The building up of this vast estate for the public progressed more rapidly during the past three and one-half years than in the four and one-half years previous, Leiber announced. During the present administration 23,760 acres were added to the public domain, the last adition being made recently when 5.200 acres were added ! to the Brown county game preserve as | a public park. When the present administration headed by Gov. Ed Jackson took office January 1, 1125 there were but 4.473 acres of state park, divided into nine properties. Nine years ago, when the conservation was Inaugurated. Leiber said, conservation in this state was something vague and but little understood. Many people at that time could see only selfish or personal motive in the coordination of several independent state offices into the department, Lieber said. To day it is generally accepted. Leiber points out, in saying six main divisions do a better job of handling the conservation interests of Indiana than twenty-three board, commissions and offices did working disconnectedly. o Husband Turns Burglar To Aid Wife Indianapolis, March 26—(U.R)—A 19-year-o.d’ husband sat in city prison today, and detailed to police how unemployment forced him to turn burglar in order that he might obtain funds to care for his wife during an impending visit of the stork. Noble Agnew, the alleged burglar, was arrested by Lieut. Roy Pope. ' ope said he w’as forced to beat Agnew to “the draw,’’ before the latter submitted. Agnew was arrested "he Pope became suspioious of him standing in a dark spot. The officer said Agnew told him he was waiting ,° rob the first pedestrian who came by. » - British Steamer Missing Following S. 0. S. Signals Honolulu, T.

March 26 — (U.R)—Preparations are being made in the senate to police the coming presidential election J Chairman Nye of the Teapot Dome committee announced today he will aeon introduce a resolution authorizing appointment of a special commit-. tee to keep check on candidates ex penditunes, The matter has been discussed by the various political interests in the senate and no opposition is expected to Nye’s resolution. Because of revelations made in the oil scandal investigation, the resold-1 tion will propose greater powers and i more extensive surveillance than was undertaken by the Borah committee in 1924 and the Kenyon committee in 1902. The Teapot Dome disclosures are causing considerable worry to treas- 1 urers of both political parties and to all the candidates. At this very time whe more money is needed, wealthy contributors are becoming shy about advancing funds. They fear their' c; ntributions will subject them to senatorial investigation The policing committee probably will be composed of two Republican.-, two Democrats and Senator Shipstead, Farmer-Laborite. — —o — MEXICAN BANDITS ESCAPE IN HILLS Mexico City, March 26—(U.R) —Despite a diligent search through the mountainous regions, no trace had been found today of the 50 bandits who held up 200 persons on the Puebla highway and escaped after stripping them of money and jewels. American Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow narrowly avoided being in the holdup He passed the scene a few hours l>efore the robbery' and later drove by in time to see soldiers chasing the bandits. The holdup occurred at a turn on the I’uebla road about 27 miles from the capital The bandits apparently were after the payroll of the National Highway Commission, which carried approximately 100,000 pesos. They attacked the pay car, but the five guards fought off tihe badits. ,An assistant paymaster was injured and one of ’the guards was shot by the bandits. The bandits stripped the 200 persons of their jewels and took all the belongings in the tourists’motor cars. All the loot was placed in big bundles and carried back into the hills. o * HOSPITAL NOTES * Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Lautenschleger Decatur route eight, are the parents of a girl baby, which was born Sunday, at the Adams County Memorial [ hospital.

100 Pounds Os Dynamite Rolls Down Hill With Auto; Fails To Explode Noblesville, Ind., March 26—(U.R)— I Despite its being hurled down a 16 foot embankment and jumbled up in ' the werckage cf ah automobile, 100 pounds of dynamite failed to explode today, and Silas Devaney crawled from I the wreckage of his car, almost uninjured. Devaney, a road superintendent, was i hauling the dynamite in his automobile when a front axle of the car broke. The machine hurtled from the road and crashed into a 16-fjot deep ditch. “I thought it was over,” Devaney said, “when the machine wrecked, but she didn’t explode.” o CHICAGO DOG POUND FILLED WITH CANNIES; 125,000 AT LARGE Chicago, 111 —(INS)— Chicago is the "Dog Capital of the World.” More than 125,000 homeless canines ! are loaming the streets of the city, ac--1 cording tp a statement of the city I council health committee. Yellow dogs and brown dogs and all | sorts o[ dogs are taken in by the thousands by dog catchers and still the canine population increases, according to Dr. Kegel, health commissioner. The result is a problem for the city authorities. They don’t want to be put in the position of declaring war on man’s best friend, and yet the flood of dogs that pours in makes it imperative that something should be done about something. - Muzzling orders have been issued, and not enforced. There are too many muzzles to cover, and too many dogs that haven’t any homes. There is a dog tax of $3 but that is difficult to enforce, with so many dogs. It would take an army of dog catchers to keep up with the influx, and Chicago’s canines are apparently not advocates of

birth control or race suicide. The dog pound is jammed with inhabitants night and day because of a custom whereby animals that are taken in are not killed for three days. This rule was adopted in order to give persons an opportunity to find and identify their dogs at the pound. It seems likely, however, that in the I future dogs will be killed immediately after they are taken in. The problem of so large a number of “strays” is increasingly serious, according to the health authorities. The danger of a wide scoflrge of rabies among those 125.000 homeless dogs is grave. Quick police action was all that prevented a sudden spread of rabies when infected dogs ran loose foaming and snapping. o • According to naturalists the blow of a lion’s claw is the most powerful that any animal can deliver.

Stomach Fine,. Back-Ache Gone Tells How Her Indigestion and Kidney Pains Were Ended. Only those who have suffered agony for years with stomach or kidney trouble, can realize how won- ■ derful it felt to Mrs. Edna Coffelt, i 351 Gertrude St., Kendallville, Ind., to be entirely rid qf these painful ailments. She says: “For five years I had a bad case of ’ stomach trouble. Food would not digest properly and the gas and bloating after meals was almost unbearable. I was subject to frequent bilious attacks and dizzy spells, and was weak and nervous all the time. Night brought no relief because my kidneys were disordered and got me up several times. My back ached terribly, and I had severe pains in my left side. I tried a great many medicines, but my first and only relief came when I began taking Viiina. I felt better right from the first few doses. Soon the awful stomach gas and pains stopped and my appetite picked up. Now I eat heartily without the least distress. Viuna also relieved my kidney trouble promptly. I The back-ache has gone, and my sleep is not disturbed any more. The . pain in my side has vanished and so have the biliousness and dizziness. • My skin has cleared up and I look and feel better today than I have for - years. Viuna surely deserves all the credit for my new-found health and strength, and I heartily reqpmmend it to sick folks.” 1 Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purities . the blood, clears the skin, restores appe--1 tite and digestion,and brings new strength i and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you’re not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be rer funded. $1 at druggists or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS Il is a violation of the City Ordinance to rake grass or other material into the streets. In the spring clean-up do not place rubbish or debris in the street. If you can't put it in the alley and burn it. call a dray and haul it away. Help keep the streets clean. City Street Department The Modern Philosophy of Business In earlier times the philosophy of business was summed up in the phrase, “Business is business.” Today men realize that it is something more. According to the modem philosophy, business is service, profit-paying service-—for there is nothing • sentimental in the modern definition. The old philosophy was inadequate, one-sided, short-sighted. It ignored the fact that there are two sides to every transaction and that both sides must be benefited in any successful transaction. It is now recognized that, unless there be in every transaction a spirit of cooperation, a spirit of “live and let live," a well-considered intention to render a service, business cannot endure and prosper. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is thoroughly devoted to these modem principles. How rigidly it adheres to them in word and deed, the public is well able to decide. The people of the Middle West have good opportunity to judge the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Its products are products that are purchased often —in comparatively small quantities. They are apt to be purchased by the same customers in widely 'scattered places. If these products were not uniform—if they were to vary in quality—it would be discovered immediately. Each purchase carries the reputation of the Company with it. More than four thousand Standard Oil Service Stations cover the ten states of the Middle West. They make it possible for the Company to serve its customers directly. Every week i t comes into direct contact with the public many thousands of times. These frequent meetings give the people opportunity to judge of its sincerity and ability. In every community this Company is a local institution. The druggist on the comer and the doctor up the street own its stock. The man in the next block has charge of one of its Service Stations. Owners and workers and customers are friends and neighbors. The people of the Middle West know it intimately. Millions of purchases and countless contacts over • a long period of years have built the reputation for dependability of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). In every community in the Middle West it enjoys a friendship and a confidence that are priceless. Its success has been success in serving.
