A Constructive Force FROM the day when its first refinery was opened, it has been the earnest endeavor of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to be a constructive force in the industrial life of the nation. With all modesty we say — frankly, sincerely, and with profound conviction—that this organization has been such a force. When this Company was organized, only a few products were taken from crude oil. Today, hundreds of products—useful, convenient, imperatively needed by the public at large —are taken from this single base. This industrial husbandry, redounding to the material benefit of mankind, is eloquent in demonstrating the kind of work which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been doing year after year. This Company always has been a leader. The advanced work it has done in research, discovery, technical application, development and manufacturing, has added much to the wealth of the world. Hundreds of industries have improved their manufacturing processes and largely increased their productiveness because of the advanced work this Company has done—and such improvement has enabled the manufacturer to sell his products at a lower price than would have been possible otherwise. Because of the Company’s advanced thinking, planning and preparation the price of petroleum products generally has been kept within reasonable bounds in the face of a demand which is unprecedented in history. Every factor in this great organization is carefully attuned to the constructive ideals of conservation, equity, fairness and justice, which in turn have operated in a comprehensive way to the distinct and material advantage of the thirty million people living in the Middle Western States.

■■ —— " 1 1 ■ 1 How Can The Average Man Get Ahead True Stories Os Wage Earners And Salaried Men And Women Who Have Found The Road to Financial Independence (By Samuel O. Rica, Educational Director Investment Bunkers Association of America) — - - -

In n smnil Illinois city there is an < elderly couple living In contented I comfort in their own homo, with their i own car, a good one, and with tlie i satisfaction of having put their only 11 son through the University of Michigan and given him a good start in life. In the same town is an ex- ' pensive factory, built from stock subscriptions of the town's residents, and idle and gathering dust almost from the dny it was finished. i The maximum salary of the elderly head of this little family has never been more than $125 a month, but from his first earnings he has saved a little and has put every cent into farm mortgages, at first; later, into bonds. His investment holdings have yielded an average of 5% per sent. That is the source of his position of ease and comfort and his ability to give his son a good education. When stock promoters came to that town, to bring it a great new factory and all his neighbors went wild to buy stock, this man stayed out. It was true he said, the that line of industry these men said they represent ed had made huge fortunes but it had been done in plants built and manag-

November Is Open Season for Hunters “Open season!” These words stand for a world of joy to every sportsman—and now it is open season on almost every kind of game, in uplands and lowlands, marsh and covert, sportsmen are enjoying the thrill of the hunt. Wherever there is game, furred or feathered, there are gunners winning fun and heightened health from the oldest, and according to them, the greatest sport. The Indians called September the “Hunters' Moon.” but it is Novem her to which hunters now look forward most eagerly the whole year 'round. Those who themselves cannot go on long hunting trips are envying their more fortunate fellows who can —and there are but few red-blooded, two-fisted men who are not managing somehow to squeeze at least several days’ shooting into their month's activities. The old hunting instinct may lie > dormant the rest of the year. But there is something in these crisp, cool days that forces it wide-awake. As Kipling puts it, sportsmen hear “the red gods call.” Whether for wildfowl or the winged or four-footed dwellers in the woods or fields, everybody’s going hunting. And —“ 'Ain't it a grand and glorious feeling?” No "fly in the ointment" as earlier in the year! No swarms of black flies or mosquitoes or even gnats to disturb your peace or take the edge off your pleasure! Ask men why they go hunting! They'll give you many reason. Some —prosperous business or professional men, probably—will tell you that there's no better preparation for the winter’s work than some time spent in the open matching their quickness and wits against those of the game they're hunting. They’ll say there's

od by men who were experts in the Industry and who did not have time to go out organizing new companies for the benefit of strangers in strange towns. It looked to him as if thes'’ persuasive stock sellers were noth'ng but stock sellers and not men expcrl enced in the industry. His judgment was correct, The promoters put up an expensive fnc tory. They could afford to. The) didn't spend their own money. More over they kept back for promotion expenses a large and handsome sunt that paid them well. The law could not touch them; they were too shrewd They let the stockholders take the idle factory—the stockholders still have It and it's still idle. Hut th* neighbors have changed their minds about the financial judgment of tlu elderly man who was content with 5% per cent and safety. Good stocks in enterprises backed by honest ex pe-ienced men make good investments Hut stocks promoted by inexperienced althought honest, men or b) shady promoters are dangerous. t< say the least. Know that the man frr m whom you buy securities is bon est and experienced.

no pep-producer that can compare with the dear air of a brisk fall day redolent with the tang of the forest or the salt of the bay—that hunting is a real efficiency measure. To . bring home a good bag, a man must be on the alert! Others will declare that now the co intry and the woods are at the he'ght of their beauty. Many of the 1 tries are still gorgeous in their russet, scarlet and gold panoply of autumn foilage. The landscape on every side presents a panorama in which they delight. Still others prize most highly—beside the never-to-be-forgotten thrill of hunting—a pleasure of a more material kind; appetizing dishes that are fit for a king; venison, roast duck, quail on toast, stuffed goose, broiled partridge or grouse, rabbit or squir- ’ rel pot-pie—yum-yum!! ' There are most as many reasons ' git en for going hunting as there are 1 hunters, but all agree on one thing: not to go hunting in November is to ' miss a barrel of fun, to pass up a big part of the joy o' life. For a sportsman can enjoy no happier time than 'a < lear, snappy November day tramp ing the fields behind a pair of good ' dogs in quest of quail—unless it be going gunning through the brush for grouse or rabbit or the swamp for snipe—especially Jack snipe with that perplexing “cork screw flight,” that so often saves them for another day's sport —or waiting in the blind for ’ geese or duck that are wary and flying high. ’ Wildfowl are flying south—and test1 ing the markmanship of the most experienced gunners. “Br'er Rabbit's'' trail leads to real sport. Bob Whites, grouse and their families are apt to whir up from your feet most any1 wl.ere out of town. Game is plenti--1 ful. Sportsmen’s supplies are in gr -at demand, according to local 1 merchants. We have seen many new ’ ideas in the way of sportsmen’s equipment. Specially noteworthy—- ’ so say several sportsmen we have interviewed recently—are the shotgun

shells that are the latest work in specialization and standardization They are loaded—we are told —to a predetermined standard of pattern, penetration and velocity that makes ’em sure to pull down the game. All in all, it’s a most successful season! “Good hunting, brother!” MAY RECOVER LAND Lawyer Says 600,000 Acres of School Land Is Due State of Indiana. Indianapolis, Oct. 29. —Indiana has been offered a chance to obtain a little lucre without the usually necessary raise in the tax levy. At a recent meeting of the state board of finance, Harry E. Helwig, representing a Washington, D. C. firm of lawyers, presented a plan whereby Indiana might recover about 600,000 acres of school land which Helwig told the board he is sure are due the state. According to the plan, legislation would be sought by which the state would receiving a parcel of unclaimed western land. The land, could then be sold to the state in which it is situated. o CARE OF FILES While the file is an inexpensive tool it should have proper care in order to permit it to give satisfactory service. One of the most destructive

customs* |g that of throwing files, fine and coarne, large and small, into a drawer filled with cold chisels, hamnier/t and other tools, and then throwing on the files. This sort of stoqnge has a tendency to chip and dull the teeth, in fact, it requires but a Might knocking upon e. nard surface to dull them for many kinds of work. They should be stored In racks so arranged that the teeth cannot touch one another. —Automobile Digest. o— NO GOAT IN BIC. SERIES 1923 World Baseball Series Did Not Have An Outstanding Goat. By HENRY L. FARRELL) (United Press Sports Editor) New York. Oct. 29. (United Press) —Rather strange to say, after recalling the list of unfortunates who won the unenvied title in the past, there was no outstanding goat of the 1923 world's series. As there was no one player who stood out above all others by the brilliance of what he did, there also was no individual who could be pointed out for what he didn't do. Babe Ruth had the most narrow escape from being elected to the order of Snodgrass, Zimmerman and others who will be known always for their bones in the world's series. Only fate itself, as represented in the bat of Bob Meusel, prevented Ruth, the bust of 1921 and 1922, from becoming the champion goat of 1923. Ruth was well on his way to ignominy when he fanned out in the eighth inning of the last game of the series with the bases filled and two runs needed to win the game. His two home runs that won one game and his third homer that inspired the Yanks in the first inning of the last game would have been forgotten by his feat in duplicating the bust of the great Casey when the cards had been dealt out for him to become the greatest of all world's series heroes. Ruth's failure to deliver at the most critical time in his career was forgotten when Bob Meussel lashed out a smashing single and won the game. Even though he had failed terribly in the pinch, Ruth could not be called a goat justly, when his team had won the game. Just suppose that Ruth’s fan out in the pinch had lost the game for the Yanks and the Giants had won the series in the seventh and deciding game that would have been necessarj to settle the championship. You have an idea, bringing this picture to mind
