THERE comes a time on
every farm when work

THERE comes a time on
every farm when work
must be done at once if
it is to be done at all. It may
be blowing, cultivahng, har.
vesting, or housing of the
crops. When conditions are
right the work must be
started and pushed with all
possible speed if the farm is
to pay a maximum return
that season.
Under such conditions the
man on the job has no time
to go to town, even to get
necessary supplies, and no one
on the place can be spared
for that purpose.
Some times it is necessary to send
in for food, seed, or machinery, but
for his requirements of petroleum
products, the farmer knows that he
will be supplied by the dark, green
tank wagon of the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) which calls at
his home as regularly, though not
as often, as does the man who
brings his mail.
He has learned that he can depend
upon this delivery service, and that
the Standard Oil man will deliver
his kerosene, gasoline and lubricat-
ing oil not only to his door, but, if
needs be, to the tractor in the field
there are 10000 tractors in the
Middle West
This is the reason for the harmon.
ious, close, friendly relations which
always has existed between the
Standard Oil Company (Indiana)
and the farmers Of the Middle
West Also this is another reason
why the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana) takes pride in its position
as a public servant, doing an ex-
acting job as well as it knows
how, to the distinct advantage Of
the man who raises the crops, and
the millions who eat them.

BALK EXPLAINED
BY BILLY EVANS
VETERAN UMPIRE

A balk is, literally, any motion
on the part of the pitcher that de-
ceives. There are nine different il
legal moves on the part of the
pitcher that are construed as balks,
When a balk is called all action
ceases. Base runners are allowed
&C advance one base whether forced
or not, because OF the violation.
That is, if a runner was on third
and no other bases were occupied,
said runner would be entitled to
score. if the umpire declared a balk
II the umpire declared a balk and
the ball was then delivered to the
batsman, who hit safely, scoring all
runners on the bases, no attention
would be paid to the act of the
batsman. Everything that happen
ed would be rendered void.
A catcher does not commit a
balk. When the ball is delivered
TO him. while standing outside the
lines of his position the pitcher is
charged with making the balk, be-
cause he delivered the ball to the
catcher while in such a position
On the face it would seem that
passing a preceding runner world
be a rarity in baseball, yet such a
thing happens a half dozen times
each year in the majors.
The moment a runner passes a
preceding runner he is automati-
cally out There is no getting
away from it, regardless OF what
kind of a play is made on the ball.
or what the runner afterwards may
do. He seals his fate Immediately
upon passing the runner ahead.
Such plays are usually caused by
the batsman believing a fly ball will
fall safe, causing him to run wild.
while the runner is in doubt, and
plays it safe by going half way
down the line.
The story is that the rule was
framed years ago, when a runner
on second scored. while a runner
was being run down between third
and home, by sneaking around all
the players.

WISCONSIN PROVES
BENEFICIARY FROM
LOCALIZED BOXING

Milwaukee, Wisconsin. - Wis
consin profited to the extent of ap-
proximately $4,000 from its 5 per
cent share of the receipts from box
ing bouts in the last two years, &C
cording to the biennial report OF
the boxing board.
The report shows that the state
collected 37,9s932 since the sport
was legalized. The expenses of the
commission have been S21, 587 81,
leaving a balance OF more than
$4,000 in favor of the state.
In addition to the war, the cpl
demic of influenza cut into the re-
cefpts of the commission as the
sport was just getting back on its
feet when the "flu" ban gave it an
other setback.
Walter H. Linginger, chairman OF
the commission, said interest in the
sport was growing as the soldiers
returned from camp and abroad
and that a number of clubs in>dif-
ferent parts of the state are ne
gotiating for licenses.
One thing emphasized in the re-
port is the increase in amateur
boxing.

At the Majestic.

Now that the war is over, there Is
a tendency on the part of many &c
forget that the necessities for food
production and conservation are
as great as they we're during the
period Of actual fighting, if moi
greater. Vivian Martins new pic
ture, Little Comrade," is on this
account particularly timely, for il
deals with a young farmeret who
is determined to do what she can
to produce food in spite of the
hardships connected with the job.
The picture, which will be shown
at the Majestic tonight, is adapted
from a story by Juliet Wilbor
Tompkins, well known as a writer
of both books and screen stores.
Alice Eyton wrote the scenario, and
the production was directed by
Chester Whitney.

dorses the decision by which Wilde
defeateh Lynch Monday night
While some are content to say that
the bout was closely contested,
others do not disguise their sur
prise and mention, sympatheticaIly,
the establishment with which the
decision was received by a large
part of the spectators.
The Mails expert says he scored
the rounds carefully and at the fin
ish privately decided that Lynch
had won II and Wilde four. He
wants to know, he says, upon what
the referees verdict was BASED.
The Daily Sketch says: Many ex-
perts will quarrel with the decis-
ion, for Wilde got a worse gruelling,
than he did on the only occasion he
has been beaten in a real contest"
!, This is a reference to the defeat
administered to Wilde by Pal Moore
