By the way, have you ever thought to get that 1926 license for your car? The time was up a week ago and the orders now are to arrest those who drive without them. The air may feel and smell a little like spring but ask any of the old fellows who have been hanging around here for a half century or more and they will tell you it isn’t safe to remove the "heavies” for some weeks yet and maybe not then. A Connecticut man 'recently ate seventy-two buckwheat cakes and drank ,ftve cups of coffee for his breakfast and thats nothing, we beard of a fellow who ate up a house and lot. The young fellows in the Industrial Association are anxious and eager to get things going and the older men should certainly be willing to co-op-erate by furnishing them a program based on good judgment and experience. The government now has more than 4,900 men collecting the income tax, seven times as many as a few years ago. It seems that a lot of this talk of economy is "bunk” pure and undefiled. These men get large saM taries and liberal expenses and as we have to do it any way. why the need of such an army? The birthday of Americas’ greatest patriot, George Washington,- is bein» observed today and in thousands of schools and in many public meetings his praises will be sung. As a soldier, as our first president, as a citizen who Hood for the highest things, his name will b c revered through the ages and it is a fitting time tor patriotic programs. The tax bill is expected to be put through and signed by the President this week and if it is to be enacted so that the people will feel any good results it must be done before March 15th.' Just whether we all want it or not- is a question for the original draft has-been changed so often that few know just what changes the lawwill contain., If daylight saving really did what the name implies, saved an hour of tin>" a day, of course we would all be for it. but its a hard thing to fool old Sol and about all that confts from it is confusion. If any person wants to go to work an hour earlier and Ifnit work an hour sooner, that perhaps can be arranged, but why inconvenience every one in the community to do it? Postmaster General Harry J«’ew, James Goodrich. Governor Ed Jackson and others declare that most of the people of Indiana now favor the World Gourt while Senators Watson and Robinson <jnd the Fort Wayne Nows are just as positive, that nine out. of ten are against it. Just why they don’t agree is not difficult to discern. Its politics pure and simple ami without much sentiment in it. Vi illiam Rooker, a Noblesville lawyer has entered the race for the democratic nomiiaatiqp for senator another penalty for ha'viug the pri njary law. We have no doubt that Mr. Rooker is a first class gentleniai but he has certainly never proven t< the electorate of Indiana any par

We fear that about the only persons who are now in favor of the primary as a means for selecting candidates for the high offices are those who see therein an opportunity for advertising. If the democrats are to carry their message to the voters this year they must have a standard bearer who is known, who h able and who has proven his fitness to the voters beyond question of doubt or guess.

I MEMORIAL IS HELD SUNDAY “Old Reliable” Class Os U. B. Sunday School Honors Isaac Nelson Memorial services were held Sunday, Feb. 21. 1926, in the class room of “The Old Reliable” Sunday School class, of the U. B. church of Decatur, in memory of the late Isaac Nelson, a member of the class, who departed this life at'the home of his daugh- ( ter, Mrs. Beu Hoagland, of North Ninth street, Decatur. Indiana, Feb-, ruary 8, at 3:30 p.m. By request of the teacher of the class, the services were conducted by Mr. J. J- Fought}a former teacher of the class. Mr. Foughty said in part: “Class, we are convening today, under environments which we have never been called to meet before. It is true, that we have sometimes met in class session with brother Nelsoft absent, but hope said to us, next Sunday he may be with us again. Today his chair is vacant; he is not here this morning; and n ohope is left us of his physical fellowship with us ever again ih the class. Yes, he i*. departed from us; is gone but he is not lost to us, for we know where to find him. His earnest, faithful. Christian life work, the influence ami spirit of which is stiH with us. and shall ever remain, is positive evidence, as to where we shall find him We read in Holy Writ “Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord; rest from Their labors, and their. works do follow them." Knowing brother Nelson, faithful, earnest, Christian life as we do, and having implicit confidence in the truth of the scripture text just quoted, we are fully insured that brother Nelson’s eyes, sou! and spirit this morning is feasting on the beauty, love and grace of that “Home of the Blessed called Heaven” located some where in God's great universe; where Jesus has gone to prepare a place for all of His finally faithful when He issues the call, as He has to brother Nelson, “Well done, good and faithful servant, enter Thou Onto the joy of the Lord.” “Men, today our hearts are not sad, because God has called brother Nelson to his reward, but because we shall see his face, and hear his voice no more among us. Brethren, as his faithful Christian life has been an inspiration to us in the Sabbath Back Ached So He Couldn’t Bend Over Had to Get Up Several Times Every Night. Trouble Gone Now. “Six weeks ago I got a severe aching in my back. It just seemed as if my back would break in two, and I could not stoop over without pain. I was nervous, had to get up several times during the night to attend to nature’s laws, and did not sleep well. I would get up in the morning with a dull aching headache and feeling just as tired as when I went to bed. Nothing did me any good till I found Viuna, and right from the first I began to improve. The hurting in my back stopped and I went to bed and got a good night's rest. My nervousness has gone and I can sit down to the table and eat a good hearty meal. I tell you Viuna is a wonder. I don’t have to get up at all at night any more and am feeling fine.” '■ —A. M. Caudell, Fortville, Ind.

Gasoline and Milk THAT the cost of living has increased in the last twelve years is beyond question. It will be illuminating and interesting to review the facts and reduce them to terms of gasoline. Let’s base our case on statistics published by the United States Department o( Labor in the Monthly Labor Review, dealinjf with the average retail price of food products in various cities during the period referred to. We use 1913—the last year of normal, pre-war prices—as a basis for comparison with the latter part of 1925. We select milk as a typical staple commodity and Chicago as a representative city of the Middle West. On November 15, 1913, the average retail price of fresh milk, in Chicago, was 32c per gallon, and the Standard „ Oil Company (Indiana) Chicago tank wagon price for gasoline was 14 Vic per gallon. On that day, one gallon of milk would buy 21-5 gallons of gasoline. On November 15,1925. the average retail price of fresh milk, in Chicago, was 56c per gallon, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) Chicago tank wagon price for gasoline was 16c per gallon. On that day, one gallon of milk would buy exactly 3Vi gallons of gasoline. t In other words, one gallon of milk would buy nearly 60% more gasoline in 1925 than it would in 1913. Stated another way—during this twelve year period, the price of milk has increased 75%, while gasoline increased but 10.3%. The price asked for milk is in line with the price of commodities generally, but the fact repiains that, by comparison, the price of gasoline is very low. This is more remarkable when it is known that the consumption of gasoline increased more than 500%, while the production of crude, from which gasoline is made, increased only 190% during the period, while the average price of crude advanced from $.9-138 to $1.80078 per bbl. In no industry does the law of-supply and demand operate more decisively than in the petroleum industry, and the balancing of these two factors is an accomplishment of which the industry generally, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in particular, may be proud. How was it accomplished? largely through advanced refining processes developed in the research laboratories of this Company. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) discovered and developed processes for cracking petroleum which doubled the yield of gasoline from a given amount of crude. And, following its established practice, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has passed the advantages-nf its greater efficiency on to its cifttomers—the consuming public. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has profound faith in the expressed appreciation of the public, both for the effort it has made and tjie success it has achieved, in keeping the price of gasoline so low. v Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So.
