Ing in such away as to conserve the ’ greatest amount of space, says M. E. 1 Noblet, secretary of the Hoosier State i Automobile Asociation, who further I Points out that the smaller towns i also have their requirements with ref- t erence to parking space. < “The business districts of both I , small and large communities offer a t problem in the matter ot parking a space that, while not entirely solvable by a changed attitude, can be rendered less acute and difficult by the dis- t play of courtesy on the part of the ’ average motorist,” says Mr. Noblet. a “Slovenly parking is a mark of sei- v fishness that is getting to be more a and more emphatic as the motor car o tomes into greater and greater use. t “There is very little excuse for it, a under any circumstances. It may v take more time to drive into a space r in such away as to use no more of it than is absolutely necessary, dnit certainly it is time well spent. 1 “It seems high time that the aver- 1 age driver began to look into his 1 parking technique. If he is guilty of * carelessness or selfishness, he will F have no difficulty in recognizing his a faults if he will but take the trouble >' to conduct a self-inventory. Does he take more than his rightful share of the available space? In parallel park- 11 ing, does he leave the rear of the car a so far from the curb that hacking into 1 the space behind is impossible? The a answer to these and similar questions P is an unequivocal ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ “There is room for improvement in * parking courtesy and it is up to the individual car owner to correct his own attitude in this vital respect." ° A trip to the various factories of a this city will convince you that what- a ever conditions are elsewhere, they v are alright here industrially. The General Electric plant is turning out 9.500 motors a week, with four hun- ' dred on the pay roll and with orders " which will keep them going at this a clip for several months, the surplus 11 being the lowest in years. The De- 1 catur Castings company is going full tilt with nearly two hundred employed, the Krick-Tyndall company is hav- f ing a good season, the Holland-St. f Louis Sugar plant has a large force , . s at work on improvements, the Mutschler Packing Company is moving along nicely, the Cloverleaf Creamery , is enjoying a fine run, the Waring j Glove Company is running steadily, the Lafountaine Handle Company Is receiving orders daily, while the De- 1 catur Cooperage, the Schafer Com- 1 patty, Burdge-Larson, Adams County , Lumber Company, cement plants and various other institutions here are all moving ahead nicely. We are fortunate here and should appreciate it. Get pessimism out ot your head and go after your share of business. Its here if you want it. We do hot believe you need be fearful of results in the coming election. Both the leading candidates for president are men of high Ideals and great ability. Neither ot them will purposely do any thing to injure the country they love, neither will be

TODAY’S CHUCKLE St. Louis. Mo., July 10 —(U.K)— Loud snoring does uot constitute grounds for divorce, Judge Hall ruled in the suit brought against ‘ her husband by Mrs. Edward Reith. false to his trust. We like Al Smith because of his candor, his plain old fashioned Jeffersonian democracy, his ability to get things done. If elected president he will make progress for this nation in many ways. He is the friend of capitol and labor and is HONEST always. Study his record. Attention is called by "Hard Boiled” to the fact that automobile drivers in Decatur are again becoming so careless as to he dangerous. Many of | them, it is claimed run the lights, fail . to stop at the signs, violate the speed | ordinance, operate their cars with mufflers open and otherwise make themselves liable. There is no desire on the part of officials to use their authority unless forced to do so but cooperation on the part of the drive’s of cars will aid them greatly. It may take action to secure that. Governor Al Smith is not only wise but he is prompt. When William Settle of the Indiana Farm Bureau wired him for an expression as to the farm situation, he came back immediately with a straight forward re-1 ply that if elected president he would | not wait for his inauguration but I would immediately call a conference i of farm leaders to aid him in working out a program that will give aid to the agriculturists. He means it and can be depended upon. Kansas has a great wheat crop • but as usual the price is low, 31.10, J with indications that it will drop lower as the crop is rushed to market. It i would certainly be beneficial if by some means the farmer could draw | . on his crop but retain sufficient interest therein that he could have the advantage of the increased price i which is sure to come after the early I market rush is over. It is your duty as a good citizen to follow the coming campaign, study the issues, listen to discusions, think it out and then —to VOTE. You have the full and free right to vote as you please or as you feel is best for you , and yours, present and future, but you have no right to refuse to vote. Chairman W’orks of the republican national committee is not in favor of any radical farm measures and believes the average farmer can get ; along very well if he works hard 1 enough. Perhaps thats why he doesn't care to make farm relief an issue of the campaign. I Word is being received from many old timers that they will be here for i Old Home W’eek and don't think for a moment it is not going to surpass any celebration ever given here. It will and you should get into it. We complain some about the weather but after all the crops advanced more the past ten days than during all the weeks before that this summer. It takes warm days and nights to make corn and oats and wheat. Mrs. Clem Shaver is not getting much credit even from the enemies of Governor Smith for her action in denouncing her husband’s candidate. It smacks too much of unfaithfulness. All together now tor a big celebration' of Old Home Week, September 10th to 15th. o " — *♦♦****•••♦♦♦ • TWENTY YEARS AGO * • ♦ * From the Dally Democrat File • ♦ Twenty Year* Ago Today • *«***«*V*«*«7 July 10—Senator Clayton, of Alabma made permanent chairman of Democi at national convention.

Yl J Dodge Brothers Standard Six is the fastest car, T with the fastest pick-up, under a thousand dollars. HOWEVER * That is only HALF the story. The IMPORTANT ’ ’ point is that this exceptional speed is made practical by Dodge ruggedness of chassis and body construction OIIIIKJ Might succeed in building a car at this price with equal SPEED, but to do so successfully they would also have to build a car with equal STURDINESS. AIWR That is where Dodge Brothers, with years of experience in building a dependable low-cost product, are years ahead of the field ~ . . lot Can buy the Standard Six knowing that it is not only the fastest car in its class but the sturdiest—and the one is every bit as important as the other. *875 COVPE F. 0.8.

FORESEES WAR AS RESULT OF OIL STRUGGLE By Mauritz A Hallgren (U P, Staff Correspondent 1 Washington. -4U.R)- War between the United States and Great Britain as a result of the world wide struggle over petroleum reserves "is probable according to “We Fight for Oil. a bo. k by Ludwell Denny. Washington journalist and petroleum authority, which will be published tomorrow by Knopf. Thus far American oil Interests have been beaten by their British rivals in the hitter and ominous race to gain control of the known oil supplies of the world, the writer says. The British interests, aided by the London govern merit, have obtained control of most of the oil fields outside of the United States. • Denny, a former United Press cor i respondent and now on the editorial 1 staff' of the Scripps-Howard Alliance, declares that a primary factor in * America's apparent defeat has been the wastage of petroleum reserves in Ihe United States. This wastage he asserts, has been partly due to the invasion of American fields by British companies, who, in their turn, refuse 1 to let American companied enter Bri-tish-controlled fields. Conservation of American oil supplies, Denny insists, is being “blocked by $11,000.000,0W) of private capital ' controlling the industry,” The industry as a whole in this country refuses to submit to any sort of government regulation for the purpose of conserving American supplies, even though American 1 esources are fast running out and the day is approaching when “we shall be dependent in peach and war on foreign resources.” “Oil Shortafle Near” “An American oil shortage Is near" the author warns, quoting the Coolidge | Conservation Board. "What we have I left is* being wasted by competitive, piedatory private industry.” "We Fight for Oil” reviews conflict i between the Royal Dutch Shell and other British forces, led by Sir Henri | Iteterding, and the American Standard , Oil foroes. led by the Rockefellers. These private interests are not alone concerned the writer declares; “the British government is directly involved.” and "to meet the emergency the Washington government exerts a ‘strong’ policy." Denny believes “the danger point will be reached when near-shortage drives .prices upward, and American autemobile iVwneis are told the British have cornered most of the world supply. "What will happen when the enraged force of public opinion is added to the commercial motives of the oil companies and the defense incentives of the government?” he continues. "Then the Ku Kluxers and Mayor Thompsons may find a hate crusade crying for their 'hundred per cent' leadership. "War is Probable” • "The danger can not be removed by denying its existence. Peace can not be maintained by repeating the lie that war between Great Britain and the United States is impossible.* “War is possible. War is probable I unless the two empires seel: through mutual sacrifice to reconcile their
