G. 0. P. Will Speed Work

For New Administration

WASHINGTON. D. C. Dec. 3. All reeoids will be broken by the Fpeed with which the new republican administration will be launched. Steps are being taken to hurry along all of the necessary arrangements so that the Harding regime may begin to function at the earliest possible date and the republican party may begin to discharge Its legislative responsibilities under Its new lease of power. JYamo Xcnv Cabinet. Tho framing of the new cabinet is much farther along than most persons imagine. The first cabinet of Ire't Wilson was not known until almost the time the president was inaugurated. According to the present plan Pres't Harding's cabinet In Its complete form will be made known to the country about Jan. 1. This will enable the ap

pointees to adjust their affairs to take hold' of their Jobs when the present administration goes out of power and will facilitate the immediate transfer of the government from one administration to the other. Cabinet Oflicors. Not only are the cabinet oftlcers being selected with unusual expedition but hnste also is being made In choosing the persons who are to man tho government In all other responsible positions. It is predicted that tnthln threo days after I'res't Harding is Inaugurated he will have signed the vast multitude of commissions that will put new men in charge of the offices of the government and that the executive branch will be ready to function under its new personnel. Another fact which has just come

to lit;ht is that the pans as arranged rrovido for the convening of congress in extra session at a rau"h earlier d ato than extra se-iona usually are called. It is proposed that the extra session shall begin about March 10 and shall get' down to business at once. Usually when extra session are called in the spring after an ndminlstratlon gots out of oower in March the openirg date is

mHE farmer of the Middle West I is a business man who utilizes every labor or time-saving device to increase his profits. That's why the farmer is coming to be the heaviest buyer of motor trucks. At seeding time he hauls his seed to the field, thus economizing hand labor; at harvest time he hauls his grain, potatoes, and other produce, to market, and distance being a less prohibitive factor, is able to secure better prices; and all through the year he hauls his live-stock and chickens to market, and is able to deliver them in better condition, and with a minimum of shrinkage. These are a few reasons why the farmer finds the motor truck profitable. It must be apparent, then, that in no other part of the nation is rural distribution of petroleum products quite so important as in the states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). These are the farming states which supply not only the Middle West but the entire nation with food. The ten states served by this Company are well termed the breadbiut of the nation. To be of economic service to the farmer, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) maintains throughout the territory it serves a complete chain of bulk stations, with tank wagons for delivery throughout theruraldistricts. The farmer has come to know that he can depend upon this service even under most trying conditions. That busy, dark green tank wagon serves the farmer with all the faithfulness vrith which the milk wagon and the ice wagon serve the flat dweller in the city. The comprehensive distribution system of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is geared to service at the lowest possible cost. The money thus saved through large scale operation is passed on to the consumer by reasonable tank wagon prices throughout the territory served. That this complete and highly efficient system of distribution maintained by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is indispensable to the newtype of business farmer, no one acquainted with the facts can doubt.
