Building for the Future IN its determination to continue rendering a maximum service to the 28 million people of 11 .states, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is mindful of the fact that these people will need gasoline and lubricating oils in continually increasing quantities as the years go by. i During the past two years the number of automobiles registered in this territory shows an increase of over 35%. 1919 1921 Hl. . . - 178.438 670,452 Ind.- - - 777,255 400,342 lowa - - 363,079 430,003 Kan. - - 227,752 291,309 Mich. - - 325,813 477,037 Minn. - - 259,743 328,700 Okla. - - 144,500 221,300 N.

The comprehensive distribution system maintained by this Company makes this possible, for the Company has brought into play every unit of its enormous manufacIturing and distributing organization, from the refinery to the bulk station, to the dark green tank wagon that patrols the highways and byways. As the need for increased facilities becomes apparent, the Board of Directors of this Company expands its activities, not merely to meet the immediate need but always to keep a step ahead. It is this anticipatory service which has made this Company a leader in its field. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.

The taxes in Adams county this ■ year are double those of 1918 and the state tax commissioners have the nerve to assert that they must be | still higher next year. There is no defense to such a position. It is high handed and simply means that they propose to make the expenditures so much greater that the people must dig

5 down and pay more for their govern 9 ment. You will never have reason able taxes under the present laws and there is no use to talk about it. The 1 state tax board has made a statement showing the difference in valuation and amount of cash collected in the years since 1918. Now it would be ( interesting to have a detailed state ment of what they did with the money Without a single good bye, without even a hint that they had completed the important work for which they were sent here, the auditors from the State Public Service Commission, re packed their suit cases and departed Queer methods are used by these ser vants of the public which lead many o believe that they will not stand foi publicity, best evidence that they re ilize the uselessness of their work They have departed and (he city is ahead several thousand dollars but wme other city or county will now have them and we will have to hel] >ay their expenses. No wonder the people are talking about discarding the commission or at least formula! ing some common sense plans for em ploying them usefully. The late Henry P. Davison, interna tional banker, who died under an oper ation a week ago, executed* his wil' but nine days before his death. Thai testament disposes of an estate valuer at about million dollars. Foi many months Mr. Davison had been in ill health from causes that at length brought about his death. Hr had already undergone an operation for relief and if his medical advisers were frank with him must have beer aware that his life had at least but most uncertain tenure. Yet, not unti’ almost within the shadow of that “dark hour" which comes to all did he compose himself to settle his affairs Mr. Davison was a banker. Bankers almost as well as lawyers know and appreciate the importance of having material affairs in order, that whet death comes there will in that respect be readiness, and bankers as well as lawyers are generally constant in their urgencies that this be done. Mr Davison did contrive to perform that duty in time, but the sequel shows that he but narrowly escaped failure tc do so.—Fort Wayne Press.

bakers from number OF CITIES MET HERE MONDAY EVENING A district meetlßß of the proprietors and mauagere of bake shops in Hartford City, Portland. Fort Wayne, Bluffton. Van Wert, Berne, Geneva, Ossian and Decatur was held last evening in the Industrial rooms. About twenty men were present. Mr, Haffner, of Fort Wayne, presided as chairman and for several hours the bakers talked “shop" and discussed business problems and the baking trade in general. The meeting was held at the invitation of the Fort Wayne bakers and Decatur was selected as the central meeting place, therefore the holding of the meeting in this city. The bakers, like every- ■ one else are having their problems and difficulties and the meeting last night was held with the purpose of getting an idea of the other man's 1 problems and how he was dealing with the situation. ; Another meeting will be held in the near future at which time an organization of the bakers in the above towns and cities may he formed. o —— -WOODRING IS FASTEST MAN IN THE WORLD New York, May 16. —While sprint records and field marks have been consistently shattered in the past two years, .the quarter-mile record of 47 1-5 seconds made by ttje great 'ft'd Meredith in 1916 is one of the few that have remained beyond the reach of the present day super-stars. How long Meredith will remain as he fastest man of all times at 440 vards seems to be up to the willingness ot Allen Woodring, of Syracuse University, the Olympic 200 meter hampion, to go out for it. Not excepting Charley Paddock, the Pacific Coast flyer. Woodring has been regarded as the fastest man in he world today at 220 yards, but owng to his rather slight build he had wt been considered a record-making oossibility at a quarter-mile until the Penn, relay games recently. Running as anchor man for Syra?use in the one-mile college relay ihampionship, Woodring got away seven yards behind Bill Stevens, Princeton captain and the national luarter-mile champion. Woodring •an him off his feet and won the race ifter doing a quarter in the unofficial ime of 47 4-5, equalling the world's 'ecord. Considering the fact that the timers all caught him the same and that he event was run late in the afternoon, when the track was chopped to nieces by two days of ihcessant -rounding and cutting, the performance was phenomonal. If he maintain the form he had in ’hat race, there is little doubt that Woodring will be able to make a new ■ecord for the quarter on the Harvard 'rack in June, if he goes out for that went in the intercollegiate championships. 3ASEBALL ENTHUSIASTS LAY OUT BALL FIELD AT BERNE Berne will again have a baseball leld this summer. Arrangements have now been made whereby a ball diamond will be laid out on the jots held by the school board in the Nussbaum addition, west of town. A 1 'rowd of baseball enthusiasts have rlready scraped half the infield and are busy at work getting the grounds into shape for playing. The field will be under the control jf the school board, who will allow no Sunday playing and who will at all times keep the management of the same in their hands. . The boys at the Dunbar Furniture Co. are preparing to put out a strong team this summer and will have over seventy men from which to pick their team. The boys intend to get new uniforms. Efforts are also being made to organize other independent teams and to have a city league if it is possible. The games will be played in the evenings and on Saturday f I afternoons. CHILDREN IN SPRINGTIME Mrs. C. Osborn, 7812 Hillside Rd., ' Cleveland, 0., writes: "My grand- . daughter was trouble with a cough for nearly two years. She took Boley's Honey and Tar and her cough is now 1 gone. It loosened the phlegm sa she , could raise it easily.” Foley’s Honey and Tar is just what children should have for feverish colds, coughs, ’snufffles” and tight, wheezy breathing. Be sure to get Foley’s. It checks croup , and whooping cough, too. Sold every--3 where.

HE- FLAPPERS ARE LONDON'S LATEST I I — By Wiliam M. Sweat ' (United Press Staff Correspondent) 1 London, May 13. —London has discovered the he-flapper. A trousered : but no otherwise overmasculine prototpye of the American flapper has • sprung up in large numbers. 1 Cartoons and conversations dwell 1 upon the latest link. 1 Male vamps of tender years are ’ making miresable the lives ot film producers. Each thinks his plastered locks destined to glisten on the celluloid screen. And aren't these youths, . persistent, though? Simply won't take .- no for an answer. These he-shifters are not to be confused with the Nut. The Nut is an ’ old established British tradition, like Nelson's telescope or tossing the pancake at Westminster College. He is the yNung man who sets the fashion and follows it assiduously. He is the one excuse for the superstition that Englishmen are well-dressed. The he-flapper is of a different category. He is stage-struck and makes lounge lizards seem hard working business men by comparison. The he-flapper runs to: Samjats. Long, sometimes jewelled, cigarette holders. Sport shirts with string ties. Purple velour hats. Absinthe and vermouth at Regentstreet cases. Wide colored scarfes about the waist instead of “braces” or a belt. The pest is most prevalent In London's West End. but out in the suburbs the police unearthed a sort of training school for he-flappers. Headquarters of a band of boys sworn to secrecy. and pledged to perform one "exotic” deed a day was raided and some sound spanking administered.

DID HIM MORE GOOD Many men and women suffer from backache, rheumatic pains, stiff points sore muscles and other results of kidney trouble because they neglected the first warning symptoms. Foley Kidney Pills aid the kidneys to throw out poisonsous waste matter that causes pain and misery. Stephen Lewis, Eldridge. Ky., writes: ‘Foley Kidney Pills did me more good than all the other medicine I ever took. I had kidney trouble ten years. I don’t have any pain like I had before I took them." Sold everywhere.
