We have never been quite able to understand why the! ‘American public has had so little use for the man ~who repre—é sented the authority of the law and was engaged in its enforce-| ment and made such heroes out of crooks. | Hoodwinking the law has been of late years one of the chief sources of amusement and delight of an enormous part fol the public. Crooks have been played up as our national heroes' and the men who have pursued the criminal, whether mur-| derer, bank robber or bootlegger, have been looked upon as “officious persons,” ‘‘busy-bodies” and “‘unnecessary expense. The practice of this “criminal worship” of the last ten| years is now beginning to produce its results in a generation of youthful law breakers who are putting into practice ghe lde_als they have been feasting upon. Laws are broken thh_ impunity, murder and scandal trials have become regular society after- noon events. The Stokes, Stillman and Hamon episodes‘merely em-| phasize the wages of sin and lawlessness. Breaking laws has} been relaxation and pleasure for many prominent Americans,| and the fact of their prominence adds to the popularity of the| pastime, apparently. ) 1 When parents seemingly have no respect for law, it cannot be expected that their children will. When parents cease to feel any responsibility for the whereabouts or actions of their children, they need not be much surprised to find them sooner or later brought up short in police court or worse. Will not the American public awaken to the conditions \that are polluting and undermining both the home and the nation. If we are not to respect and obey our laws—not one law, but every law—why have any? Unworthy of the name of| ‘American is the man who not only disobeys and breaks ]aws? but who does not do his utmost to support them. 4 it g GRAIN HOLDINGS | ‘According to the weekly report of the Guaranty Trust Co. of New York, the estimates of the department of agriculture| show that larger stocks were held on farms on March 1 than on| that date in any previous year. About 1,572,307,000 bushels of corn, or nearly half of the record 1920 crop, was held on the| farms at that date, as compared with 1,070,677,000 bushels held a year ago. Of the total 1920 crop, about 87 per cent, or 2,811,266,000 bushels, is merchantable, as compared with 2,- 486,296,000 bushels on the same date last year. | Oats held on farms was about 689,566,000 bushels, or 45.2/ per cent of the 1920 crop, compared with 418,983,000 bushels, or 34 per cent, of the 1919 crop so held a year ago. Barley held on farms was about 69,836,000 bushels, or 34.6 per cent, of the 1920 crop, compared with 34,848,000 bushels, o; 22.8 per cent, of the 1919 crop so held a year ago. J Wheat was not so heavily held as in 1916, the year after the billion-bushel crop, but the holdings exceeded greatly those on the corresponding date last year. The principal wheat-pro-| ducing states were holding larger stocks on farms than a year ago. Farm holdnigs of Kansas were largest, being wabout| 5,000,000 bushels more than a year ago. Nebraska’s holdings were second largest, and were more than 8,000,000 bushels larger than last year, while North Dakota’s stocks were third largest, about 4,500,000 bushels greater than last year. The de- tailed figures of the agricultural department’s statement give| wheat held on farms March 1 as about 207,591,000 bushels, or 20.4 per cent, of the 1920 crop, compared with 164,624,000 bushels, or 17.6 per cent, of the 1919 crop held a year ago. R S A THE HUMAN SIDE OF FARMING By Dr. J. C. Galpin i United States Department of ‘Agriculture | If farm men and women will only change their state of mind and think a great deal more of living now while the chil-| dren are growing up, instead of reckoning on living so much better after the children are grown and they have made their money ,then the home will very soon be made completely hu- man. | _I knew a farmer once whom everybody stopped to see for a minute. He was more like folks than folks were like them- selves. He was more than just friendly, more than a good, kind- hearted fellow, more than downright square with everybody.| He seemed always to shake hands with the best there was in| you, and never take any account of the worse part of you. Didn’t seem to know what a duffer he was meeting up with anyway. Everybody knew his hobby, and called him, in friendly spirit always, “Old Man Co-operation.” He used to say, “If any three of us farmers would stick together on one thing for the good of the community, the rest of the community would wade through fire ant_l brimstone to follow. But the trouble is no three of us: ever stick. Every one of us could multiply his own horsepower| 10 times over by hanging on to one another’s coat tails.” \ “Old Man Co-operation” was always talking about ’’com-| munity glue.” “Glue guaranteed to stick a community together, so’s an ox team can’t budge ’em apart.”” A community house| for farmers is a “community glue” factory. Talking matters, over—talking ’em over every now and then, saves the day for| the community just as it does for the family. | ey e —————— K EEHEEKKKKKKKKXF KK ¥|ing here last Saturday evening and | Jens drew a fine smile when he came .

The price may go up or down as the markets of the world may dictate, the quantity of products may vary as the demand for them varies, but the quality which has been established by specifica- tions determined with scientific exactness, remains fixed. Only an organization financially secure, phy- sically well-equipped -and directed by men men- tally alert, could maintain the high standard of quality ‘which has_ been the crowning achieve- ment of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an organization‘of 25,000 experienced, capable men and women who are carrying out with enthu- siasm the plans and policies formulated by 7 trained directors. 5 These plans'and policies are designed to furnish /maximum service to the public, regular profit- able employment to the personnef and protection - to the.more:than $200,000,000 which the stock- Eolders have invested in the business. In_furnishing service to the .public no single factor is so important as the insistence upon a uniform high quality.of every gallon of product manufactured, an insistence which is felt in the most remote corner of the organization and of the 11 states,served by the Company. Take, as an example, Red Crown gasoline. This is but one of fifteen kinds of gasoline manufac- tured and sold:by this organization. Each is made to meet certain uses for which gaso- line is needed. Red Crown is made for use in the modern internal combustion engine and for this purpose it has no superior. Red Crown is the last word in a gasoline for power purposes. That this is generally recognized is attested by the fact that last year 725,000,000 gallons were sold and used by the people of the Middle West. This tremendous volume is the inevitable result of uniformity, high quality and reasonable price. 1t is but one phase of the business but it serves to cymbolize the earnest, honest endeavor which every individual connected with the.organiza- tion is putting forth to enable the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to furnish the public a highly essential service. i Standard Oil’>C(§mpany_ (Indiona) 910 So.
