Phone 11 — ■UJirtEMirT.—u tiwwi Capital’s Service ToThe Consumer Says James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, "No matter who owns the capital, capital works for everybody. The oil companies own the gasoline, but they have to tote it to the roadside where everyone can get it. Equal division is the gcal that capitalism constantly approaches. No man wants all the gasoline. He wants six gallons at a time with a service station every tew miles. Capitalism performs this service for him. Under ‘capitalism’, so-called, wealth is more equally divided than under any other system ever known. - ’ The so-called “capitalists” who control the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are 46,016 stockholders, the majority of them small investors who earned and saved the money to buy stock. This capital, because it is brought together in a large aggregate is able to serve the community more effectively than if it were divided up and parceled out into 46,016 separate holdings. In 1923 this capital brought millions of barrels of crude petroleum from the oil fields, so that during 1924 the 4 K million automobiles of the Middle West may be supplied with gasoline and oils. This capital has erected large, modem, scientifically equipped refineries, in which to apply the most efficient cracking processes, so that the maximum amount of gasoline may be produced from the crude oil This capital has built up a distribution system, with storage depots and sendee .stations strategic points, throughout the Middle \»est. By means of this enormous and complete distribution system, petroleum products aie delivered to the ultimate consumer with the utmost economy, and the motorist who needs but one Sllon at a time receives as efficient service as e manufacturer uhobr.yst!; “ii-andsof gallons. Without capital the oil would stay in the ground, or at beit would serve but a few people adjacent to the oil fields. By serving the thirty million people of the Middle West with petroleum products, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) makes it possible for you, wherever you may live, to enjoy °* the petroleum wealth of the United states. Without the employment of the capital of the stockholders of this Company this would not be possible. Under efficient management of a highly ex perienerd Board of Directors, the capital of the 46,016 stockholders of this fnmnany is working night and day for the service of the community.

SCHOOL PUPIL S TEST SEED CORN Jefferson Township Pupils Find Wide Variation hi Growing Ability * Following n suggestion rondo by - Principal Glenn, of the Jefferson “ Township (onsoildal -i| school, about 35 or 40 boys and girls brought seed corn to the school some time ago to be tested in the large 2240 ear, tester recently installed in the school building. The tester is the modified rag doll type, said by j»urdue men to be the best type now in pse, and was built under the supervision of Mr. Glenn. Its capacity of 20 to 25 bushels each week if run to full Capacity, enables the testing of a great amount of corn. , The test was “read" Friday, Amos Ketchum and Virgil Wagner, teachers in the school being in charge. Amounts of corn varying from 10 ears to more than 1 bushel were tested by the pupils, records being made out for individual ears. Results Os The Test That farmers fail to realize the seriousness of the seed corn situation this spring was evidenced here by the results of some of the records of the test. Percentages of germination ranged from practically zero to nearly one hundred per <--nt, but it is thought the percentage of strong ears was not over fifty per cent. One specific instance was cited In which only one kernel out of fifty, taken from a number of ears grew. In practically every case where a good test was recorded it was found the corn had been sele< ted early and placed where it would dry out well before cold weather. Farmers who practice early field' selection and proper <*ar<- of seed corn feel well repaid for having done the extra work involved. Those who are now engaged in hunting seed corn are In many instances forced to take weak germinating, late, too small or otherwise undersiralde com which should not be used for seed. In view of the great uncertainty of seed corn this year it behooves every farmer to "test every ear.” The use to which the Jefferson township school was put in this case could well be carried out in other schools of the county, thus :u*complishing work which the ordinary farmer cannot carry out satisfactory except with considerable expense. In most schools where vocational agriculture is taught, a large part of the late winter and spring is used In testing corn. This work could be done here, however, even thought there are no vocational agricultural schools in the county.
