THE FARMER IS BRINGING BACK PROSPERITY.
THE GRUMPY PERSON, WHO, SINCE the depression of business set In a few months ago has done his best to throw water on any optimistic talk
of returning prosperity will doubtless be more glum than ever when he learns
that the prevailing tone of optimism in the Calumet region today is assum
ing greater proportions each day. There is not a manufacturer in the region
who is not hopeful and who does not see in the immediate future a resump
tion of industry that will warrant him in saying in all verity, "Prosperity
Is again here." All honor and credit to the man who in trying times refuses to lose his cheerfulness and hope. Sometimes it is extremely hard to do; it is' an effort perhaps, but it is every man's duty to at least look on the
bright side of things and say to the grouch "Get thee behind me Satan
If the manufacturing industries were idle and the crops throughout the land were a failure there might be some excuse for gloom, but the "wind has surely been tempered to the shorn lamb" for the crop reports from all
over the land indicate that the farmer at least is showing prosperity over the country and that is a very great deal. THE VIEW OF THE BIG MANUFACTURER.
A WELL KNOWN MANUFACTURER in the Calumet region makes it a rule to ask every applicant who comes to his place for work "Have you ever been discharged from a job?" If the applicant answers "Yes," his chances for a job are bright, but if he answers "No," they are dim. The man who has never been discharged must make an exceptionally favorable impression to overcome the handicap " My reason in this," says the manufacturer, "If the man has been discharged he is full of fight to hold the next job. If he has made mistakes he has had time to discover them, and he doesn't make the same ones again unless he is a complete idiot. Then the man who has been fired has had a valuable experience in the discharge itself. I have learned that at last half of the men who have been discharged have suffered an injustice. It doesn't prove by any means that they are incompetent. It may be that they failed to fit the place, that they were poorly handled, that their merit was not appreciated. It may prove that the man who discharged them was incompetent" In all of which there is ample food for though ofr both the employer and the employee. EAST CHICAGO'S WESTRUMITE HALED IN THE LIMELIGHT.
"AS A MAN THINKETH." Remember the almanac of yonr boyhood? You can see it now, in your mind's eye, invariably occupying Its place of honor near the kitchen stove, a household oracle often consulted as to the phases of the moon and the probabilities of the weather.
Remember how you puzzled over the elgns of the zodiac, whose diagram and hieroglyphics appeared on the inside cover? And how you laughed over the antiquated jokes? And how, In the dearth of reading In the household, you read the dismal description of diseases for which the exploited patent medicine was an unfailing panacea?
For Instance You read that "shortness of breath
and palpitation of the heart after vig
orous exercise were symptoms of heart disease. Sure! You had all the symptoms, and so on.
Only you did not worry about it
much. And In that respect you dif
fered from the adult who gets a like
suggestion from reading the advertise
ments of cure-alls and testimonials of marvelous recovery.
Think of that Scripture which de
clares
As a man thinketh In his heart, so
Is he."
A man gets it into his head that his
heart does not do Its work just right. He worries about it. Worry prevents sleep. It interferes with digestion. There is lack of nourishment, derange
ment. Each condition aggravates the other. The man is "run down." He
is really sick. And finally there is functional disorder brought about by
persistent wrong thinking.
"As a man thinketh in his heart." He who suggests to himself that he Is suffering from heart disease or liver trouble or stomach derangement and who goes on thinking so until It becomes a settled belief Is sure to get iL In large measure the converse Is tma.
lie who suggests to himself that he is In- vigorous health and persists in thinking so 1b likely to be in health. He says to himself over and over: "I am strong. I have plenty of vitality. I am healthy." And then somehow, by the mysterious power of mind over matter, he finally comes to be what he thinks himself to be. That is nil there is to the so called "new thought," or "auto-suggestion," or "suggestive therapeutics," and there Is a great deal of truth In them all. The medical world is just beginning to admit that, other things being equal
Crsfce4 thinfcinaj makes disease. Straight thinking makes health.

Bass went into a lot to feed his hogs and the animal attacked him. He could not escape and fought as best he could until downed by the Infuriated beast. At this stage of the battle two large dogs, seeing the trouble, went to their master's recue and soon had the animal down, when Bass managed to crowl from the lot.
RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS
THE STRIDENT CRY OF GRAFT comes again from East Chicago and as a result of an exciting meeting held under the auspices of the East Chicago Improvement association charges were were made by Col- R. D. Walsh that will need a good deal of explaining before some of the city officials can satisfy the taxpayers of East Chicago that there is not something vitally wrong in the administration of the city's affair. The Hammond city council has been considering Westrumite which is in the limelight at present in East Chicago and it might be will for the city fathers to ascertain if the Westrumite oil dressing can be bought from the Standard Oil company at 9 cents per gallon as Is charged by Col. Walsh. It is known that the question of Westrumite in Whiting is also handled quite gingerly by many of the taxpayers and it would be well for the officials of Hammond to go slow before using it on the streets . It may be all right and again it may not be. There are several city officials in Hammond who do not look very favorably upon it as a paving material.
Mr. Bryan Is making a great splurge by saying that he will accept no contributions from corporations. Don't try to pull the wool over our eyes, Mr.
Bryan. You couldn't accept them if you wanted to, because the law says
you shan't.

The Uoozern Spoiled It. To be fair the picnic for the most part of the day was an Ideal picnic. Before noon the program was carried out and a good many things of Interest was said by the speakers. The noon hour rassed off quietly, but along toward evening the booze fighters become very hilarious and it seemed that some people had come there for no other purpose but to scrap. It seems that somewhere and somehow that some of our officers are failing to do their duty when a crowd of drunken men are allowed to shoot up and cut up and disturb a picnic in such a manner. If this is continually permitted at our public gatherings the idea will grow in the law-violating element that they are not to be checked in their amusement and the officers will have a much harder job in quelling them than if they had took charge of them at the beginning.
