Looking Ahead IN ATTEMPTING to vision the demands for its products, which the next ten years may develop, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), taking counsel of its long experience, is preparing to care for an enormously increased business when it develops. In the decade just past the demand for gasoline has increased far beyond the dream of the most imaginative, as viewed from 1913 In that year there were 1,287,000 automotive vehicles registered in continental United States. Today there are more than ten times as many, yet, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is able to supply the demand for iis service now more promptly and with greater efficiency than was possible ten years ago. The Company has been able to keep up with this great, constantly increasing, demand because it always is working with a keen eye to the future and preparing, so far as is possible, for the extreme demand which may be developed. During the past ten years the Company has found it necessary to expand its manufacturing facilities to an extraordinary degree; to create and develop processes which wculd recover a greater amount of gasoline from a given quantity of crude, without in any way sacrificing quality —to expand and perfect a network of distributing outlets which would operate with machine-like precision — bulk storage depots, service stations, delivery trucks and tank wagons. Not even the remotest spot in the ten Middle Western states is without Standard Oil service. All of these things have been done. They havs been accomplished Without any blare of trumpets—just as a part of the day’s work. > It is the ambition of the 27,000 men and women who make up the personnel of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to conduct every department of the Company’s activities so that you. as an American citizen, will point with pride to the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as a leader in a highly specialized branch of an essential industry.

LESSON FOR JUNE 17 • tSTHER, THE FATRIOT QUEEN LKMON TEXT—Esther OOUtEN TEXT--"Who know.th wheth.r thou art com. to the kingdom ror such a time •• this?"— Esther 4:14. PRIMARY TOPIC— Esther, the Brave Queen. Her Pe?.pl. To,,,C “ W,iat Dl* tor INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPiC—Egthtr'i Herofam. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —A Study ot Patriotism. Isthar Made Queen (Chapter* 1. This drama took place In ths Persian court, where Ahasuerus (Xerxes) sat upon his throne, surrounded by bl* princes and servant*. Six month* of festivity wer* drawing tn a close, arranged by th* king tn order to Impress upon the people of hi* mighty empire the fact of hl* grtatneaa. The list day* of this feast were marked with drunken debauchery. In a drunken frenzy the king commanded Vashti to come before the people to display her beauty. Vashtl showed her independence by refusing to obey. She was Instantly deposed. In providing ■ queen to take her place, the most beautiful maidens in th* empir* were brought together from whom the king might make a selection. Th* choice fell upon Esther, a maid of the Jewish captivity. The king did not know that she was a Jewess, but God knew, and He put her there for a purpose. 11. Haman’s Plot Against th* J*w* (Chapter 3). 1. The Occasion of (vv. 1-8). Fot some reason Hamaa waa given chief place over the princes. Though all bowed before him. Mordecai, Esther’s cousin, stoutly refused to do »o. 2. Its Nstur* (vv. T-15). Harden desired to lay hands upon Mordecai for hfs Insubordination, but hesitated. Instead of such drastic action he laid a plot tn destroy all the Jews, and there by take vengeance on Mordecai. who he learned was a Jew. He made the king believe that the Jews wer* an unprofitable people and induced him to order their annihilation, promising to bring Into the royal treasury an enor mon* sum of money. 111. Haman’s Plot Foiled (4:1-8:14) 1. Fasting Among the Jews (4:1-3) When Mordecai and hi* people per ceived all that was done they put on sackcloth and ashes and cried to God 2. Mordecai'* Charge to Esther (4:4 14). He sent to Esther a copy of the decree and charged her to go before the king and make supplication for her people. Esther pointed out the difficulties in the way. Possible death awaited her should her uninvited presence -not meet th* approval of the king. 3. Rather'* Daring Adventure (4:165:2). Mordecai pointed out to her that her own life was endangered. She might meet death by venturing Into the king's presence. She would surely meet death were Haman's plot not foiled. When thus brought face to face with duty, the heroism which so frequently has characterized her race moved her to undertake the hazardous . task nnd prayerfully carry it out After three day* of fasting and prayer she put on her royal npparel and stood In the king's court, winning his approval. 4. Esther Pleading for Her People I (5:3-7:6). Esther knew that an easy way to the heart of the king was through his stomach, so she invited | him and Haman to a banquet. She ; proposed a second banquet, at which ; she planned to make her request known. During the interval some ! strange things took place. A gallons was built upon which to hang Mordecai. at the heartless suggestion of Haman's wife. And the king, during a sleepless night, w*s moved to search the court records, where he found that Mordecai had not been rewarded for saving hl* life. So. In order to express his appreciation for this act of heroism on the part of Mordecai. he gave orders obliging Haman to do honor to th* one he wns preparing to hang. At the second banquet Esther pointed out Haman'* wicked plot to kill the jews and asked of the king that her people He sated. In his wrath the king ordered Haman hanged 08 the gallow* which had been prepared 1 tor Mordecai. 5. The Counter Decree Issued (8:514)' The original decree could not he reversed, so a counter decree was is sued which enabled the Jews to de fend themselves. This was dispatched to the furthest parts of the kingdom. At the appointed time there wa» great slaughter- and the Jews were saved. God granted relief and the Feast of Purim was instituted as a memorial of their deliverance. God’* Plow.

These venders-sell from dry goods down to extracts, cuttle powders, and even louse killers. This Is in violation of an ordinance framed and adopted by a board of trustees some years ago, but has rarely been enforced, thus many a foreign peddler slipped into this town and taken away 'nany dollars which right fully belong •d to our home merchants. This •ottld be averted by a little more dilitent enforcement of said ordinance by the authority that may be in pow•r. Our business men must have pro‘.ection according to the law.
