Its certainly easy to skid these days and the wonder is that more cars have not been laid up for repairs. We watched one car turn completely mound three times in one block and we have' noticed a dozen near accidents. Its a good time 1° drive carefully. The zero weather failed Io mater- i ialize last night as was predicted and we apologize for the inaccuracy of our prognosticator. However, don t gel too gay with him for the oldfashioned ice weather may be just around the corner and about the time you get to laughing boistrously, sweep down on you. Pretty fine winter eonditions, don’t you think? Since President Coolidge and Sucre- 1 tary .Mellon have turned down the. invitation to speak al the republican editorial banquet at Indianapolis they might put on u preliminary between Jimmy Watson and Allie Beveridge i and then a finish go between Billy iChn. and Vic- Keene. No need to go east for fireworks. Just open a box of home made sky rockets. Candidates are beginning to look about and take notice of how things I stand and within a tew weeks the I primary here and elsewhere over the 1 state will be buzzing merrily, its a good thing for any community when : a lot of candidates enter the field for office for it creates interest and the more interest in public affairs, the j better for every on". Senator Beveridge is now warming, <

up uiui the managers of his league evidently intend to send him in against the veteran of many world aerlei;, Senator Jlnf Watson. It is said also that Albert .1. has worked out some entirely new curves and will have the support, of some “rooters” that he did not have in previous engagements. If you are weary and tired <ii the humdrum, of the battle with the world, if you feel you would like to relax anti think of other things than jazz anti dollars and excitement and bus'ness, accept, the invitation and attend services in one of the many ■ churches where services are now being condtictf-d each evening. You will be "helped and you will help. (1 ivernor Jackson takes a couple of flings at I). C.

Ate want you to have your fun and v.r realize that there is something about every boy which urges him to be a little recltlccs occasionally but this bWlugiug atouud the rear of an

( automobile is a thrill which may re--1 suit in-' a broken leg or a crushed hody'and may spoil your fiu* the rest of your life. Washington dispatches deny that ' the new postofllee appropriation bill will supercede the original one which Included an allowance of 1125,000 for a federal building in Decatur and that the first one will have the approval of the administration. Letters received here from Representative Vestal also declare that Decatur will Ice taken care of when the time come*. We feel that since e very county seut rn the district has a public building of this kind there can be no argument against it and we hope those who are. watching this matter will see that nothing slips that will prevent it. It doesn't make any difference whether you feel that going to church i t , a bore- or not, you will probably admit that a community without a church would be a Sffrry place in

which to live. You will find if you attend that you are in an excellent atmosphere where a lot of people are praying that you awake from the idea that you should just live ami feed yourself ami have a gay time to the remembrance that eternity is a long time as compared to the three score years and ten when you are passing your exam on this earth. These two weeks are designed to benefit you and 'they will be just as you permit it. Assist those who are striving to make this a better community by supporting them. >♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ * Big Features Os * * RADIO * * Programs Today * ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Wednesday's Five Best Radio Features (Copyright 1926 by United Press) WEAK.

The book by Frank! Mandel and Otto Harbach carries a 1 cleverly conceived story and is un-1 endingiy funny. The lyrics, devised by Mr. Harbach and Irving Caesar, have point and jingle.

Careful Driving highways, the subject ot careiui more pertinent, day by day. The Standard Oil Company HndiaMHeete it has a duty-self-imposed it is dnven the operations of its own fleets of motor anven vehicles, as to set an example to others. This Company also believes that be the result of its efforts to promote Careful Driving. Upon this premise, it will present, during. the next few weeks, a few phases of its safety c /,• Perhaps no other organization m the Mddli West has been afforded such an nity to observe the need for Careful Driving as na. this Company. Several years ago. the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), recognizing the need for some construct ive, organized effort to prevent avoidable aicide ~ inaugurated its Safety First Division. The results have been more than gratifying. To instill caution by legislation is difficult, and while definite orders, as to care in handling the Company’s business, have been issued, it is our experience that the greatest good has come Torn those suggestions, sent out from time to time, which appeal to the sound judgment and unwavering loyalty of the men handling Company equipment. In support of this contention, we point out that for the'year 1924, Standard Oil Company i Indiana) motor driven vehicles crossed railroad tracks thirty one million times without an accident. The Management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) pointed out to its drivers the dangers and the lack of consideration for others in careless driving. It furnished a placard reading: “This Car Stops at All Railroad Crossings ’ ’ Each driver was asked to pledge himself to cooperate and to evidence his g'iod intentions by displaying this placard on the rear of his machine. That such a remarkable result was achieved, as if by common consent, is a Reserved tribute to the spirit prevailing throughout the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) organization of 28,059 men and women. It is this spirit which has enabled the Management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to render such an essential service, in such a constructive way, as to have gained for the Company, the confidence, respect and esteem of the thirty million people of the Middle West.
