Every Standard Oil Product a Primary Product THE term by-product is susceptible of misinterpretation. In the manufacturing activities of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) there are no by-products. The making of every product is a separate activity. Each is made to conform to a predetermined standard, and is judged strictly on its merits as a primary product. Lubricating oils made by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) conform to a standard fixed by lubricating engineers to meet the needs of various types of machinery. The standard being fixed, it is necessary to obtain crude oil of the particular type best adapted to yield the lubricating jumts which will conform to this standaid. There are many kinds of crude petroleum, each differing one from the other. Even between the oils delivered by different wells in the same field a considerable variance has been noted. One kind of crude oil will yield a maximum of lubricating oil of fine quality; another may yield little, or none, of these fractions, but will yield a maximum of gasoline. In selecting crudes for lubricants, for instance, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been careful to choose those which have the physical characteristics necessary to maintain the correct lubricating body under working conditions. These crudes are then carefully processed and refined to produce the long line of lubricants manufactured and sold by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Their manufacture is a business in itself. From the choice of materials which go into them, down to the last operation of refining, they are of primary consideration. This care in the selection of raw materials; every step of the refining process, and the fact that products manufactured by this Company are of superior quality is recognized generally. This is evidenced by the fact that during 1921 nearly 25 million gallons of Polarine, the Perfect Motor Oil, were needed to supply the demand. So with every product refined by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Each is made to perform a certain service, and each goes to the consumer with the unqualified guarantee of this Company that it is exactly as represented and that it will give a maximum of service, at a price which is fair to all.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, MAY 23, 1922

— - - i The People’s Voice Editor Democrat, Dear Sir:— We are often asked the why fore of the necessity of so many state boards, experts, (so-called), commissions, etc. They hove appeared some times as more of a superfluity than any thing else In fact somewhat of a parasite attaching its suckers upon local self action. Now wo must confess a change of heart, confess our previous Ignorance. They are an essential cog in the complicated wheel of onr complex state government. What more simple explanation. Here is their eligibility to permanence. Ilow else could we have the tax levies regular ly raised upon a falling living cost? Doesn't it take expert commissions to figure out now that onr living is less that the people might have more money that they might wish to invest in tax duplicates? And they are surely functioning. Also surely headed for the hall of fame, say about November. 1 believe the democrats could take a lesson from the last republican platform. That was lengthy and full of promises contradictory of each other. In the convention soon to he hold in Indianapolis the democratic delegates will have a chance to perfect a platform, make it concise and sincere, not witli a promise to each faction of people but with a message to the entire Indiana people. It is better to ride one horse and ride it well than to ride several badly. For there should be something back of party. Something greater than party, even as there is something greater than each religious denomination back of each of them, that should be preferred and held up. Herein the republicans have erred and erred grievously. They have permitted (nationally speaking) partizan ship to be placed above justice and spits above right and America has suffered. The entire world wounded at heart has waited to be soothed but it has waited in vain. Yours respectfully, JOHN SMITH. Farmer. e — WOMAN TO GO ON TRIAL FOR CEATH OF TWO RELATIVES \ Shelbyville, Ind., May 22—Clara Hibson Carl, whose two husbands and father-in-law died with arsenic in their intestines, was to face the judge here today n another alleged “feminine bluebeard" case. State attorneys will endeavor to prove: 1. That she poinsoned Alonzo Carl, the father of Frank, her second husband, in order that a share of His insurance and eslate would revert to Frank. . That she then poinsoned Frank to procure his property and insurance, planning both murders methodically to receive the full financial benefit from them. 3. That she fed arsenic to the old man first rather than to her husband, because to have reversed the order in which they died would have caused her to lose nearly two thirds of the property both men possessed in its distribution among other heirs. No Charge has been filed in connection with tlie death of her other hus-band,-Robert Gibson, but acquittal of the charge she now faces is expected to result in action being taken. Simtliarity of the deaths of the three men aroused suspicion and their bodies were exhumed. Each was said to have died from kidney trouble and to have suffered extreme pains, In their intestines. Down in Hiawatha, Kas., grave dig gers brought up the bodies of Frank Carl and his father. Their stomachs were streaked with arsenic, chemists reported. Tlie widow was arrested and a grand jury indictment was returned in Hancock county. Subsequently Gibson’s body was exhumed at Nelsonville, Ohio, and in it too arsenic was found. No additional charge was preferred against the accused woman at the time, in view of the indictment she faced. Mrs. Carl is 45. She anil Robert, Gibson used to romp and play in Nelsonville. In their youth they were sweethearts. Later they were married and they went out into Kansas. There Gibson died and his remains were shipped back home for burial in tiie family cemetery lot. Then Frank Carl went a-courtlng. They wero married and the elder Carl died. Soon after Frank died on ills farm near Greenfield, Ind., The bodies were taken to Kansas for burial. They both had complained of pains in their hacks. Mrs. Carl wrote letters to friends telling them of the circumstances of Frank’s death. Something in one letter received in Greenfield resulted in her arrest. The state relies upon this letter and the mystery statement as one of Its trump cards.

A. U. and tlie Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Tli is attitude, expressed by one of the high officials of the intercollegiate association, as being the sentiment of both organizations, means that the expected war between tlie present gov erning bodies and tlie new National Amateur Federation will not come about. This official, who refuses to be qnot ed, returned recently from England where he said he was asked to bring a warning to the United States not to allow the war department to get control of athletics. In England they regard government control of play as a movement toward Prusslanlsm and after considerable agitation the British sportsmen decided to leave control in civilian hands. The British, like tlie Americans, found (luring the war that the physical condition of the young men of the nation was not up to expectations according to the story brought from the other side. The war department looking to the possibility of future conflicts, sought some method of laying its hands in an emergency on the best, pliysi u.l specimens in the nation without going through the long process of selection by examination. With this idea it was planned to institute government control of sports. One plan was to divide the nation into district under the command of an army athletics director who would keep minute records on the performance of all the athletes in his district. All athletes would be numbered and their records would be kept on file so that when a certain quota was cailed from each district, tlie officer in charge could turn to His files and draw out the best physical specimens on tlie list. Under this plan, instead of being Jones of Blank University or club, the athlete would be numbered 265,468 of district 210 and when his number was posted lie would have to report, it conscription methods of recruiting were in force. Leading college athletes of the nation so strongly objected to this autocratic plan that they threatened to give up athletics. Tlie opposition became stronger when it was learned that the government was planning athletic meets under a system whereby it could order athlete number so-dan-so lo go to such-and-such district to compete in a government meet.

The United States wnr department has not even hinted that It wants con trol of amateur athletics lit this coun try, but It has advanced a plan or n general super vision of all amateur sports and opponents of the plan openly charge that the British method! of army control has been approved, Leaders of the two bodies which now control amateur sport claim that theorists are well qualified to formulate rules, but that they have uo qualifications for the executive end of tin- ■ game. They point out that amateur! athletics have prospered and increased i under the administration of the A. A.| U. and that collegiate sport lias been! just as succesful under the direction of the Intercollegiate Athletic Asso elation. INDIANA FARMERS SAID TO BE IN A WORSE FINANCIAL CONDITION THAN A YEAR AGO Indianapolis, May 2fi. — Hoosior fanners are in worse condition financially Ibis year than they were in 1921, George C. Rrynnt Indiana statlstican for the department of agriculture declared today. Many of them have to horrtfw money to pay taxes. Those who were not forced to borrow tax money, “went broke,” Bryant said in digging Into their own pockets for it. "Farmers are hiring very little help this year,” Bryant said. "They're doing all tlie work themselves.” These ills of the farmers were set fortß by Bryant: Lack of money and inability to obtain loans with which to carry them through until they market their crops; late planting of corn and sowing of oats due to flooding of their grounds, witli a possibility of a short crop of both products; a high mortality of hogs and other livestock during the last year. More than 350,000 hogs have died on Indiana farms during the last year, Bryant said. A majority of these deaths was due to cholera but a great many pigs died from exposure. The mortality rate among swine was 78 out of every 1,000. Revere outbreaks of cholera in nearly all sections of the state boosted tlie mortality rate among hogs to a higher point than has been in recent history,” Bryant said. Following is tlie mortality rate among other livestock in the state: Mules and horses, IS out of every 1,000; Cattle, IS out of each 1,000
