YOUR SAVINGS: — The ease with which swindlers can lure the accumulated saving of a lifetime into their pockets, as well as the innate desire of most individuals to gamble in hope of getting something for nothing, suggests that saving one's savings is as much of an art as is the accumulation of money, it takes considerable stamina to stifle greed /shell a nolly tongued salesman is exploiting his scheme of manifold rewards on a small nvestment. and it also is no easy njatter to keep your money in a safe place when you hear and read how fortunes are being made in land enterprises and mining and oil ventures. One often reads how the savings of a lifetime—money that had been ac cumulated for a home or to provide the luxuries of old age—are invested in specious schemes that engulf it in a few hours, leaving the luckless inv< stor nothing but th knowledge that he was duped. Incidents of this kind are occurring every day in all parts of the country. Not only the unsuspecting and ignorant are fleeced. Inti .often substantial men who momentarily are blinded by the vision of doubling or trebling their money in a short time. The element of thrift has been stressed to such an extent in recent years that the people seem to have learned the lesson well. The tremendous increase in deposits in sav ings banks and financial institutions attest to the degree in which the people are accumulating their money for investment in homes or for a competence in old age. But co-in-cident with the increase in savings is the stupendous sum of money which Americans annually hand over to the swindler and salesman of fake securities. The lesson of thrift is only one-halt of the course; the other part con sists of ability to keep the accumulated savings and invest them to good account. If a person intends to save only until he is duped out of his savings by a swindler, he might just as well spend all he makes and himself derive the enjoyment of his prodigality, rather than to learn later that a crook is living high on his savings which at his suggestion he invested n worthless securities. Speculative undertakings are potential dynamite for the saver. His money is a magnet which constantly attracts the swindler. it takes intelligence to ward off the blandishments and inducements of the. swindler, just as it takes ability and self-sacrifice to accumulate the money which he is trying to get.—Richmond Paladium. Dayton, Tennessee, where the evolution trial took place and where the great Commoner, William J. Bryan p issed his dosing days, is enjoying a real prosperity with indications that the little town of 1.800 population will become a city of several thousand within the year. And the unusual part of it ,is that it war, a premeditated campaign of publicity. Some years ago it was a prosperous little city but during the war the steel mill owned by a Brittislier and the chief industry of the town, went out of business and the town declined rapidly until it looked as though it would Re-

This started things and as they discussed methods of proceedure some one suggested the evolution trial and it was pulled off in good shape. The 'town got on the first page of every newspaper in the world, day after day and of course attracted much attention. Now they are securing several industries ami stepping out lively.

Pep always counts and this is but n another proof. c From almost every pulpit in this city and in thousands of churches over the land yesterday, words of geulne g praise were uttered for the late Wil--8 1 e liam J. Bryan. No man who has ever j. lived in this country was so universn ally known, no other man who has L . been in pubic life has at the same „ time given so much to state and 0 church in the way of service, no one n man has wielded so great an inI fluence for so long a time and no I man since the days of Lincoln has een so sincerely mourned. Ami that’s a record worth leaving. Bryan’s name f will be revered for years to come and children now will tell of their , acquaintance and their knowedge ol I this great man to their children and , their grand children. After all the best way to live and to die is in serv- , ing others unselfishly and earnestly. I Then and then only are you called . blessed. If is whispered that Goodrich, New and Beveridge are considering a com bination realignment of forces to det feat Senator Watson next year. That's a queer partnership, but those who have given attention to the game know that of all things politics makes the stAmgest bed-follows. it is not that they love Beveridge more, but Watson less, and added to this bunch of old time politicians, you may also ' consider Governor Ed Jackson who , feels his power just now and is using t it in an indiscriminate manner. Sen- ’ ator Watson is spending many hours each day trying to check the storm ' and in the meantime the democrats are sitting quietly in the boat await- ’ ing developments. Its all very interesting. General conditions over the country are improving. At least indications at present tend that way. For two , years it has been a somewhat up and • down tilt but with an average crop i coming on and prices holding fairly strong, the outlook for a good trade this fall and winter are very good. 1 And that’s the best news we can have | these days when about every body is i struggling to get by and living more ' on hope than on profits. Its only six weeks until fair time and if you have not planned to include that in your program of things to arrange for, better do it now. Its to be a real event, a big fair with everything that goes with it ami you are going to enjoy it if you permit yourself to do so. Tell your friends about it. Let’s make it an old home week and the folks all come back. o | Big Features Os ( j RADIO [ i j Programs Today c f MONDAY’S RADio FEATURES 1— f KPO.

A LITTLE G IRL'S QUESTION

I’m just a little girl, and oh, There's so much I want to know Want to do, but all the day "No" is all that people say. Never once they say to me: “Yes .go see what you can see! Go alone and race and run. Climb the trees and have some fun' get hurt," is all they say, And if you should run away 1 ’You'll get lost!” Oh dear, oh dear; There’s so very much to fear I can see nc. fun at all Being young and being small. If God's taking care of us Can life be so dangerous?

As Ye Sow A few years ago it was the fashion to malign big business; and to attribute to successful enterprise the responsibility for all the economic ills that beset the nation. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believing that this attitude was brought about by a lack of understanding determined to open its doors, and through the public press tell the simple story of its practices, its policies and the ideals animating the Management. The results have been more than gratifying. Prejudice gave place to goodwill through the light of better understanding. Even in the old days of misunderstanding, there were always two groups of people who never maligned the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) —its employes and its customers. Those who knew the Company best liked it most. In employing the public press as the most efficient vehicle for carrying “the light of better understanding" to the thirty million people of the Middle West, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been thrown into constant business contact with the publishers of newspapers, large and small, «n the city and in the country'. In its relations with newspapers, the Standani Oil Company (Indiana) has followed the same policy it pursues in dealing with its employes, customers, stockholders, and competitors; fairness and justice to all. That the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), by its fair and square dealings, has added another group to its constantly increasing host of friends is evidenced by the following excerpt from a letter, written, under date of June 17, 1925, by Mr. A. F. Ender, Editor of the Rice Lake Chronotype, Rice Lake, Wisconsin: “Never have we dealt with a firm more square nor more business like than the Standard Oil people. As their name indicates, they have standards to which they adhere.” It is by adhering to its well-established standards of integrity in manufacturing, in selling and in distributing petroleum products, that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has come to be one of America’s foremost institutions—in size, in scope and in service.
