Peter H. Wikoff built these buildings in 1868 and occupied one, as the sign indicates, as a meat market. He had been in business at 120 North Water street when the building was destroyed by fire. This was perhaps the first fire in catur. The women brought out their blankets to be used to smother out the fire.

Mr. Wikoff moved into his building in South Park street. Dr. Stapp owned the lot east of Mr. Wikoff building and -decided to put up a business house.

The workmen in excavation undermined the Wikoff building and it Mr. Wikoff owned the block from North Park to' William street and decided to build in North Park, and later built up the greater part of the block in good business buildings.

STUDENT BUREAU AT MILUKIN IS DOING NICE WORK Calls from Housewives for Help Come in Slowly As Yet, However The Students' Service Bureau at Milllkln: opening its fourth successful season this" has already supplied several harried housewives with the help they need "with their children or their houses. Because last week was the -first of the', school term, applications for work and calls for help- came in rather slowly. Several of the girls, with experience behind them, are asking for positions in business offices where they can do part time. outside of office hours.

Two women have asked to be sup-nlied with students who will do part of the housework in return for free room rent. The hours they are asking the girls to give to the work are very short, and the room attnac- I tlVe. UP lO U1Q piCBCUl umO JThelma Elliott, who ta at the neau of the bureau this year, has been unable to supply the girls. All applications for help go through Miss Elliott's hands. She Can be reached at any hour of the school day through the Millikln office.

When the Roxana Petroleum corporation, which recently took over the Crystal company interests in Decatur, builds its proposed filling-stations, Decatur will have 32 or 33 places, for gasoline and oil, known to the-trade as "filling stations." There are now 29 filling stations in Decatur. This does not count the curb stations of which there are a number scattered throughout the city. Outlying stores have them and there remain some from the days before the modern filling station with its drive-days was developed on rigate property in this community. Not Enough Yet It was said Saturday that it would be a safe statement that there place for gasoline and oil for every 1,000 inhabitants in the city. The Roxana corporation plans the erection of three or four more of them just as soon as good sites can be picked and some of the companies are also said to have their eyes open for -more sites, so it would appear that the filling station idea hag not yet been overdone in this city, at least not from the investment standpoint, as the companies see it.

The number of cars is growing steadily and filling stations mqst be provided for this increase in the cars. It is said that a filling station will sell on an average of 40 Ogallons of gasoline a day. Operate on Narrow Margin ThaCdpes not indicate a big return in these Says of 16.2 cent gasoline, when the margin of profit is not as wide as it was when gas was selling for 20 cents. Tank wagon prices of gasoline to the filling station are said to. be only 2 cents less than the retail price, which gives the proprietor of the station but 2 cents for shrinkage, expense and profit.

The money, plainly, is in the 'volume of business done, and private operators express satisfaction over the business that comes their way. In some instances ground is rented and it is figured that this expense runs from $100 to $150 a month. Two men are usually required at a station and. this labor expense runs more than $200 a. month for bolh of them.

540,000 Gallons a Month But just to show that the future isn't so dark for the oil companies as might be believed, it might be added that Decatur and surrounding territory used- 640,000 gallons of gasoline in July of this year alone.
