The old court house at Dayton, Tennessee, became so slmky yester day, due to the crowds which have jammed the building for ten days to hear the issues and evidence in the Scopes trial, that it was necessary to adjourn to the court yard. A platform was erected there and the tiias proceeded in broad daylight. Tire Chautauqua, the Elks Fun Festival, the County Fair, the 50th Knight o( Pythias Anniversary—four big entertainment events to occur during the next six weeks, will provide clean amusement and a good time for all who wish it. Plans for all of these events are going forward rapidly now. Watch the columns of this paper from day to day for announcements. Fifth street is being badly damaged by the ten-ton trucks which are hauling stone over that thoroughfare to the state road under construction from this city north and something should be done to prevent it being complete ly ruined. We want paved state roads but it hardly seems necessary that we sacrifice our paved streets to get thmn. Surely there is tome way to avoid the deep ruts now being made in the streets. A severe wind storm dipped down in Kirkland township yesterday and wiped out several fields of corn and oats almost completely. The loss U a severe one for a number of the citizens of that splendid community and < at this season those who suffered have ] no way of recuperating the losses this ( year. Hail tore the leaves from the ( stocks and left them bare, many trees t were blown down down and the total 4 loss will aggregate several thousand dollars. , The trustees of Adams county re s fuse to get panicky over the “Monkey trial” and will make no new' rules re 1 <; garding the teaching of religion or evolution and why should they, since j we have progressed gather satisfactorily for nearly a hundred years ‘ without any fuss about our relationship to ape, monkey or other animal, inferior or superior? After all its not what we were a million years ago or < what we will be a million years from 1 now, but it’s what we are now. how * we treat our fellowman and how we < prepare for that afterwhile. ] The Hon. Clarence Darrow, rec •owned Chicago lawyer has discovered that Judge Raulston of the Dayton court is a stickler for respect for his t official position and for the upholding of court. He may he a “hick” to Dar 1 row but he has the same authority ( as a judge in Chicago would have and he used it with proper discretion when S he felt he had been insulted. Mr. Darrow was smart enough to realize 1 his position and very promptly apologized iu court, thus escaping a hear- ( ing that might have proven as sensational as the monkey trial. The 1 southern judge handled the situation in a dignified manner and his action is approved by the public. Milton Elrod has been “fired" as editor of the National Democrat, because of his former connection with the Fiery Cross. How he ever got in

When it was announced that he was to be the editor. a mighty objection went up from over the country and the protest from Indiana was so unanimous that it was decided to reorganize the outfit. Elrod was supposed to be a republican while living in this state and at least had much to do with the convention organization for Jackson a year ago. He is a soldier of fortune, who evidently struck the wrong camp. Delphos is to get a postoffice building or rather an effort is now being made by the congressman of that Ohio district to get an appropriation lined up. Other cities are to be thus favored and it might be well to call the attention of Congressman Vestal to the fact that Decatur is the only county seat in the eighth district that does not boast a government building. Some years ago the government purchased the John Niblick lot. Third and Liberty Way and it is expected that at some time the lot will be used as the site for a federal building, it is understood that President Coolidge has signified his consent to a “pork" bill at the next congress which will permit the building of a number of such structures and if our congressman will get busy, it ought to be a comparatively easy matter to put it over.

That rose I sought to keep myself. Soon withered on my little shelf. Shut from the service of the world in death its petals quickly curled. And no w too late 1 sit and sigh For loveliness which hurried by. My selfish rose has blown away And none remembers it today. Yet had I given it to a friend. Or let a child above it bend, Said to my neighbor: ‘‘Come and take My fairest rose for old time's sake”:

Competition and Service t * “If you look at the oil industry without bias,” «avs W C. Platt in the National Petroleum News of April 29, 1925, “I believe you will find that it has been a typical American industry with much competition and great freedom of competition in the last twelve or fifteen years.” Mr. Platt cites the case of Ohio —which is very similar to that of several Middle West states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). In 1912 Ohio had 63,000 automobiles. In 1924, it had i,244,000 automobiles—or about 1900% increase. • To serve this vastly increased business has been a task of such herculean proportions fchat the oil companies then in business could not increase their facilities fast enough to keep up with the demand. As the need of petroleum products increased, competition increased—not only to provide the additional service required but in order that society might function efficiently and smoothly. An industry grows in response to the demand of consumers for more products and more efficient service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has grown in response to the demands of the pubhe. It has grown in the face of keen, persistent, aggressive competition and holds its leadership solely through rendering a consistently superior service. In ten Middle Western states in which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) operates, there are some 3489 competitive oil companies. In all of its dealings with competitors, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) employs the same principles—fairness and justice which it insists are the rights of its employes and stockholders. To its customers it gives thoughtful service, superior products and the utmost of value for the money they spend. It is by following these sound practices that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has grown from an organization of moderate proportions to be one of America’s foremost institutions—in size, scope and service. • Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So.
