MOTHER FACTOR

1T is singuIarIy appropriate
that this day, which is dedicated
to the mothers of the nation
should in Illinois usher ii a week
of tremendous Importance intend
ed to develop strong and efficient
and healthful sons and daughters
for the state" said DR.. George
Thomas Long, president of the IL
linois Tuberculosis association and
assistant director of the state de-
partment of public health. in a
discourse yesterday on Mothers
Day and Health Promotion" Con-
tinuing, he says:
Reverence for motherhood is
ever strong in the American peo-
pie, and yet, during the dark days
of the war, the mother has come to
occupy a new and exalted place.
She has given generously and
cheerfuIly of her greatest, treasure
that the nation might not fail.
With smiling face, she has sent
her sons and/daughters into the
great military and Industrial
armies, and, in their absence, she
has sent forth her messages of
courage and patriotism and inspir-
alton while doing greater practi-
cal work at home than ever wo-
men did before in time of war.
Her wish has been that she might
have more to give. She has borne
the grief of her losses with d
heroism that is supreme. She has
been accomplishing in these sac
rifices which must ever be a part
of war Her sorrow for the sons
who have fallen in battle has beer
tempered with pride and glory.
But into the hearts of thouS-
amos of mothers there have come
grave questions. What of the sons
who have fallen, not in the heat o.
battle, but who were stricken down
by disease? Did this supreme sac
rifice have to be? Had some one
failed to provide the barriers
against preventable illness? Had
she failed, through lack of knowl
edge or lack of care, to lay the
foundation for that rugged health
which makes a nation strong and
which goes far to fortify the man
against ravages of disease? Had
she given to her nation men of the
greatest strength? Had she done
her part in preparing for this cri-
sis by joining wholeheartedly in
the past in that neyer-ending
world war against mans natural
enemies and destroyers?
Need a Strong Race.

T UNDERLYING the manufactur-
ing activities of the Standard
- Oil Company Qndiana), are the
same high ideals of service; the same
thoughtful consideration of detail;
the same earnest desire to do a big
job thoroughly and well, which ami
mates the Company in every other
branch Of it's business.
Every facility which wide experience, ample
resources, and the utmost skill of scientific
ally trained technicians can devise, or sug-
gest rs provided to insure absolute uniform
ity and the highest standard of quality in
each of the many products manufactured
by the Standard Oil Company INDIANA
The manufacturing facilities of the Com
pany are concentrated in three great ref1n-
cries one located at Whiting Ind, covering
700 acres; one at Wood River, Ill. covering
600 acres; and one at Sugar Creek, Mo-,
covering 200 acres of ground.
The Whiting works is conceded to be the
most complete, the most perfectly organized
oil refinery in the world. Here practically
every product of petroleum is manufac-
tured, and here are located the great re-
search laboratories where the problems of
manufacture are worked out and solved.
The plants at Wood River and Sugar
Creek are modern in every particular and
so organized as to use every part of the
crude OIL This enables the Company to
keep manufacturing costs at minimum
and to supply its patrons with products of
the highest standard at prices which other
wise would be impossible.
The 1900 earnest, industrious, well-paid
men and women who make up the per-
sonnet of these three refneries. constitute,
we believe, the most loyal, the most en-
tf1usiastic, most efficient industrial army to
be found anywhere.
The facilities alone for manufacture main
tanned by the Standard Oil Company In
diana represent an investment of approx
mately 100000. This investment is
growing constantly to enable the Company
to maintain the high standard of service it
has set for itself and which it believes the
public is entitled to receive.

Tho First Food AdmInlstrs+or.

Good Housekeeping: 1t WAS back In
fible times that the office OF food ad
ministrator came into being. 1t is re
corded that "'t1he dearth was in all
lands; but in all the land of Egypt
there was bread. And Joseph OPP
ened all the storellouses, and sold unto
the Egyptians; and the famine waxed
sore in the land of Egypt. And all
countries came into Egypt to Joseph
for to buy corn"
History is said to repeat itself, and
today, assuredly, all the world is
thronging to America, even as in that
former time IT. came to Egypt, for to
Iuy corn. Had It not been for second
historical repetition namely as crea-
ton OF a food administrator, famine
would also have waxed sore in Anleri-
ca, the boosted "granary Of the world. "
AS it is, thanks to Nit. Hoover, the
nations fighting for righteousness
have pulled through and there is as
s;rance OF bread.

A Wise YOUNG Man.

Anamost Eureka: We heard of a
young man the other day who made
$4,000 last year in cash This was
aside from the stock increases in his
business. He did not make 1t in the
mercantile business, on the board of
trade or in any speculative game. He
made 1t on the farm. He is probably
not over % years of age, with wife
and a babe. The bright lights have
no attraction for him He is inter
ested in the ways of nature, and
what nature will do to help man He
is sticking to the farm while others
chase after the easy ways of making
money and the good times which
come with spending all or more than
one makes. That young man has
sense enough to stay by the farm
where he was born and raised. He
will be comfortably fixed long before
the age that some successful men
get a start, and he will be comfort

others of the same age are begging
