we ctntulply congratulate him on the deserved honor which comes to him ami wish him the great success we feel sure will come with his effort and ability. The klan held a meeting at Fort Wayne Saturday afternoon and evening. News stories given to the United Press and Associated Press predicted* u crowd <>l‘ 100,000 and said preparations were being made to care for Uuit number. The Fort Wayne paper* say the crowd at the afternoon meeting numbered ten thousand, sight see-ers adding to that number for the parade and night meetings. The appearance of H. W. Evans, head of the national order an*l the announcement he would discuss the recent Coburn murder added interest to the pccasion but the sensational statements expected did not materialize. With nearly four hundred members and indications that the list will increase steadily to five hundred, the largest in the city, the Loyal Order of Moose have an opportunity to do great good for the community. They are founded on the principal of “one for all and all for one” and with so great an institution as Mooseheart where nearly 1,200 children are being reared and educated and made splendid citizens, they can well be proud of the work they are doing. They are also developing a wonderful plan for their home for aged people and in each department of the lodge, going big. We congratulate the officials of Adams lodge. 1311. and bespeak for their order a continued growth and good. In the churches here and elsewhere over this nation yesterday Armistice day wgs observed by appropriate services and sermons. It is admitted that this nation must act if the World War was not fought in vain. It is not to honor Wilson or any other man, any class of men or political party but it's a question now of whether we entered the war for an ideal or for petty reasons. It is five years since — C"" *"-J L

It may be too lata now to enter the conference but it Is not too late to think clean and to t pray for a peace conference from . which will come a treaty that will . foreyer end war. Various preachers . said so yesterday, including the Rev. I Karl Naftzger who is conducting a > series of evangelistic meetings at the t Methodist church here and who gave , his actual experiences in the war at i a meeting held yesterday afternoon ; and attended by hundreds. His ad- ; dress was able and he told the plain truth as he sees it and as millions ■ see it if they have the courage to . speak out. "There does not seem to be any hope that the state debt will be reduced in the current fiscal year which ends September 30, 1924. The state tax board forecasts it as $3,622,614 at that time. It may be even for when that estimate was made the debt was $3,380,000 and it is now ahead of what was expected almost a year hence. Since 1919, when the full valuation plan was adopted in assessing property, state taxes have increased from IS cents to 30 cents on the SIOO. or 66 2-3 per cent. In the last fiscal year of Governor Marshall’s administration, state expenditures amounted to $8,222,415.86; in Governor Ralston's administration. $11,546,637.13; in Governor Goodrich's, $16,749,698.74, and in the third year of the present administration the total is $30,483,928.94. The state, three years ago, was out of debt. Even allowing for increased expenditures for good roads, it is still evident that money is being spent too lavishly. Worse yet. the state is not living within its largely increased revenue." —Indianapolis News.

: ALFALFA CROP : BEATS CLOVER a ‘ County Agent Says It Withstands Winter Better and Gives Three Crops. * (By County Agent L. M. Kusche) That the agricultural extension de- ■' partment at Purdue has been "on the 1 right track" in recommending that 1 farmers sow alfalfa hus certainly been • borne .out in Adams county during i the past two seasons when alfalfa , has in practically every care with- ( stood the dry weather better than /clover. It was especially noted that during the latter part of the summer of 1922. when most of lhe county r suffered severe drought, lhe only . green thing to be seen in the fields . was alfalfa. The reason for this is readily seen when one stops to conl sider the difference in tbe root systems of clover and alfalfa. Whereas 1 red clover forms a mass of roots i within a few inches of the surface ; of the ground, alfalfa seeks lower levels, average roots being several feet in length. These deep roots hold no fear of a little dry weather. The Grimm alfalfa which Purdue Is recommending farmers use is grown i in Idaho, under arid conditions, so it is especially resistant to dry conditions. In many cases a small field of alfalfa has served as the entire haycrop the past season. Also those farmers who are feeding alfalfa find it is the best hay they have used for any kind of livestock. As one instance of the good qualities of alfalfa: On the E. W. Dailey farm in St. Marys township .a ten acre field of alfalfa will be found which was seeded in the spring of 1922. Mr. Dailey states 7% pounds each of red clover and alfalfa were seeded to the acre. At present but very little red clover can be found, it [having disappeared last winter, leaving a good stand of alfalfa. Incident ly, this fielil furnished practically all the hay crop harvested by Mr. Dailey this year. Numerous other instances can be sighted where alfalfa has withstood the winter better than red clover. At the present time, when many farmers are complaining about the poor stands of red clover obtained this year, failures of Grimm sown last spring are hard to find. Obesrvation points out. however that some of these al salsa fields will be in bad candition next spring, caused by late pasturing this fall. The surest way _Jo kill alfalfa is to pasture it late in the fall. At present, hay prices, when around S2O per ton is being offered for alfalfa, it seems it is not exactly a bad investment to have a patch of this dry-weather crop on the way. o Methodists Continue Cottage Prayer Meetings Cottage prayer meetings in connection with the Methodist Revival will be held in various parts of the city, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings at 9:30.

Good-Will QHAKESPEARE appraised good-will at O its true value when he said: a “Who steals my purse steals tushtis something, nothing; Twas mine,’tis his, and has been slave to thousands; But he that filches f rom me my good na m « Robs me of that which not enndfes£ And makes me poor indeed” m Oil t & i «nd h &^ theS Good-will is prized more highly by the Management of this Company than anv other factor or element in the business. Good will is born'of confidence. Confidence is the inevitable result of abilitv to serve-proved over long periods of time. In short, good will is the child of Service, The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) lons ago became convinced that when service is rendered to the public, profits follow-as surely as night follows day. 38 The more whole-souled, the more energetic, the more enthusiastic the service the greater the profits. Service is interpreted in the Standard Oil „ Company (Indiana) to mean something more than the perfunctory delivery of petroleum products. It means going to any lengths to get Standard Oil products to the consumer, wher* ever he may be, in such quantities as may be desired—whether in thousand gallon lots or five gallon lots. It means the highest standard of quality in manufacture and the maintenance of this standard at all times. It means exerting every atom of facilities at the Company’s command, to discover and develop new products from crude petroleum that will add to the comforts and refinements of life. • z It is this enthusiastic spirit of intensive service—plus the every day practice of the principles of equity, fairness and justicemanifest at every point of contact between the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and the public—that has gained for this Company the good will, respect and esteem of the thirty million people of the Middle West.
