OW _ THt SMALL TOWN — Some one once said — B®d it has, often been repeated-that ‘'God made’ the country; man made the city; but the davit made the small town | Even in that day, when this phrase was first coined, the controversy l waged warm between tho residents of the "big city" and the "small tow#.” And timfe hasn't changed the condition much. Not all residents of, the small town' are advocates for| their home communities. Aud same may truthfully be said of th*' "big city.” Many U'iag in the large centers of population long fur the freedom and ■ quiet of the countryside. They want' io be away from the din, the tension , and the- nervous strain incident to life in the cities where the percaplta per city block is far too high. Aud to large numbers living in small comuiunities and the sparsely populated rural country, city life has a fascination that is well nigh irresistible—- * that leads some to violate the law in order to enjoy the intoxication of the — crowd. But the truth is that being satisfied with the place whore you live does not depend upon the place so much as upon the individual himself. If he makes an honest effort to adjust himself to th® conditions in the community. he it large or small, in which he lives, be will grow to b e satisfied, to be comfortable and happy. If he is making the most of his talents there, he can not ask for more. If he hi dissatisfied, he vs doiug hitnself an injustice. Those who nurse a grievance against their communities should find new locations. They arc harming themselves and the place they caR home. Contrasted with the clamor and commotion of the big cities, life along any “Main street" is better for any one than living in the city. The • changes in soaUi life make amuse-* inent available to the "small lowu'i resident. No one wants a steady diet of one thing, and the small community offers a variety that the "big city" can not give. — Rushville Republican. Th® senate has about decided to go ahead and defeat all toe farm relief bills and adjourn next Saturday. Suits us, suits about every body who have given up any hopes they may have had of some real legislation which would have proven beneficial, so the weary law makers may as well pack their kits and go a fishin'.

We would like to I hav e at least five hundred members and twice that if possible. There I will be no assessments aud you will ( lie helping a very worthy cause that vwili benefit this community for years to come. The the Rev. Father Seiinetz yesterday was on© of tho happiest events in the history rs the St. Mary's church. The program was carried out as announced and we are sure there is no doubt in the minds of any of the high esteem in which Father Seimelz is held. The gift of a beautiful automobile from tho congregation to the pastor was an expression of that feeling and but partially expresses it. It was a day long to be remembered and the services wer e most appropriate. Because of numerous engagements of tho organizers of .the Decatur Country Club for this week, the gen•era! meeting of .members cannot be held until next week. Due notice will be given in advance and at this meeting the board, of governors will be elected. They will then organize by the election of officers aud plans will be made for the season. Isn't is queer that men will discuss the reckless driver and then (crawl in their cars and proceed to I act just as foolish? W e should learn ’lessons from the accidents to others, /but we don't seem to. Get ready to celebrate the Fourth at beautiful Bellmont Park one week from today. The program includes many interesting events. Look it over, gather up your, friends, go early and stay for the fire works.

I was all out of sorts, so 1 said to myself. I'll go fishing today. I'll chuck all my duties way up on the shelf. And slip to the bay. And maybe I'll ge some, and maybe 1 won't, Aud it won't matter much if I do or I don't. For I'll look at the water and look at the trees. And soak up the sunshine and soak up the breeze. I was all tangled up and confused, and my mind Seemed a bodge podge of stuff I'd the notion somehow ] was falling behind, And the going too rough. 1 was living with dollars and living with trade And counting this life by the profit ; I made. And I'd almost forgotten the long years might hold Some treasures not rekoned in silver and gold.

So I slipped out alone on a beautiful day To flab and to rest. And the wind blew a k>l of my meanMess away As tbe Lord came and whispered to me: “Life is more Than sharpening scissor* or running a store. And you don't need much mouey to live as a friend And share, in the numberless pleasures I send.” ■ So I stretched out my sou! and 1 took •in the trees And the clouds drifting by. I soaked up the sunshine and soaked up the breeze. And I let my thoughts lie On the beauty of blosstdns and Birds with their song. I balanced life's pleasure against al’ its wrong.

The Company itself has encouraged employe ownership by Stock Purchasing Plans. The fil'd. Stock Pure hasing Plan formulated five yaar= ago. and jttHt completed, resulted in the employes receiving $215.00 for every SIOO.OO ?übscnhed by iheru. A new plan, similar to the first, and running for three ysars, has been started by the Company, ana 70.87% of all eligible employes have subscribed. Col. Robert W. Stewart. Chairman of the Board of Directors, briefly outlined the purpose of the Stock Purchasing Plans as follows: ''What the Hoard of Directors wanted was a plan which v ouid give to the employe something of permanent value, a permanent investment assuring an income in later years, an investment in the company which employed them that would make them partners with the managers and other stockholders, welding the organization into one great arm; of 29,000 people working for a common cause and common good.” Thp Stock Purchasing Plans, originated for the ben. ilt o:' the employes, are an incentive to save -a spur to ambition. They give to the employes an opportunity for a sound invest ment. yielding, by the generous terms of the arrangement. a substantial and enduring profit. But a lac® r. more important result of the Stock Purchasing Plans is tlx- strengthening of that spirit of unity which binds the 29.600 men and women of the organization into one great force, working with the single purpose—to serv•?. The p< r-onncl of tlie- Standard Oil Company (Indiana is not a group of 29.000 people working with separate and conflicting ambitions; it is a huge force of 29,000 earnest, amoitious men and women, working together to achieve a common end. And the interests of this working force are t he interests of the management and the other stockholders. This identity of interests results in a service to iiie consuming public of the highest and broadest type the organization is capable of rendering. For the theory of service, w hich the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has put into practice, rssts upon thetomriction that the interests of employes, managemant. and stockholders are identical—to serve the thirty mil'-on people of the Middle West with petroleum products of standard quality at a price which is fair and equitable.
