Z 111 This is the last week of the old year.- Its time to clean up everything and start the New Year with a clean rlate. These are good days for t.he fire demon and he has been grinding and smiling the past few days as he watches us shovel the coal in and forget every thing except getting the house warmed up. The only way to fool him is to be careful. Detatur had four fires Sunday, somewhat over our average for one day and perhaps a record. The laddies did excellent work and the losses were all small for which every one is grateful The high school alumni banquet and reunion is in progress and from reports they are having a fine old time. A number are here especially for the occasion and the list of acceptances amounts to over three hundred. All who have attended high school are invited to attend the evening entertainment and you will enjoy it if you go. From zero down to fifteen below were the reports for the past twentyfour hours, the government station at Fort Wayne reporting five below at seven A. M. Sunday. We have heard several arguments, useless too, for any way we all agree it was oldfashioned winter and too cool to be comfortable sitting out in the park. The weather man says it won’t be quite so cold tomorrow so gp ahead and smile. A tablet bearing th e inscription “Thomas R. Marshall, vice-president of the United States, 1913-1921: governor of Indiana, 1909-1913. born on I this spot March 14. 1851. Died June 11, 1925,’’ has arrived and will be placed in the entrance to the Lawrence National bank at North Manchester. The old Marshall homestead 1 stood there but was torn down a few 1 years ago to be replaced by the hand- i some bank building. Dedication ser- ( vices will, be planned soon. A forty-four-year old newsboy who died in Portland, Oregon, a day or two ago left SSO,O(>G, to the United State bureau of education and they don’t need the money. The poor fellow went clad in rags, denied himself every comfort and his life was joyless. He should have planned for an occasional good time or given his money where it would have produced some pleasures and real good. The government can raise money too easily to appreciate it and those who benefit from the bureau take it as a matter of course. Today is the sixty-ninth birthday of the late war president, Woodrow Wilson, and more than five hundred banquets and dinners will be held over the United Slates this evening, honoring his memory. The tendency today to those ideals to which the president devoted the latter years of his lite, a world co-ordination which would prevent war and assure greater happiness and prosperity, is stronger than any time since his return from Europe and the memorable conferA New - Year fesohiubn to help boost this city and county is the most important one you can make, or at least its on e of tl’cm. There are a lot of things we can do as a community which will ifcuefitjsvery one.

If we can step ahead just a little the next fewmonths you will notice it for we are just at that stage where we must’ build more homes to take care of the population, we must arrange to take care of the people and we must do tilings which will take energy and a little effort. Help push her along and lets make 1926 such a year that it will be unanimously declared the greatest of them all. A recent report of the Michigan state parole commission reveals some thought-provoking facts. A total of 1.701 paroles have been issued by the state's Governor since January 1. In August the number of paroles exceeded the receipt of prisoners at the state prisons. During the same period 197 parole violators h»d to be rearrested, some of them for violation of their parole pledges and others because of new crimes committed. Similar distressing facts may be found in other states. Ma Ferguson's record as wholesale pardoner is well known. A Chicago- gunman convicted and sentenced onlythree years ago to life imprisonment for murder, was recently released on parole, but th c wave of popular resentment, plus abject fear of policemen, caused the return of the convict to prison. Other cases might be cited from many other communitiesThere > s a growing outcry against the present pardon and parole systems. Some persons believe that until this means of easy exit from prison is eliminated there will be no possible checking of the crime wave. Certainly it seems foolish to spend so much time capturing, trying, convicting and sentencing criminals if their 11 lease from punishment can be effected so soon and so easily and on such slight pretexts. But simply doing away with parole commissions and paroles won't end crime. It will only keep proved criminals under guard. The real causes and cure of crime are still to be sought.—Elkhart Truth. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ * Big Features Os * * RADIO ♦ * Programs Today * M**»***»♦*« MONDAY’S RADIO FEATURES WEAF, and hoolaup, 10 p. in.

— Shirt-sleeve Management THERE are no soft jobs in this Company: The men of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), from directors to the last office boy, form a shirt-sleeve organization, out to do real work. Everybody is a laborer, from the chief executive down. Executives manage details, for in the oil business details are of major importance. In the petroleum industry costs are computed in fractions. Round figures are rare. It is saving a fraction here and a fraction there that enables the Management to show a satisfactory statement to the stockholders at the end of the year. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is thoroughly democratic. It typifies the modem method of doing business. As a trade paper recently remarked: this shirt-sleeve policy “has caused this Company to be pointed to all over the world as the most perfect business organization.’’ The Company’s directors are executives devoting their whole time to its affairs. They have been educated largely within this organization. Their rise has been a slow step-by-step process covering many years. Every director has a deeply ingrained knowledge of the business, acquired through painstaking, arduous apprenticeship. Such administration makes for economy and efficiency—the two qualities which most effectively guarantee satisfactory service to the consumers and satisfactory profits to the stockholders. It has been said that the Standard Oil Company * (Indiana) is successful because it is big. It might be said with greater truth, that this Company is big because it renders a great and , essential service. This service has been possible because the Company is ably managed and because the organization of 29,000 men and women are loyal, enthusiastic, happy workers, giving to the business every ounce of energy and intelligence they possess.
