NAPOLEON is quoted
l Mas having said, Right
is on the side of the heaviest
artillery" In other words
that might makes right.
This cynical remark was charac-
teristic of the age in which he
lived, and expressed the thought
which dominated the world for
many years after his death.
But a change has come over the
world which has turned the whole
thought of mankind into more
wholesome, constructive channels.
Where formerly he who had the
power exploited his fellows, today
the dominant idea is service and
helpfulness.
In business particularly, is this idea
apparent.
Today only those business institu-
tons which render to the public a
definite, specific service can hope
to survive the changed ideals of
the world.
The Standard Oil Company (Indi-
ana) is bending every effort to con-
duct its affairs in such manner as
to conform to these modern ideals.
It is the ambition of the Company
to broaden the scope and intensity
the service it renders the public
SO as to make every man who buys
even gallon of gasoline feel that
he is receiving the greatest possible
value for the money he spends.
It is the Company's steadfast pur-
pose to make every product it
manufactures of the highest quail
ity possible, thereby keeping its
activities in step with the chang
ing world.

General Trend Indicates Continued Bearish Average of Senti-
 ment.

New York, Sept. 13-After making new low prices during the earlier part of the past week, the cotton mar ket rallied on apprehension of damage gulf at the close of business tonight. The bulk of the buying was attributed to covering, however, and the improve ment was not fully maintained. The failure of the storm threat to create more active or general demand has been regarded by local brokers as in dicating a continued bearish average of sentiment, based on the approach of the new crop movement and compar- atively restricted trade demand.
 According to the report of the Cen sus Bureau. ginning prior to Septem- Der amounted to only 13S,933 bales, the smallest on record but there were reports early in the week of increased spot offerings at declining prices. There was also scattered Southern selling here which suggested hedging, but offerings of this sort were less m evidence after the decline of over four cents pound from the high level reached toward the end of last month.
