Gasoline For Every Motor Car DURING June, 1922, 271 thousand automobiles and trucks were produced as against 180 thousand cars in June, 1921, and 256 thousand cars in May, 1922. This is a new high record. The estimated in rease for 1922 in automobile registration ; >r the 10 states served by the Standard O l Company (Indiana) is i 500,000, making ; probable registration for this territory of ’,850,000 automobiles and trucks besides a argely increased number of tractors. This means that the already enormous demand for pet oleum products will be materially increai ed. To meet this demand requires unremitting effort on the part of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). When you look down the street and see the curb lined with automobiles, parked so closely that you have difficulty in finding space for your car, multiply what you see by hundreds of streets in hundreds of towns all over the Middle West and you will have a faint conception of the problem confronting the petroleum industry. Next consider that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is performing without a hitch a large part of the job of supplying this multitude of machines with fuel. This is made possible by a superb organization and by keen appreciation of human values in business. The same spirit of progressiveness which is applied to refining methods, machinery, stills, storage depots, and to distributing units is also applied to the personnel of 26 thousand men and women all interested in carrying out the Company’s policy of serving the public well. .

If you want a competent person, one who has proven hla ability as a business man, a thinker and a public servant, help elect your fellow citizen, John W. Tyndall to congress. Mr. Tyndall deserves the honor and will serve you well If elected. Register and vote for him. Ilcnry Ford in filing a report of the assets and nubilities of the Ford Motor Car company shows that the company has total resources of four hundred and ten million dollars, with over $143,000,000.00 in cash in the banks. No wonder the auto king an uounees a shut down of his big plant for September 16th. An Italian violinist, Vencenzo Gul lotta c: - some such name is going to re marry merely to please Ids dead' wife, he stating the “spirits" had: re vealed to him that she would be pleased if he would marry again. Vencenzo is no doubt thankful to the dead, hut the question is, will Mrs Gullotta, the second, haunt him? The senate has passed the Pomer ene act making it unlawful for a can didate for United States Senator to spend more than $10,000.00 anil congressmen to spend more than $5,000.00 in a general election. The bill does •lot regulate how much can be speni n a primary. Anyway why should a andidate for senator or congressman spend over that amount in an elecSion? Ask Newberry. Congress is about to pass the omm bus building bill and it is said that (lie bill contains a liberal appropriation for a new post office at For' Wayne. What has become of the bill iHoviiling for a new postoffice at Decatur? The government has already purchased the site anil our congress man should get busy. If other cities are getting in on the “pork barrel" Decatur is just as deserving as any oilier city.

DECATUR DAILY DEJiIUOtAi, TU ESI)AY, SEPTEMBER fr, 1922

Local coal dealers have not a pound of coal for delivery and those who had cars enroute had them confiscated by the railroads under the government's priority orders. Winter will soon be here and from information we have obtained not half of the people have their bins filled. Dealers state that they believe they will get "oal within the next week or two and that they hope to supply all demands before cold weather. A few cars of Indiana coal arrived in the city this week for the municipal plant and it is sincerely hoped that the next few weeks will bring relief. A local citizen writing in tbe Peoples Voice column" in this paper made a suggestion that seems to meet with approval. He proposes that the old grist mill—which we understand Is not used anymore—at the end of North Second street be removed, of course without expense or loss to the owner, and the site and that ground north and east of it running to the river be cleared and a city park established. If parks are wanted and needed within a few years in Decatur it is believed that this tract of ground could be used to advantage, the over flow from the river only coming in Hie spring or early summer and not interfering with the place when it would be used l>y the public. This citizen also adds that if the mill were removed the road should be straightened and the curve, which is somewhat dangerous be eliminated. The suggestions are worthy of discu. sion anil consideration. The thirsty of Wabash were figuring on celebrating Labor Day with a sort of “a hot time in the ol’ town tonight" progiam by devoting the da: to the bottling up of their - winter's supply of grape wine, when the revenue collector announced the receipt of the following letter from Bert Morgan, federal prohibition officer I for Indiana and plans for the big party wen: spoiled. Morgan wrote“ln reply to yours of August 29th, relative to the manufacture of gTapowine, you are advised that it is both a violation of the state and national laws to manufacture wine in thi„ state tor home use or for any other purpose except by bonded winery for sacramental purposes. One may make grape juice or any other fruit juices but they must not be allowed lo ferment. No sugar must be added or any other ingredients that will increase the percentage of alcohol. Therefore, you may advise your inquirers that wine cannot he made in Indiana; that only grape juices anil fruit juices cam be made but they must not be allowed to ferment.” The above ruling may also serve as a bit of information. Porter Family Reunion Held Here on Sunday The annual reunion of the Porter family was held in Bellmont Park on Sunday, September 3. About forty members of the family were present. No program of entertainment was given but the day was spent in a social manner. A large basket dinner was served at noon.

| BESSIE | By AGNES G. BROGAN j{j SescFasascSESßSssarerasiSESZSESESt 110. ldil, by WritarUnion.) | When Bessie, the black cow, was on her peaceful way to pasture thut morning, who could hnvo foreseen that she would have an Influence on two young human lives? Professor Laidlow would have scoffed the idea. When Peggy saw the cow, she made for the highest fence, and perched there in trembling fear. Peggy was unfamiliar with the ways of the cow, having Just come on from the city to visit Aunt Felice. She was considering, here in country quiet, a means of future livelihood. Also, Peggy was recovering from a supposed broken heart —recovering nicely. The young man who had caused this broken heart was dazedly unaware of the cause of his failure to win it. Briefly, Peggy told Aunt Felice that he wae a coward. On this particular morning of Bessie's Joyous outing. Peggy had been on her way to the brookside to read a magazine, but lnuoceni Bessie blocked the way. The girl, in panic, glanced around the enclosure wherein she was trapped with the cow —and made for the fence top. Peggy relapsed for a time into forgetfulness of danger, picturing the hero who might come boldly to her relief. “Great guns!” exclaimed a shaking masculine voice from below, and rapidly a man clambered up beside her. “I never saw the beast,” he chattered, “until I was directly beside him. I was cutting through the meadow, In order to quickly reach the schoolhouse. The animal looks vicious—l beg your pardon. Were you caught In a like predicament?” “I was,” she replied, “and I hoped that some brave person might happen along to release me. It appears the brave person has not happened.” The man was contemptuously oblivious of her disdain. “I’m no matador,” lie returned curtly. Peggy shifted her position to look him over, "What —are you?” she asked impertinently. “I am here to apply for the position of school principal,” he told her. Peggy almost lost her balance in the excitement of this information, and was obliged to steady herself by the man’s unwilling arm. “Why, I’ve applied for the school myself,” she said. “You won't get It.” His tone was ungracious. “Women ate not reliable enough to hold positions of any importance.”

"Yon talk,” she suggested spitefully,' “like a man who has been disappointed —ln love, perhaps.” "I have been disappointed,” he surprisingly answered. “The young woman whom I foolishly thought had captured my fancy proved to be Impertinent. She was in my classes. I can brook Impertinence from no one. It Is to me most distasteful.” “Just as cowardice In man la distasteful,” remarked Peggy, sadly reminiscent—“and most disappointing.” pie professor, for the first time, regarded her with interest. Something in the wistfulness of her tone found an echo in his own heart. “You, too,” he questioned gently, “have known dls- j illuslomnent?” Peggy nodded. “Os course,” she ad- j mitted. “Aunt Sophia, with whom I live in tbe city, Is rather disagreeable to young men whom she thinks may be , paying me attention. Bat that was no reason why Ted Thayer should have ■ been afraid to come to the house, and ! so he asked me to meet him at the I home of a mutual friend.” “Certainly not,” emphatically agreed j the professor. “I have decided,” said Peggy, sos- j tened, “to withdraw my school appllca- i tlon in your favor. You will undoubtedly be the person for the place.” “I had about decided to relinquish j my Idea of coming here,” the professor | confessed, “when I started out this | morning. Too deadly monotonous, the ; place seemed to me, for even the fur- j thering of my true purpose, for the j school has been only a means to the j end of enabling me, in country seclu- ■ sion, to complete a certain work on ; science. But since you and I sat here : together I have come to the conclusion ' that If you remain—do you intend tc; remain?” The professor's tone was j eager. In strange, happy confusion, Peggy i reached for a low hanging red apple, j Lightly she swung it to and fro. “Aunt Felice Is anxious to have me I stay for the summer; I really think i that would be delightful. And —Aunt j Felice Is not the least bit like Aunt ] Sophia.” Something softly moist brushed Peg- j gle's palm, and the apple slipped from her grasp. Then, gratefully, Bessie I rubbed her black head against the; girl’s knee. “Why!” breathed Peggy, “she's not savage at all. Why, I believe 6he likes me.” “How,” asked the professor Incoherently, “could she, or anyone, or—or me, help liking you?” Gallantly he assisted Peggy.from her pefich. '“I 'om going your way ”, he announced, which was surprising, as the professor could not know which way was to he Peggie’s. •% “it Is nice,” she said, as his arm protected her against Bessie’s calm length, “to meet a brave man.” s \ The professor smiled with satisfaction. ’ “And bow impossible.” he remarked, “to think of you in connection with an I impertinent saying,”
