i i of Muncie is giving hint a real scrap. ( The new governor evidently is not 1 playing politics but ho may tfc doing . a big favor to the people. i The general opinion of tho citizens • <>f Adams county seems to favor the j proposed - Improvement of the Wabash river but not us proposed. The assessments seem most unfair for the ! farmers of Ohio who receive a great benefit, pay but a very small proportion of the cost, a fraction of their benefits while in a number of inHtai/ftis the assessments against Adjams county property is almost confiscation. Tlie fact also that the dredging would cost Adams county a fortune for bridges and other costs, will causa many to iqjtose the plan as it , stands novi? The selection of A. J. Smith of Decatur, Frank Heiman of Washington township. Ed M. Ray of Berne, and Mrs. (Tara B. Anderson of Geneva as Trustees of the pcoposed Adams county hospital was announced this morning and will meet the approval lof the people of the county we be--1 lieve. The commissioners devoted , much time to the selection of the board which will have charge of the building of the hospital and the in 1 auguration of the plans under which it will be operated. The members , are highly eslfcemed and capable citizens, well fitted for the places and coming as they do from various parts ’ of the county will represent their ‘ i constituents and make the hospital, , as desired, really a county institu 1 tion. The selection of Mrs. Anderson . to represent the women of the county, is a happy one and should please ’ i those who felt that the women ( should have that recognition. Each , member is qualified and will *gtve . their attention and splendid ability 1 to this important duty. _____________ i Andrew Smith, secretary of the J Indiana Banker’s association, has recommended to all banks of the 1 state, following the recent Culver ’ robbery, that every bank should in- i sist that short barreled riot guns. 1 shot guns designed to shoot a sweep- 1 < ing charge, be distributed in nearby ( stores, available to police and citi- ( zens in case of He believes < that present conditions over the < country warrant such preparation J just as much as preventive measures ( for fire.

AN EVEN CHANCE Is Given Carpentier by the Expert^—Regarded As A . Wonderful Man DEMPSEY STOCK DOWN Believed That Frenchman Will Put Up a. Great Battle Against Champ (By Henry L Farrell, United Press stalf correspondent) New York, Jan. 4. — When Frank Moran finished Joe Beckett in two rounds, fight fandom gave up a lot nice things it had been thinking about Georges He was regarded as a wonder man because he finished the English champion with one punch. Hut when Moran. who doesn't rank one to ten in American heavyweight circles, did the same thing in a round longer, the Experts figured the Frenchman' would be easy for Dempsey. *Then came the iWnipsey-Hrennan light and the champion's stock slumped. The fight folks think now that tho Denfpsey-Carpentier affair will be i "any man’s game.” Against Brennan, Dempsey showed three important things that the critics were dubious about. In his favdr i was the evidence that he could go tin-, der hard pressure for at least twelve I rounds and that he can take a hard j punch from a.hard hitter. The third, less favorable to him in doping him with Tarpentier, is the fact shown by | Brennan that he is very open and can . be reached by a fast man who will carry the fight to him. Against Fulton, Willard and Miske, his last fights Dempsey carried the fight and proved the truth of the German theory that a perfect offense needs no defense. Dempsey got that trio before they had a chance to get him. He evidently figured that Brennan would cover up and try to last as long as possible. Instead Brennan fooled him and dashed out of his corner on tb* offensive. Dempsey was baffled when Brennan insisted on carrying the figtft to him and he had to wait his chance. Carpentier has a punch and so has Dempsey, thus strengthening the opinion expressed before that the first one who gets his punch across will win tho light. Joe Beckett is now an admitted sec-1 ond rater, so Carpentier’s quick work I with him cannot be overestimated . However, the Frenchman may fight Moran and the result will be inferest-

Brennan sea better fighter th«n Moran, but only slightly. - K . Carpentier more than twelve row. finish Moran, Dempsey will look*' ter» ♦ However, it must be considered that Dempsey was not himself o«t»« Brennan. He was overtrained and BWlu and he was cold for six round*. He also showed the lack of wot ’. He .worked his way up to Willard by steady fighting and then grew rusty by having only two bouts in seven teen months. joe Welling" made Benny Leonard step*some to beat him and all lire light-weights, who were dodging the champion before, are now hot after him. The heavyweights probably will tig ure the same way about Dempsey and will be more willing to get in the ring with him. If he gets enough work between now and July 4 next, the tentative date for the next big defense of his title, (atpen tier will not face the Dempsey that Brennan did.

If Petroleum Were Wiped Out Today TVS—" “ A Cultural machinery could no l ong " bv w&e methods, and fined to horse power and wal ® r ’ roads could no longer run their and before any adjustment could be made our great urban population would literally be starved to death. The prosperity of all industrial nations is based upon petroleum. The peak from which floats the flog that symSoliJS the prosperity of the United States arises from a basic foundation of crude oil. The underlying foundation of thia prospe: ity is lubricating oil for without thia essential product of petroleum, the machinery of the world would stop and the world's reserve of iubncatrnj- oils, • though vast in volume, would last but a few * weeks at our present rate of consumption. • The next essential factor is ’ erosene line for without the first, one half of the population of the world would be without light at 3 night, and without the second, all types of internal combustion engines would be useless, and the automobile, tractor, truck, marine and avia, tion engine would be mere curiosity®. p If lubricating oil, kerosene, and gasoline were available, but the hundreds of by-products made from the residue of petroleum were wiped out, many industries would be closed and unemployment would be general, for in nearly industry one or more of these by-products are necessary in the manufacturing processes. o , Thus is visualized by an extreme presentation—purely imaginative —of what might happen if petroleum, or any of its major derivatives, were wiped out over night. Also it shows the tmportance of the work the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is doing in helping supply one of the basic, economic needs of the nation, r.nd emphasizes the importance of the service the Company renders in promoting the comfort, health, and happiness of the individual citizen. • Standard Oil Company 1° (Indiana) 910 S.
