Serving a Food Empire with Petroleum IN maintaining its extended and thoroughly organized system of distribution, which reaches every farm in the 10 Middle Western States served, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is rendering a distinct service, not to the agricultural district interests alone, but to all the people. The importance of this service may be visualized when it is known that 48% of the wheat \ 65 % of oats 53% of the corn 41% of the hay grown in the United States during 1921 came from thia territory. The farmers of this great area (approximating that of Great Britain and Ireland, 1 rance, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Holland, Denmark, and Germany combined) use large quantities of petroleum products in producing this vast amount of food stuffs. They have come to depend upon the regular visit of the dark green tank wagon of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to supply their needs. Power-driven machinery is essentia! to modern fuming operations, and it is the responsibility of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to see to it that the gasoline, kerosene, and lubricating oilsand other petroleum products are in the hands of the farmer when he needs them. ; To render this service requires an enormous organization of highly trained men under efficient management. It requires a tremendous capital investment; refineries; bulk service stations; tank wagons; and service stations to cope with the need of supplying an agricultural area of the size and importance ot these 10 Middle Western States. In undertaking the responsibility of supplying the needs of the farmer for petroleum products, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has assumed a job of magnitude and importance. Because it knows that its organization will not: break down under stress; that its facilities will enable them to meet the demands made upon it; that its personnel has -a deep interest in seeing that every manufectunng and distributing schedule is maintained, the Company to guarantee an adequate and sustaine s Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.- Michigan Ave., Chicago

CHINCH BUGS ARE BAD IN MANY COUNTIES , IN INDIANA THIS YEAR Lafayette, Ind., j llne 26.—Chinch bugs, which played havoc which crops in many Indiana counties last year, again are busy and promise to'cause thousands of dollars loss in many more counties this season, according to Prof. J. J. navis, head of the entomology department of Purdue University. The bugs are present In approximately two thirds of the In. counties, and apparently are worse in central and northern Indiana where they were worst last year. In many counties, where they were not found in 1921. they are present in numbers. Ordinarily, the chinch bugs are to be found In rye. wheat and barley fields and as a rule they are not quite mature and do not have their wings at the time the grain is cut so that it is necessary for them to travel on foot to new feeding grounds which usually are nearby corn fields. It ( t at this critical time that control Is most practical and farmers fearing chinch bug injury or observing chinch bug injury or observing chinch bugs in small grain should get in touch with their county agent in order to secure information on the methods of preparing the barrier line and places where the necessary materials can be obtained. The most effective control is a bar rier, consisting of a plowed furrow, the furrow to be thrown away from the small grain field and towards the field to be protected, this to be smoothed off and post holes made in the bottom of the furrow at intervals of 25 or 30 feet. The rim of the post holes should be cut so as to produce a fun nel-like effect and the sloping sides sprinkled with fine road dust in order to make a more effective trap in which to catch the bugs. A creosote line is then placed along the brow of the ridge. To apply the creosote, a bucket fs used in which a hole the size of an eight penny nail has been made near the bottom and the bucket is carried along at an ordinary walking pace which will allow a stream to pass out sufficient to make an effective barrier line. Creosote sinks into the ground

and acts entirely as a repellant. It is important that the line be along the brow of the hill, but dropping down to touch the post holes as necessary. Where coal-tar can be obtained at 6 or 8 cents a gallon it can be used in place of the creosote, although not quite as effective and much more must be used to make a satisfactory barrier to prevent further migration into the corn field and at the same time to spray the infested corn fields so that the bugs will not mature and fly into the corn to lay eggs for a second generation. An effective spray for the chinch bugs is whale oil soap and nicotine sulphate, using one pound of soap, preferably whale or fish oil soap, to 5 or 6 gallons of water, to which is added one ounce of nicotine sulphate. It is important that this first gener ation of bugs be controlled, otherwise they will mature and fly to all parts of the corn field where eggs for a second generation will be laid and the entire corn field- attacked c/id materially injured as a result. At the present time there are several unusual conditions In connnection with the chinch bug outbreak. Ordinarily, they do not affect corn until they migrate from grain to the corn fields but this year there are a number of corn fields in the state which now are badly infested with young bugs which have been there through out their life. This is due to the fact that the corn fields were grassy this spring when the bugs flew the first of May and were not plowed for corn until about the middle of May. The bugs flew to this grassy area and the mature bugs were not destroyed by the shallow plowing and were there to lay eggs in the corn field itself when the corn came up. Under such conditions, it is not practical to spray, as a rule. If the fields are so badly infested that the bugs will destroy the corn it is best to plow and thoroughly disc and roll the fields in order to destroy the bugs, this to be followed by planting soybeans which are not attacked by the bugs. Farmers are urged to see the county agents, as they can help fight the chinch bugs. If creosote and other supplies are not Immediately available plow a furrow and drag a log t/irough it as frequently as possible to produce a dust mulch. This will afford aid until creosote can be secured. NORTH MANCHESTER FAMILY HARBORING OLD SKUNK AND FAMILY OF LITTLE ONES North Manchester, Ind., June 26.— Joseph Schanlaub and the members of his family are taking an awful chance, according to neighbors, in harboring a skunk and her four little ones. The smaller animals have become so tame, they enter the chicken yard and eat with the fowls.

She is a canlidate for congress for the place now held by Judge F. It. Swank. On the back of her campaign cards the has printed the poem “Out Where ‘he West Begins." "It’s the spirit of the poem that caused me to put it on my cards and inject it into politics;” Miss Dunham hand today quoting: "Out where the handclasp's a little stronger. "Out where a smilo dwells a little longer. “That's where the West begins.” Three Oklahoma women have entered the campaign for congressional seats.

Miss Dunham is nationally known as an orator, having given many addresses during the last presidential campaign for the republican national committee-. She also took active part in war work during the war in many parts of the country. She is a candidate on a straight republican ticket and has come out for better legislation to assist farmers; more special attention to the interests of women and children; just treatment for the soldier by the government.

This is the first time Miss Dunham has been a candidate for office, although she has taken an active part tn affairs for years. “I don't know the tricks of politics," she said. “And I’m not sure that I want to know them. "I am not making any promises in my campaign. An honest person can’t do that as each situation must be worked out as it arises.” She is strong for women entering politics. “Too much of a separation is being made between men and women in world affairs,” she declared.' interests men, interests women and visa versa. “A line should not be drawn between men and women. 'They sholuld work together,

shoulder to aohulder, as they did during the war.” She believes that on womanhood rests equal responsibility with men for good government and states that Is one of the reason why she is n candidate. “Polson" arguments will not bo used by her In the campaign, when an oldtime politician advised her to attack one of the three men candidates who are opposing her. "I'll use sugar arguments," she said. “Sugar ferments." •_ | FOOT COMFORT WEEK WITH US AGAIN The millions of Foot Sufferers In this country and Canada will be interested to know that National Foot Comfort Week Is with us again. The object of Foot Comfort Week which wq# founded six years ago by Dr. Win. M. Scholl, the eminent foot authority and President of the Scholl Mfg. Co, was to bring to the attention of the public in a befitting way the necessity and value of having comfortable, efficient feet. Authentic records disclose the fact that seven persons out of every ten suffer from some form of foot trouble. That is an alarming condition when it is considered what an important factor the feet are in our daily race for success, pleasure and comfort. Tlie little corns on top of or between the toes, the callouses on the soles of the feet, a painful heel and that general tired, “all in" feeling at night are usually the outward symptoms of a breaking down or weakening of the bony framework of the feet Mr. Voglewede of the Charlie Voglewede Shoe Store has demonstrated to hundreds of his customers that it is entirely unnecessary for anyone to go through life with feet that are not thoroughly comfortable and efficient. He is putting forth a deserving effort to show’ the public that It should have its feet examined and the proper corrective appliances fitted. To do this work scientifically and successfully Mr. Voglewede has in his store a specially trained man known as a Practipedist who has studied the science of giving foot comfort through the Dr. Scholl method of foot correction. This foot expert is rendering this community an exceptionally valuable service in providing a thoroughly reliable source through which foot suffering may be quickly alleviated.
