As steel goes, so goes Industry, indicates paralysis in many other The shutdown of the steel industry lines. Similarly, a revival in the steel industry booms and braces In dustry and business generally. Indiana has seen renewed activity in the great steel mills of the Latke county region. Reports from the east show a tremendous new activity in the Steel mills generally. The "get busy" order sent forth in the east is promptly reflected In the middle west and Gary and Duluth alike arise and stir and take part in the advance of prosperity and restoration. It is estimated steel products exported equal to 15 per cent of all the country is able to produce, lu ten months, up to .May 1. the United States exported iron and steel manufactures valued at $167,000,069. In May and June orders were placed in this country for Js.otMi freight cars. In the preceding nine months the orders had been for 18.000 cars. Very naturally Wall street has taken on a hopeful tone due to the situation in the iron aid steel business. The signs of the limes give occasion for general hopefulness and for general activity.—lndianapolis Daily Times. You know it’s hard for the average person to convince himself that we just exactly needed that little shower of last evening but perhaps we did. This is the "sticky hot" weather when one feels more like hiking off to the lake or woods to rest and discover the bidden charms of nature, bitt some must stay and keep tilings moving. So you might as well smile and say to yourself or better still, say it out loud so your neighltor will hear it: "This is a pretty good sort of world, taking it all together; in spite of the grief and sorrow we meet, in spits of the rotten weather. There are friends to love and hopes to cheer and plenty of compensation. WHEN THE THERMOMETOR Rises Don’t Lei Your Temper fly Up With Ji!

JT’S UP TO YOU Program Best Ever—Man* i ? jf »• 4-i - t •■. * k - • ejewagement Good—Weather Should ftJQt SfQP UIndications for a Chautauqua here next year is not verly bright at this time. The program this year is unquestionably the best ever given in this city. The management of the ehautauqua has been in every way satisfactory but weather conditions bnve been very much against the financial success of the big week. The rains of the past several weeks so delayed the farmers that but few of them bought tickets or have found time to attend. Quite a number of pledged tickets wore not taken and the guarantors were called upon to take forty six extra tickets. incidents added to the fact that it b is rained every day excepting one since the ehautauqua opened, makes tin matter of deciding upon a similar event for next year a little difficu’t. The Redpath company will not return unless they are guaranteed the sale of 700 tickets at $2.50. a total c.f $1,750 and they have 100 cities waiting to take Decatur's place when they drop out. However, they prefer returning to those cities where they have started and will make all reasonable effort to secure a renewal of the contract here. It lias been suggested that seventy men each take ten tickets and )>e hold responsible .'or them and this way may develope into the only method by which the cliautauqua can be given. You are urged to express your opinion. The Chautauqua is at least a delightful week of refined and uplifting enlerta'ninent. Do you wish to do without ’t or do you want it again? It's very largely up to you. NO TRESPASSINGAll hunting and trespassing on the Wetsel farms in Washington town ship is htdfctl: forbidden.

' Gave G-"»at Pffy William Owen and his six supporters, actors and actresses of the finest type, gnd ability last evening pre sented to a tent packed to Ils cap:city, the modern drama. "The gervant in the Ho'* l ’®-" by Charles Rann K< inedy. Tlie curtain arose at eight o'clock and until eleven o'clock the audience followed closely every steii of the drama as it unfolded its great moral and lesson, the central thouglit being "If a man says 1 love God, and hateth his lirother. he Is N""liar; for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, can he love God whom he hath not seen?” The universal brotherhood of man; the awakening of a vicar to the true purpose of' his calling, through the false comprehension of his brother-in-law. a bishop, and thetrue mission as seen by his own brother, a bishop of another type: the influence of a lining liut idolatrous wife on "her husband and his life-work; and the love of a lather tor his child, carrying that love through poverty, bitterness and degradation, and how love like a magnet draws all together at last, is beautifully told in the play. William Owen, Earl Mcßeth. William Linjquist. J. W. McConnell. Robert Stevens. Misses Sarah Wiley and Margaret Ulrich. were the jnembers of the com pany. With only the rude ehautauqua stage for a setting, the chjef charm of the play was in the consummate skill of the actors, who were wonderful in their presentation, making the audience forget their surroundings, and almost believe they were seeing a drama in actual life. The heavy downpour of rain last evening, M on the previous evening, destroyed the continuity of the presentation, as necessary to drop the curtain several tftnes during the play until the rain ceased, as there was much difficulty in hearing. As on the prior evening, the rain eeased bjffore the audience was dismissed, and a wetting was escaped. Those in the tent were quite comfortable. the rain aflecting only those nearest the large center poles. Children Have Treat. . .. s r The children had a great treat at the first children's hour service this morning. Miss Vivian Ditto, a charming children's worker, told the little folks Indian folk tales and taught them dances and the hour, altogether, was a charming one. The children are looking forward eagerly to tomorrow when she will take up Russian folk tales and dances. The morning lecture "A Man's Thinking and his Nation," by R. F. Pattison Kline, the morning hour lecturer, was the first of a splendid serfetf of lectures, full of good practical things. His lecture this afternoon on "The Disease of Democracy." was equally splendid. Tomorrow morning his lecture is "A Man's Thinking and His Children." These lectures arc well illustrated from tiie writings of modern autliors anl playwrights. R. E. P. Kline is well adapted and well trained for the interpretation and presentation of the world's best lit erturn. For many years Mr. Klimkas been a teacher, reader and lecturerer. and for eight years taught rhetoric. literature and vocal expression in two leading educational institutions. Jn 1!H»4 and lfb>s he was secretary of the National Speech Arts association and since that time he has been a member of its official board. Scientific Night. Tonight is scientific night.

From My Narrow EB|j Little Window THE HOOSIER OBSERVER HL: J The Practical vs. the Bfautlful Th? Bursted Cabbage v». the Rose

St ciiautauqua yesterday. Dr. < has.. E. Barker gave five rules for "How to lie Always Happy.” Two of them were: "Accept cheerfully the place in life that is yours, believing that Is the best possible, place for you. and "Jhrow your whole soul and spirit into your work, and do it the best you know how " That’s the very strain of a set of verses —or whatever you may call them that I wrote several years ago, and wiiich J dug out of uiy manuscrips in the garret when I ducked back from the window yesterday am! tiosod aroum) for something to fill up while tlie ehautauqua was in progress. The very ear-marks of an amateur “author” arc that he always wants to explain "how he happened to write the article. A magazine recognizes the ear marks of amateurishness every time, when a “pome” is sent in accompanied by several pages, written in a cramped, laborious chirograph?, telling just how he became inspired to write that very "masterpiece." Well, this “pome." which 1 dug out of my "author's hope box" was written so long ago. that 1 have forgotten just why 1 wrote it. but I imagine that I grew dissatisfied with being a “cabbage” in life, envied a "rose." and then from some philosophical turn, veered around and decided like Dr. Barker, that after all. maybe it was best to cheerfully be a "cabbage” until you could be something else- even if it is only a burst cd or cracked cabbage head. After all there is something very nearly alike in the structure of a cubage head and a rose, isn't there —I mean tlie way the cabbage leaves ami the ' rose petals arc arranged, even if their | uses arc different? Wi 11. I just imagine that maybe, when 1 was in tliat mood, i happened to lie passing through a garden—but anyhow, however. it was. I wrote the following: • • • • Prologue.

BLUFFTON WANTS HALL. Bluffton. Ind.. July 16—Two hundred petitions asking for a hall in this city as memorial to the veterans of '.Veils county, of fill American wars. i were put in circulation here today. The movement has the backing of many propiinent citizens in addition to tlie G. A. R. posts of the county. The petitions must bear the signatures of a majority of the voters in the county. They will be placed in the hands of the county commissioners and tlie county council, who may authorize the appropriation of $50,000 for a building in compliance witli a law passed by the 1913 legislature.

Each thing in its place is best." —Janigfellow. Epilogue A lovely rose in a garden grew. No word in its praise was left unspoken By people who passed through. Near by its side, grew a cabbage head: But not a look of notice was given By those who passed ifs bed. Lovers came: l|d plucked the rose,, new-blown For Her: "O love! Here is thy likeness. Let it adorn its own!" The cabbage sighed—lts heart rent in twain — “For us the same hand caros: the same dew Falls: the same earth mundane, Its nourishment gives. And yet, 0 why Should 1 so different—useless—be! —Methinks that I shall die.” The lovers, at length, returned that way. She. tired and wan as the now faded rose That moved with each heart play Os the snow-white bosom where it lay. "Ijovc fed on roses alone, will Etherize and fade away." Musing thus, they looked around. 'Tis meet That we more sustenance take. “Then— They both of them did eat — Os the Cabbage that had highed itself in twain.
