Tiie people of the United States use forty tons of postage stamps a week, much of which could be saved if we paid cash oftener. “Will R. Woods opposes Filipino independence” says a headline. How does he stand on American independence? Thats more important. Talk about speed, they claim now to have an airplane which will travel three hundred miles an hour. That would mean that a trip from New io Paris would require but twelve hours and thats what will be happening one of these days, sure as you re living. “June wedding beautiful” is a headline we freq'uently notice and we can't help wondering whether such an event is really any “beautifuler” than’ a similar event in July, August or any!, other month. When properly staged ' < a wedding is usually a stunt worth , seeing. < Lindy's success has changed the minds of thousands of boys who had determined on being locomotive engineers, cowboys or editors, but remember boys that it was not only that this youngster did something no one had accomplished before him, he also was wise enough to modestly sit back and let the world do the talking and boosting. The Cloverleaf Creameries handled 526 cars, in and out, from their Decatur plant during the year 1926, according to the official figures just given out, indicating to some degree how important an institution they are fpr this community. It requires a lot of help to handle this amount of material and in addition to this they pay out to farmers daily, a large sum for butterfat. j Congratulations to the automobil ■ drivers for the care being used to avoid accidents. Something less than a million cars traveled around this section yesterday with no serious results and only a very few minor accidents. Tha’s being careful' and we really believe folks are trying their best to prevent collisions, interference witli railroad traffic and filling the ditches with broken cars and bones. Andrew Mellon, secretary of the treasury, owner of vast aluminum and other business interests, recently refused $70,000,000 for one of his properties, declaring that while it was a very good price he did not care to be bothered with reinvesting the money. The returns probably exceed considerably the interest rates on government bonds which he could so easily obtain. Several people have complained to us that they are tired of reading about Lindbergh and they hope now that he is home, safe and sound, there will be something new. We hope we are not done printing news about “Lindy” for we believe he has the opportunity and the ability to place this count ry at the head of the wot Id in aviation and anyway we are sure there is a better effect in publishing the Lindbergh news than there was in the months of murder, scandal, storm and wreck happenings. Mrs. Lindbergh, mother of the hero, got a great tin ill from the reception of her brave sou but especially in

Washington where the president and others of fame, outdid themselves to be nice to her. During the ten years she lived in the capitol when her husband was a congressman, site was frequently snubbed and by the same people w ho were so anxious hist week to be nice to her. Congressman Lindbergh was a non partisan league worker and booster and consequently stood badly with the powers that were in Washington at that time. It must have been very gratifying therefore tor tiie widow and mother to seu the world ut the feet of her brilliant son. Farmers living along Stale Road 27 put yourself in the position of the farmers over in Ohio, where every farm along a state road is taxed for part of the cost of road improvements because tiie farms along an improved road do get the most benefit from the improvement. The state highway commission of Indiana is very liberal when it asks no more of the farmers than to move their fence back when a road is to be widened for certain improvements. Take the case of Clinton street in Fort Wayne which is to be widened for certain improvements. The abutting property owners are compelled to cut off part of their big buildings and bear part of the expense in addition to losing the space. There are a few farmers between Berne and Monroe who are holding back on giving up their ten-foot strip necessary for making Road 27 a sixtyfoot highway. A little reflection and reconsideration should convince them that they have nothing to gain and much to lose by waiting until their land is condemned. — Adams County Witness. o » TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY + 11 fr From the Dally Democrat File ♦ fr Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦ »+++*+*++**+**** July 20 —Barn cn the Joseph Mann < faun struck by lightning and two val- I liable horses killed. 1 Mis.

Part of the state honors have thus been conferred to this regional. There are twelve re-! gionals in the state. The winners in the memory contest held the first part of last week were Edward Balser, first, of Franklin, Johnson county, and Helen Filgiano, second, of Valparaiso, Porter county. The State Sunday school convention will be held next year at Logansport and it is hoped that a large number of delegates from Decatur will attend, and that the local Sunday schools will work up a greater interest in the memory and story telling contest in the ensuing year. o It was a custom at wedding, a great many years ago, to craw a thread from the clothes c, beta the bride and bridegroom and to tie these threads together during t'.e ceremony.

TIIE ADAMS COUNTY C. T. A. TOUR It whs the tour of the C. T. A. Os Adams county upon its way, That caused the people to stand and gaze And wonder what such a parade displays. From west of Peterson down to Berne, t he mile-long procession its way did turn; The tourists gathering tin appetite For the basket-dinner which was a delight. ’t he program commenced al the Bicbrich stead Where inspection of farm mechanics led. The Kreulzman farm was the next to go, /Where mechanical milking was mainly the show. The visit :d the Mazelin home was third. Where Maxine, the prize of the Mazelin herd I he secoml best Holstein of Hoosier sate. Was viewed and photographed up-to-date. Now Price, the tester, in his “lizzie” coupe. Led the way of Ihe tired and hungry gloup, To C. W. R. Schwartz's apple grove, Where willing ladies were soon on the move. The baskets were emptied, the victuals spread. On tables long shady trees overhead. Though an enormous amount of food was there, I he crowd of three hundred left the tables bare. The speakers at noon and at other events, Were. Williams, Beeson, and Mr. Pence, And Busche and Tyndall and don' forget now That little Davy Moser praised his dad's Jersey com. One afternoon session Mas at Schwartz, Jacob J., The subject, sweet clover and alfalfa hay. The next and last stop al the Noah Rich farm, Where a vicious bull's penned so he does no harm. So next year don't stand and stare and wonder, “Cause doing that is an awful blunder; But jump on Old Lizzie and spend the day With the Adams County C. T. A. —D. 1). Mazelin.

Who Uses Oil! Who uses oil? Everybody! The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) supplies products of petroleum used—directly or indirectly —by every one of the 30 million people of the Middle West. The two major products of oil—gasoline and lubricating oil —are essential to motor transportation, to industry and to commerce. In addition to the major products of petroleum there are hundreds of by-products which till a great variety of needs and, by eliminating waste, help to make possible the low price of the major products. The man who rides over an asphalt road—the woman who oils her sewing machine —is using a product of petroleum. The wheels that are busily whirring in factories throughout the land, manufacturing the necessities and luxuries of life, must be lubricated. Oil plays its part in the manufacture and distribution of practically all the products in use today —the food we eat—the clothes we wear —the houses in which we live. As a nation we move on oil. Wheels on our railroads —cars —trucks —are lubricated by the products of petroleum. Epgifies —in millions of automobiles, trucks and tractors—are fed the products of oil. In manufacturing petroleum, products for the people of the Middle West, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is helping to unite the nation, socially and industrially. The passenger miles done last year by automobiles has been estimated at 240 billion. That means travel. Motorists learning to know their own country. People from one section visiting other sections. An interchange of people in the ten states of the Middle West. Horizons widened--sympathies broadened —the fabric of our national life more closely knit together. Industrially the Standard Oil Company (Indiana is helping to unite the nation. Gasoline and oil bnng the city to the country and the country to the city • At the end of 1926 there were 4,850,000 farmerowned automobiles registered. In addition there were the motor trucks which bring the farm close to the markets, benefiting farmer, merchant ann general consumer. Providing petroleum products for the people of the Middle West is a big job made up of countless small ones —each of which must be performed witn the same accuracy and whole-hearted effort, me energy and time of 29,000 men and women, unitea by a common loyalty and enthusiasm, are required to carry on the work of the Standard Oil Company e (Indiana). Conscious of the greatness of ths task, yet mindful of the importance of every detail, this great army of workers is daily putting into action tru Standard Oil Company (Indiana) creed of service.
