College teams have either reached or will reach this week the end of their schedule while all but 61 public high school teams in the state have put awtay their suits. The few Catholic high school teams who were fortunate enough to get an invitation to the national Catholic tourney at Chicago are still hard at work. The Commodores’ new uniforms arrived this morning and they sure are ’’hot.’’ They ought to make a fine impression at the national tourney. The Commodores will practice in them before going to the tourney, however, In order to become accustomed to the “new surroundings." The schedule for the Chicago tourney will he drawn Sunday night, it has been announced. The drawings likely will be announced over radio station KYW in Chicago about 9:30 o’clock Sunday night. Will Wynn, Berne Witness columnist, found a little time to give vent in his column yesterday, rejoicing over the victory of the Fighting Five in the tourney here. Here's what he says: "We had just about decided not to run this column today, but that would have been an unadulterated shame after Mark M. Upp expected it. We took a peek at the Witness stone and the ads and saw that this tri-weekly 4-page paper had to have an insert today. That's fine. Thanks to the ad man and the loyal business men who want to prove they are back of the team in a loud way. "Decatur was a good host Friday and Saturday—except for that B-E-A-T B-E-R-N-E chant—that grated our nerves—it did for a fact and we aren't exactly chicken-hearted, either.” That’s funny. Will. We got a big thrill out of that “neat Berne” chant. In fact, we believe that the Yellow Jackets would have had a much more successful season if the rest of the high school pupils had caught that fighting spirit a little sooner in the season. Rip Offs, in the Bluffton News, notes in his commendable column that Decatur was defeated in the tournament here, and wonders what •libit we will offer. None, Rip Offs. We hope Berne gets a crack •t the Bluffton Tigers. Rippy also wonders if we will say any nice things about the Tigers, since they won their tournament. We said '» yesterday, old man.

Watch Your Breakfast Eat food that supplies “balanced” ration after night’s fast HOW you feel all morning depends largely on what you eat for breakfast. Thousands have unenergetic forenoons because of wrong breakfast eating. To feel right, you must have wellbalanced, complete breakfast ration. At most other meals — lunch and dinner — you get it. But breakfast is a hurried meal, often badly chosen. Thus Quaker Oats, containing 16% protein, food’s great tissue builder, 58% carbohydrate, its great energy element, plus all-important vitamines and the “bulk” that makes laxatives seldom needed, is the i dietetic urge of the world today. 1 It is food that “stands by” you through the morning. Quick Quaker cooks in 3 to 5 minutes. That's faster than plain toast. Don’t deny yourself the natural stimulation this rich food offers you. . Quaker Oats

Gasoline and Wheat No other two commodities have a more ini timate bearing on the affairs of man than gasoline and wheat. A brief study of their price relationship will ' prove interesting. The Monthly Crop and Market Bulletin of the United Slates Department of Agriculture shows us that the average farm price for wheat ! in 1913 was $.784 per bushel. During the same year, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) average Chicago tank wagon price for gasoline was $.14837. I These figures show that in 1913 one bushel of wheat would buy 5.28 gallons of gasoline. In 1925, the average farm price for wheat was $1.50118 per bushel. And, Standard Oil Company (Indiana) average Chicago tank wagon price for gasoline was $.17276 per gallon. Which, expressed in terms of commodity, ‘ means that in 1925 one bushel of wheat would buy 8.G9 gallons of gasoline—or 64% more than it would purchase in 1913. In other words, while the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) average Chicago tank wagon price for gasoline advanced 16.4% in twelve years, the average farm price for wheat increased 91%. Factors which no man can control enter into the business of supplying the nation with food and with gasoline. Inclement weather can ruin crops and influence prices. A dry well can waste enormous sums of money, which the petroleum industry must absorb. The flow of crude, like the yield of wheat, fluctuates with conditions nature sets and which no man can control. Yet the farmer and the oil man are able, within certain limits, to overcome these opposing forces. Irrigation and “dry” fanning have increased enormously the yield of grain in many localities. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), by developing its famous cracking processes, has been able to double the yield of gasoline from „ a barrel of crude. The farmer and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) have had to meet increasing costs of production. The prige of everything has gone up during the last twelve years. The fact that the price of gasoline has advanced less than that of almost any other basic commodity is a tribute to intensive specialization in a highly organized industry. The net result of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) efficiency in keeping down costs and selling prices, is reflected accurately in the affairs of every man, woman and child in the ten Middle Western states served by this Company.
