The concentration of ill-luck came so quickly at Chicago yesterday that tlie results almost stunned the boosters here. We had it but it slipped away. For some reason or another it seems it just hud to come out that way. All right. Legislature is over and tne basketball season has concluded, each furnishing all the thrills for which we hunger. Now how about a little business like cleaning up and beautifying the city, securing a new industry or two. building a few houses am. putting Decatur on lite map it? a substantial way? There are a io of tilings we can do if we haven't ex hausted all our pep and we don't tliinl we have. Floods are adding to the discomfort of those living in the southern Indi ana area recently visited by the dis asttous cyclone and it is said the suffering there is undescribable. if there was ever a cause which deserved you; co-operation in the way of gifts ocash ami clothing, and there have been, iq is this one. The fund hen is growing slowly and we fear that our people, busy with their own as fairs do not realize the need for help We have been asked to remind thi owners of dogs that there is an ord itiancc against permitting I hem t< run al will over the city, it is par tiiuhirly requested that female dogs bi’ kept al home and the officers will bo asked to enforce the ordinance Other nearby cities are providing pounds for the strays, a good thing as garden making time approaches Everyone likes a dug but they want him in his proper place which is not roaming tWc, streets at will.

some sober thoughts The state can come, and with authority. Arrest your boy, destro* his liberty; I’ut handcuffs on him; lock him up in jail; (Deaf to his mother's hrokeu-heart-ed wail;) Try him in open court; assess a fine; Imprison him for life. - to waste and pine; May hang him by the neck 'till he is dead; And so heap shame and sorrowon your head. All this, forsooth, if he should break the laws Taught in the ten commandments. Hear his cause; Ought not the state, with power to penalize, First, be required to teach him to be wise? , To teach, through plastic years of early youth, ' Those same commandements from the Book of Truth, For, as the boy. in mind and heart the man, Like seed, like harvest,-- so the precepts ran. The Biffle is our basic book of law From it all Christian lauds their ideals draw. To lose, or trample them beneath oyr feet. Means condemnation at the judgement seat, To keep them, makes both men and nations great, What, so determines all our after fate, What makes for safely and less costly rule,The Bible, - should be aught in every public school. o — !Big Features Os / RADIO Programs Today ) Monday's Five Best Radio Features WLW.

Coach ('outer's men led 7-2 al tlie half, 11-5 at the end of the third quarter and 11-9 with only twelve seconds to play, when Kearney, St. Mid center, tipped in a field goal which tied the score. Decatur suffered a severe idow when “Tubby” Gass, sterling back guard, sprained an ankle when four minutes of the regular playing time was left to be played. He was forced to leave the game aud his loss disrupted the team to a great extent, although Art Voglewede. who took bis place, fought gallantly and did a splendid job of guarding. Decatur look ibe lead iu the tlrsl quarter when "Mongo" Meyers caged two points from the free throw line. Christen scored a free throw, also. The quarter ended with the score islanding 3-0. At the start of the second quarter. Christen sank a long field goal and Meyers flashed under the net for a short short which rang up two more points, sending the score sto 7-0. St. Mel did uol score until the first half was almost over, when Cuuuinghatn dropped in a long shot, sending the scare to 7-2 at t?ie end of the half. Decatur Holds Lead St. Mel fought back at the stjit of the second half, but Decatur managed to hold the advantage. Meyers again flashed under the backet, for a field goal, but Kearney scored a field goal'for St. Mel.

Neither could score during the first tour huinutes of the last quart-

The sub- . slltute giwrd fouled Leahy and the latter made good from the (ree throw hue. un the next piiys Leahy grabbed the tip off and -’auk a field goal after dribblug down the side of the floor. The crowd went wild and the playliii speeded up Cunninitbam dropped in a loug ahol. making the score stand 11-9, Decatur still leading. The ,iwo teams sped up and down the floor I until only 11 seconds were left to play. A St. Mel played took a long I shot at the basket which missed, but Kearney followed iu and tipped the hall into the net, tying the score at H-H. Decatur took time out and planned an attack for the last ten seconds. The locals rushed lhe Chi cago toaiu when play was resumed, but were unable to score. Coach Center also sent Wemboff in ,4or Holthouse, who was tiring, iu hopes that a fresh player would aid in repulsing the St, Mel attack. Gass was sent back into the game after his ankle had been bandaged, but it pained him so badly that he could not put forth his best efforts. St. Mel Scores In Overtime During the first minute of the overtime period, Kearney, the star St. Mel center, took a pass from a leammaie aud sent the ball through the net from near the middle of the floor, for the two-points which proved to be ail that the Chicagoans needed to win. The St. Mel team stalled during the remainder of the overtime period, while the Decatur players fought gamely to get possession of the ball aud a shot at the basket which might result iu precious points, but try as they did, they could not score. The fans were worked up to a high pitch of excitement when lhe final gun cracked. When the word wqs flashed back to IH’iMtur ibai St. Mel had won, |<><-al fans could hardly believe it. since Coach Confer s men had held a lead of 11-5. with only four minutes to ‘play.

Aquinas representing the east, proved too much for the Giants from Decatur, representing the mid west and when the final gun was fired the Hoosier quintet had the little eml of the 22 aml IS score. Gass was unable to cuter the game at. all for Decatur, but their defense was not so greatly weakened for. A. Voglewefle. who substituted for him gave a line account of himself. , It was a repetition of the afternoon's defeat for Decatur. They jumped into the lead at the start aud held the advantage most of the route only to lose out in the cud. Christen started them off with a free throw.

Not only has the number increased, but the average number of shares per stockholder has greatly decreased —namely, from 140.1 shares per holder in 1900 to 49.7 in 192.). “Security purchases by wage earners would not have come so soon or so rapidly, were it not for the wise policy of some of tne greatest American corporations in offering shares to their employes on easy and attractive terms.” : What is true of industry generally is true of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) specifically. In 1919 there were 4,6?3 stockholders, m there are 49,804 stockholders. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been a pioneer in offering shares of the Company s stock to its workers. It believes that the real solution of the most serious problems confronting capital and labor is found by encouraging labor to acquire a substantial capital interest in the enterprise. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) long ago offered its employes participation in the rewarus which this Company has drawn from service to society. It makes it possible for an employe to purchase shares of stock in the Company on attractive terms. The system provides that for eacn r dollar invested by the worker, fifty cents is given to him by the Company —so that if an employe buys ten shares, he really acquires 15 shares. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) porated the idea of employe ownership of stoc.. ithe Company to encourage' thrift in the organ; ization, and to render the public a larger an more effective service. Employe ownership means smoother between workers and and tn. in turn means added value to the consumer i the way of better service and more economica production.
