From Crude— To Gasoline— To Miles That is the part the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) plays in your domestic and commercial life. To make gasoline is one thing—but to make the kind of gasoline that will give you the utmost of mileage is quite another. To this end, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has invested millions hy the score, in research, in laboratory equipment and in manufacturing facilities. The result is Red Crown The Hi&h-Gratie Gasoline It is the best, the most efficient, the most economical gasoline you can buy—regardless of price. It starts more easily; it gives your car a quicker get-away; a snappier, smoother acceleration; greater sustained pulling power; all the speed your engine is capable of developing, and the most miles per gallon. It vaporizes to the last drop — there is no waste—year in, year out. If you use Red Crown you know—if you don’t use it, try it today and you will be convinced.

Teter Kyuo, author of the Cappy Rick# stories, attended the speedway races and after looking them over carefully rises to inquire why the people go to see auto races and take . such an interest when all over this ■ country they put ’em in jail tor go- , ing over thirty? Why? Tlte mayor of Cleveland has vetoed t an ordinance recently passed there J to offer a SIO,OOO reward for the ari rest of John Whitfield, murderer. ' The mayor says he can see no reason 1 why the money should be thus ex- ' pended for every good police officer works without monetary reward. Sounds reasonable. Tite Indianapolis speedway may be abandoned. Officials have been called to meet in a few days to decide whether they will expend an additional $200,000 which must be done this year if the race is continued or quit. Carl Fisher, organizer and head, says they have accomplished their desire to place American cars ahead of foreign makes and personally is ready to suspend if that is the real desire of the Legion.

' Installation of the new ornamental » lights on Second street from the f traction station south to Jefferson > street will begin Monday. They will ■ add greatly to appearances of our i city. If the painting program is car- ■ ried out one hundred percent as promised, we will have a snappy looking down town section as well as I the best residence district of any 1 city our size in the middle west. The two cents a gallon gas tax goes on today. Every time you buy a gallon of gasoline for your car you will pay two cents to the state. You pay it one way or another though it may be covered by the wholesaler paying first. When they tell you taxes are not increasing just think about that. The money will be spent somewhefe else too or at least, the greatest portion of it and in such a way that you will never see any actual return, probably. It is estimated that a million gallons of gasoline will be sold in this county this year. Perhaps much more than that. But at that figure we will pay twenty thousand dollars in a year as our tribute to this little side tax line. It’s too much and it’s a crime that money can be thus raised without any need or any demand other than that a few people want

more money with which to no certain things. Some day we will awaken to the fact that we are over taxed apd a political organization sincerely and honestly pledged to cut to the last degree, will be put in power. The effort to clean the river banks and beautify them will culminate in a few days. A meeting of several boosters will be held within a day or two and then the various organizations will be asked to assist in making the work complete. Manager Carmody of the sugar factory has agreed to furnish a large number of workers for a day, several organizations have sent word they will take part in the work and it is hoped a big holiday can be get aside and the work -practically completed in one day. There are several entrances to the city which should be beautified and tlii® can be included in the same campaign. It will all cost but little aud it means so much. It must make a fellow feel like he had been playing a “three ball game’’ when lie reads each day of the quarrels and contests for a division of the money by the heads of the ku klux. There is absolutely no returns so far as can be ascertained from your initiation fee and the originators of the “campaign of hate’’ are living high and growing rich at the expense of several million donators, who are being “joshed" out of a “jinin’ fee." A petition filed at Atlanta, home of the order, yesterday,

asks a discontinuation of the expenditure of funds and alleges that the high officers have turned the klan into a “personal machine for the enrichment and personal aggradizement of themselves, and declared the organization is breaking up through threats of some of the realms to secede and establish independent orders.” That ought to be convincing.

Any breaking out or skin irritation on face, neck or body is overcome quickest by applying Rowles MenthoSulpher, says a noted skin specialist. Because of its germ destroying properties, nothing has ever been found to take the place of this sulphur prepartion that instantly brings ease from the itching, burning and irritation. Rowles Mentho-Sulphur heals eczema right up, leaving the skin clear and smooth. It seldom fails to relieve the torment or disfifigurement. A little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur may be obtained at any drug store. It is used like cold cream. AREITTENDiNG STATEJMEETING Rev.
