Mo Bandits held up a roadhouse near Springfield. 111., and robbed several hundred people of several thousand dollars and the queer thing is that they don’t get much sympathy. Most of them won’t admit being there and the bandits had that all figured in advance no doubt. Mr. Coolidge announced he would carry out the Harding policies. Every one knows that Mr. Harding's ■heart was set upon the world court. Now comes the news from Washington that Mr. Coolidge, busy with plans for the next campaign, will leave that matter up to the senate. Good by world court and good by Mr. Harding’s biggest policy.

They ask your co-opera-tion. The state tax board don’t know whether to make the tax levy for state purposes twenty-nine or thirty - seven cents. Since that extra eight cents would raise millions of dollars it ought to be easy to figure. The truth is they would like to have the money but are afraid of what the tax payers will say when it comes to voting. The result will probably be a compromise which will cost you all enough. It doesn’t seem to be a question of what they need to economically conduct the state but what they can get. Fifty years ago the typewriter was invented and given to the world by Christopher Sludes of Ilion. New York. Bis daughter was the first stenographer ,aud a very one it, is said.

Get the hate out of ytrtir heart and love in its place and we will all get along much better. The works seems to be almost as much up side down now as it was a few years ago and the cause Is evident.

When he conies in from a run Colie always lingers around the shops until No. 1167 is inspected and groomed for her next trip. When repairs are needed, Colie can't be driven out of the shop with a shotgun. The story that he hangs around, watching the shopmen as anxiously as a mother hen with her chicks. When repairs involve an overnight job. Colie sleeps in the roundhouse within call. All this isn’t surprising, if you know anything about the average locomotive engineer and his loyalty to his job. Colie Chandler starts us thinking about the generally accepted notion that the average person works reluctantly ami quits with a shout when the whistle blows. Sometimes we all act that way. But the trouble is with our nerves rather than a desire to put miles beteen ourselves and our jobs. For instance, a real dyed-in-the-wool newspaperman never reads the papers as eagerly as when he is on a vacation. As if he were afraid that he might miss being in on a big job of reporting. Work is .like an old I horse or an auto that has nearly served its day. The driver gets irritable at times and cusses and fumes. But just let an outsider start criticising, and you quickly learn what the owner really thinks of his steed. The owner of the most shot-to-pieces flivj ver is ever eager to boast about what 'it can still do. So with our jobs, drat them. We hate and love them in the same breath.

Postal picnic 1 : WELL ATTENDED 1 - Postal Employes of County Held Big Gathering At Bellmont Park Sunday, f _____ 1 Upon the call of Postmaster Harry 1 Fritzinger, of Decatur, the postal employes of Adams county and their families met at Bellmont Park on ! Sunday, September 16th. for a basket picnic and get-together meeting of all postal workers in the county. 1 Near the noon hour the Fords came i rolling in from every quarter, bringj ing postmasters, assistant postmasters, clerks, city carriers, rural carriers. substitutes, patrons, ex-post-masters and friends, all bringing well 1 filled baskets of the best that Adams i county produces. About one hundred and fifty were present and enjoyed the wonderful dinner that the ladies had prepared. The crowd was entertained by a male quartet composed of C. L. Walters, Dr. Neptune, Henry Dellinger and W. F. Beery and also a few special selections of Dr. Neptune. Doc was voted the youngest man present. Splendid Talks Given C. L. Walters. Postmaster Harry Fritzinger, Ex-postmaster Bosse and others gave splendid talks on the postal service as a whole. The postal employes with Postmaster Fritzinger acting as chairman then organized a County Service Council, the object of which will be to increase the efficiency of the postal service in Adams county, to improve working conditions in postoffices, and to effect closer co-opera-tion and better understanding among; the public, the postmasters, and employes of the postal service. The following officers were elected: President, E. B. Macy, of Deca tur; vice-president, G. A. Hahnert, of Monroe; secretary, H. O. Davis, of j Pleasant Mills.

What Is An “Independent?’ THE dictionary says:—An independent is one who exercises his own will or judgment without the guidance or control of others—whether in thought or some sphere of action. In discussing the petroleum industry, the press and the public use the term “independents” to designate the competitors of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The definition quoted exactly fits the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as it neither owes nor acknowledges allegiance to any man or organization. . This clearly defines the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as an ‘ independent.” The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is owned by 41,922 stockholders—not one of ’whom owns as much as 6% of the total stock. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is managed by a Board of Directors of ten men—every one of whom started in a comparatively humble capacity and earned his place on the Board by sheer ability. These men devote their entire time to the business of this Company. While the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) neither owes nor acknowledges allegiance to any man or organization, it is proud to acknowledge its obligation— First—to its stockholders who have invested their capital in the enterprise. Second—to 27,000 loyal, earnest, hard-working employes, 10,000 of whom also are stockholders. Third—to the 30,000,000 people in the ten Middle Western states who have come to look upon this Company as a leader in a highly specialized branch of essential industry. Fourth—to those of our competitors who, with the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are striving to make the oil business useful to all the people. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) tries earnestly at all times to discharge its obligation to these four groups in such a highly satisfactory manner as to reflect credit not only upon itself but upon the industry as a whole.
