"William Tottle Will "Withdraw Printing and Establish a Feed Business.
From
William Tuttle,. of Crown Point, was in Gary today looking for a suitable location In which to start in the hay, feed and grain business. Mr. Tuttle is now engaged in the painting business at the county seat, but owing to ill health he will move to Gary in a short time and will embark in the feed business, as there is only one other concern of this nature in Gary. Mr. Tuttle thinks that the prospects look very bright here. He has obtained an option on several suitable locations.

Gary people are very well satisfied
with the weather, thank you.

The patient seldom ever knows any
thing about the medicine the doctor gives him, and neither does the doctor

with street car hogs, but a walk down
Broadway will convince you that we have many street hogs.
Now that the deer hunting season is over it will be perfectly safe for
Gary people to wear their fur over coats without danger of being shot.
Only twenty-two more days until
Christmas.. No need of putting off buying father's Christmas present until the last day. Now is the time when the Gary coal man is laughing with fiendish glee. If you think its any snap to be a Gary policeman just ask Chief Martin to let you serve as a special one of these cold nights. One of the finest pictures that we know of for a moving picture machine
GARY MOTHERS WANT
THE SPIRITUAL SANTA
Hold Meeting and Decide on
What Is Best for Their Children.
Poor old kind-hearted Santa Claus was relegated to the rear yesterday, consigned to the Ananias club and
doomed to oblivion by the decree of
the Mothers club of Gary. At the same
time the recently popular Teddy bear
was brought upon the "green carpet'
and subjected to no less scathing a de
nunciation. Throughout It all, how
ever, the Teddy bear hugged to its claim of popular favor and after the nd of the grueling, still held a warm
place in some of the hearts of the
mothers.
Waiting . intently for the arrival of their mothers from the meeting at the
Jefferson school building, the children
of Gary were able to get Just a slight inkling of what they were to receive for Christmas in the way of toys. They waited breathlessly to see whether or not the automobile, the fire engine, the sled or bicycle would be tabooed and what the association of mothers would conclude to indorse. After all, however, there were but three things which drew the fire of discussion in which there was great emphasis laid upon its Indorsement or

always been one of the all-absorbing questions in each individual home. In Gary it was decided almost unanimous
ly that the myth of the alleged being would be revealed to the child, and
hereafter on all future Twenty-fifths of
December he should be known as the
essence of generosity and kindness as imbued in the human being.
Santa Claus will hereafter be repre
sented not as any creature which may
exist, but as a type for which the children should strive to exemplify, especially upon Christmas day.
As far as the fate of the Teddy bear
is concerned, the jury disagreed. Many expatiated its cause in the belief that
it made the children more tender and
loving; that It was more practical than
a doll, and should by all means remain
a part of the children's playthings,
Others were equally convinced that the Teddy bear sapped from the child much
of its paternal Instinct which is most
highly developed In the play with dolls
Upon this question the mothers agreed
to disagree and the Teddy bears will
occupy a prominent place in the home of some of the mothers, while in others
they will be abandoned and 'forgotten,
mere was one thing, however, In
which they were as unanimous in indorsing as they were in opposing the
Santa Claus myth, and that was the
purchase of blocks for children. Blocks
they said, appealed to the imagination
of the child and to its ingenuity. Great
good can be had in playing with blocks
and so far as they could discover, there lurked no possible harm, providing the child didn't play "cyclone" too
often.
At the meeting of the club yesterday
it was decided not to hold another meeting until after the holidays, at which time the fathers will be invited
to attend a social function provided by
the mothers, at which the subject of
children for the time being will be
omitted. They have not yet decided upon the date, but it will be soon after
the holidays.
The officers of the Gary Mothers
Kindergarten club who were elected yesterday are: Mrs. J. E. Metcalf,
president; Mrs. N. Alschuler, vice presi
dent, and there have been two members
of the executive committee appointed,
The appointees are Mrs. J. E. Hammons
and Mrs. Engleburt It is understood that Miss Anna Kupples Is to be made a member of the executive committee and there will be one other appoint

reason to expect will go dry, we will begin our Invasion of Lake county."
Counts on Repnblleaa Resentment. "What do you think your chances
are of carrying Lake county?" Mr. Bruce was asked.
"I do not know much about the northern part of the county, but I do know that there is a sentiment against the saloons in this part of the county and I think the majority down here want them put out of the business." "Do you think that the resentment of the republicans over the defeat of Watson will have much effect on the result In the case a county election is held to vote on the exclusion of the saloons?" "We are counting on that," said Mr. Bruce, enthusiastically. "You see, the republicans all over the state lay the defeat of Watson at the door of the breweries. The democrats stood pat for Marshall, and the breweries converted enough liberal republicans to defeat Watson. "But the old line republicans," he continued, "feel the defeat of Watson bitterly and they are going to vote against the breweries and saloons which were responsible for it." Warned Them to De Good. "The Lake county republicans cannot complain that they did not get an even break out of the saloons, can
they?"
"The saloons in Lake county on the
whole did not hurt tho republican
cause," said Mr. Bruce. "There were
Isolated districts, such as the Stand
ard settlement in Hammond, where the saloonkeepers did good work and there were several saloonkeepers over the
county, such as George Kaiser of
Crown Point, who were very active.
"We warned those fellows to be
good," continued Mr. Bruce, "but they thought we were Joking. Now they will have to take their medicine. We
have already punished Chris Lassen at
Cedar Lake by closing up his place.
and we are going after others, includ
ing Kaiser.
"We believe that the republicans in
Lake county will sign the petition for
a special election in Lake countv lust
to take a elap at the Indiana brewers.
whom they believe are responsible for
Watson's defeat.
Want - to "eliminate Breweries. "I have talked with a number of re
publicans," Mr. Bruce continued, "who
say they believe the only way to ellmi
nate the breweries from politics is to vote them out of business. Manv of
these men are what are known as lib
erals, but their friendship for old Jim
Watson was so strong that there is still a deep resentment in their hearts over his defeat. The temperance demo
crats will of course assist us."
The above interview will give a very good idea of the anti-saloon view of county local option and the people of Lake county may accept it as a ict that they will have tov ote one way or another on the question of excluding the saloons from the county, unless the movement gets a bad setback
down state. .
It is known that the saloonkeepers
at Cedar Lake will have a hard time, one and all, In getting licenses, and the Lake county board of commissioners will strictly observe the law in regard to highways when it comes to granting licenses.

In a certain store on Broadway in Gary yesterday afternoon, and was one which caused a great deal of merriment to the other customers in the

"Yes, ma'am, I does," said the black son of the south. "Ain't you all got no babbles?" "Haven't we got any what," said the startled miss, thinking he probably wanted a new brand of breakfast food.

"May the good Lord bless yoh." The sight of a darkey buying a bible completely had me going, laughed the
genial clerk after the purchase of the bible had been made and the darkey had left the store. "If he had asked for a razor or a set of dice I would have known in a minute what he wanted."

his salary. He also gets three cents for all postal money orders he sells In offices where there is a money order business done. Helps Htm In Bup8ines.
The postmaster in a small town is generally the village grocer who has the office in his store for the extra trade that it brings to his place of business. . When the cancellations in a fourth class office amount or exceed $1000 a year it is made a third class office. The salary, therefore, of a fourth class postmaster, never exceeds $1000 and it might be said, it very seldom reaches that amount. An office becomes first class when the salary of the postmaster exceeds $3000. The second class postmasters
get between $2000 and $3000 and the third class postmasters get between
$1000 and $2000. Heretofore the appointment of fourth class postmasters has been made by the postmaster general on the recommendation of the post office inspectors. Personnel of Lake County Offlcrs. It will be of interest to the people of Lake county to know there are 1,305 post offices in Indiana." Of that number but 221 are presidential offices, that is, of the first, second and third class. There are thirteen of the first class, sixty-nine of the second class 139 of the third class and 1084 of the fourth class. In Lake county alone there is one first class office, Hammond; three second class offices, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Gary; and three third class offices. Crown Point. Hobart and Lowell. The people of the county will be very much interested in knowing how the new plan of having the fourth class postmasters put under civil service will work out. - If it is a success it is understood that the plan will be adopted all over the United States.
