smmi ■ ■■ !■ ■■■m—— ir-TTITIB |-||UlM_mi As Others See Us IN ITS isstle of March 5, the Gazette, of Hutchinson, Kansas, says: “THE BRIGHT SIDE j The Standard Oil Company gets into print often but k never on account of trouble with its employes. Arthur Brisbane says the company is the best managed busi- • ness organization in the world. The entire oil business has been singularly free from labor troubles which have beset many of the other major industries. Reasons for this can be found in the fact of the rapid growth of the industry, the payment of relatively high wages and the shifting of producing and refining centers. The oil companies, however, have not been content to allow harmony to rest entirely with conditions. Efforts have been made, in the Standard and other * companies, to obtain the greatest harmony possible among the workers. The Standard of Indiana was a pioneer in fostering a policy granting employes, through their elected representatives, a voice in settlement of all questions affecting their welfare, as to wages, hours of labor and working conditions. How the plan is working is expressed by Colonel Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the board of directors, who says: . The greatest thing needed in American industry today is a better understanding between employes and management. The day of intolerant and drastic methods by either the leaders of capital or labor is past. Each needs the other, and the policy of establishing good-will, peace and understanding have been established between the management and employes of our company. "For five years we have worked together in mutual esteem and trust. For the board of directors, I say to you that while the problems presented by the situation in the oil industry today are stupendous, we face them with a greater confidence because we feel that we have back of us the whole-hearted support of every man and woman in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana).* The oil business has its virtues as well as its foibles, <f conducted properly." The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been relatively free from labor troubles because justice, equity and fairness are fundamental to the organization. Without loyalty, earnestness and complete harmony in its organization of 27,000 men and women, this Company would be unable . to render to the thirty million people of the Middle West, the comprehensive service which they now enjoy and which is so essential to their commercial and domestic life.

reception for i MONROE PASTOR Members Os The Methodist Church Welcome Return Os Rev. S. I. Zechiel Monroe, April 15. —(Special to Daily Democrat)—Members of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Monroe gave a reception to their pastor ami wife, Rev. and Mrs. S. I. Zechiel upon their return to them for the fourth year, Saturday. The affair was planned by the Ladies’ Aid society and when it was learned that the pastor had a birthday anniversary on April 12, the date for the reception was etsily decided. The committee on program with Mr:. Pull Heffner is chairman, tastily decorated ti.e pa:sonage with Easter colors, lemon yellow and baby blue, and cut flowers and potted plants. The Sunday School orchestra rendered splendid music during the evening. At nine o’clock the pastor was presented with two and a half dozen carnal ions and an angel food coke, measuring 11 by 18 inches, which he skillfully cut into 84 pieces. The cake was baked by Mrs. C. I. Aurand, wife of the president of the Epworth League. As the pastor lighted the candles he called to his assistance Mr. Phil Heffner, who also had a birthday anniversary the same day, and also had a cake presented to him. While Mrs. Frances Watkins presided at the piano, the guests formed a birthday march and each received a piece of the delicious cakes. Light refreshments were also served. The pastor divided his carnations with all those who had a birthday in April. Mrs. E. M Busche, president of the Ladies’ Aid society, in a very compliments address, presented the J pastor with a fine silk umbrella, to ' which he responded with words of appreciation for the kindness and 1 love that had been shown to them during the previous years and the I many kind words of greeting upon hi; return to them.

States and hospital .'cart- each year, according to an an i n< iincement made yesterday by Dr. ■ M F. Steele, superintendent of the 1 Methodist Hospital in Fort Wayne, t in calling attention to the early ap•i putsch of National Hospital day. May •12. Thia same proportion of prosper- ’ five hospital patients exists in Fort i Wayne. but for various reasons every I p< rson who should receive scientific I care the hospital affords does not get >it The greatest reason that hospital service is not rendered every one who meds it is that there is a tremendous shortage of hospital facilities, in the United States especially. Com munitirs which have up-to-date hospitals certainly are to be congratulated us may readily be seen from the statement that more than half of the counties in the United States have no hospitals. This very fact proves why existing hospitals as a rule are overcrowded, and why In the United Slates alone last year more than $450,000,000 was spent for hospital construction. Nut lona I Hospital Day which is the "< otne in and get acquainted day" of the thousands of hospitals of the I tilted States and Canada has awakened remarkable Interest in the great work of these institutions of mercy. Presidents and other national leaders heads of states and provinces, may ora. and influential men and women of all classes are cooperating In helping the hospital to tell their communities of their service, and it Is no wonder that although the idea of a National Hospital Day was organised only as late as 1821. the movement is generally observed throughout the United States and Canada, and has aroused Interest of progressive hospitals In Alaska. China. Egypt, Hawaii and In other parts of the world. 4 The Methodist Hospital Is going to have a special program May 12. and wants every one Interested In the health and welfare of the community to come. There will he no donations, and there will be much of interest and entertainment. Souvenirs, such as buttons, flowers, informative leaflets. will be distributed and there will he a musical program. -CONTACT” CAMPS TO BE HELD AT CULVER i United Press Htaff CorresponUrut i Culver, Ind..
