THE SOB SQUAD. Remember the sob sisters who, three years ago sane; a little song entitled. '"I didn't raife my boy to be a soldier?" Now they want to raise Mm to be a sentry in every nook and corner )f the srlobe. chasing wild men In Borneo and catfish in th Adriatic. They seem to have a great life, these sob sisters, and they don't weaken In their fool schemes.
THE EVER-EFFICIENT PANSY. The people of this country, making: all allowances 'or red tape, have not been impressed with the efficiency -f the war department in correctly informing parents of tilled and wounded soldiers in France as to their ultimate fate. Tt. has come to be scandalous. This newpaper has recorded many such occurrences. The Noor case at Indiana Hartoor Is one of many. Here is another dispatch: TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April IS. Mrs. W. E. Axe. of this city, has received word from the war department that Albert Mackev Oliver, her son, was killed in action in France in July, 191SIt will soon be a year since that boy was killed, yet his parents didn'T know five months after the armistice was signed whether he was d"ad or alive. It is quite a tribute to our dandy little secretary of war who once thanked God we were unprepared for war. It was he who was praised for his efficiency by President Wilson, yet the casualty lists containing hundreds of names are comine; in daily, over four months after the armistice was signed- If there was a business house In this country that conducted its affairs in such a slip-shod war it would long apo have been in tho bankruptcy courts. Today this paper received from Washington the names of ;i!rao:t rK'O boys killed in action, dead from wounds, dead from accident dead from disease, wounded severely, wounded f degree undetermined) and wounded slightly in the latest casualty list And the war ended November U. !31.
THE PIG IN THE CITY. A committe of horrified citizens recently reported to the authorities at Washington. l. C, that they had discovered a pig sty flourishing within a block of one of the public schools. Horrible! It just goes to show that nobody can tell what he will find unless he looks, r.nd it is fresh evidence of the need of clean i.p campaigns, succeeded by follow-up campaigns, snd the desirability of better and wider education in cleanliness and public health. No city is any cleaner than its dirtiest corner, for there the disease will breed which may destroy life in the fairest, quarter of town. It may be a pig sty in Washington. In New York it may be a cellar full of four rags. In Purgville it may be an old barn, or that pile of rubbish known as the "town dump." The thing is to find it, to clean it up, and then to keep it clean. Periodical cleanliness is better than none at all, but to be really efficcious, every week in the year should be cleanup week. Instead of a wild scramble to destroy what should never have been accumulated, it should mean such a wholesome, cleanly, orderly keeping of bodies and houses and yards as ill bring no unpleasant accumulations at any time. LET US HOPE SO. A Missouri democrat who recently delivered an address before the Rotary club, of Dallas, Tex., told his hearers that if any of them wanted his youngest child to be able to say he had even seen a democratic president, he should take the baby to Washington and let him look at Mr. Wilson before his present term expires, because the chance would never come again,
PAVING TO STAY. The paving gangs are abroad in the land. This is the time for every communify to do a little forecasting of the future and provide before the paving goes into place for the laying of all the various pipes and lines which the growth of the town will undoubtedly require. We all want and expect our towns o grow and improve as they grow, yet we put in our pavements and then tear them up for each successive pipe which means improvement sewer, gas and water. Much valuable time and money would be saved if communities backed their faith with works, and provided for the .future for which they pray.
ORDERS FROM ABROAD. A few days ago agents appeared in New York repre senting the governments of Denmark. Sweden and Norway, and proceeded to piace big orders for electrical machinery. Those countries are able to buy freely because they have large credits in America, and have the ships to carry their purchases home. The incident Is taken by New York financiers as a straw showing which way the wind blows. Thy agree that it is going to blow much stronger from the same quarters before lone. Just now the orders are for electrical machinery; soon they will extend to many other sorts of manufactured goods. Soon, too, other nations, chiefly belligerents whose construction has been delayed longer by the war settlement, will come into the market. As a result of this conviction in Wall Street whose opinion is gnerally a pretty reliable business barometer there is a much stronger demand for standard industrial securities, and stocks are going up. That is a still more convicing sign of the business weather.
QUALIFIED. .Tack Pickford. the moving picture actor, who was recently exposed in a navy "graft" case for assisting in a scheme to sell commission in the Navy, was. according to latest reports, saved from a dishonorable discharge by Joseph Tumulty, secretary to President Wilson, who wrote a letter asking that he be honorably discharged as his services were needed in a government propaganda film. Too bad there wasn't some other actor available out of the several thousand! Mayors of several middle western cities have issued an order forbidding the showing of any pictures in which Pickford is cast. These mayors are to be congratulated. They are right; Tumulty is wrong. We all know, however, why Tumulty fought for Fickford.
MUM'S THE WORD! Tt Is rattor wonderful how things work themselves out. Here a few years ago President Taft appointed ""harles R- Crane, of Chicago, a? minister to China and rrane en route to his pot gave out an ansurfl lnterviey which rendered him persona non grata to the Chinese. Accordingly h was recalled by President Taft and never so much as left the country. It was clearly Crane's fault, but he cherished a bitter animosity against President Taft and when the gfnMeman was up for re-election in 1P12. the house of Crane was aeainst him. Crane and all the little cranes Papped their wings and croaked dismally for Wilson. Moreover, they got the Wilson habit and were still flapping and croaking in And now comes the announcement of the reward. Richard Crane; son of Charles R. Crane, has been appointed the first American minister to the Czer ho-Slovak republic. Let us trurt that he gci , over. And probably he will. Witli the example of his illustrious father before him, we cannot doubt, that Richard will be most discreet in h is converse both before and after taking his position. The little talkinsr he will indulge in will b with his father and will relate more to what not to say than it will as to what to ay. But then, he's probably safe enough anyhow. He doesn't know anything about the Czecho slovak

THEY WANT NO FUSS. With their home towns, big and little throughout the United States, eager to plan and carry out some celebration in honor of the returning soldiers, there are indications that a considerable proportion of the soldiers wish that they wouldn't. Being safely back home seem?, to many of them celebration enough, and being feted and lionized doesn't appeal to them. In one New England town, says the Christian Science Monitor, soldiers already home have stopped such a celebration by rising In town meeting and declaring, in all honesty, that tbey have had as many parades as they care for, heard bandplaying and speech-making to last a long time, and would consider themselves more comfortably welcomed if the town would give over its intention of spending money for a set celebration. What these soldiers evidently desire is to get back into civil life with as little 'fuss and feathers" as possible, which is a sound and sensible wish in a civilian army, and doubtless typical of many other heme-coming veterans.
Peace is more perilous than war-for royalty. The Crown Prince that wa. has broken his wrist riding a motorcycle. Bet he smashed the watch, too!
There is much truth in the statement that Germany fought the war IsrsHy on wealth stolen from invaded territory. Her wfir burden has been slight.
The French seem to be sore because the peace treaty
is giving them only a few tunes as much as they hoped to get a year ago.
Anyhow-, with the George Washington waiting at Brest, the President can come borne when he gets ready.

his plan for his League of Nations. The majority of the American people are not behind him. Most of us and 1 believe I am a fair sample of the average American have no idea what the language of Mr. Wilson's covenant means. We want time to talk the matter over, and to see what we can do for oilier nations without ruining our own nation. It will do hut little good if, by helping the Cz cho-Klovaks or (he Armenians to keep their freedom, we subject our country and the Western Hemisphere to the mandates of alien poSvei s. Vet while we want to talk ofr the league, to clarify our ideas and to have time to choose and S'le t what we wnnt to do in regard to our future interna-
I tiorial relations, at the same time we
want an immediate peace, which will restore the world to normal conditions, and render the bluMerinp, bullying, cringing German entirely impotent. The solution seems so self-evident that I hesitate to mention it. Let us make peace immediately. Hnd after hav-
j ing made our peace let us convene a council of representative men of the I allied nations for the purpose of crest

i .strive to limit wars in the future, j Lefore we sign or agree to any league of nations we must solemnly vow- to jourf.elves to live up to the letter and the spirit of any international ajrreement we make. We must be very care-
i ful to make no agreement which we
cannot live up to. We must never share with Germany the point of view- that in : ernational agreements are scraps of paper. Let the Senate take hfed. for the Re-
J public is in danger. Let the people, of
the United States show the internationalist politicians of the New World and the statesmen of the Old. who are patriotically looking after the interests of their own people, that the people of the United States are truly "in the saddle" and will allow no one without courage to represent them. We. the people, must demand the Senate use the powers given to it by the Constitution. No conglomera tirn of foreign statesmen or of a few self-appointed American dolegates should be able to wr st from the hands of-the people their power.

Rut we must have time to talk things over before we decide on any new policy so vitally affecting otir whole, national and international life. We want to discuss the proposition after we have made peace. There are many of us who feel that those at the Teace Conference are tint truly representative of public opinion. Perhaps the Sixty-sixth Congress will be more so. The Sixty-sixth Congress needs both courage and conviction to oppose the bulbing of Mr. Wilson.

THE serv ice which, at all times, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is prepared to render it patrons, rests securely upon a solid foundation of complete distribution. - To perfect a system which shall make every product manufactured by the Company instantly available to anyone, anywhere, aor time, has been the goal toward which this Company has been working since the day of its organisation. As yet this ideal has not been achieved; but the system as it stands is conceded to be the most perfect of ' its kind in the world. The present equipment for distribution, including grounds, buildings, storage tanks, motor trucks, wagons, etc., represents an investment of more than 130,000,000. There are 7 main stations where complete stocks of all products are kept on hand. Supporting these are the bulk stations located at $681 carefully selected points in II states. These stations are equipped with storage tanVa having a combined capacity of 86,113,6.50 gallops of gasoline. 66.115,300 gallons of kerosene, and i,300,000 gallons of lubricating oils. It is necessary to carry this tremendous stock total 156,528,950 gallons at all times to insure quick, convenient service to the patrons of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana wherever they may be. regardless of transportation difficulties or weather conditions. To enahle the Company to fulfilk its obligations to patrons, and deliver to them the product they require, it is necessary to maintain a fleet of 3700 motor trucks and a caravan of S500 horse-drawn wagons, either active or in reaerve. These tank wagons are so organised that they, at regular intervals, can reach 75 of the homes in the territory at present served by this Company. Supplementing the wagons, an equipment of 530.000 iron barrels, representing an investment of mora than $7,000,000, is kept in service to insure the safe delivery of oils and gasoline, even to those remote places where the dark-green tank wsgon never has penetrated. For the convenience of the motoring public, a chain of 1300 service stations has been organised and many others are in the course of construction. These stations are prepared at all times to supply the motorist with his requirements of gasoline and lubricating oils in any quantity and at the lowest prices. This, in outline, is the distribution system upon which the service of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) rests. It is the hope of the Company that the time is not far distant when no person in the territory served will be more than five or six miles from a Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service station if he lives in the country, or more than one mile away if he lives in a town or city.
