BUY AT HOME.

The Chamber of Commerce has been called on to deal wit*h agents who hauve appeared here and solicited orders for a stock of goods supposed to have been &..y lightered by the sunken steamship

Sultana, The Advertising club has discovered there was no such steamship as described In the handbills which were distributed from door to door and the attorneys for the business men are now waiting for the agents of the fictitious boat to re-appear here to deliver the goods when they will be clapped pf.? into jail and prosecuted under the new truthful advertising law. c£j No complicated reasoning is required to establish the justice In the position of the Advertising club. In this mat- '&*, ter it is trying solely to do a public ft' service and the case emphasizzes again the folly of the people in buying goods 5^ away from home and depriving the lo-

cal merchant of such trade as should be his by every right As a rule, such |j|» goods are dearly bought. They are

guaranteed by no one. If the steamer

I Sultana had any mercantile cargo that was worth while it would be bid in at salvage and no such elaborate sale scheme would be used as the sending •H-I3

beries should not occupy any of the time of the Chamber of Commerce.

THE GERMANS AND LIBERTY.

Hexamer emphaized that the organU zation stands for the perpetuation of friendly relations between the United States and Germany. The convention adopted the secretary's report, embodying the recommendation that nationwide prohibition be opposed.

The report of Secretary Adolph Timm, of Philadelphia, called attention to the plan of campaign of the prohibitionists as outlined at Atlantic City recently, and expressed the .belief that "strong agitation by the liberal element is absolutely necessary." The report added a recommendation that GermanAmericans obtain from their representatives copies of the Congressional Record as a reminder that they are following the doings of congress.

President Hexamer said recently that it was expected resolutions dealing with the prohibition question would be introduced before the convention during the session. The German-Ameri-cans, he said, were rather opposed to the method of prohibition than the result sought, and felt that education was a better means of controlling the drink habit.

Reports from various state leagues showed a membership of 2,500,000 and the existence of more than 10,000 Ger-man-American societies affiliated with the alliance.

THIS COMPLEX LIFE.

The following letter was received in the Tribune's mail Monday: Editor of the Tribune: What is the penalty in Vigo county for playing a phonograph in a flat from -10:30 until 12:02? ANXIOUS.'

At first blush this might seem a trival matter, but with all windows open, incident to tropic August days, it really deserves serious consideration. One of the first things that men had to learn when they began to live together in groups instead of wandering over the plains pretty much alone, was that, what was good for all was of vastly more importance than what was good for one, though in the long run the two were bound to become identical.

If life in a city illustrated this truth, surely life in a big city flat must be the (very essence of It. For if we live in groups in a city, surely we live in much closer groups in these great build#igs which house a dozen or a hundred families in such close proximity to each other. Here in the city flat, the average family has an ideal chance to demonstrate that spirit of co-operation and consideration for others which is the very backbone of civilization*.

The midnight apartment house piano player has come in for volupies of criticism and reproach. Gradually, thoughtful people are making it a rule not to indulge in melody and song, no matter how tuneful they may feel, much after 10 o'clock in the evening.

But that is not the only way that the flat dweller must exercise the group spirit The housekeeper knows these ways, perhaps, better than anyone else.

The woman who shakes her rugs over her neighbor's clean porch could hardly be called courteous—and surely she

hasn't learned even the A IC's of group living. She really belongs out on the plains where every family can be a law unto itself.

And after all, it is when we look at these little things as being truly expressive of larger principles they become really important and significant.

BUILD FROM THE BOTTOM.

A movement was set on foot Monday for the organization of the automobile owners of Vigo county into an association to co-operate with the state association in the advancement of the good roads movement. This is one project to the importance of which citizens all over the country are awakening. The economic value of good roads has long been realized, but appreciation of the comforts of travel through the use of the auto has enlisted a great army in the cause.

One of the really great conventions attracted to the Pacific coast this year is the Pan-American congress. The interest being shown in this gathering furnishes further evidence that the United States is becoming a nation of great road builders. Every section of the country will be represented. It will be a gathering differing from many of the past. The stage of missionary work, of education as to the desirability of good roads has passed. The value of the good roads movement no longer Is questioned.

The federal and state governments are joining hands to promote the work. Questions to be considered at the great roads congress cover every practical phase of highway improvement. The discussion will range over types of construction, methods of maintenance, principles of highway financing, values of different materials under varying conditions and studies of various systems of highway administration.

Three notable highway projects rapidly are becoming actualities rather than dreams. These are the Lincoln highway, extending east and west, from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast the Dixie Bee line, from Michigan to Florida and the Pacific coast highway, which, when completed, will span the Pacific coast states from Canada to Mexico. 7,

Congress will have a. session that will be memorable. Many changes in the personnel of both houses are prognosticated.

Washington, D. C., is subject to a rule "boldly than ever before disquieting. Scandals will be whispered more boldly than ever before and greed for money will bring about a cri&is in public affairs.

Unscrupulous methods of profiting by trade in the necessaries of life as well as the things that are unneces sary will bring about international scandals, the seers predict.

This is a lucky day for weddings, dinners and whatever pertains to the entertainment of persons of prominence. Distinguished visitors from aboard may bring overtures of friendship which will mean much in the future.

TUST as there is a better way in most everything, there is a bettef way out of .the laundry tl problem.
