 persons; lowa with a car for every 7.8 persons, or South Dakota, with a machine for every 8.3 persons —raised the national average. The people of the Middle West —preeminently the farming section of the nation —own about one-half the motor cars of the country. The major portion—almost 65$ of these Middle Western cars are farmer-owned. Investigation has further proved that over 75$ of the Middle Western farmers bought their cars, not for pleasure, but for business. Gasoline-power is the new hired hand on the farm. To maintain the continuous operation of this power is one of the leading, services rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). To increase the nation’s food-supply, the farmer must depend upon his gasoline supply. Someone must continually anticipate production difficulties, overcome transportation delays, so that his tractor and his truck and his car may operate whenever the plowing, cultivating, seeding, harvesting, housing or marketing of his crops must be done. It was to insure dependability in supply of petrc eum products to the consumer as well as to lower their prices, that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) built up its “cycle of service”, I carrying its products from the refinery direct to the consumer. All savings effected through this efficiency in organization are passed on by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to the consumers of its products. Standard Oil Company . (.Indiana) 910 So.

/ ~ Better Make It 799, Fred. Dally Democrat, Decatur, Indiana, 1 have read in two or three papers that some one from Adams county has made the statement that "there is a compact organization of 800 German democrats in Adams county pledged to vote for Harding.” I have always been a democrat and expect I am one of the supposed 800 as I have been receiving the Berne Witness a couple of weeks free and mail from the committees, but 1 want to say that "Boss” Fred Robrer or no ohter man has any pledge from me and 1 am not going to vote for Harding. He wobbles too much for me every time lie gets off his front porch. No one knows where Jie stands on any thing. Rohrer will be fooled when he gets the returns election night. If he could do it he would move the court house to Berne so he could "boss” it easier. While I have not approved everything the Wilson administration has done I have not favored most of the things done by the Goodrich state administration either, so I have decided to vote my party ticket this year, for it stands for the people and their rights. I believe the most of the 8(10 will do the same thing. If Fred Rohrer had these pledges he ought to have had sense enough to keep his mouth shut. You can print this if you want to. Please correct spelling. Yours truly, ONE OF THEM. ilussia and Poland and it’s easy t< inswer. Russia is an outlaw natioi ind not a member of the league Sven at that it is likely that tie ague can and will bring about t lettleinent. When once all the na ions of the world have disarmed onfiicts will cease and for all time. Bon. Samuel M. Foster, of Fori Vayne, democratic ’candidate foi

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1,1929.

■X 1 lieutenant governor, fluent and delightful speaker, will address the voters of this county in this city Thursday night and In Berne Friday night. His understanding of the new tax law and his views on the many great political issues of the campaign should be heard by the men uud women voters of this county. If you will go to the trouble of multiplying your assessed valuation in Decatur by $3.28 you will discover that your taxes are alarmingly higher for next year than this. Yet they told you that under the new law this would be utterly impossible. In some cases we know of it is from two to five times higher. And it works also in every township and own in the county, no difference what the rate. Congressman Vestal declared that ihe league covenant taken to Paris by President Wilson was never even read by the council. Can you imagine Mr. Wilson not being heard in that council of a few men and not presentng the league as it was agreed to by meh men as Taft and Root and >ther great Americans? We believe t would be a safe bet that he did ead it and he has been credited wer the world with having had more to do with its building than any ’ther man. The extraordinary efforts made by Mr. Vestal and other republican speakers to give the idea that Presilent Wilson favors England and that he league is a Brittain covenant vould indicate that they are trying '□ divide sentiment in this country •nd establish racial preferences "hich is the wrong spirit in this ation where we ’ should all be Americans. Mr. Wilson is your best riend and will be so proven in future listory, no difference from what ,-ountry came your ancestors. Those who try to turn the new tax aw aside as a joke will \ find out vhen they go to pay their taxes next ;pring that it is a serious proposition. Do you realize that dozens of people in this county will pay four or five limes as much next year as they did 'ast and that hundreds will pay louble. The increases will hit rich ind poor alike and the power of the board at Indianapolis to extract from I his county thousands of dollars is i being rapidly proven a dangerous j /uthority that will have to be taken iway if you want to retain your | property. Governor Cox stands four squarel 'or the laboring man and the farmer is well as for the business man. | Senator Harding believes "dollar' wheat is enough for any farmer” and! that a dollar or a dollar and a half a day for the laboring man, makes bet ' ter times. If you vote for Harding' you should understand that you are' voting for a man who has publicly declared himself on these questions in the senate and so far has not wobbled on these items. He seems determined about it and when we know that he was nominated by the big interests who feel the same way. l his attitude is the better understood.' Congressman Vestal in his speech Saturday evening in the court room I stated that he believed that if Amer i ica was a member of the league of rations he “was almost confident that' at least 150,000 American soldier, would now be fighting in Poland." As a member of congress Vesta: should know that only congress car, 1 send troops out of the country. Sucl. assertions go over the head of an intelligent person. They know that the league of nations is a contract be tween nations to stop the killing of man in war. You might ask the congressman how many troops Canada, England, France, Italy and the other civilized nations, members of the league, have in Poland? The answer is NONE. Ex-senator Murray, Crape, of Massachusetts, who died Saturday, nuulo a fight for the league! of nations in the Chicago ' convention I and such men as Taft, Root and I Hughes also are in favor of it, but some of these “hard-shelled" partisans would like to make the people! believe that the “moon was made of green cheese.”

"ARMED HAS MADE A 33 POUND GAIN Desmond Had to Live on i Soft Foods Before He Got Tanlac—Eats Anything Now i “Tanlac not only relieved me of a i bad case of stomach trouble, but 1| have gained 33 pounds besides since , taking it," sa’d Henry Desmond, a | prosperous farmer living at ISLo Utegon street, Evansville, Indiana. "I suffered so with my stomach and , kidneys that 1 had to quit work, and , was forced to live on some foods alto gather and even that would fail to digest. Gas would bloat me up as tight as a drum and I always had a hard | lumpy feeling in the pit of my stoni ach. The pressure around my heart caused me such intense pain that felt the next breath would be my last I got vfry little sleep for every bone in my body seemed to ache and I my back especially felt like it would . break. I lost weight and got so weak it was all I could do to get ground I was not able to do the little jobs about the house, let alone any farm | work, not having strength enough to I harness a horse. “I tried everything, but nothing did me any good. One day a friend told , me that Tanlac had relieved his trou hie, so I got a bottle, and before I had I finished taking it I could sleep and be-I gan to pick up in weight. Now I can Seat anything and I wouldn't know 1lever had a stomach, so far as it troub . 'ling me is concerned. My appetite Is! a caution and 1 have actually' gained i 33 pounds. My kidneys have quit both-1 ering me and at night 1 am off to sleep 1 as soon as I get in bed.” | Tanlac is sold in Decatur at Smith. | Yager & Falk’s; in Berne at Stengei. ft Craig’s and in Geneva at F. C. Deitsch’s. KIRKLAND HIGH SCHOOL NOTES — Kirkland played its first game oi basket ball Friday and as it was the I first experience, naturally thought! that they would lose the game but | found to their surprise that they easily I outclassed the fast Monmouth team. I Score, 10 to 2. It was arranged that the baseball game would be a fiveinning game so that Kirkland could play a basket ball game with Craigville high school. Kirkland easily won I this game 31 to 6. Damage to grain from the chinch I bug in 1887 amounted to $60,000,000. ’
