In these days when we hear so much about the cost of rearing children, we can't help wonder why every bachelor isn't worth a million or two. Its only three weeks until the Fourth and plans are going forward for a celebration here fitting for the occasion If the local folks will back it up the occasion will be worth while in every way. Congress is talking about adjourn- , Ing, which is encouraging to those who have watched them during the session. They seem willing to pass , any bill so long as they can get out from under the responsibility. After what we have read of the evidence in the Pennsylvania primary investigation we are convinced beyond any shadow of doubt that the average country editor has no business in politics. Compared to Senator Newberry's expenditure of 1130,000 in Michigan, the millions spent in the recent Pennsylvania primary seem high, but you must remember that this is an expensive age. A Kokomo man has just received an offer of $500,000 for twenty-five acres of land he owns in California, /because of its oil production. Now if he don't wake before the dream comes true he be comfortably fixed until the revenue collector gets him. ■ „ IL. 111 Governor Jackson paroled three lifers last week and one of them had served only three months. Do you wonder that crime increases when a man who murders is turned loose on the public in ninety days, no difference what his excuse is or what his pull was? < ll 1 " The new swimming pool was a popular place again yesterday and the men in charge had a busy day. The rule that all who enter the pool must present a health certificate from a physician after a real examination is and should b e rigidly enforced. Help Coach Curtis and the administration conduct the pool in the method which gives the best results for all. Republicans in lowa are now trying to figure out how they can defeat Brookhart and elect the rest of their ticket, a rather difficult job. The same thing is worrying the national committee who are trying to devblve a plan whereby they can I , stand for Watson and Robinson in Indiana and oppose Brookhart in lowa. Its a terrible mess with a hang I over for 1928 what ever the results may be this year. While the committee which went to Washington to secure national speakers for the coming campaign • rcpor' excellent success and claim to have signed Vice-President Dawes a and Secretary Mellon, the reports ” from Washington do not tally. Cer- „ isspoudents there say the Indiana men were given the cold shoulder and told to depend on Watson and Robinson for their campaign talks. Guess we'll just have to wait to find out what is so happen. fl* • R.

ttons are that the party of Jefferson will be fighting to the last minute on election day. He has secured a ’number of mitaide speakers and there is more activity about headquarters than in a dozen years. This is flag day, set apart because } on June 11. 1777. the congress of the I'nited States adopted a resolution declaring "that the Hag of the thirteen I I'nited States be stripes alternate, | red and white; that the union be , thirteen stars, white in a blue field, I representing the new constellation." , In 1818 congress passed a resolution continuing the thirteen stripes and ,' providing that a star be added for each state admitted to the union. The flag now contains forty-ei «■ stars and the day is observed over 1 the entire nation by display of the 'old red. white and blue banner, which 'has stood always for fair play, honor and bravery. Arthur Brisbane is of course a great writer and usually a very good thinker but he has certainly gone to seed on th e world court proposition. He charges that the cause of Brookhart's victory was because Cummins voted for the court bill when everyone knows that it was because of his attitude on farm relief. He claims the world court brought about the de feat of Pepper though the investiga- . tion shows it was a case of using money to the best advantage. Even a man like Brisbane can go to seed 'and evidently has. The public while opposed to th e world court do not recognize it a live issue in this year's ■ campaign. — — o

I Judith I of Blue Lake I Ranch I I Copyright by Cterleo •erlbser'e Bona

’ The sun rolled Into a clear sky and I warmed her. She made her way down the long flank of the mountain and Into the tiny meadow. For upward of two hours she remained there, nibbling at roots which she dug up with a broken stick, seeking edible 'growths which she knew, finding little, but enough to keep the life in her, the heart warm In her breast. Then she went on, over a ridge again, down Into a canyon and along the stream which rose here and flowed westward. By noon she was faint and sick and had to stop often to rest, her legs shaking under her. Again she made a scant meal. She had stumbled on a tiny field of wild potatoes and ate ■what she could of them, thinking longingly of a match for a fire. The match which Ruth had dropped she still had, but she carefully reserved It now, thinking how perhaps a trout, caught 111 a pool, might save her life. In her already half-starved condk tlon and with the demands constantly put on her strength, she would grow weaker and weaker if help did not noon come. But she was still filled with the glory of freedom. It was a heart-weary, trembling Judith who late that afternoon made her way upward along another ridge, seeking anxiously to find from this lookout some landmark which she had sought In vain last night. In her blouse were the few roots she had brought with her from the field discovered at noon. Lying in a little patch of dry grass, resting, she watched the day go down and the night drift Into the mountains, filling the ravines, creeping up the slopes, rising slowly to the peak to which she had climbed, seeping into her, soul. Never had the passing of the' day seemed to her so majestic a thing, truly filled with awe. Never until now had the solitudes seemed so vast, so utterly, stupendously big. Never until now, as she lay staring up ! Into the limitless sky, having given, up the world about her as unknown,: had she drunk to the lees of the cup, of loneliness. So great was the weariness of her] i tired body that as she lay still, watch- ■ Ing the stars come out one by one,; ■ she was half-resigned to lie so and, \ let death come to find her. It seemedto her that here In the rude arms of : Mother Earth a human life was aj ■ matter of no greater consequence ! than the down upon a moth's wing. But she rested a little and this mood., foreign to her Intrepid heart, passed,' and she sat up, again resolute, again ready to make her fight as long as life 1 beat through her blood. At last she’ took the one match from her pocket.' ■ She scarcely dared breathe when,; I with dry grass and twigs piled against a rock, her dress shielding them from' ,the wind, she rubbed the match softly' against her boot. A sputtering flame,! making the blue light of burning sul-’ fphur, died down, creating panic In. I her breast, then flared, crackled, licked,' pat the grass. She had a fire and she j knew how to use it! ! When a log was blazing, assuring! ( her that her fire was snfe, she rose, !swiftly and went in search of the, dtree she meant to burn. She a giant pine, pltch-oozlng, standing in a rocky open space where there was ilittle danger of the fire spreading. 'Fagged out and eager as she was, she 'had not come to the point of forgetting what a great forest fire meant. 1 She went back to her burning log, ifbr a blazing dry branch which she 'carried swiftly to the tree. Then she i piled dry grass and dead twigs, logs as heavy as she could carry, bits of brush. The flames licked at the tree, ran up It. seemed to fail away, sprang at it again, hungering. Now and then a long tongue of fire went crackling high up along the side of the tree. Judith went back to a spot where, in a ring of boulders, there was another grassy plot, thrw herself down and lay staring at tffe tongues fire which were climbing higher and higher.

Work and Profits Through the First Stock Purchasing Plan, 15,325 employes became joint owners of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), sharing in the profits of the Company. Under this plan, initiated five years ago and just com pleted. the Company added 50 cents to every dollar paid in by the employes toward the purchase of the Company's stock. This liberal arrangement met with enthusiastic response By the careful thrift it encouraged, the employes were able to save $11,800,000 to invest in Standard Oil Company (Indiana) stock. Recently they received stock to the value of $25,350,000, representing, in addition to their subscriptions, the stock added by the Company under the terms of the plan, plus the ordinary dividends. Thus five years of installment paying on stock of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) brought employes of the Company an appreciation of $13,550,000. The ofily stockholder receiving a larger share of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) profits is a philanthropic organization —the Rockefeller Foundation—established "to pro mote the well-being of mankind throughout the world." The Rockefeller Foundation receives 5.4% of the total dividends, while the employes receive 4.2%. The fact that the employes of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) receive the second largest share of its profits is highly appropriate. The work of the loyal employes of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is of a kind deserving generous encouragement, worthy of reward. They work energetically, secure in the knowledge that their efforts will be appreciated. Tliey work enthusiastically, certain of friendly co-opera-tion and helpfv! encouragement'from the management. They work harmoniously together, conscious of the high creed of service which binds them into a single united force The work of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) employes is of a kind that cannot be commanded or forced, it must be inspired by such deeply human things as loyalty and faith and true devotion. It must be sustained by a simple delight in doing things well. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) owes its success to work of this calibre, carried on in every phase of its activity by a vast army of loyal men and women —the employes. The profits received by employes, who also are stock holders, represent an incidental reward for the kind of work that is done for the jov of the doing—the kind of work that is responsible for the service the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is able to render the thirty million people of the Middle West. z Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So.
