Approximately 600,000 Indiana people have bought Liberty Bonds. That meftjis there are about 2,500,000 who have not or cannot buy bonds. But they can buy war savings stamps. Uncle Sam has made it simple and easy.
The Indiana war savings committee Intends to give recognition to the state's war savings patriots. Every county that equals or exceeds its share of this $7,500,000 quota for the week of May 27 to June 3 will receive a war saving® fag to fly alongside of Old Glory and its Liberty Loan flag. To get your quota, multiply your county population, as estimated by the census bureau for July 1st, 1917, by $2.50.
In addition to this a war savings flag of different design will be awarded each of the first ten counties which, during the state-wide drive, produce the most purchasers, In proportion to their population, of $25 worth or more of stamps.
Indiana ejxpects every Hoosler to !o his duty this week. Let that be your motto for the drive. Remember, Indiana in first place In the union by June 1.
BAIT CUTTERS' GRIEF.
In the Wall Street Journal of Thursday there was an iateresting plaint frofn a fisherman who is fearful lest theiugh cost of fishing discourage the art. He argues that the government price-fixers overlooked something when they failed to 11* the price of fishing tackle. Beef, pork and mutton are soaring and larger fish catches would help to keep meat prices down. The trout season is on, but alas, the sport Is almost prohibitive. The be
ft*
Th* baseball public everywhere Is talking about the
(wonderful
back" of N'apoleo^" Lajoie, who has carried off the highest honors of the International League In face of the strongest kind of competition and this after twenty-three years of service when it was thought that this veteran of many seasons was getting too old for the game. He was both manager and ftar player of his pennant-win-ning team and his showing was so remarkable that Major League Clubs throughout the country have been seeking him with golden offers for the present season. Interest, in Mr. Lajoie's case and the cause to which he attributes his astonishing strength and energy are increased when it is recalled that ten years is generally the limit of a ballplayer's usefulness In the Major Leagues and long ago the famous Dr. Osier declared that men over forty had passed the best years of their lives. But, both men and women of this age should be at their best if, like Na-
ginner in years gone by could not get along very well with a $6 fly rod. The same rod costs $10.80 today, an increase of 80 per cent. One of the best handmade rods used in America formerly cost $35, and it now costs $40, an increase of 15 per cent. A lowgrade reel cost 90 cents two years ago, and now it costs $2.40, an increase of 165 per c«nt. An ordinary enameled line formerly cost $1, and now it costs $2.50, an increase^ of 150 per cent. High-grade waterproof hydostatic lines now cost $6, compared with $3.50 several years ago, an increase of 70 per cent. Artificial American-made files, which formerly cost $1 a dozen, now cost $1.25 to $1.50 a dozen. Railroads collect a tax on trips to the fishing streams. Hotel charges are up 50 per cent. It can be figured out scientifically that the average cost per trout caught this year, computed on a basis of property investment. Is about $5 apiece for the amateur and $2 for the professional.
A REAL PROMISE.
Admiral Sims is an exceedingly important factor in the part that America is taking in the war, but his talkativeness is in nowise proportionate to his importance. He has spoken seldom an3 has said little since he was sent to command the torpedo boat fleet. His high position, his intimate acquaintance with the naval situation gained at close quarters and the fact that he is far from garrulous all combine to give his words weight.
He says today that within a fortnight the corner may be turned and the U-boats placed definitely on the losing side through the Increased effectiveness of the defense and the growing speed of ship production.
Knowing as he does that the United States hopes to have an army numbered in millions in Europe and that It will be his duty to keep th$ sea lanes open for them and their supplies, Admiral Sims would not have ventured such a prediction without good grounds, and the Germans, who are now striving desperately for a decision upon land, know those grounds as well as he does.
FOR MEN READER8.
Fashion, which wears out more apparel than does woman, will not be beaten out of its dictatorship by any scheme of -standarized dress. The leaders who are agitating for standardization befoj^ the convention of Federated Women's Clubs at Hot Springs shftuld know their sisters well enough to know that Femininity consents to go into natty uniforms for purposes of war or for other practical service. It» will never, while in its right mind, give up the advantages of variety and color hi wearing apparel which It has held long over an adoring masculinity clad In all the severity of the single sartorial patterns.

What This Baseball Marvel Says About Nuxated Iron
When a man gets past forty, some people seem to think he is finished, especially where athletics are concerned. But I believe the way I play today proves that the strength, vitality and youthful ginger which are the chief assets of young fellows, can be possessed to just as great a degree by a man of my age if he keeps his blood filled with iron.

of fashion they have a case. But the way to beat tyranny is not to substitute one tyrant for another. Not standardization, but individualism In dress, is the thing to establish. Style at its best is a personal and not a general quality. Mrs. A. has it in one manifestation, Mrs. B. in another. It is the height of folly for one of these women to assume that she must wear this or that because the other does, even though the other be re-enforced by Mrs. c. and Mrs. D. "When our boys come back," says a man at Hot Springs, ''they will want to see charm, beauty and loveliness— not a uniformed womanhood." But to perfect the Joy of the sight, each loveliness should be displayed in attire to suit its own caste. Artistry is in her who makes the dress really to fit the woman. Economy lies that way as well, since most becoming effects may wrought even in less costly goods. And what becomes one prettily todayneed not be shelved tomorrow, once fashion's sway is broken.
DAY OF RECKONING.
A favorite Prussian dictum is that a treaty is merely a scrap of paper. The kaiser is, accordingly, well qualified to appraise the treaty he has just forced upon Roumania at the point of the bayonet.
It is inconceivable that Roumania's allies will permit that hard-pressed kingdom to be mulcted in the manner specified by the peac© of Bukharest. Justice to Roumania may be delayed until the day of the allied victory, but it will not be denied to a member of the democratic alliance as courageous, faithful and effective as she has been.
Roumania Is a victim of circumstances not of her own making. It is idle now to complain that the kingdom might have been saved, had better strategy controlled the allies early in the war. That is past history now. The long and short of it is that Roumania has been sacrificed, and that on the day of reckoning the buzzards now feasting upon a fallen champion will be forced to disgorge.
Austria and her Teutonic over-lord are fond of discussing "frontier rectifications." They will hear much more on the subject before they have paid the piper in full. If good cheer is still possible to a people who have suffered as the Roumanians have suffered, the people now being victimized by the German strong-arm may be or good cheer for in two important particulars Roumania's position has its consolations.
The Roumanians retire from the democratic alliance with the good will of the allies. They are assured that the injustice of their involuntary peace will be rectified when the-day of accounting arrives.

Soldiers' Letters

Soldier Letters to the Tribune.
From Harold Cade.
Mrs. M. A. Cade, of 1240 Wabash avenue, has received the following letter from her son, Harold Cade, Camp Columbia:
Camp Jackson, Columbia, S. C., Field Hospital, 323, April 2. Dear Mother:—I received your most welcome letter. I sure was glad to hear from you. I do not want you to worry about me, for I am well. I get all I want to eat, good bed, plenty of covers, clothes, and, what more does a man want for $30 per? How many of the boys have left home? There are 10,000 coming here this week. Now, mother, I am going to tell you something, and I don't want you to worry But I am expecting to go over in a month or six weeks. And I want to go, for I would not feel like a soldier of the U. S. A. if I do not go and do my bit for my comrades that are doing the fighting for their country and their loved ones at homo. Of course, won't do any fighting, or be close to it, for I am far from it in a base hospital, butf I can do my part by trying to save some mother's boy or some girl's sweetheart waiting for his return from the hell and lire -of the front. But I have not gone yet, for they called me for another examinatnon for my head and ear. It may keep me from going. But if they turn me down I want to come home. I don't want to be a soldier and stay here and have anything I want and let my pals cross and leave me bhjnd. Well, mother, I will write you again Tuesday from somewhere, whether I am here or in some other camp. Your loving son,
HAROLD.
From Charles J. Pierce.
Mrs. Ed Pierce, of Clinton, Ind., has received the following letter from her son, Charles J. Pierce, from Camp Taylor, Ky.:
Dear Mother:—Have arrived at camp all right, and hope this reaches you all well and happy. I seem to like the army life all right. It bothered me a little leaving home, till I got down here. We sure had some ride coming down, and got in camp about 10 o'clock Monday night. Then we had little hike around the camp, then had supper at. 12 o'clock. Got in bed at 12:30. We get up at 5 in the morning. 'We heve plenty good feed: Breakfast, hash, meat, wheat biscuits, coffee. Dinner, peas, tomatoes, potatoes, prunes and cocoa. Supper, potatoes, tomatoes and coffee. We wash our own dishes, make our own bed, sweep around the bed, and get down stairs right away for drilling. It would be some fun for you all to see the boys drilling, for it is awkward for some of them, but I think I do good just for starting. This is a big camp, and we can get anything we want here. I just came from the store. I got two 25c towels, soap and comb and stamps. We can get writing paper for nothing. I was over to the doctor's today for my eyes. The wind is pretty bad here, and It makes it bad on the eyes. We took the examination today. It is some fun. We have to be in bed at 10 o'clock. Well, tell father and Repc that it would be nice for them to see the camp, and hello to all friends. Will write soon and tell you more next time. Your loving son, Charlie Pierce, 31st Co. 8, 139th brigade, Camp Taylor, Ky.

First Quality Has Put Chandler in First Place
men talk now of fine cars selling at me* dium prices they speak first of the Chandler. Because, for five years, the Chandler has been such a good car, so well built, so dependable in its service on the road. And because now, so distinctly, it offers extraordinary value.
The most distinguished feature of the Chandler Six is its marvelous motor—Chandler-designed and Chandler-built—which, through five years of refinement without radical changes, has been developed to a point approximating perfection.
The life, pick-up, power and endurance of the Chandler motor have been a revelation to thousands of experienced motorists.
The Chandler motor is mounted in a really great chassis, and Chandler bodies offer an attractive range of choice.
