Save the beets, its the biggest job we have just now and we don’t mean maybe. And if they are saved they must be taken out of the ground during the next ten days. lied Cross week and your dues are due. Who wouldn't pay a dollar tor such a cause? This organization, world wide, well managed and wholesole purpose is to relieve suffering during times of need, deserves your financial as well as your Inoral support. This is the greatest country in the world and this one of the greatest of all causes—we help each other. Tins is "Father and Son Day" and what could be more important? You ought to be good friends, the very best and closest, you ought to tell each other your troubles and your ► crets, you love each other so why not say so? In the various churches this evening the "dads'’ and their boys will banquet and enjoy programs specially arranged. Its a fine and worthy movement. "■ m The weather man promises "fair ‘and'warmer” for the next few days. Remember the importance of saving the beet crop in this and nearby counties. At Defiance. Ohio, the school children who ean be of assistance have been excused for that purpose. Similar action has been taken in various parts of Michigan and Ohio. We should save the beets even if it takes some extra effort and inconveniences us some in other ways. Decatur needs a hundred homes and we believe they will be built during the next year. Contractors, loan associations, lumber companies and tradesmen will co-operate to assist you in building or buying a home. It will make this a better city and the next year a good business era for the community. If you are thinking of building now is your opportunity. If you believe in aiding the cause become a member of a loan association and actually help in this' growth. Van Wert county commissioners and representatives of the Ohio Slate highway commission have reached an agreement for a fifty-mile road improvement which includes the hard surfacing of the Van Wert to Decatur road. 109, as far east as the Stateline. The entire program will cost the county $75,000 and the state 3125.000, it is estimated. The road will join at the county line with the proposed road from Huntington east through here and will form a portion of The Ben Franklin highway.

Hou. Hugh Daugherty, ricepresident, of the FlcUuer Savings and Trust company, of •adianapolis. for the past doien years. and prior to that the president of the Studebaker Bank at Bluffton, died yesterday, following a stroke of paralysis. He was eigbiy-two years of age and until recently was recognised as one of the h-afliug bankers and of the. state. He #aa active in democratic’ politics in his day and was considered seriously as a candidate tor governor and other high offices. —auttssu. I'nanimo’jsly chosen by the board of directors as president of the Old Adams County bank. John W. Tyndall ha<>*accepted that responsibility and will assume the duties acurely tomorrow morning. Few people in Adams county have so wide an acquaintance or hold the confidence of the people mote than does Mr. Tyndall.

Mr. Tyndall will devote his entire time to the interests of the bank and his mature judgment combined with his experience in business and as a member of the board of directors, qualify him for the important place. The slavish devotion which our courts pay to technicalities, regardless of "the effort on the cause of justice, is a frequent subject of comment. The latest illustration, reported from Washington, seems to be the limit, if the details as given are correct. A prisoner was tried on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. When the jury returned from its deliberations, the foreman, by a slip of the tongue, announced its verdict as "not guilty.” although it had found the defendant guilty. The judjje was informed of the mistake and the jury, on being polled, declared it was for conviction, but the court decided the original announcement should stand and the prisoner was given his freedom. The layman will ask what is the use of polling a jury after announcement of its verdiet if the result of this checking-up process is to be disregarded. A law journal recently recorded the freeing of a defendant, charged with stealing a pair of boots, because his attorney was able to show that the boots were~'not a pair, but two “lefts." Its comment •was that an English judge would have corrected the indictment with a stroke of his pen and ordered that the trial proceeds Many instances of a similar use of technicalities to defeat the ends oi justice couid be cited. There has even been a case where omission of the word “the” from an indictment was held to lender it invalid. Sometimes it is difficult to accept the English jurist's ' dictu nithat “the law is the sublimation of common sense.” — Marion Chronicle.

A SAD CASE

I'm sorry for my banker. If his dreadful plight I'd known, 1 never should have called on him to ask him for a loan: He greeted me most kindly and* 1 thought my chances good When I asked him for assistance, but he sighed: ‘T wleli I could.” His pleasant face turned solemn aud his eyes filled up with tears. His voice seemed strangely plaintive as it fell upon my ears; He started in to tell me of the many loans he'd made, And he sobbed upon my shoulder: “They will never be repaid.”

Service the Foundation of Profit The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) states, without hesitation,-that it is in busings and is organized to make a profit. It believes that no apology for profit making is necessary—that profit making is as able to the consumers of its products as it is t<> the stockholders. Profits are the result of needed service—efficiently supplied. Without profits, service is impossible. Out of its profits, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) finances its increased facilities for service. Out of these profits it extends its service and builds for ampler and fuller service in the future. Out of profits it pays its 50,000 stockholders for the use of their money. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) storage and service stations, spread over the length and breadth of the Middle West, are expressive evidences of service. Into the farming regions of the west, service carried Standard Oil Company (Indiana) tanks and tank wagons, in advance of settlement. This service was of inestimable value • to men struggling to force the land to produce and in the end has been profitable to the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Every' expansion of this Company—bulk storage stations—modern refineries—scientific and technical equipment—all are essential service factors and all are made possible by profits through service. v Every one will admit that oil has been an essential factor in the development of the Middle West. Motorists, farmers, business men —in fact, every one —will acknowledge, that the Standard Oil Cofnpany (Indiana - has been a major factor in bringing oil products to automobiles, to factories, to farms, to home , with a guarantee of dependability and of quality. To render this essential service would have been utterly impossible except for the ability of the Management to conduct the affairs of this Company so that profits could be returned to the stockholders. Profits are the inducement for capital to invest. The ability to create profits has enabled the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to attract the capital necessary for its expansion. This Company has proved in its long expffrience, that economies of production and 1 distribution can be achieved only through a heavy irn'estment of capital and a highly perfect frt organization, working with enthusiasm j and sustained energy.
