Fast driving is dangerous and the reports each day prove . it. Drivers should take warning and there should not be need for speed laws which are always violated any way. Today wo will have as our guests a half dozen managers of Indiana dis tricts of Yeomanry who come here upon invitation to look at our proposed sites and to catch the spirit here to assist in the great effort to bring the proposed school and home for children to Indiana. They will be entertained while here and will be shown the advantages of our community as well as our honest desire to help in the great ideal of Mr. McKee, Mr. Farmer and the others who are devoting their lives to the work Tonight a reception will be given at Yeoman hall following the Chautauqua meeting and you are invited to meet the visitors and to say “howdy.' Bo sure to be there. According to Secretary of Labor Davis, peace in the rail strike is up to the federal labor board who can se cure a settlement by restoring seniority rlggts. We don't Know much about the rules and regulations ol the board but we can't see just where it would make a lot of difference who comes first in promotion. What the public wants is the trouble smoothed out and if its simply changing some rule of that kind, in Heaven's Same what are they fooling around for'.’ The worst thing about government con trol it seems, is the everlasting and always prevalent delay in the red tape methods used.

Just as Congressman Vestal and District Chairman Cartwright had it ill framed up for Cartwright to walk into the Portland postoffice along the early part of September, now comes a bunch of into-republlcans, headed by the Portland Republican, an earn est admirer and friend of Albert J. Beveridge, and demands that an elec tion be held, and that the man —or woman—getting the greater number of votes be declared the successful candidate. This would put Mr. Cart wright on the shelf, as Portland is decidedly Beveridgesque, but what would it do to the blessed civil service? Here comes the civil service and says the candidate receiving the high est percentage shall be declared the successful party, but Billyhays put another meaning to the law and declared that any of the three highest taking the examination could be ap pointed. Now, with an election, th< fellow with the highest vote, whether he could read or write, would go to Mr. Harding's hired hands and de mand the job, because be was tin choice of the people. Wouldn't be an} worse, at that, than the proposed deal •it Ossian. There's E.

A Fall Measure of Service THF First Quarterly Summary of Refinery Statistics issued by the Bureau of Mines (1922) states that 25# more gasoline was nurchased bv consumers in January, February and March, 1922, than in the correspondinT Period of 1921. Many well-informed marketers are predicting that there will be an Sufficient supply of gasoline this summer in the Middle W est. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has increased its facilities so largely that it fee s safe h stating that it will be able to render to the people of the 10 states it serves that degree of service which the public has come to expect from this organization. The manufacturing facilities of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) have a capacity of more than one billion gallons of gasoline per vear These facilities are being operated 24 hours every day that patrons may be certain of securing their requirements of petroleum products as they need them. When the flood tide of demand occurs, car owners will realize that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has anticipated their needs fully and completely. When a motorist fills his tank at a convenient service station in some remote corner of the Middle West, he may never stop to consider the vast and complicated machinery needful to put that gasoline where he wants it at the moment he needs it most. But he will appre. ciate that it is there. He may never know that serving him involves experienced executives of trained initiative and resourcefulness; enormous expenditures for labor and raw material; great, modern refineries continuously operated; immense storage facilities; a magnificent distribution system; and the uniform effort of an organization of 25,000 men and women. All this is back of that small quantity of Red Crown gasoline which every summer tourist confidently expects to purchase and surely finds at all points in the territory served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) considers genuine service. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago 2836
