JDo you suppose they have heard of Jackson’s deal way out there? We are a sentimental and some times silly race of people. Colonel Lindbergh has received 3,500,000 letters and more than a hundred thousand telegrams since he made his flight from New York to Paris. Three of the letters urged him to try to fly to the moon. Charles Hughes says that President Coolidge will be renominated and elected. Now thats settled, lets get down to business. Os course remembering that Mr. Hughes once guessed similarly for himself there may be some in doubt as to both predictions and it may still be necessary to go ahead with primaries, conventions and elections. The resurfacing of Winchester stree:, the addition of ornamental lights and the rounding of the corners at Five Points has so changed the appearance of that section that you will scarcely recognize it as the same place. There is an activity there which extends the business district and the new stop and go signal makes that section look quite metropolitan. Roads and bridges cost, a lot of money—your money — and require a lot more to maintain. Two things should be remembered —they should be built right and then we should ail be careful in the use of them. Fifteen ton trucks will break up any street or road and we wonder many times why they are permitted and why the state highway commission uses them. «■> - J One scarcely picks up a paper these days that he doesn't learn of a fatal airplane wreck and frequently of a number.

The Citizen's Telephone company will install $60,000 worth of underground cables to take care of their down town «lines, thus doing away wi:h unsightly poles and incidentally avoiding a lot of inconvenience and’ overhead following storms. It is a fine improvement and we are sure they will meet with no obstacles in securing the necessary right of ways

Wayne 11. Wheeler. general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League of America and recognized as the most important cog in the machinery of that organ. ization, died suddenly at the Battle 1 Creek sanitarium yesterday. He hud been ill a few days but was thought to be recovering when he suffered an attack of heart trouble and died almost instantly. You may not have agreed with Mr. Wheeler, but you will admit he has had a difficult place to fill, that he has worked con tinuously and vigorously at the job and that he held the respect of the people because of his sincerity and his ability. He was known as the father of prohibition because be was the general fn charge of the securing of the adoption of the eighteenth amendment by more than threefourths of the states in the union. He gave all of his ability for the cause in which he believed and aftei all thats the limit of one's duty in life. The Indiana law requires automobiles to come to a stop when school hacks are discharging or loading pupils. The reason for the law it apparent. It is to give the children a chance to leave or enter the but without suffering bodily harm from passing motorists. Here is a law that is not well known. School will resume in a few days, so the warning of state authorities that the law wil be enforced should prompt automo bile drivers to remember that chil dren have certain rights, one of then: being entrance and exit from school hacks without having to watch every step they make. The requirements of the law are reasonable, and every automobile driver should obey it im plicitly.

The secret of success of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) isa “secret of service” and it is an open secret. Examination quickly strips it of any mystery. This Company is not a person or small group of persons. It is literally an army of people. There are more than 29,000 employes. There are over 50,0u0 stockholders. This Companv does not belong to one generation. Its life is not limited to three score years and ten. It is older and stronger than the men who are a part of it and will endure long after they are dead. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) stands for the accumulated wisdom and experience of more than one generation of men. The directors, to whom its stewardship is given today, are building with thought for the morrow — building on the work of those who have gone before. Each succeeding generation builds upon the achievements of the past. | This continuity has necessitated efficient organization and long views. It is one of the sources of strength of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) —one of its secrets of service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana’ J is an organization of many tnousands of men and women, changing in personnel slowly and inevitably with the years 'Nit unchanging in high principle and stead- »' fast purpose. Thus it has been able to serve 30 milpeople with ever-increasing efficiency and ever-widening vision. Not by lucky J accident has it won its place in their lives. Th e great position it holds today is the result of generations of steady striving, of earnest effort. - Standard Oil Company (/ncfiana) .
