Gasoline in Storage and the Motor CJbt ■ MUCH has been said of the enormous stocks of gasoline in storage, but very little has been said of this storage as it compares to the number of cars in commission. Recent statistics complied by the American Petroleum Institute comparing the number of m '-tor cars in commission with the amount of gasoline in storage, show that there was less gasoline per car in storage June 1 of this year than at any similar period during the last 5 years, with the exception of 1920.

The current output of the several large refineries of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) supplemented by the reserves now on hand, enables the Company to guarantee that the public shall have a steady, dependable supply of Red Crown Gasoline at its command. Because of its size, its progressive and efficient ' management, its ample resources, and unrivaled facilities, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is able to provide the needful amounts of petroleum products to supply the vast demands made upon it. Its manufacturing facilities are planned i to anticipate these needs years in advance and i always are ready for service. Its constantly expanding distribution system is growing as the need for this service grows. Even in the remote comers of the 10 states served by this Company, the dark green tank wagon is a familiar and welcome visitor. No matter how the production of crude oil has > fluctuated, no matter how urgent the demand nor how limited the supply, motorists will recall that not once in the most stringent emergencies of the past has the Standard Oil Comnanv (Indiana) through any fault of itsown, failed to supply their essential needs. This Company has every confidence that its future record of service will be equally satisfactory. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.

Decatur does not do things by halves Either we are or we are not for a thing. Every person in this, community believes in the philanthropic desire to provide a groat school and college for fatherless and motherless children, one which will bring everybody up and down to Main street. There have been many details and perhaps some mistakes. Don’t bother your head with these but join the community in welcoming our guests tomorrow. The Hoosier State Automobile association has performed many useful features for those who use the highways of the state. Warning signs at dangerous curves, railway crossings and other points on the roads have I prevented hundreds of accidents no doubt and the guide signs have pointed the way to many a traveler, all of which is appreciated, but nothing they have done is more noticeable in this immediate vicinity than the concrete guard erected at the bridge just north of the city. Compared to the wooden fence put up by the state on the north side of the bridge by the state highway commission the handsome and durable guard built by Mr.

Marker, Fort Wayne branch of the association. After more than four months of discussion the senate passed the tariff bill late Saturday evening and sent it to a conference with house members who will lurfc to agree on more than two thousand amendments. It is the most vicious tariff bill ever enacted at a time when we have the least reason for a high wall protection. It will increase the cost of living. It will make times harder. It will etcdMually bring defeat and discredit to those who forced it through. The test of the 4£e eating and when our people find that this law was enacted to make rich people richer and at the cost of those ■vho labor and toil it is needless to say it will be the most unpopular law ever passed. MMffff • MMNRr • The Indianapolis News has announced the results of its campaign to have the people decide who the ten greatest Indianaians are, the results in the order of votes received were Booth Tarkington, Elwood Haynes, Albert J Beveridge, Judge Albert B. Anderson, George Ade, Thomas R. Marshall, Mrs. Gene Stratton Porter. Meredith Nicholson, Kin Hubbard and Dr. J. N. Hurty. Half of them are literary people of fame but since our state has a reputation for authors, why not? Selecting ten great "people in Indiana proved a difficult job as four hundred and fifty people, were included in the lists sent in. It seems the list should have included some of our great educators, ministers and soldiers but the vote did not so indicate though many of them were close to the above.

SAYS SITUATION GROWS SERIOUS Nation to Suffer Seriously Through Inability to Move Farm Products I ailed Preu Staff I orveapeadrat Washington, Aug. 21—(Special to Daily Democrat) -Unless, the railroad strike is settled within twenty days, most of the nation will suffer in serious and widespread loss because of inability to obtain cars to transport farm products. Senator Borah. Idaho, today wired DeWitt Cuyler, chairman of the Association of Railway executives. Declaring "The situation is fast becoming intolerable.” Borah expressed hope that a "speedy settlement of the strike can be reached when negotiations are renewed between striking shopmen and executives on Wednesday." Borah, chairman of the senate labor committee, sent the telegram to Cuyler, following a long conference with Bert N, Jewell, head of striking, shopmen and William Johnston, chief of the machinists. *A rapidly growing deterioration in railroad equipment, threatening paralysis of transportation is causing loading rail executives who wanted a 'fight to the finish" in the shopmen’s strike to adopt a more conciliatory altitude, according to information to government officials. This is one of the main facts underlying the hope in administration circles that a settlement of the strike soon will be reached. Birthday and Wedding Anniversary Celebrated By Mr. Chas Arnold A large number of friends and relatives gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Arnold of near Peterson, on Saturday evening, to help Mr. Aronld celebrate his 47th birthday anniversary and Mr. and Mrs. Arnold’s 26th wedding anniversary.

Switzerland, Aug. 21 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—-Red tape of the Swiss government prevented Max Oser from obtaining a license to Wed Mathilda McCormick. John D. Rockefeller's granddaughter, last Saturday, it became known here today. Oser, captain in the Swiss artillery and former keeper of a livery stable at, Zurich, was turned down by officials when he applied at the marriage license bureair upon a technicality which can easily be obviated, it was said. It was expected that the groom would n aew«4>ts efforts this week. According to Swiss law, public notice of a proposed marriage must be given a fortnight before it occurs. Since this is the legal residence of Oser it is expected that the bans will be posted here. o HAD FINE REUNION The Brown family had a very enjoyable time at their reunion at Bellmont Park on last Saturday. About seventy-five were present to enjoy the delicious dinner that was spread at noon. Relatives were here from surrounding counties, and others farther away from Huntington. Hammond, Bedfoid, Indiana; and Grant Brown and family, drove from Omaha Nebraska. This was the second annual reunion for the Browns. ■ ——.
