Thos. Driver of Barkley tp,, returned Sunday from his trip to Lewiston, Mich. He was so favorably impressed with the country there that he purchased 80 acres, paying sl2 oO per acre therefor. He unfortunately got mixed up in a bad runaway while there and got kicked on the leg by one of the horses, whioh came near breaking the bone. He is getting along nicely now, however, and expects to go back next week with another party who wants to buy there. Owing to the high price of print pap9r and other material that enters into the making of a newspaper, the Lake County Star announces that its subscription price will be advanced to $1.50 per year. The continual advancing prices of paper and printing material, which has nearly doubled in the past dozen years—and income items more than doubled—is becom* ing a serious matter for newspaper men, and many are advancing the subscription price of their publication to in part cover this great increase in cost of production.

Lake County Star: The north part of the county, where numerous orimes are daily committed, ought to be put under military law, with pickets thrown out around it, and no one allowed tq_@nter or leave without proper credentials, and that is perhaps all the way that territory <sftn be tamed as long as Gary is building. Not until the great work of finishing that city is done can the people be insured of their lives. The inhabitants there admit it is not safe for anybody to getaway from the main parts of the place, especially in the outskirts, where brush and marshes furnish concealment for the pirates. It is not popular, we know, with the grafters who are continually trying to break into the county treasury for anyone to object to any scheme that is presented to spend the people’s. money, but there are numerous instances where objections should be made, and if The Democrat’s frequent urgings that the taxpayers meet and select a non-partison committee to carefully scrutinize every item that is proposed for taking the money out of the treasury and strenuously object to illegal and uncalled for expenditures were heeded, thousands of dollars would be saved to taxpayers of the county each year. So long as the people persist, however, in electing partisan county councils they must do something like the above or suffer the oonsequenoes.
