Entered at the postofllce at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter A lot of fellows who used to try to “get rich quick” are now doing their best to “get poor slowly,” and it's harder to do the latter than it was the former. A good many people feel about the same as Mr. Dawes does about congress but they haven’t the opportunity or the vocabulary with which to express it. Wasn't this a fine spring morning for Valentine day? No wonder the thoughts of the young man turns to love. He could almost imagine 'it was June. Adams county is the best place on earth and its citizens aro of that kind who do things. Just put it down that when such a community as this feels hard times, a lot of tho others are really suffering. - Adams county is to be districted With Wells for representative, according to the a new apportionment bill now in the legislature. We should no doubt be thankful that they haven’t fastened us to Allen and thus put us out of the way for good. ; The democratic city committee

How the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) Fulfills Its Social Obligations THERE are people in the world—though we believe that they are greatly in the minority—who still consider that smallness is a merit, that greatness is a shame, that mediocrity is commendable, and that commercial success is a crime. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana; believes that without great commercial enterprises a nation is a dead nation ; that great commercial enterprises must be efficient in service to be successful, and that this efficiency means more to the nation than the success means to the organizers of the enterprise. The Standard Oil Company believes that a great commercial enterprise, to be successful under ex- • isting conditions, must contribute to: (1) Greater efficiency in the production of wealth; (2) Greater justice in the distribution of wealth; (3) Greater wisdom in the consumption of wealth. (1) Greater efficiency in production: Among other notable improvements in the refining of petroleum, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has contributed the Burton process. This process ► greatly increases the percentage of gasoline derivable from crude oil. (2) Greater justice in the distribution of wealth: The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) cites the organization of its Company, its liberal policy ( toward employes—including its annuity system benefitting retired workers; its fairness to competitors—in maintaining open prices and never | deviating from them; to customers—by bnnging necessary petroleum products to them with the utmost economy. (3) Greater wisdom in consumption of wealth: The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) not only recognizes its obligation to conserve petroleum and petroleum products to the end that no waste occur, but it. maintains a staff of experts, ever at the service of its patrons, to instruct them hi the efficient and economical use of the products manufactured by the Company. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is committed to a policy of creative leadership, and because of its loyalty to the ideals outlined above, it is today of signal service to hundreds of thousands of people in ten very important Middle Western States.

It he Serves out the line and sentence it will take 5; 1,124 years, after which he will prob--5 , ably not be active enough to even 1 light a match. It certainly ought to , be a good lesson for Rufus. Os course times arc not the best, in fact in many instances it couldn't be much worse, but what’s the use to I I cry about it? The only thing we can ' | I do is to dig in and do the best we can. Those who do this will come out alright one of these days while the other fellow will lose put entirely. Keep smiling and working.’ According to the plan for re-ap-pointment of congressional districts in this state, the first and third are considered normally- democratic, the second, fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, eleventh and twelfth are republican, while the fifth and tenth are doubtful. Adams county is in the seventh along with Jay, Randolph, Delaware, Madison, Hancock and three townships from Marion. This plan will probably be adopted. The present session of the legislature will appropriate nearly ten million dollars to pay for all the, new ideas proposed and for this they will i increase the salaries of the members Ito $2,000. That the six dollars per day is too little for a man to even live decently in Indianapolis is not 'disputed but $2,000 for sixty days attendance, half of which is devotqd to ' enjoying life, making a net cost of about SIOO per day for actual time ! spent, certainly looks like putting it

The bottom is out of the roads, not a surprising fact because of the exceptionally open winter, but a fact that has to be met. Unless great care is used by every one the damage ' will be very great and repair of the roads under the limited funds for that purpose will be Impossible. You should cooperate with the officials in seeing that heavy hauling is not permitted and that every possible effort is made to prevent them from getting worse. The roads in this county are the worst they have been since macadam roads were.first built. Held Tax Sale (Continued from page one) er might be able to get a clear title, which heretofore he had not had. Daniel Steed purchased the Aaron Britton lot in Geneva, the delinquent tax being $2.30 and the current tax $2.70. Mrs. Jessie Burdg of this citybid in the William and Mary J. Fifer property in Geneva, the delinquent tax being $7.49 and the current tax $8.76. All of the delinquents have a year to redeemp tho properties, and if at the end of the year they do not appear, the treasurer will deed the pro perties sold today to the parties bid" ding them in. Several of the properties advertised in the newspapers had already been reclaimed by the owners calling at the treasurer’s office and paying the taxes and costs, and of course they are not placed on sale this morn; ing by Treasurer Hite. The number of properties sold this morning was less than usual and considerably less than those offered by treasurers in surrounding counties, the population of the county being considered.

M. Hensley family is today mourning the loss of their pet dog, "Scraps,” the dog having been killed Sunday afternoon, when he ran out in the street barking at a passing auto. “Scraps" has the habit that most canines do, and Sunday afternoon on North Third street, he ran out in the street at breakneck speed, barking at an automobile., He was going so fast he conld not stop, and of course ran in front of the wheels. It was "good-night” for “Scraps” and as he was a household pet, members of the family are somewhat grieved today. The* English quart contains more than two cubic inches more than the United States quart.

♦ FOURTEEN POINTS + + ABOUT CANCER + ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ 1. During the great war the United States lost about 80,000 soldiers. During the same two years 180.000 people died of cancer in this country. Cancer is now killing one out of every ten persons over forty years of age. 2. Many of these deaths are preventable, since cancer is frequently curable, if recognized and properly treated in its early stages. 3. Cancer begins as a small local growth which can often be entirely removed by competent surgical treatment, or, In certain external forms, by using radium, X-Ray or other methods. 4. Cancer is not a constitutional or “blood" disease; thenKphould be nothought of disgrace or of "hereditary ; taint” about It. • 5. Cancer is not a communicable : disease. It is not possible to "catch” cancer from one who has it. 6. Cancer is not inherited. It is not I certain even that a tendency to the ’ disease is inherited. Cancer is so fre- i qiient that simply by the law of chance < there may be many cases in some fam- i ilies, and this gives rise to much ]

needless worry about inliei'Hins disease. 7. The beginning of cancer is usually painless: for this reason its Insidious onset Is frequently overlooked, and is too easily neglected. Other danger signals must be recognized and competent medical advice obtained at once. 8. Every persisting lump In the breast is a warning sign. AU such lumps are by no means cancer, but even innocent tumors of tho breast may turn into cancer If neglected. 9. In women continued unusual discharge or bleeding requires the immediate advice of a competent doctor. Tho normal change of life is not accompanied by increasing flowing which is always suspicious. The return of flowing after it has once stopped should also he considered suspic- i ious. Do not expect the doctor to tell you what the matter is without mak- i ing a careful physical examination, i 10. Any sore that does not heal, i particularly about the mouth, lips or I tongue, is a danger signal. Picking i and irritating such sores, cracks, ul- i cerations, etc., or treatflig these sk:n conditions by home remedies, pastes. | poultices, causics, etc., is playing with

flra . warty growths, moles, or other birthmark., especially those subject to constant irritation, should be attended to immediately If they change tn color or appearance, or start to grow. Avoidance of chronic irritation and removal of just seemingly insignificant danger spots may prevent can Persistent indigestion in middle life, with loss of weight and change of color, or with pain, vomiting, or diarrhoea, call for thorough and competent medical advice as to Ue possibility of internal cancer. 12. Radium is a useful and promising means of treatment for some kinds of cancer, in the hands of the few skillful surgeons and hospitals possessing sufficient quantity of this rare and very expensive substance; it must not be thought of as a cure-all for every form of cancer. No medicine will cure cancer. Doctors an i ■ inst jutes which advertise "cures without the knife” play upon the patient's ( fear of operation in away that leads | too often to the loss of precious time, and fatal delay in seeking competent treatment. Go first to your family physician. 13. Open warfare by open discussion
