Have you*secured your 1925 auto license and new number plates? February 15th was the dead-line and if caught operating your car without the new number plates you will be liable to a tine. You have two weeks in which to renew your Daily Democrat if you take it by mail and are in arrears. We are trying to clean up on the ; nnual campaign for renewals this month and we are hoping it will not be necessary to drop a single one of our family of 3,500 subscribers. With a budget of only $46,000,000 for the next two years to run the government and operate the state in sfitntions, talk is already being heard that practically every institution in | the state will suffer from want oi l money. If they can't operate 11. I state on forty-six million dollar.- I there is no use trying to do it with sixty or eighty millions. Where are | all these pledges of economy? Floyd Collins is .still confined in I tlie Sand Cave in Kentucky. The re; cue work is still going on, but the I headway is slow, from all appearance . and the unfortunate man may be dead before help reaches hint. If' death does not result from starve Hon, the exposure may bring on the | fatal sickness and the country i ' anxiously awaiting the outcome, hop . ing that he wins. Valentine day may have passed tin noticed by many last Saturday, Ini: for Congressman ami Mrs. Nichol > Longworth flic arrival of a line girl baby is about the best Valentine the; could have received. Mrs. Longworth before her marriage was Miss Alice Roosevelt, a White House bride and : already the society columns are referring to the new babe as "Princess Alice.” Anyway they have our con gratuiations. Bluffton will build a new city hall and community building, if the bill recently introduced by Senator George Saunders passes as it very probably will. The idea is an excellent one for any community and Senator Saunders notified iif Saturday even im- that he would amend his bill Io im Ind'- towns of less than 5,099 under the lU2U census. This will make it poc. ible for Decatur to use any stir plus which may accrue in the electric or water department funds for the purpose of providing a real city build lug. It's worth seriously considering any way. • The I'tiitg weather is arriving early and with it the desire to clean bouse and fix up. Last year nearly every store front was painted and ninny improvements were marie. This year we have (lie advantage of a number of new store fronts which brighten the down town district and w hich should Inspire every inert haul Io lix up (he appearance of his place id’ hu mess ait much as possible, tic:- are ,k lew old awnings which : iiould he and replaced with modem ones and there are man; oilier things which will help out.

These are thing rhrnh count.

They spent $15,(Hip,<’oo,9oo of it for food. $8,000.900,000 for clothing. $3.590,0011,000 lor itutoniobilcs, the same amoulit for ; tobacco, candy and soft drinks, and I in jewelry and music stores. Americans spend twice as ! much for jewelry, perfumery and | cosmetics as they do»for their public . i schools, and ten times as much for this same group of luxuries as they! do lot the support of religious activ- 1 Hies. They spend more for ice cream | Ilian for books ami religious work combined. The average annual Ant-1 eiican per capita expenditure for pickles is $1.30 cents, which is exact ly one cent more titan the average annual expenditure for religious work. Americans pay out as much for near beer in one week as they pay out in professors' salaries during the whole, year. Tin- country's out lay for tile necessities of life is satisfactory. It reflects the prosperity and tomfort of their chest and most happily governed country in history. But tn the luxury column the people in the mass are revealed as indulging I heir vanity and casual appetites at the expense of their moral ami intellectual development. A country that spends Ijvicc as much for diamonds as for church maintenance is surely making a child’s use of its material prosperity. , 0 ——-— «««-****«««***4 ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ From th, Dally Demoorat fllaa ♦ ♦ 20 years ago thia da/ ♦ *«««**»*•*«*•* Feb.. 16 —Berne Hay and Grain warehouse destroyed by fire with a . 1 Io;,3 of $2,509.

We are so accustomed to this state of affairs that we take it for granted. But this amazing development of modern times didn’t just happen. It was achieved. It w’as achieved in most part by men who thought of their job as aservice—by men who were so obsessed by the idea of achievement —of progress—that they could not help but concentrate all the forces of their mind on wresting new secrets from Nature— creating new wealth — inventing new ways of doing things, or new methods of doing old things better. z The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been and is an important factor in bringing about the universal employment of the motor car, thus adding to the business efficiency, bettering the health.and increasingthe contentmentofall. The enterprise and thrift of this Company, energized by the earnest desire to serve, has brought petroleum products within the reach of everyone. It was thinking of the job, rather than the pay; of the service, rather than the profit —which inspired membersofthisorganizationtodevelop that long list of advanced refining and marketing methods which have exerted such a profound influence upon the petroleum industry. It was planning for service to millions, which led to the establishment of gasoline storage depots, tank wagon routes, and sendee stations—throughout the Middle West. If you would see this ideal of service in operation, note when you drive into a Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service station the willingness, zeal and efficiency of the man who fills your gasoline tank or drains your crankcase. That man is not “on show”. He is just one of thousands who have acquired the habit oj thinking of his job as a service.
