The city campaigns seem to be a little slow in getting started but, usually when its this way. they make up for it with a garrison finish which gets plenty hot enough. The Community Standard Training school will open tonight and those in charge are anticipating a successful term with a larger attendance than last year. Much interest is manifest and this is a sign which means much for oup community. We got just a breath of cooler air this morning, probably an echo front the western snow storms of Saturday. We have no inside information but we just have an idea that the hot wave of last week was the last real one of its kind for the seasonWhy should the court house yard be landscaped and made a place of t’-uty? It should lend to the appearance of the city and wouM cost but little. A home surrounded by beautiful flowers, shrubs and trees is much more beautiful than the one with the bare yard and the same thing is true of public grounds. The Hoosier Flyer traction, .(jar, struck an automobile four miles out of Fort Wayne last night on the Bluffton road. One man was killed and about forty injured, a number of them seriously. The car left the rails and finally turned over whiifi the big se.dan was completely wrecked and driver, Bert Wilson, of Peru, was’instantly killed. Investigations will follow and the usual damage claims. I’crbaps it could have beer, avoided if every one concerned had been more careful. They are still searching for the cause of the death of the fish in the St. Mary's river. They will probably put off the solution until after the sugar factory opens here and then try to unload it on that institution, but it won’t work for by expending large sums the Holland-St. Louis Sugar Co., now have things arranged so that no waste will empty into the river. After its all threshed out its our guess they will find the death of the fish is caused by the general sewage in the city of Fort Wayne. The brewers and the Anti-Saloon league are making passes at. each other with indications that a compromise is to be made whereby beerwith a larger alcoholic content can b" made and the brewers will aid the league in the enforcement of law, punishment of bootleggers and the abounishment of hard liquor. It is evidently being admitted that Jh<present law will not be enforced because the people don’t want it enforced and it will at least be interesting to watch these strange bail fellows behave the next few months. With the fair over for 1925 the question naturally arises as to the 1926 event and (Jus is a good time to discuss it. We would like to have your opiniou. We believe that a good organization covering the county should be made, the grounds either purchased or leased and plans made covering a period of years with at interest by people from every town ship.

The fair this year was clean and well managed and was above the average county exposition. Now is a mighty good time to talk about it and we will appreciate ymir opinion, which need not bind you in any manner. Duck eggs are as edible as the egg of the chicken and are much larger but there is no market for duck eggs. The explanation for this as given by

the advertising man is that everytime a chicken lays an egg she cackles all over the barnyard, proclaiming her product to the world, but the duck lays her egg in seclusion and makes no noise about it. Business is like the egg. Some merchants ad vertise their goods aud sell them. Other merchants do no advertising ami, consequently, little business. The wise merchant, when he receives a shipment of goods- which be knows the public wants does not whisper the event down a bottomless well. He comes boldly forth in the newspaper pages and heralds his wares. When the general store filled every mercantile need in the embryo communities there may not have been much need for advertising. Only the bare necessities were obtainable and the consumer had only the general store at which to obtain them. Ah that has been changed. There has been specialization in business just as there has been in labor, the pro Sessions and industry and specialization has brought competition and expansion. The inevitable outcome of the evolution, or revolution, of business has been the realization by both merchant and customer that advertising is as necessary to modern business as service. In fact the con sistent advertising of its goods in the newspaper is a part of the service of every modern store which aims to serve thejiublic-

Who Makes the Price of Gasoline T The public is slow to commend—it in quick to condemn—but when it has the facts it is fair. It has become a habit for many people to blame the Standard Oil Company (Indiana; when in their judgment the price of gasoline is too high. To analyze this condition is to conclude that > it is only the penalty we pay for being big. but as our size reflects only the scope of the service we render, we must accept such degree of responsibility as may be properly charged to our account. In the United States there are 590 refineries of 1 oil. of which only 7 are operated by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). In view of the sharp competition evidenced by this number of factors in the field, it must be obvious that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) can neither throttle competition nor control prices. That all refiners are subject to the same economic laws, is supported by the downward movement of the price of gasoline, brought about by the recent heavy increase in crude oil production. This condition obtains not only in the ten states in which this Company operates but on the Atlantic and the Pacific seaboards; also in the Noph and in the South. The acknowledged leadership and efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) gives plausibility to an impression of unlimited power, rather more than is justified by the facts. But within the exceedingly limited margin of control exercised by this Company, price changes, either up or down, are made only after exhaustive study of every factor involved. It is the constant endeavor of the Standard Oil Company"(lndiana) to maintain a balance in gasoline prices, which will give our customers the benefit of all savings effected by efficiency —to which we believe they are justly entitled —and yet insure an uninterrupted supply of fuel to run your car. It is submitted to the intelligent and fair-minded public that this policy is far-reaching and con structive; that it makes for superior service; establishes a dependable supply of gasoline and maintains the high quality of the product.
