made 100 per cent literate before

than 100000 persons illiterate and
that the United States ranked tenth
for illiteracy among the civilized
nations of the world. At that time
the movement to stamp out
illiterancy was in its infancy.
The drive against illiteracy Is be-
ing sponsored by the National
Illiteracy Crusade, an organization
formed at Washington in February,
1926, of which William Allen White,
Kansas, Is president.

ton, the American Legion, the Gen
eral Federation Of Women's Clubs

From the days of axle grease for wagons down
to the present era of antl-knoCk gasoline tor high
compression motors and aviation gasoline and oil,
the Standard Oil Company Qndiana) has taken
the lead
This Company has endeavored at all times to
anticipate mechanical progress BY so doing, 1t
has been able to render signal assistance in the
development of mechanical ideas.
By introducing Red Crown Ethyl Gasoline to
the motorist of the Middle West, the Standard Oil
Company (Indiana) did major service in hurrying
forward the development Of the high compression
motor which gives increased gasoline mileage
direct benefit to the 80 million people of the Middle
West
Long ago this Company anticipated the present
rapid development of aviation and when the need
arose for special gasoline and fuel it was ready
with proved produCts-tried and found good.
The mechanical progress which the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) has aided and anticipated is
only important as it touches human life, for that
is the ultimate universal goal of which this Com
pany is always conscious.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) believes
that the success of industrial institution is deter
mined by it's contribution to the public welfare.
1t owes it's own successful growth to active creed
of service.
In three distinct ways this Company has proved
Itself an asset to the public welfare. 1t has pro-
vided petroleum products of sustained high quality
for the people of the Middle West-when and
where needed-at minimum prices. 1t has en-
ployed to the fullest possible advantage the capital
OF the more than $4,000 stockholders. 1t has
utilized the time and ability of $4,000 employees
for the good of all concerned.
Scientific elimination of waste, able manage
ment, and the efficiency made possible by quantity
production, enable the Standard Oil Company
Qndana) to reward satisfactorily stockholders and
employees thousands of whom are also stockholders
for their investments of money and labor.
Within the organization this Compa~" has con-
trbuted very directly to human welfare, nstituting
the Death Benefits Plan, Annuity Plan Industrial
Relations Plan and Stock Purchasing Plans for the
benefit of its employees.
Thus in ways direct and indirect the Standard
Oil Company (ndiana) has promoted the public
welfare and the nations progress.
While it takes pardonable pride in the progress
of the past, this Company is not satisfied. 1t is
always stretching forward-moving on to new
achievements. Daily it strives for improvement
seeking to bring life nearer to the hearts desire"
for its vast army of workers, seeking to serve the
80 million people of the Middle West with wider
vision and greater skill.

A School Traffic Court.

A patrolman interested in children
and a parochial school with a good
spirit of cooperation have started
something in one Cleveland locality
that might well be copied elsewhere
Oakland, for instance.
The school ha sits own traffic cour
to which offenders are brought and
tried and, if convicted, sentenced to
some MISUNDERSTANDING staying
after school and writing out traffic
rules one hundred times.
The school has its own police force
of 10 pupils, mayor, elected council,
judges and jurors. There are even
public defenders to help the arrested
pupils if they need such legal aid.
Punishable traffic offenses include
items like these:
Hopping on wagons or trucks;
Not crossing streets at cross walks;
Dodging through traffic.
Well the workings of that system
are nothing short of marvellous, in. the
opinion of a city judge who visited
the school recently to observe the pu-
pills carryingout their responsible
ties. They are learning lots of things
such as safety rules, city traffic regu-
lations, the connection between violat-
ing rule and punishment, good citi-
zenship and cooperation with the
blue-coated traffic officers of the police
force. 1t is an excellent list of things
for school children to learn, and tho
process does not interfere with their
regular schooling, either.

Dairy Meetings To Take Place
Next Week.

eve are assured of the dairy meet
ings we have been expecting for some
weeks" said Mr.. w. z. Hendrickson
the other morning. "The meetings
are being billed for the 21st at Sun
nyside Grange Hall and at the Acct
dent High School auditorium on the
23rd inst"
The correspondence which he has
had with Mr.. H. C. Weghorst, of ST.
Louis, informs him that in place of
the contemplated lectures there will
be substituted a play, "Joe Guess
Wins $1,000. The purpose of the play
is identical with that of a lecture,
namely, to arouse an interest in better
feeding methods among the farmers
and dairymen and to show each dairy
man how he can produce milk at a
lower rate per gallon. But the facts
are dressed into an interesting form
with plenty of sketches of comedy to
make it really an evening of enter
tainment as well as information.
Mr.. Weghorst will take the part of
Bob Profit, the leading character in
the play. The other characters are
Joe Guess, Bill Know and Mr.. Shaw,
the Banker. Joe Guess, the dairyman,
who does not believe in better dairy
methods, is the chief comedian with
his laughable comments each time
Know and Profit attempt to show him
better methods.
The play is given at Sunnyside un-
der the management of w. z. Hen
erickson and at Accident it will be
under the management of the Unique
Milling Company of Friendsville.

WHERE WILL THE PLUCK
ING STOP?

The Baltimore Sun of Sunday, real
izing what the proposed gasoline tax
means to the pleasure seekers, the
truck drivers or others who use this
commodity daily, well ask the ques-
ton set forth in the caption of its
editorial, given above, and continues;
A tax as easily raised as that i'm
posed upon gasoline presents an ire
sistible attraction in the search for
revenue, the only limit likely to be
placed upon it being a rate at which
it ceases to be productive. Presum-
ably, the fve-cent tax now proposed
comes within the range its advocates
believe will not reduce consumption.
At this time it is to be noted that a
bothersome fraction of half a cent
may be disposed of, not by dropping
the figure to four cents, but by in
creasing it to five, the half million
dollars more thus to be taken out of
the pockets of the motor vehicle own
ers being looked upon as bagatelle.
1t is new money the State is find
ing, and it is not likely to be re-
Elected in decrease in taxation in other
directions. The motorist will bear
the cost of improving lateral roads,
abutting property will take on addi-
tional value and assessment, the tax
able basis will go up and while the
rate may not increase the total sum
taken from taxpayers will.
The additional burden is placed
upon those who are now contributing
more than S5,000,000 to maintain
highways. 1t admittedly falls with
great injustice on certain classes of
business and on certain individuals.
The law would change methods of
building lateral roads long in vogue
and against which little serious objec-
ton has arisen, always an inadvisable
thing to do unless the advantages of
the change are many and obvious.
These methods have been check
upon lateral building at an un-
warranted pace because of the local
incidence of taxation for it, There
is no assurance, in the event it is dis
covered that the motor vehicle goose
can be plucked without a squawk
which must be listened to, that more
feathers will not be taken from him
for an enlarged program of lateral
road construction or for any other
purpose the State wishes to advance.
The fact that the proposal involves
one of the higest rates Of gasoline
taxation levied in the United States
in itself suggests the unwisdom of it.

ADVERTISING

Advertising lowers the cost of mer-
chandise for the reason that it in
creases turnover of merchandise. A
merchant must turn over his goods
several times a year 10 enjoy prof
liable business. Goods on the shelf
mean nothing until sold, for they be-
come shelf-worn and out of date. The
unsold goods often represent huge
losses.
The time to sell merchandise is
when it is seasonable and new. The
proper advertising which constantly
calls attention to new goods, new
styles, ETC., creates a demand and sells
merchandise. Turn over of goods sup
plies new capital with which to re-
stock.
Newspaper advertising is the mer-
chants greatest friend, huge mag
net which attracts people to his store.
And unless used regularly, it is sure
to lose much of its pulling power.
Nearly every merchant of the pres
ent day believes in advertising, but
many do not have the courage of their
convictions to advertise consistently.
They do not come to the point where
an appropriation is set aside for reg
ular use. Some people believe they
have saved money by not using news
paper space. Show US a merchant who
is a consistent buyer of newspaper
space who is not a successful business
man. Statistics show that IS per cent
Of the business failures of 1925 were
non-advertisers. 1t is not impossible
to do business without advertising,
but it is impossible to reach the goal
that should have been theirs. FIRE.
quently you will see merchants who
are doing a successful business who
are not advertisers. But what might
their business not have been if they
had used it year after year? Per-
haps, instead of small store, a large
department store might have grown
in its place, or on the other hand the
merchant might have been retired for
the rest of his life instead of worry
ing over business today.
