How's the coal supply holding out? Looks like by some arrangement or other we firemen will have ■“ to continue on the job the year around and without any overtime pay. So far there hasn’t even been a good chance to clean the basement. Wonder why the committee of the Decatur Industrial Association, whose 1 business is to land new industries don't hold a few meetings and get busy on securing a factory or two. Other towns are doing it and there is no sufficient reason why we should not, except that we don't work at it hard enough. It is said that the supporters of Albert Stump, democratic nominee for United States senator, will make a great ,effort to organize the young men of Indiana and if they succeed in tdiat they have done the greatest tiling for their party in years, victory Ahich would thus be assured, being only an incident. The supreme court of California lias gianted a divorce decree to a San Francisco gent whose one and only complaint was that his wife continually irritated him by "driving from the rear seat." Now there's a precedent for those down trodden men of Indiana who feel they arc abused. Wheu the wife scolds about your driving just yell back "remember California." July 2nd and 3rd arc to be road days in Adams county and a program of interest and importance will bo arranged by Charles Magley, county road superintendent, assisted by members of the various business organizations over the county.

the law recently enacted eliminates every Indiana city, Including Decatur. Only those cities which were recommended prior to the war will get new buildings, excepting Pittsburg, where Mr. Meilflii lives and Des Moines, where Senator Cummins. ’ also a member of the selection com rnUlee. resides. It may be perfectly alright but it sounds funny. However we are not surprised for we be ' lieve that this city will not get in on the proposals until a greater effort and mole interest is manifested here. I This is the big election day in lowa and the voters will decide between Senator Cunnuins of the old guard aud Smith Brookhart of the radicals A very peculiar thing about the campaign just closed is the fact that the name of President Coolidge was avoided. Never in history lias the popularity of a president ■faded so rapidly as has that of Mr. Coolidge and while Mr. Cummins is an admirer, he has been frightened ' by the recent elections and to save i himself has not referred to his chief. Results will be watched by scores of political writers and prognosticators. The Indiana Farm Bureau, convinced that Eail Crawford who recently retired from the highway commission is honest to the core and that he is innocent of the charges on which he was indicted and will he tried next month, will raise a fund for his defense. James K. Mason is in charge of the work and -Judge Eichhorn, of Bluffton, has been employed to assist in the defense. While we are in sympathy with Mr. Crawford and think he is being persecuted along, with others who hope to discredit the commission and thus throw it in the hands of politicians to the great detriment of the people. w<cannot sec why it is necessary to make such a general campaign for funds or what can be done with the money when it is raised. o— ————

[judith 11 of Blue Lake * I Ranch I [ By Jackson Gregory Copyright by Charles ioribner's Bona

Tommy Burkitt, staring back across - the broken miles of mountain, canyon, and forest, his eyes frowning, was muttering: "Look nt that. Bud. What do you make of It?" For a little Lee did not answer. He and Tommy and Hampton, standing' among the rocks, turned their eyes j together toward the hills rimming In the northern side of Blue Lake ranch. I “I make out.” said Lee slowly, "that Trevors means business and that Car-' son has got his work cut out for him . thia morning. Tommy." • I For the thing which had caught the ; boy’s eyes was a blaze on the ridge, Its flames leaping and licking git the thinning darkness, its smoke a black smudge on the horizon, staining the low of the dawn. And farther along be same ridge was a second blaze, - pialler with distance, but growing aa I licked at the dry brush. Still farther : third. i "If that fire ever gets a good start," ( tuttered Lee heavily, "it’s going to weep the ranch. God knows where t will step. And just how Carson is .’oing to tight tire with one hand and told his stock with the other, I don't :now.” , Rut even then he turned his eyes way from the ranch, sweeping the egged jumble of mountains about ini. Judith was gone. Judith needed tint and he did not dare try to estlnate the soreness of her need. What lid it matter that -Carson and Tripp nd the rest had their problems to ace back there? There was only one hlng in all of the wide world that nattered. And he’did not even know vhere she was, north, south, east, ir west 1 Somewhere in these mounjiins, no doubt. But where, when a nan might ride a hundred miles this ray or t(iat and have no sign if he >assed within calling distance of her? In his heart Bud Lee prayed, as se had prayed last night, asking God Jiat he might come to Judith. And t seemed to him, standing close to sod on the rocky heights, that his uayer had been heard and answered, for, far off to the east, still farther n the solitude of the mountains, risng from a rugged peak, a thin line if smoke rose into the paling sky. It might he that Judith was there, it might lie that she was scores of idles from the beckoning smoke. Rut bee had asked a sign and there, like 4 slender finger pointing to the brightsning sky, was a sign. He stooped swiftly for rifle and rope and packet of bacon. "Where you goin', Bud?" asked Tommy. "To Judith," answered Bud Lee . gently. For in his heart was that faith which is born of iove. CHAPTER XIV The Tools Which Trevors Used To Judith life had" changed from a pleasant game in the sunshine to a hideous nightmare. In a few- dragging hours she had Come to know incredulity, anxiety, misery, dejection, black hopelessness, and icy terror. She had come to look through a man's eyes at that which lay In his heart, to feel for the first time in her fearless life that the fortitude was slipping out of tier bosom, that the strength was melting in her. She lay on a rude bed of flr-boughs, an utter, impenetrable blackness like a palpable weight on her eyeballs. When It was silent about her. and for the most part silence reigned with the oppressive gloom, she yearned so .for a little sound that she moved ■ her foot along the rock floor under her or snapped a dry twig between her fingers or even listened eagerly . for the coming of the terrible woman I who was her jailer. Gropingly, again nnd again she went-over in her thoughts the long journey here, seeking fruitlessly to know wharher she had come north, south, or eest from the raneh-hovse. It was one of these three directions, for there were no such mountains as these to the west, no such monster cliffs, no deep cavern reaching into the bowels of the earth. The sense that, even were she freed, she had no slightest idea whore she was. which way she must go. stunned her. "Will I go mad after a while?" zhe wondered miserably. "Am »I already going mad? Oh. God, have mercy on me —” • (TO BE CONTINVEDI Young Hero Ends Life • Lapel, Ind.. June 7 —(United Press) —Worry over ill health given today as the cause of the kuicide of

Profits and the t'eople The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an organization which belongs to the people. Fifty thousand stockholders own the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and not one of them—or any group of them—holds more than of the total stock. 0 For the owners of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are. not distinguished by unusual wealth or power. They are just ordinary people. remarkable only for their thrift and a particular pride in the big business that they own. The three largest stockholders in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are the Rockefeller Foundation, the Employes, and the General Education Board. In other words, the three most important stock holding influences in the Company are: a philanthropic organization to promote the welfare of the people, a huge working force of 15,325 employes, and an organization to advance education in all its phases. All thQ people of our country are benefited indirectly by the work of the General Education Board, which has for its purpose ‘‘the promotion of education within the United States of America without distinction of race, sex, or creed.” Wherever there has been need of any kind for money—for encouragement—for new suggestions—for the solving of particular problems—wherever there has been a chance to help in the great work of education in America —the General Education Board, a stockholder in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), has given of its best. As a consequence of its work, educational institutions in America have been able to take their place among the leaders of the world. Thousands of people receive the profits of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) directly, in the form of dividends, but unnumbered thousands receive the benefits of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) profits indirectly, through such organizations as the General Education Board. That these profits and dividends endure is due to skillful management, keen foresight and persevering effort on the part of this splendid organization of 29,000 employes, who believe in the age-old principle of fairness, justice and equity to all.
