SIDENER NAMES BUSINESS CRIMES BEFORE ROTARIANS Indianapolis Man Speaks inPlain Terms of Questionable Methods, By United Press ST. LOUIS. Mo.. June 20.—Business ethics and the influence of the individual Rotarians in bringing about honest business methods were discussed at the morning session today of Rotary international at the Coliseum. Those who spoke were Merl Sidener of Indianapolis, a member of the vigilance committee of the Advertising Clubs of the World; Sidney W. Pascal of London; Raymond Havens of Kansas City, president of Rotary international; Sherman Rogers of New York, known as the “lumber-jack orator" and Bert Scribner of Pueblo. Colo., head of Rotary business committee. Speaks in Plain Terms

Sneak thieves, forgers, embezzlers, plain burglars and yeggmen of business were dealt with in plain terms by Sidener. “First, let us look at the sneak' thief business,” he said. “Here is his identification card. It indicates he picks all available pockets while crowding his victims with the ‘busi-ness-is-business’ fallacy. The space for the identifying photographs is left blank on this card. And if, perchance, the face of the offender which comes to your mind in the face you see in the mirror when you shave —take the matter seriously and try to reform him. Inefficiency in business. slow turn-over, high cost of production and selling, failure to use modem methods —these are the practices of the sneak thief. Business Forgery “The next offender is the forger, who disposes of merchandise by means of forged trade names. The manufacturer or distributor who misbrands or mislabels merchandise Is guilty of business forgery. The adulteration of commodities, the substituting of the products of one manufacturer for another by imitation, these are merly steps in business forgery. “Here is the embezzler who embezzles money held in trust by means of exorbitant or concealed profits. Following him is the burglar who robs the business of competitors through various tricks of unfair competition.

Commercial Bribery “The outstanding offense under this classification is commercial bribery—the paying of commissions in money or other things of value to employes of customers for the purpose of influencing their buying power, bonuses to jobbers and retail salesmen, false and misleading advertising—even white lies in advertising are phases of business burglary. “And finally there is the yegg—who blows up the reputation of competitors by false reports and destroys good will. The making of false statements concerning competitors and their products Is the best weapon of the yegg. “Rotary international gave the world a great inspirational doctrine when it formulated the code of ethics But Rotary international made a constructive contribution to business as an institution when it devises a practical way of transforming those principles into action by means of the business methods committee.” LOCAL MAN BUYS POWER SITE NEAR SHELBYVILLE C. C. Shipp Purchases Flatrock Mill for Water Development. Clarence C. Shipp of C. C.

HERE IS THE FAMOUS HANNEFORD FAMILY, ALL DRESSED UP FOR THEIR CIRCUS ACT AT THE LYRIC THIS WEEK. THE CLOWN OF THE FAMILY IS GEORGE. HE IS FOUND ON THE EXTREME RIGHT.

After many years in the sawdust rings of this country and Europe, the Hanneford family, famous circus bareback riders, are experiencing their first season in vaudeville. They are headlining this week's bill at the Tjyric. George Hanneford. a riding clown, heads the act, having stepped into the shoes of his brother, “Poodles," who recently signed a contract with Joe Schenck, husband of

V ® •a • The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) developed 1 IbS new me fhods of handling its business. Many of these are applied to administration inside the organization, —as for instance, the Industrial Relations Plan, the Annuity Plan, and the Stock Purchasing Plan, all of which have resulted in bringing the Company and its employes closer together. Other methods have expanded the Company’s activities in new directions, —as for instance, in the development of a chain of service stations located at convenient points throughout the ten Middle Western states where the motorist may secure his requirements of fuel and oil in such quantities as he may need. This is but one of the many improvements which the Company has adopted to better the service which it is rendering the people of the Middle West All these methods tend to hold down prices. This is recognized in a recent article in Petroleum Age which says, “No other product or power of like value, obtained at such expense and under such hazardous conditions, is furnished the people at such reasonable prices at all points of the country, as oil and its products. ” In the petroleum industry the real problem of the hour is service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is continually fitting new service to new possibilities and adapting its established service to meet new conditions. This policy makes for prosperous business, without which no nation can hope for general prosperity. As the demand for petroleum products increases, it will be found that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has put itself, by progressive development of new possibilities, in a position to give a service commensurate with the increasing demand. \ Standard Oil Company {lndiana) 910 So.

Circus life is a hard life,

but a healthy one. And, say it's much harder to please vaudeville patrons than the ones who go to a circus.” Four beautiful horses are used by the Hannefords in their vaudeville turrd They are cared for by a special groom, and nothing is overlooked to assure their comfort and well-being. One of the animals is twenty-five years old. but shows no signs of growing old and is in perfect physical condition. “You know our family had the first

SUNDAY SCHOOL INTEREST URGED Speakers Say Every Person Has Place in Work, “Every soul has some gift of God that can be used for others,” declared Mrs .Florence Canine before the adult sectional conference of the Indiana State Sunday school convention at Roberts Park Church. Mrs. Canine said there are three kinds of adult classes, the active charted classes, the ought-to-be classes and the has-beens. Marion Lawrence of Chicago, general secretary of the International Sunday School Council of Religious Education, pleaded for more consideration for the home department of the Sunday school.

to put big trees and rocks in the road to block the wagons so they could see the animals and the performers. In many parts of the country the Irish had never seen an elephant. "They were very skeptical about it, and didn’t think it was real. On one occasion when the circus wagons reached the show lot there seemed to be something wrong with the old elephant we had. It acted In a most peculiar and sinister manner. On investigation we found that it had been stuck full of pins. The natives had used this method to discover for themselves whether the huge beast was real or a fake. Yurka and Byington to Exchange Roles on Thursday Immediately following the Wednesday night performance of “Captain Applejack” at the Murat Theater. Blanche Ytfrka, who has the leading feminine role In the play, will be transferred to the Cox theater in Cincinnati and Spring Byington, who has circus that ever visited Ireland," George said, and it was a great cur-

Orloff Trio Plays Musical Setting

An added interest to the production of “Captain Applejack,” the comedy being presented by the Stuart Walker Company at the Murat this week, in celebration of the one hundredth week anniversary, is the appearance of the Orloff Trio, Jean Orloff, violinist, Lenora Coffin, pianist and Genieve Hughel, violoncellist giving a program fifteen minutes before each performance from one of the upper boxes in the theater, as w-ell as supplying interesting entre’ acte music during the intermissions. The Orloff Trio have long been identified with the artistic forces of the Stuart Walker Company, and the many patrons of the Repertoire Com-

iosity there. The country people used the principal role in the Cincinnati production, w-ill be brought here in time to open in Miss Yurka’s part at the Thursday matinee. Such an exchange of players from one city to another on such short notice is decidedly unique and unusual and as may be readily imagined is dependent for success upon the well trained and evenly balanced cast3 in both cities. It is probable that later In the season Walker will transfer entire casts from one city to the other during each week. Certain it is that in tho future there will be a frequent changing around of leading characters in the various plays. Such a plan will work greatly tc the ffer.efit of theater-goers of both this city and Cincinnati, as It will practically enable the playgoer to select his own casts. Wednesday night will mark the
