Speeding Up Production The Standard Oil Company (Indiana)consider! it a major part of its duty to help increase production in every line of activity. • The factories, farms and workshops of the Middle West function more effectively and more regularly because of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) products and service. This means steady employment for labor — low production costs for manufacturers and farmers — more goods at lower prices for everybody. Petroleum products are basic essentials — they are at the root of industrial prosperity; for petroleum in some form enters into every civilized activity. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) inspired by the will to serve, organized its efforts in the oil business along certain well-defined lines, with the * determination to extend production of petroleum products on a vast scale, in the expectation (since fulfilled) of reducing production costs. ■ The first plank in the Company s platform is an independent directorate, composed of oil men experienced in every phase of the oil business. The second plank is to lower production costs by utilizing modern science and by employing trained expens to devise new efficiency methods. This practice has made the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) a leader in the industry. The third plank is the development of a comprehensive system of distribution. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) petroleum products are delivered to the smallest as well as to the largest consumers with promptness and with dependable regularity. The fourth plank is to make every product manufactured and sold by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) measure up to the highest standards of quality and be absolutely uniform at all times. The fifth plank is to keep the price of its products as low as conditions will permit, depending upon a large volume of business to return a satisfactory profit. This highly specialized organization, committed to maximum service, lends to every other industry, from the manufacture of automobiles to the manufacture of shoes, bricks, buttons, or flour, the facilities to produce faster and cheaper This is a direct contribution to national prosperity and constitutes a record of achievements of which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud.

"MANDY” HINTERS TO GET MOKE FOR MONEY Indianapons, Ind.. Jan. 28 —Because ! hunters through purchiye of a dollar permitting a year's shoot in t provide 7# I»r cent of the divison's revenue ami we are desirous of giving them a greater return .for their money, steps will soon be taken fer purchasing games reserves, Georg» I N. Mannfeld, chief of the fish bn.l game division of the state conservation department, said today. Select ions naturally will be made in the most isolated and more densely portions, and acquired as funds permit. Mannfeld said that so far hunters of tpe state have receive c|)ief dire< t return through an abundance of game directly duo to strict law enforcement by the warden service. He points out that it is Impractical for i state to attempt to reproduce wild life other than by law enforcement which permits natural reproduction in closed seasons. On the contrary millions of small fish are propaga’ed by the department annually at small cost and used for stocking public waters. Gam* birds may be i purchased at $8 00 a pair but it Is I poor economics to do so and then I have them shot on the basis of a dollar a year license. Games continues to increase annually in Indiana as a direct result*%f an efficient warden service. Conservation officials believe that JL the d epartment acquired waste areas nt small cost they can be turned Into very profitable Kame reserves and It will only Is* a short time until they would bo well stocked through natural reproduction In th* closed hunting seasons. „ o ——• ■ Pennville Wins Jay County Net Tournament Fennville high school basketball team won the championship of Jay County in the tournament held at lortlnnd last Saturday, by defeating Dunkirk In the final game. This was the first defeat of the season for the ' Ihtnkrlk five, which had won sixteen straight games. Fennville hud little difficulty In putting Portland out of (the race In the first round, score 26-6, Portland was weakened, however, by the loss of Htrons, forward and Hiatt, back guard, who were unable to play on account Illness. Following are the scores of the tournament: Dunkrlk. 23; Poling. 10. • Bryant. 19. Redkey, .t Madison. 13; Gray. 6. Pennville. 26; Portland. 6. Dunkirk 26. Bryant 13.

Field Goals by “Eagle Eye” Pete It was lucky for the Yellow Jackets and the Union Center hopefuls that they weren't playing in their district tourney Saturday night. Both teams were off form. Nevertheless, we have chalked up the fifth consecutive win for 1). H. S. and wo still have some chalk. , Chicago gave Wisconsin a terribleshove on the Rig Ten championship ladder Saturday night, beating th« Badgers 35 to 18 and knocking them out of a tie for first place to a tie with the Maroons and Purdue for second place, it was Wisconsin’s first defeat in the Big Ten this season. Ixioks like Pennville was the big noise in Jay County which will stand between Decatur and the district championship. The Pennville five won the Jay county tourney at Portland Saturday night, le-ating Dunkrlk in the finals. That victory for Pennville spoiled a perfectly fine record for Dunkirk, I who had won sixteen straight. The higher they ar* the harder they fall.! I. . — Lets make it six and seven straight. Yellow Jackets, by lickin', Ossian and Ridge, Ohio. Friday and Saturday night. Looks like D. C. H. S. would chi Ik up another win Friday night at the expense of Monroeville. Didja see the D. H. S. girls in their new suits Saturday night? Some (lass, eh? I Walker, of Union Center, would be one of the best center's in this neck of the woods if he had better control of his temper. The big boy is a beautiful shot and works the floor well, but his mental attitude in a ■tame is not up to standard. Huntington and Bluff.on columnists

Proposed Catholic School Building | The campaign for the raising of j funds from among the members of the St. Mary's Catholic church eongregation, for the building of the proposed Catholic school on the foun-1 dation already installed at the corner of Fourth and Monroe streets, i opened today.

I year in being contributed by members of tiie congregation towards the school fund, but as this amount does not create a sufficient reserve to warrant building this year, a campaign for additional subscriptions or pledges under a three-year payment plan was proposed, and launched today. The congregation already has a neat, fund.

The above picture of the proposed building, taken from a drawing made by Architect Gaul, of Chicago, provides for a two story and ground floor basement building, a gymnas- ' iutn. auditorium, domestic science . room and other worthy improve- . ments, contained in the modern school building. The plans have been approved by the state board of health. The building will be fireproof. The soliciting teams in the different precincts and districts in the city and i in the rural sections were making the I canvas of members today.
