American Legion
tBy Associated Press)

COLUMBUS, O., jury THE Ohio
American Legion, by authority of the
state executive committee, has set five
detectives for each of the 519 posts of
the state, to carry before the state
convention of the legion next Septem-
Der. They are:
Fifty per cent increase in paid-up
membership, over the membership for
last year, or rs per cent of the eligible
persons in the community
Every post have unit of the aux
iliary. 3d..
Every post be behind at least one
community project.
Every post have a permanent meet
ing place.
Using a basis of 100 per cent, a
possible 20 per cent for the carrying
of each of the detectives, the grades
of posts will be made out and publish
ed from time to time between this
time and the state convention, at
which every post rated at 100 per cent
will be awarded autographed "cita-
ton" for meritorious service, which
will be suitable for framing
Legionnaires are urged to carry the
detectives as they did when so com
manded in the World war

Find Treated Wheat
Is Free From Smut

RUSHVILLE, Ind, July 7.-Practi-
cally complete elimination OF wheat
smut from treated seed is shown by
an investigation of wheat fields here
sown from treated seed. Such fields
show only a trace of smut infection,
while other fields, sown from the
same lots of seed which had received
no treatment, showed as high as "a
per cent of infection.
The treating plant has been Install
ed only a little over a year, and this
is the second harvest from seed treat
ed by it. On account OF the abnorm-
ally dry season, which caused serious
mailing of the swollen treated grain,
the increase in yield of the treated
plats over the untreated, will not be
so great this year as last, but indica-
tons point to much better quality for
the treated wheat. In a normal sea-
son, the yield also will be materially
larger.
A number of farmers who used
treated seed have contracted all their
product for sale as seed, and it is
hardly possible to fill the demand for
smut free seed.

CHINCH BUGS CAUSE
ENORMOUS DAMAGE

LAFAYETTE, Ind, July More
than half the counties of Indiana are
infested with the chinch bug, accord
ing to Prof. j. J. Davis, head of the
entomology department of Purdue uni
versity, who has visited many parts
of the state, and assisted county ag-
ents in conducting control demonstra-
tions.
While the bugs have spent their
force in many counties, they will still
cause a lot of damage in many coun-
ties, and continual work is necessary
to control them" said Prof. Davis.
"As they mature. they get wings and
will fly to neighboring fields and lay
eggs for a second brood which will
scatter through the corn later in the
season"
Prof. Davis declined to estimate the
losses caused by the bugs this year,
but said it would run into the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. Even
larger numbers will appear next year
he says, unless fence rows and other
infested regions are burned over this
winter

NAVAL APPROPRIATION
BILL Sent BACK To
HOUSE BY SENATE

WASHINGTON, July Although
agreeing to the bulk of the provisions
in the S409, 100000 naval appropriation
bill as voted recently by the house In
attempting to dispose of differences be
tween the two bodies, the senate Wed
nesday refused to yield on 10 amend
ments and sent the measure back TO
the house with a request for further
conferences. The amendments on
which the senate declined to recede in
clude provisions for two airplane car
riers, aviation stations and increased
expenditures for battleships under
construction.
Must Meet Deficit.
Leaders had not determined last
night how to meet the technical deficit
in funds for the navy building from
the lapse of appropriations with the
close of the fiscal year, June 30. It
might be necessary, it was said, to
adopt a resolution continuing last
years appropriations temporarily until
the pending bill is enacted. Only a
few days, however, it was believed,
would be required to wind up the bill
finally, and leaders were hopeful of
avoiding the expedient OF a continuing
resolution. Among the major provis-
ions of the bill disposed of finally by
the senates action today on the con-
ference report were the Borah disarm-
ament amendment and that fixing the
navy enlisted personnel at 100000
men.
Construction at IS Per Cent.
Senator Poindexter told the senate
he had been informed by the navy
department that the limitation placed
in appropriations for new construction
would require slowing down Of battle
ship construction to 25 per cent OF
available capacity of yards.
Senators Brandegee, Republican, of
Connecticut, and King, Democrat, OF

Picture at Murrette

THAT Something" the book ex-
employing the motto Of the Rotary
club, He Profits Most Who Serves
Best" has been filmed and is now
showing at the Murrette theatre.
Through the efforts of the Seattle Ro-
tary Club the story was dedicated to
the Rotary Clubs of the world.
The book was written by W. w.
Woodbridge, and its first copy came
off the press less than a year ago.
Since that time, however, the book
has run into 10 editions. 1t is said
that the story has but one aim-to de-
plct life and truth as it is experienced.
That Something" picks up the
broken threads of youths life at the
point where, on account of prodigali-
ties and follies he is shown the door
by an outraged and disappointed
father. Before he finds that some
thing. the young man reaches the
depths. 1t isn't the love of a good
woman, nor ambition, nor pride, nor
tilial affection, nor a sense of duty,
nor even religion that brings about his
regeneration and the regeneration of
the girl whom he loves. 1t is that

y PRESIDENT HARDING in a recer

DRESIDENT HARDING in recent
- address declared that "one of the
- greatest economic problems if not
the greatest, is distribution. There can
be no doubt of the position of the good
roads movement in the solution of the
problem. I believe that Federal and State
Governments must not only create good
roads but they must insist upon the main
tenance of good roads. A good road gone
wrong is a streak of memorial to neglect
and waste. The roads we build must be
built for use in the distribution of products
rather than for merely pleasure riding.
We must foster the use Of motor trucks"
The expression of the chief executive of
our nation is but confirmation of the ex-
periences of the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana) in the conduct of its business.
The problems of distribution are of
paramount importance and in efecting
this distribution, good roads are pri-
mary essential
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana)has
in operation more than 1000 motor trucks
engaged in distributing gasoline, kerosene
and lubricating oils to ultimate consumers
in IL Middle Western States. It is the
business of this department to attempt to
furnish Standard Oil products to whoever
may require them, wherever he may live.
To supplement the tank wagon, the
Standard Oil Company (Indiana) main
tains network of service stations, To-
Gated on the main travelled highways,
every few miles in the country and every
few blocks in the city.
Through its highly specialized organi-
cation, the Standard Oil Company (Indi-
ana) manufactures from crude petroleum
the three factors necessary to solution
of the problems of distribution.
Stanolind Paving Asphalt for good
roads-enduring roads.
Red crown, the high-grade gasoline.

Polarine, the perfect motor oil, for
iubrication-correct fabrication.
In the manufacture of these products,
the Company has set as measure of
