OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS fi FOR THE COMMON SAFETY The street traffic problem is proving an embanassmgnt to cities of all sizes, and it is as acute in the small city as in the large one. The advent of the automobile has qomplicated it, for it has developed the tendency to use the public street as a stor- age place rather than an avenue for moving traffic. ‘As a rule the conditions in the small city in a restricted area are worse than in the metropolis, for in the latter the exigencies of the case have forced upon the community the adoption of regula- tions of some sort intended to keep the streets reasonably clea_r. and where a population reaches hundreds of thousands, or mil- lions, the work of the traffic officer is more impersonal than it can be in a small place where the cop on the corner knows the name and family history of most of the people whom he meets. In the large cities there are regulations regarding the park- ing of cars which at least some attempt is made to enforce. There are regulations regarding speeding, loitering, the use of lights, and driving on the proper side of the street, of all of which the public is conscious, and which, while often violated, are at least enforced sufficiently to keep them alive. In the small town we have a fashion of enacting ordinances and making regulations, and then forgetting all about them. The trouble is that many of us would regard it as a personal dis- courtesy on the part of a traffic officer for him to apply all the rules in our particular cases.

BRITISH GOLFERS SEEM | PEEVED OVER INVASION | New York, May 7.—England is ;trying hard not to take seriously the | American golf invasion this summer. News that the largest and most representative bedy of amateurs from America would compete in the Brit- {ish championships and that a big Isum of money was being raised to Isend a strong professional group across caused some pessintistfc feel- ‘ing; among the London golfers. British newspapers have been de- voting considerable space in an effort to assure their readers that the Brit- |ish supremacy in golf is not threat- ened. The rather poor showing of Miss Alexa Sterling in her early games has done much to (increase this feel- ing. ' Referring to Miss Sterling’s game one of the London papers said re- cently: “Miss Sterling plays very little. Her proficiency being due very lar; ly .to her own study and observa- tion.” — e r! New York critics ranl: the role of| 'the delicatessen dealer as a parallel achievement to David Warfield’s “Music | present the comedy which is expected |to draw crowds from all over the country side. The dates for the Bemidji were jnaking the journey. Included fin this was the announcement that \Francis Ouimet would form one of the party. This was then contradict- {ed but last week we were officially informed that Ouimet had definitely * decided to visit England with the view of annexing the British ama-| teur championship. Once again that! was contradicted because the pres- sure of business and his home would | - not allow him to'leave. Now we hearl I arette again he is coming. . | “So fas as Ouimet is concerned it is immaterial to us whether he crosses the Atlantic or not, but we do desire! an end to this apparently inevitable American propaganda whenever any- thing sporting is concerned.” { To seal in the delicious Burley - tobacco flavor.

Originally we were given aled by all. the law. list of United States amateurs whul Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Foster and Wholesale arrests are unnecessary, and would be impoli- " tic. Most of the violations of traffic regulations are the result of thoughtlessness, and not of malice.

The citizen who is rightly con-| stituted will accept such a warning good-naturedly, will be more! cautious in future, and will give the officer his moral support in! restraining the impetuosity of others.

S g et When the evening meal is over and you indulge in your hour or two of reflection, is your business uppermost in your| mind? It shouldn’t be. It but adds to the general mental fatigue which already weights you down. Possibly you have a home, a lawn, a back yard and a gar- den. Thinking and planning for their improvement will afford your tired brain the change and relaxation it requires. That hour of reflection each day will produce wonderful results if employed in the proper manner, whereas continued concentration upon affairs of business will blunt your intellect and weaken your powers of perception. Grass will not grow without water to nurse it along, and either will the brain continue to function without the rest that is necessary to replenish its exhausted vifality.

The very low purchase price | of the Oakland Sensible Six is made possible only by the huge manufacturing resources behind the car, and the con- centration of these resources upon the production of a single chassis type. The effi- ciency of this chassis gives the Oakland owner a combination : of ability and economy un- equaled inany otherautomobile ' OAKLAND [l SENSIBLE SIX THIS BIG PRICE REDUCTION IS BOUND TG INCREASE THE DEMAND FOR THE OAKLAND—PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW TOBE SURE OF GETTING YOUR | CAR WHEN YOU WANT IT. £ : Impartial tests made on authority of the Gov- ernment proved Red Crcwn surpassed the speci- fications set by the Government for its require- ments of motor gasoline. These facts indicate the ideals of service which animate the activi- ties of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in every department of its business. OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR mmmwwml | Back to Earth ! We all had to speed up during the war. It didn’t matter how much it} cost to get a thing done, just so it was done fast. Hence it frequently was considered all right to pour money down the sewer, just so if produced speed. | “We've got to get that idea out of our heads,” says the general man-| ager of a big corporation. “Mark you, I don’t mean that we can slow down. | We've all got to buckle in and work harder than ever—to make business good again and to pay off our enormous national debt. ’ “During the war, my office went on a telegraph and long-distance-phone| basis. I'm having an awful time getting that idea out of their heads. When| they want a pencil, their first thought still is to wire for it. “Weve got to get rid of that idea—and go back to the old-time way of | doing things on an economical basis, back to a postage-stamp instead of a| telegraph schedule. The war-time spending drunk is over. This is the cold gray dawn of the morning after.”—Minneapolis Daily News. To maintain the quality of a product when the demand is normal is a general practice. It is when demand is pressing and the supply is low that insistence upon maintained quality is a true: measure of a manufacturer’s integrity. ._......‘____q__._n..., To maintain the quality of each product at the point set by the technical staff is an outstanding characteristic of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Red Crown is a good example. ’ Pooling of profits is a pretty theory, but when the farmer, for instance, sells wheat for one dollar that cost two dollars to raise, who will share in the pool wjth him?—St. Paul Dispatch.

Another is Fortnite long-time burner oil, This product is used in railway signal lamps. These signals are often located at_points remote from human habitation. For public safety their un- interrupted service is of the utmost importance. It is essential that the oil shall burn with a clear, bright flame for days at a time without attention.
