New Service Fitted to New Possibilities WE move swiftly in America — change is the order of the day — industrial economics are chan,tine labor relationships are changing. The size ot the oil business is changing and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) keej ing step with progress, is changing its methods of doing business, to meet the new conditions as they arise. We invent, and improve, and learn, and go ahead. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) developed the Burton Pricers to increase the recovery of gasoline to meet the demand caused by the increasing number < t automotive machines. It improved merchandising methods until its distribution and marketing systems are the standard of efficiency for the industry. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) developed new methods of handling its business. Many of these are applied to adminis*rati”ti inside the organization, — as for instance, the Industrial Relations Flan, the Annuity Han, and the Stock Purchasing Flan, all of which have resulted in bringing the Company and its employes closer together. Other methods have expanded the Company’s activities in new directions,— as for instance, in the development of a chain of service stations located at convenient points throughout the ten Middle Western states where the imt-rist may secure his requirements of fuel and oil in such quantities as he may need. This is btn one of the many improvements which the Compan y hss p dopted to Letter the service which it is rendering the people of the Middle West. All these methods tend to hold clown prices. This is recognized in a recent article in Petroleum Age which says, “No other product or power of like value, obtained at such expense and under such hazardous conditions, is furnished the people at such reasonable prices at all points of the country, as oil and its products.’’ In the petroleum industry the real problem of the hour is service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is continually fitting new service to new possibilities and adapting its established service to meet new conditions. This noiicy makes for prosperous business, without which no nation can hope for general prosperity. As the demand for petroleum products increases, it will be found that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has put itself, by progressive development of new possibilities, in a position to give a service commensurate with the increasing demand.

TO RETURN TO GENEVA SCHOOL Don Cullom Decides To Give Up Position And Teach Another Year Geneva. Ind., June 18. —(Special to Daily Democrat) Josephus Martin, president of the school board of Geneva. stated Sunday that Don Collum, who for the past three years hns been stipe rintendent of the Geneva schools, would return for another term, and that Mr. Collum, after previously deciding to retire from the teaching profession had decided to teach another year and that he had contracted his services to the board of this city for the term beginning next fall. A few weeks ago Mr. Collum had decided to leave the teaching profession and accepted a position with the Denoyer-Geppert Publishing Co., of Chicago. But, because of reasons which could not be learned, Mr. Collum last week decided to remain in Geneva, at least for another year. The news of his decision to remain will be greeted heartily by the patrons of the school, for during the three years of his superintendency he has accomplished very much here. At present Mr. Collum is spending the summer months near Indianapolis, and expects to return to Geneva early in the fall it being a good time to arrange for the opening of the school term in September. Owing to the lack of school funds, it was only possible to have eight months of si bool during the year just closed, but Mr. Martin stated that the term next winter would cover eight and a half months. Miss Forkner, teacher of English for the past year, will return, and the grade teachers have been employed, bit the history and methematic positions in the high school are still unfilled. 0 System Is Reprimanded Chicago, June 18 —(Special to DailyDemocrat) —The Pennsylvania railroad today was publicly reprimanded by the United States labor board for “refusal to permit a certain class of employes to select their own representatives to negotiate agreements covering and working conditions.
