A large crowd was present and everyone was highly entertained throughout the evening. ’ The supplies were exhausted by nine ' o'clock, but still the crowd remained. The largo crowd was entertained by numerous selections rendered by the • orchestra and the members Were at their best. Those present were well paid for the time and money spent, i’rof. Bliss, the instructor, deserves much praise and credit for his efforts 1 in bringing out such a musical organization in such remarkable short time of practice. The members of this orchestra are composed from every branch and grade of the Monroe schools, who have developed into real , musicians and become prolicient in . their parts. They play many difficult and up-to-date selections and will in ia very short time reach out further in their musical line. The numbers I i-'-ndered Thursday night were beautii ,ui and were well received, which was I evidenced by the loud applause given I them. | Tile members of the orchestra desire to extend their most sincere thanks for the liberal patronage accorded (hem, for the assistance ren- ' dered, and especially to the ladies I who furnished the cake on this occa I --.ion. This was the first entertain- | meat and social given by the school orchestra, and it is hoped that a repetition of the same will again take place before the social scaseu «tas >. — — ' REFORMATORY SUPERINTENDENT ADVISES FATHERS TO BE BUDDIES TO THEIR SONS Indianpols, July 28. —If dads would lie buddies with their sons, the state penal institutions would become gradually vacant in the opinion of G. A. J. Shidcler, superintendent of the I state reformatory. "It modern fathers would spend les.; time chasing the almighty dollar i and more in companionship with their sons, the reform school and peniteniaries would not be half so crowded,” lie said. Shideler's advice to fathers of Indiana was: “Be a pal to your son and you will not need to have fear for his future.” Kleinknight-Kunkle Family Reunion to Be Held on August 31st

(THIEVES BROKE INTO RESIDENCE Home of H. 1). Wyant on Bellmont Park Road Entered Last Night Thieves broke into the home of Mr. and Mrs. 11. D. Wyant on Bellmont Park road last night but it is not thought any articles were taken before the intruders were frightened away. Tlie Wyant family is moving from Seventh street into the house located on the point where the paved road and the gravel road separte a short distance east of the river bridge, and did not have all of the household goods moved into the houije yet. The family stayed at the old home on Seventh street last night but Mr. Wyant stopped at the house on the Bellmont road about 10 o’clock last night after a visit at the fair ground When the lights from his automobile flashed on the house, Mr. Wyant noticed a man running from the house, and the rear door, which had been locked, was open. Mr. Wyant hurried into the city and returned to the house with Mat Breiner, night policeman, and a few other men. When they entered the house no trace of the thieves could bo found. Owing to the fact that the family was in the act of moving, it is difficult to determine whether or not any articles were taken. • • TRI KAPPAS TO GIVE DANCES IN MASONIC HALII THREE NIGHTS THIS WEEK The Tri Kappa sorority will give dances in the Masonic hail on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights this week.

Only Two Months Gasoline Supply Actually Stored MUCH has been said during the past few weeks respecting the vast amount of gasoline in storage, and many have drawn conclusions from these statements which are not justified by the facts. It is true that there is a fairly large storage on hand but when this storage is set against the consumption its relative size diminishes rapidly. Between January 1 and[June 1 the storage of gasoline was increased about 270,000,000 gallons, while the monthly consumption increased but 224,000,000 gallons: but during June the consumption was largely increased while the storage remained stationary. During the past six weeks storage has decreased, as was to be expected, and this decrease will continue until late in the fall. Here are the rnost recent statistics taken reports of the U. S. Bureau of Mines: Gasoline Stocks, Jan. 1922 - - • gals. Gasoline Consumption. Jan. 1922 • 274.841,808 Gasoline Stocks, June 1, 1922 - - f0b,607,102 Gasoline Consumption, May, 1922 4J9,2H,043 She June consumption figures compiled by the ureau of Mines are not yet available but we know from our own records that consumption is making heavy inroads into stocks. Even at the present rate of consumption there is not to exceed 60 days supply in storage, which for this time of the year is abnormally low. Re- . ports from refining areas indicate that refineries all over the country are being run to capacity, and we do not anticipate a gasoline shortage though predictions to that effect are being made. It has always been the practice of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to operate its refineries to as near capacity as possible during the months of low consumption in order that it might have on hand adequate supplies during periods of great consumption. Only a large and efficiently organized company can'provide facilities which insure service regardless of demand. It is because the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) always is working, mouths in advance, that it can promise at all times a steady, constant, dependable service. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.
