Durkin, convicted of killing a federal agent and under life sentence, made an instilling remark about women. His cell mates pounded his face to a jelly and then refused to discuss the matter further. Its no* up to "Ma" Ferguson, gov ernor of Texas to resign or admit she is a poor sports lady. During the primary she openly declared that if she did not defeat her nearest oppon ent by 25.000 she would resign. She vas defeated by 100,000. Now its her move again. Dan Moody, attorney general, who won the nomination, is said to be a level headed and wise man who will straighten out affairs, public and political in his state. 1 heodore Clement Steele, who made Brown county famous by his paintings of beauty scenes among the hills , end valleys of that section aud in turn became recognized as the greatest Hoosier artist, difcd Saturdaynight. Though in his eightieth year his late pictures have been as beautiful as those of a score or two years ago when he gained his reputation. He was honorary professor of painting at Indiana University and his pictures have been exhibited alj over the world. Most drivers are obeying the traffic rules and-signs and there is a noticeable leasing in accidents and near ones. Tbats line and we commend every d-iver who is cooperating with the officials. There i.> one other nile other nearby cities of this size and larger and that is the stopping of loop turns at the down town corners. These are dangerous turns for they slow up the traffic from the other direction and cause the pedestrians to dodge out of the way. A half dozen signs at the intersections, beating the words "no loop turn" will do the work. Its inexpensive, its »u improvement and it will perfect the regulations. From all over the country come reports of children being bitten by tnad dogs. Rabbles is on the increase from some cause or other and the safe thing to do is to keep your pet dog muzzled or tied so he can't injure the children. One boy or girl Is worth more than all the dogs in the county and while we don-t know whether the order from the state Mroard of health has expired or was renewed. the facts remain that the cause 10, hot beet) removed and that there ij just its much danger now as ever aud perhaps more. Its a matter of ’•••itmon sense, you don’t want your git I or boy bitten nor you don’t want : otir dog to be the cause of some child being injured. The drowning of Albert Bauman and Harry Roebuck, two fine young men of this county on Sunday is tietply deplored and the event cast a shadow of gloom over the territory where the boys were known. Though no dame is attached to any one the aciddent again calls us to remember far.’, the greatest care is necessary at

•II times. The bravery of Harry Roe-' bin L in going to the assistance of his companion who could not swim and who had stepped in over his depths 'earns for him a medal and a memory of honor for no greater sacrifice can any one make than to give his life for I his friend. The terrible affair also reminds us of the good which comes ( from the Instructions now being given at the municipal swimming pool in this city on how to rescue a drowning person. Often as In this case a good swimmer is drawn down in his efforts to save a companion unless he knows just what to do and how to do it. The Instructions should be taken seriously by everyone who has the opportunity and remembered for use in cases of necessity. Senator Watson freely concedes that the Fordney tariff cannot of Itsself do anything for agriculture. He frahkly admits that without intervention of the Haugen plan or a similar measure the farmer can have no relief. He categorically charges tliat President Coolidge fought and defeated the bill that had put the Watson mind under conviction it was, the essential need to establish relief i and that he turncM around and prevented the Coolidge gold brick from being sold to the farmers. And he has known since 1900 that agriculture was in course of an alarming descent, yet waited until 1926 before he attempted to do anything about it. Into what sort of a tangle has Sen ator Watson got himself on the tariff.' the Republican party, a republican adminisration and a republican- congress? What does he say that can restore any American farmer's confidence in the honesty of either him M il or his party?—Fort Wayne Jour-nal-Gazette.

Folger, t United Press Staff Correspondent) Mexico City, July 26 —Mexico today is In turmoil as, with less than ' a week remaining before the new antl-Catholic laws go into effect church and state drive to retain their respective powers in the great relig- . ions upheaval. j A pastoral letter sigqkkl by ull Mexican archbishops and bishops and ap'proved by Pope Pius XI was read in churches throughout the nation yesterday. Attacking the government's position, it declared that the church had long been tolerant in the face of persecutions but that it would be a crime to 'tolerate the new law. and that con seqtiently the plan of passive resistance had been adopted. President Calles meanwhile issued I lengthy statements to the press on ]|the boycott threatened by Catholics, j and said that the new laws had been fenced on th.- government by the “seditious attitude" of the clergy. , The government, which is holding! ready to enforce the decrees force if necessary. I It is understood that beginning next Sunday, Catholic priests will assume the status of private individ-' I uals, and church properties are ex-' pected to go into the hands of prom | inent Catholics in the vat ious parishes. I Meanwhile stiange scenes of religious ardor were enacted yesterday as Catholic Mexico celebrated what ' was believed to be the last Sunday services before the coming of the new regime. Many couples were married during the day, eager to receive the blessing of the church before the laws beI < apre effective. I Forty-eight couples were marriei in one church alone during the day. lin all churches the marriage certmonies jostled ceremonies of baptism and confirmation, which will continue throughout the week. , I o Local Undertaker Buys New Limousine-Hearse I 1 S. E. Black, local undertaker, returned to this city Saturday, from Knightstown, with a new limousinehearse. said by the manufactureres , to be the most up-to-date in this part of the state. The new machine is ,a I combination/ hearse and limougine and also tuay be used as an ambulance. *"| The car has a Hudson chasis and the body is custom built, by a concern' at Knightstown. The car is of sufficient length and can be changed in- 1 to an ambulance by removing one of the rear floor boards. Seats are also folded around the ‘sides and the c4r may be used as a mourner's car. — 0 | Misb Marietta Dailey, of Paulding. Ohio, is visiting her grand parents. Mr. and Mrs. D.W . Beery this week

I (£ br Tb« Crntnry Company.J WM service THE STORY CHAPTER I.—Barbara Devon’a wadding and departure on ber honeymoon I leaves her brother "Laurie," successful plavwrlght but somewhat Inclined to wildness, without her restraining Influence Hie theatrical associates, Rodney Bangs and Jacob Epstein, promise to "keep an aye on him." CHAPTER 11. — Laurie, Who la wetaithy, refuses to settle down t» work, announcing hie Intension of vesting and seeking "adventure.” From his window In New York ho sees the reflection of a beautiful girl in a mirror in the house opposite. CHAPTER lll.—Devon learns from the elevator boy In the girl’s hours that her name Is Mayo. Again in the mirror's reflection he sees her with a revolver and fears she means to commit suicide. He breaks into her apartment and. winning her eowflilence. Induces her to lunch with him, though sim warns him of "danger." | ■ — I ’ This was no time for the nonsense ■ that he loved to talk. One doesn’t rescue a lady from suicide and then 1 try to divert her mind with Innocent prattle. One gives her a decent time to pull herself together, and then, with tact and sympathy, one gets to the ■ roots of her trouble, if one can, and I helps to destroy them. I>esplte his 1 limited experience with drama off the stage, larurfe knew this. Because be was very young and very much in earnest, and was talking to a young thing like himself, though in that hour she -seemed so much older, he instinctively found the right way to approach the roots. ■ They had finished breakfast, and lie had asked and received permission to smoke. When he had lighted his cigarette and exhaled his first satisfying puff of smoke, not in rings this time, he took the cigarette from his mouth, I and with his eyes .on its blazing end ' expressed his thought with stark simplicity. 1 “Wnen we were over In your studio " he said. “I admitted that twice in nj fffe I had tried to—make away wft> myself. Only two other persons In the world know that, but I'd like to tell you about it, if you don't mind.” She looked at him. There were strange things In the look, things that thrilled him, and other things he subconsciously resented, without understanding why. When she spoke there was a more personal note In her voice than it had yet held. “You?” she asked; and she added almost lightly, “That seems absurd." , “I know.” T.aurie spoke with tha new humility he had found only today. “You Qilnk that because I'm so tuwWD'mt l *'* ~it. <r t ■ - *•< •Mvefb tor tnat. But—you’re young, too.” , ! He was looking straight at her as he spoke. Her eyes, e little hard and . challenging, then dropped. “That’s different,” she muttered. I He nodded. I "I know the causes were different enough,” he agreed. “But the feeling hack of them, that pushes one up 1 against such a proposition, must be s pretty much the same sort of thing. Anyway, It makes me understand; t and T consider that It gives me a claim on you, and the privilege of trying tojielp yon.” I Her eyes were still cast down, and suddenly she flushed, a strange, dark flush that looked out of place on the 1 pure whiteness of her skin. She had 1 the exaggerated but wholesome pallor of skin that often goes with reddish hair and red-hrown eyes. It does not lend itself becomingly to flushes, and this deep flush lingered, an unwelcome visitor, throughout her muttered, almost ungracious words. “Oh. pleas? don't talk about It,” she said, brusquely. “It's no use. I know you mean to be kind, but you can't do anything.” | "Oh, but that's Just where you’re wrong.” Laurie spoke with a cheerI ful assurance he did not feel. "If I hadn’t been there myself, l'd talk all sorts of twaddle to you. and do more harm than good; and I’d probably let you go on thinking you were facing a trouble that nn one could help. Instead of that, you and I are going to hold your bugaboo up to the light, and see Just what It Is and how small It Is. And then—” he smiled at her— I "we’re going to get rid of it together.” 1 She echoed his words, vaguely, as If not knowing quite what to say. , “Get rid of It?” “Yes. Tell me what it Is. and TH show yen how it can be downed.” She pushed back her chair, as if anxious to put a greater distance between thetfi. "No,” she exclatfaed, nervously, “it’s impossible; I can’t talk about ' Then, !♦ an obvious effort to side-track the issue, "You said you mp.ttj to tell me about your—expe-

. — I rfehce?' -I dO . but It Isn't a nice story. Fortunately. ft won't take long. » * spoke reluctantly. It was not W hook two such memories out ofthe darkest pool of hla life and hold them up to a stranger. “Oh, I wax a young Idiot," he rushed ou. "and I suppose I hadn’t the proper start off. At least I like to think there’s some excuse for me. My father and mother died when 1 was in knickerbockers, and I grew up doing very much as I pleased. I-m*de a bad job of It. Beflsre I was twentyone I was expelled from college and I hnd worked up a pretty black reputation, Then I gambled and lost a lot of money I didn't have, and it began to look as If about the only safe place for me was the family vault. "I made two efforts to got there. The first tlmp a wise old doctor stopped me and never told any one about it. The second time one of my churns took a hand tn the game, don't know why they did It. I don t suppose either my pel of the doctor thought 1 was worth saving But they talked to me like Dutch uneles. and my chnm kept at It till I gave him my word that I’d never attempt anything of the sort again.” "You were just an unhappy hoy." she said, as If thinking aloud, "with all life before you and many friends to back you up.” "And you.” he suggested, "are just an unhappy girl with all life before you. I don’t know anything about your friends, but I'll wager you've got a Igt of them.” She shook her head. "Not one," she said, slowly. “I mean, not one I dare to call on, now.” "I like that! You’ve got me to call on, right here.” This time she really smiled at him. It was a pathetic little smile, but both Ups and eyes took part in It. He waited, but she said no more. He began to fear that his confidence had been.given to ho purpose. Evidently she had no intention of making a confession In return. He resumed his attack from a new angle. “You’ve been disappointed In something or some one,” he said. “Oh," as she made a gesture, "don't think I’m belittling It! I know It was something big. But the finish you chose wasn’t meant to be, or it would have come off. You see that don’t you? The very sun In Its course took pains to show you to me in time to stop IL That means something, Miss Mayo.” She seemed slightly startled. "It is Miss Mayo, isn’t It? That's the name the elevator boy gave me, yesterday." "It will do." She spoke absently, already on the trail of another thought. Suddenly she caught It “Then you brought the basket, or sent it?” she cried. "It was you! How dared you f” She had half risen from her chair. Bending across the table, he gently pushed her back into It (TO HE CO ATI M EID 0 HOSPITAL NOTES Mrs. Robert Fravel. of Muncie, tin derwent a tonsil operation at the Adams County Memorial Hospital thimorning.

Jr ’ ■ _ ...... ; . I 4 In other words, gasolim- for 300 cars was required in 1895, while gasoline for 21.000,000 cars was required in 1925. It was the responsibility of the petroleum industry to 1 ■ make the available crude yield these requirements. g Success in supplying this spectacular growth in demand for gasoline necessitated an adaptability which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has slxrwn to an extraordinary 1 degree. 1 It was the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) which dts- . I covered and developed processes to double the yield of gasoline from every barrel of crude. 11 1 These discoveries, passed on to competitors, were success3 ful in making a diminishing supply of crude per car, meet r, an increasing demand for gasoline. a s Tremendous toil, endless experimentation, tireless research —on the part of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) organization—made this condition possible. a Th? Standard Oil Company (Indiana) always has worked with its original purpose uppermost—that of meeting the , needs of the people of the Middle West with the best petroleum products that science and money and skill can produce. This organization has worked with the idea tliat its own profit must be a secondary and inevitable result of accomplishment. Through the years the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has endeavored to develop a quick perception of the needs of the hour—to keep in tune with the times. It has been alert to kef p in step witli shifting and changing conditions. It has tried always to be keenly aware of new requirements, and it has thrown all its resources of mind and money into the task of meeting them. This conscious effort on the part of tire Standard Oil , Company (Indiana) to anticipate and satisfy the changing needs 0f me people has been backed by the hearty coopera- " s .'9.000 employes, without which all its effort 1 must have failed. i, ever y element in the success -of tire Standard Oil company (Indiana) must be traced uftunately to its great . u 0 I klrg fOTCe ~9* employes.
