For more than an hour the streaks of electricity flatbed tock 'ini forth across the sky and every now and then touched so de win r> near.

ten or compiled The Christian religion will hold its own and will progress as a result of any attack, so why worry? The democratic leaders held a meeting at Indianapolis Saturday and discussed why and wherefores of the result of the last election and plans for the next one. They got down to brass tacks and declared it was time to call a spade a spade and to go to the public with plain facts and figures. If they can arrange to convey to the voting public of Indiana the real truth of the present Indiana administration they will clean out most of 'he offices in the state house next year. The meeting was well attended and much interest was manifested though every collar wilted down and the weather man gave evidence of being ’agin" us. Plans for several state meetings this fall were made and it looks as though the campaign next year will be a vigorous one from the democratic view point. Utility companies suffered a considerable loss here as the result of storms Saturday night and Sunday and they dared not wait for a cessation of the lightning and wind to start in. They worked straight through the storm. M J Mylott and bis city crew never stopped from nine o’clock Saturday night until noot today, but they kept the lines goinf in good hapc and this morning ever, pow.-r user got away on time because of the efforts of these men The telephone force were on the job almost distantly and the men thus employed 10l gn<>.| work that the public might b« served with the hast inconvenience. Wonder if we realize just how difficult a job this is during a storm and (or a day or two afterward. We complain a lot. Why not be just as fair when good work is done and say thank you to the men who do (he job and do it well in times like those. ■ vtH i".' tip you can sive. ■ •

THIS PAPER SERIES BY IRVIN COBB / i / :'2 \ .//jl The famous Irvin S. Cobb. In th* opinion of insny people the best story tel’er ot onr time, hsj complied * remarktbU »er»s of short, hiimomu. stories which he hss heard. They will appear under Mr. Cobb’s nime with the title. “My Favorite Stories.’ *nd are soon to begin in this paper Watch for them and read them, because you never encountered aueh a collection of funny stories la your life Speaking of anecdote*. Mr. Oobb says • Americans did not Invent or discover the short humorous story. Indeed, some short stories *ti!l »re making the rounds which were <'’d w hen the Pyramids were young. Probably the piper who piped before Mose* rounded out hfs act with one of the standard Jokes of the period—a joke which, dressed In new clothes, Is doing duty somewhere today. The mother-fn-Isw joke could not hare originated with Adam because Adam bad no mother-in-law. but I have not the slightest doubt that Cain began using It after h!s marriage. And beyond peradrenture Father Noah whled away many a dragging half-hour In the Ark by telling Shem, Ram and .Taphet the one which begins: ’ft seems there were two Irishmen named Pat and Mike. And Pat said to JLk*. Faith, an’ he Jabers!’— “So It would not do f"r ns to Isy clfiftn to the sole refiponslbUlty for the short humorous story. But I am quit* certain that we. more than any other people, have made It a part of out daily life. Americans of whitsoever 1 rank like to tell short stories and like to laugh at them. There a’e Short stories which sum np the character!*tics of white Americans, or black Americans. Jews or Ueetlles, city folk or country folk more completely than could ponderous essays or scholarly I expositions, ft is of record that J Abraham Lincoln, in the darkest flays of this Union, cured more than one crisis with some homely anecdote, some aptly barbed retort. "In thi* series I have written. I have sought to choose those short stories which hare made the greatest appeal ; to me. Some of them I beard years sg«: others no longer ago than yesterday. I have tried to repeat them In the form in which they were uttered In my presence. I hope the reader may enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed the work of compiling the collection."

Roberts, Vice President of the National City bank, in Nation’s Business for April, 1925, might have been writing pointedly of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) when he said: "The clamor for rificial regulatioa of bwinera arises primarily because m-ti do mt understand economic jofees There are few fines of business in whkh these forces will not protect the public. In normal times, it teldom happens that unueu*) profits are made, but that " competition quickly arises and corrtcts the situation. Onr economic progress has been accontplisbed order ar. indr'iduahstK system The theory of this system is that everyone shall have for fiis own. as nearly *s may be, that which results from his own efforts. Thi* inspires him to labor, to produce and to accumulate, bj (Sow sernres to the community which the community is willing topeyfor. He is inspired to labor by an ambition to achieve, to win distinction and to rvn-fcr sertma "The argument for widespread government ownership and regulation of the oil industry is based upon 'h* theory that the wealth employed in thisindustrybenefi's nobody bin. the owners This i« like claimine that the people who benefit most from the development of the steam engine are owners of steam engines; that the people who gain most from the railroads, are those h«v. tng investments m the railroads The fallacy of this theory is apparent The people who benefit most by the money invested in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are those who consume its products. Every citizen is benefited by every investment of capital which increases the supply or lowers the cost of any commodity. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) serves society by increasing the supply and lowering the price of petroleum products. In recent years this Company has anticipated progress by being among the first to introduce 'employe ownership of stock in the Company.’’ Today, more than 15,000 employes are stockholders. To enable its employes to participate to the geatest extent possible, the Standard Oil impany (Indiana) adds 50c to every SI.OO that an employe invests in stock in the Company. The result of this far-sighted policy has been t° create a better feeling among the employes and to promote a spirit of enthusiasm. Today, every employe-stockholder takes great pride in the fact that he is a partner in the business ana that as he shares in the profits so must he assume his share of the responsibility. 'i ’ j such spirit and consequent interest in the daily task that develops the individual man and fits the office boy for the clerkship; the clerk for the executive position, and the executive for the Board of Directors. Thus does the individual in the Standard Oil x Company (Indiana) organization of 27,000 reap ■ ie .,,? r u according to his achievements. Thirty i million people of the Middle West get all that the standard Oil Company (Indiana)— as an ! organization and as a group of individuals— is aoie to render in a superior, unfailing service.
