o — WOMAN AND BOY I ’ BURNED WHILE KINDLING FIRES HUATINUHU FRStM PAGE ONE) ing tlie week-ends at his hotne. Recently, he was hired as janitor of the Calvary church. He went to the church Sunday morning to build a fire. A gasoline engine has been used by workmen who are remodel-, ing the building and placing a basement under it, and a cau of gasoline 1 to be used lit the engine was set in- 1 side the building Saturday. Young Helmer, who was accustomed to using kerosene in building the fires, poured out a quantity of tlie gasoline by mistake. When tlie gasoline was poured on the fire, it exploded, knocking the youth to the floor anti burning gaspline was thrown ove rhis cothing. the walls of the building and the coal bucket. The youth succeeded in ex- ( Seeing the fire in the coal bucket, tinguishing the fire on his clothing,' but not until he had been sever- ( ly burned about his legs. His trous- [ ers were almost completely burned. I the boy picked up the bucket to carry j it out of the building and his right hand was seriously burned. William Miller, enroute to the church, was nearby when the youth ran out of the church and he extingwished the fire in the building. The boy ran a mile and a half to his home and was dompietely exhausted when he reached there. A physician was summoned and his burns were dressed. The youth suffered intense pain all day Sunday, but wa a reported to be resting easier, today. His legs from the knees down were badly burned. The church bitilding was not greatly damaged. - ■■■■;■■ ■ —O | Court House H 1 |

COOLIDGE GIVES PLAN FOR FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE I (CONTINVRW rfiOM PAGE ONE) 1 from protective tariff I Leaders in the cooperative movement mid the agriculture department have prepared a farm bill embodying his priniple's, he said. The president opposed proposal for governmjeilt corponftUbnsi which would directly or Indirectly fix i prices or buy and sell farm products, because, he said, they would create bureaucracy, destroy cooperatives and the farmers’ independence and stimulate over production ending in I “complete collapse.” | Elaborate statistics were produced Iby the president to show that the present tariff rates benefit the farmand should not be revised. With I over 50 major articles purchased by | the farmers already on the free list, he said there remains “only 12 per cent of our imports upon which the agricultural industry pays any pari of the tariff.'’ ‘‘The total adverse cost to the farmer on account of the tariff is only between two per cent and three per cent of his pre ha sen. | On the other side, protection Is a I great benefit to agriculture as a j whole. The 6780,000,000 of agricultural produce imported last year had jto pay $260,000,000 for the privilege lof coming into compete with our ;own farm production. Protection greatly aids diversification and so eliminates an unprofitable surplus. Any study of dairy products, flax, wool, and many 4 other commodities ’ will demonstrate that it does.” in aiding industry the present tariff helps agriculture because "prosperity in our industries is of more value • to the farmer than the whole export ■ market for foodstuffs,” he added. i- n

“It’s Not Far to the Next Red Crown Station” A How often have you heard your friends say, “It’s not far to a Red Crown station” when something went wrong or when the gas supply was running low. To the motoring public, and that includes nearly all of us, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service station is more than a convenience. It has become an essential and indispensable institution, upon which the public has come to depend. It would be as inconvenient today to live in a world without grocery stores, as without these service stations. Scattered at carefully selected points throughout the Middle West are 3500 of these stations, owned and operated by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). They are clean, comfortable, convenient. There you may be sure of getting the gasoline and oil you need, at the lowest market price. There you will find ready for your use, free air for your tires, free water for your radiator, free counsel in case of trouble, and a willing, cheerful attendant to Serve you. There you will find ample toilet facilities and in most cases a telephone and other conveniences. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) chain of service stations has been a development of the past few years. They came into being first in answer to an unformulated demand on the part of touring motorists, and they have been continued and multiplied because our patrons demand the type of service we have established. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service stations do much more than sell oil products—they are convenient points of meeting and firstaid centers in time of difficulty. These stations and the service they render, typify the ideals animating the Management of this Company in its relations With the consumer. Efficient service, cheerfully rendered, is the foundation of Standard Oil Company (Indiana; suctess. To give its customers a little more than they pay for, is the undeviating policy of this organization, and this policy is recognized throughout the ten states where this Company has facilities for distribution. Through a long chain of operations from the oil field to the service station, this Company devotes all its abilities and resources to the service of the thirty million people of the Middle West.
