An All Day Jubilee and Picnic
Is Scheduled Also.

Girard, Kan. May 31.-The citizens
of Crawford county will dedicate
their new half-million dollar court
house and $4,000 Jail buildings on
Thursday. June /, which is "Girard
Day" and the city OF Girard is max
ing elaborate plans for the entertain
ment of what is expected to be the
largest crowd that ever assembled in
the county seat
An interesting feature of this event
is the fact that these buildings are the
first that the citizens of the county
ever built, the city of Girard having
borne the expense of erecting two other
courthouse buildings and one Jail
building. the last one of which was
built in 1890 and demolished in 1919
TO make way for the new building.
June is Girard's birthday. and for
years the old settlers have held an an
nual picnic on this day. and IL has
been long known as "Girard Day"
This is one Of the chief reasons for
holding the dedicatory ceremonies on
this date, as it was on June 1, 1865.

by their majesties after the war to set
fashionable society a much needed eX-

seal of royal approval has now again
been bestowed on court trains. Indeed
no women can be presented at court
who does not wear them. OF course as
a man the lord chamberlain cannot

many official duties to lay down the

court functions.

be a peer, to qualify for the exalted Of

political plums that the prime minister
has to bestow. The present lord cham
berlain is in the top class of the peer
age. He is the Duke of Athon.
By restoring the court train he has
earned the blessing of the fashiOna BILE

Committee Appointed to Work Out

To give Topekans greater service

classes next fall for special students
drawn from all walks of life.
At a recent meeting of the liberal

and appointed a committee to invest1-

win, Prof. w. J. Morgan and Prof.
Elrick B. Davis compose the commit

"I have no concrete plan at the
present time" President Womer said,
but I have been investigating the
work of night schools in connection
with other colleges and universities.
There is a growing feeling among
the college and universities that they
are responsible for the development of
good citizenship. and Washburn ought
to carry its share of that response

All Washburn classes are now open

ONE of the most perfect
~ forms of industrial service
is that which results from CO.
operation between manufac-
turer and consumer.
Recognizing this, the Standard
Oil Company Indiana) has
developed a service bureau
headed by lubricating engin-
GERS of wide experience whose
business it is to cooperate with
designers, manufacturers and
users of all types of machinery
that they may get maximum
of correct fabrication at a
minimum of cost.
In developing this service the Standard
Oil Company (Indiana) had a two
fold motive-hrst that Standard Oil
products shall render the utmost of
service and second that the user shall
get full value for the money he spends.
AS result of this service the customer
finds it unnecessary to carry on costly
experiments. The lubricating special
lists of the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana) will, upon request, study his
problems and tell him the exact oils
and greases needed to insure correct
fabrication of his machinery.
This highly specialized service is rem
dered without cost Tf IS one Of fhe
underlying principles of this Company
benefit of our wide experience, that his
low as possible.
In the individual plants, large and
small, which the lubricating engineers
of the Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
have served, this principle is we'll
recognized.
Plenty of oil does not necessarily mean
good fabrication. Correct fabrication
consists in applying the right oil in
the right place in the right way.
To enable its patrons to achieve correct
fabrication is the business of the lubri-
eating engineers of the Standard Oil
Company Indiana).
This fabrication service is but one of
the many specialized ways in which
serves industry and hence serves society.
