Some one has suggested that perhaps Saunders, the Piggly-W iggiy man had a flesh colored water bottle hidden in his mustache, assisting him to run the temperature up along Wall street. A few days like this will make every, one think about painting up and cleaning up the house and yard aud store. Decatur should be made the most attractive place in the I state and it cart easily be.

Five Million Dollars More for Taxes Than Dividends INDUSTRY to live and be successful must earn sufficient money to compensate the three major factors who have investment interest in the enterprise. First, the stockholder who has invested his savings in the business; second, the employe who has invested his time and talents; third, the people who have given property protection and the right to do business. Ten years ago the Standard Oil Company, Inc. was dissolved under an order of the United States Supreme Court, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) became an independent organization, controlled by a Board of Directors elected by the stockholders. In the ten years of its existence, as an independent organization, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has paid in wages the sum of 335 million dollars to the employes who have invested their time and talents in the service of the Company. To the Federal, State, County and Municipal Governments, who have furnished property and police protection, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana! has paid, in the form of taxes, approximately 79 million dollars in cash, while the stockholders whose thrift and enterprise have made the business possible have been paid cash dividends of 74 million dollars. In a word the Company has paid, during the past ten years over 5 million dollars more in taxes than the stockholders have received as dividends. These payments have been possible only because the management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has conducted its business in a highly efficient and satisfactory manner, and has won public support through the shieer merit of the service the Company has rendered, and the superior quality of the goods it has made and sold. In addition to these cash payments the Company has succeeded in accumulating an invested surplus which has enabled it to largely expand its activities and intensify the service it renders the public by meeting the insistent demands for petroleum products which have become indispensable to our social and economic welfare.

If tomorrow is a nice day audit's predicted, the usual temptation to see if the old car will pick up as it used to, will be strong. Don't do it. The police are watching tor violations of the speed laws and its a bad practice anyway. A man has been arrested on the I charge of assaulting two little girls north of here Thursday morning. If guilty he is dangerous and the sooner fiends of this kind are taken care of in a legal way, the better off is society. Some of those government men who worked in Gary will come out o',' the conspiracy trial with about as good a reputation as the bootleggers according to evidence now being offered. Does it take a bootlegger to catch one? • If half of the testimony being presented in the federal court at Grand Rapids is based upon fact it is time hat King Benjamin Purnell, high priest of the House of David, were publicly branded as a religious- fraud and libertine, and the cult over which he has long exercised a dominating Influence compelled to it-omport itself in accordance with state and fed■ral law's regulating public and privite morals. The witnesses, all formr members of the House of David, ire testifying, in thq action against Purnell, under oath and.the shocking ■ondtious they have revealed bears out the often whispered stories of unbridled free love in the colony which has grown numerically and tinancial'y strong in Benton Harbor and its igrkultural environments. If Purnell annot successfully refute what his | i - srstwhile subjects are saying about Tim the end of his career as a dom-' rant factor in the Beuton Harbor [ . 1 colony 1 is nearing the end that usual-1 iv befalls men who set themselves i ' ip as authorized representatives of deity.—Goshen News-Times.

Heavy increases in the total savings deposits for 1922 in the BSO savings institutions reporting to the Federal Reserve Board are shown in a report made by the board. The average increase of the reporting institutions, said to represent about 77 per cent of the total savings for the country, was given as more than half a billion dollars for the twelve month periosl. Savings deposits in the 88C banks aggregated $5,837,363,000 on January 1, 1922 and $6,282,172,000 on January 1, 1923, a gross increase ot more than $445,000,000. The increases shown were almost equally distributed over the country, the boards figures showing that every Federal Reserve district has greater savings de posits than on the preceding January 1. The above figures embodying the report of 880 banks are in accord with the report just issued by the American Bankers’ Association which shows that the increase in savings lor all the banks of the country in 1922 over f 921 total $1,500,000,000. The figures are respectfully referred to those who doubt the soundness of the foundation upon which American prosperity is based. TO SELL OLD VIOLIN
