ONE of the major services which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) . renders you, is to maintain at all times, at convenient points throughout the territory it serves, large storage tanks filled with gasoline, kerosene and lubricating oils for quick delivery to you when you need them. Assume for a moment what would happen if severe weather or unforeseen transportation conditions should cut off deliveries from the refinery for a week, and that no appreciable surplus was available. You would walk for your groceries. Your physician would be slow in arriving in case of sickness. Business generally would suffer through inability to make deliveries. In a word, unless the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) maintains a tremendous surplus in the field at all times your domestic and commercial welfare would be jeopardized. This vast storage of 156,528,950 gallons is but a single cog in the giant wheel of usefulness which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) operates in discharging its obligations as a public servant in a manner satisfactory and beneficial to all.

She would add perhaps that Mr. Lort created a circle of friends in Hammond during his two years connection as chemist with the C P. Metals Refining Co. at Crassclli; that the bride was given away by her brother-in-law. Mr. John D. Snialley and that owing to the fact that a home wedding was originally planned, no guests were invited to the church ceremony. On their return trip about two weeks hence Mr. and Mrs. I.ort expect to make a brief stop-over in Hammond before going to their furnished apartment at Toledo where they will be at home. aft. r Dec. 1. Custom no longer requires that newly weds are assured of a community's well wishes and congratulations, but in the case of Mrs. Lort who ns society editor held a quasi public position 'he felicitations may be sincerely added and

her confrorees on the paper certainly wish her the best of everything thl life affords. Sept. 25. Mrs. Glenn E. Ebright was hostess at a card party on Friday evening in honor of Miss Beatrice Hansen.

Real Facts About Hungary

In the September ISth edition of The Times there appeared an article signed by C R. Paseu of the- American Ruman- ' inn News of Cleveland and a Mr Serb, ; in which attempts wtie made to defend Rumania's conduct during the war, h-r ; iot;duct during the armistice and her territorial claims, ending with the following: "The Rumanians do not ask fa tors, they look to the president of the Li.ited States, ta The congress, tu the r. pr-. sentati ves ..,f this great republic, and to the liberty loving American people only for justice." Inasmuch as Justice can only be given upon a j. roper determination of the matters alleged, it Is therefore the p'u po--e vf this article to bring forth the tru h which, when taken into consideration, will positively prove that Rumania hm not only traduced Hungary during a period of armistice but is now committing the most hideous of inurnationa! crimes, looting and murd-riag on thv ay, openly defying the relets of the peace conference, (as he did oi l.',:i when Prmoe Ouza. acting in defiant" to the orders of the Paris conference ,,f 1"5. formed, a joint government for 'the principalities of Moldavia and Vaiiachia) and net being content, unlawful!! occupied and annexed nearly on -half of Hungary. The article with undisguised imposition starts out alleging that had she jieldtd to the pressure to take the German side, the Allies mfght well have been forced to accept a Clrrman peace hng before the T'nitcd States bad mad-; up its mind to help them. Do the distinguished gentlemen intend to discredit the policy of the Fnltrd Sfafs by th's bold artion or Is it tht they ciaim the rred ' F,r the destruction f HoheniioIIernism? It cannot be the la't r because even now n Hoh"-rolle: n is tlie iukr of Rumania where the tul-.s live in ca- Irs "and Ihe subj. rts livo in mud huts. It is ciamid ,het iiu-.iania did not .- -r:t get the promised fupport and that she was betrayed by the czar's government, the facts of the cae. however, refute this as Ruman a bcme years prior to the World Wn.r. joined the Trlpl" Alliance and thu? became an ally of Hungary, but she dec,ne- to take th neutral standpoint, it being exceedongiy profitable to her, for she sold the surplus of her agricultural products and oil to Germanvr and Hungary and allowed shipment f munitions and other war supplies p-is's through her territory also for a -').i:d. ration, nevrrth' less, it i md to appear in the article as if Rumania honored the sanctity of the contract ani r.n one of those whose obligations were rcrap of paper. The gold thus obtained she used for purchasing military equipment of all description in preparation f3r the attack on that party which w oi id first become exhausted, follow ing the same course previously pursued during the Balkan War. where she held aloof until the fighting nations became exhausted, and then with a small army welked into the IobrudJa and took It away from Bulgaria without firing a shot. It is common knowledge that In the meantime! the entente made her temping overtures to abandon the treaty of alliance with Austria-Hungary and Join them, in return promising her large slices of Hungarian territory. But Rumania was not vt sure which side would win so she continued her watchful and profitable waiting, but when the Russians in June. 1316. pierced the Austria-Hungarian front and made some hundred thousand prisoners, swooping down towards the plains of Hungary, the Rumanians decided tht thdr time had come, so she concluded the infamous secret treaty of August 17. 19 Pi. which was subsequently published by the Lenlne government, and proceeded to take the promised slices of Hungarian soil, notwithstanding the fact that just one day before the invasion of August 27. King Ferdinand of Rumania had promised to the Austria-Hungarian min disclosed, and rec!pts were transmitted to the Indianapolis office of the company by express, avoiding use of the mails.
