siding one and one-half miles southeast of Monroe, broke his left arm above the elbow in a fall at his home at 12:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Tile iud was brought to the Adams county hdspitul where lie ia receiving medical attention. The lad was playing in the yard with other children and he stopped on a 4-inch tile. The tile rolled with him and the boy fell on his left arm. The fracture was u very serious one. The bones cannot be set until the arm is treated and the blood vessels mend partially, as there is scarcely any pulse in the left hand now. HI luck seems to pursue young Hendricks. Last March he fell and broke one of his legs. He was con fined to bed for several weeks with this injury. WRECK VICTIMS.

Back Wash THE bt slness of refining petroleum has many hazards—not the least of which accrues from the necessity of balancing the supply with the demand. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) always has kept itself in a position to supply the demand of its customers for petroleum products, no matter how great or abnormal the demand might be. During the winter months, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) refined and stored large quantities of gasoline in anticipation of the busy summer season. Other refiners in the Middle West pursued the same course. In previous years the midcontinent refiners have found a ready market for their surplus product on the Atlantic seaboard. This year the heavy, unprecedented and un-looked-for California production upset calculations. Enormous quantities of California crude petroleum and California gasoline were shipped to the Eastern seaboard by boat, flooding the market and cutting off one of the principal outlets of the midcontinent refiners. The result was a back wash of distress gasoline in the Middle West which had to be sold. It was this distress gasoline that the Governor of South Dakota was able to purchase at less than the present day cost of manufacture and distribution. By selling it without profit, and without any expense for distribution, he was enabled to announce a drastic, temporary reduction from the then existing selling price. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) white protesting that it was below the cost of production, refining and distribution plus a reasonable profit met this price because it is the established principle of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) that its customers shall be able to buy its products as cheaply as they can buy similar products from any competitors. The success achieved by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is due in larger measure to the fact that at all times it has held paramount the welfare of its customers whose respect and esteem it has won and intends to hold.
