UP AND DOWN IN I-N-D-I-A-N-A
NOT SENTIMENT, BUT SENSE.
The distribution of hundreds ot Sears & Roebuck catalogues In Hammond has aroused the merchants of the city. They are aroused, not because they are vexed to find themselves competing with an outside concern which has no Interest In the community, but because of the deception that is so plain in making the prices. This Is especially true in the case of the grocery catalogue of this company. The prices, In most Instances, are quoted on large quantities of goods which, if they were bought in the same quantity, for cash, freight paid by the customer, could be sold for the same prices, if not for a lower figure by the local merchant
When the prospective purchaser sees a price made on ten pounds of
herring, a barrel of sugar, a box of raisins, a whole cheese and does not stop to think that he is compelled to pay the freight op. the shipment and ; then add 25 cents express charges, together with an allowance for time and trouble in ordering and securing the shipment, he is inclined to think he Is getting a bargain. The facts are that the merchant 'will sell goods in email quantities 4 over the telephone, wrap them up and deliver them at the door to his customer at a price that Is as low and sometimes lower, considering the service, than Sears & Roebuck is able to make. ; A , . Let the housewife consider carefully the matter of purchasing from an outside concern. It is not a matter of sentiment. It is not a question, although as a matter of mutual benefit that ought to be considered, of trading at home. It is a matter of cold business Judgment. It is cheaper to trade with the local merchant ' - x Take your great Sears & Roebuck catalogue page for page to the men
you deal with, and though we are unauthorized to say so, we'll bet you a

THIS IS MY 44TH BIRTHDAY" Charlea H. Sherrllt Charles H. Sherrill, United Statea minister to the Argentine Reublic, was born in Washington, D. C, April 13, 1367. - After graduating from the Tale Law School In 1892 he began the practice of law in New York city, where he soon established a reputation as an able corporation lawyer. In his college days Mr. Sherrill was much inter
ested in athletic sports and for several years he was the holder of the Inter
collegiate championship for ' 100-yards. He was also the originator of the idea ot international lnter-university ath
letic meetings,- having arranged the
Yale-Oxford match In London in 1894, and the Yale-Cambridge match In New York city the following year. Soon af

MADE ONE GOOD POINT. '
Dudley Walker, in his talk before the Commercial club of Indiana Har
bor and East . Chicago seeking to interest that organization In backing a
project for the Twin Cities to exhibit in the impending real estate show,
made one very good point,, which should not be ignored by tho Calumet
region. x - - . ' "X
This was relating to, the matter of getting before the , money lenders
the fact that mortgages in the Calumet region are gilt-edged.
Tha the real estate show would furnish the means to that end was pointed out. This would serve a many angled purpose. In the first place
it would be the means of reducing the interest on mortgages, which Is now
7 per cent. It would direct the attention of moneyed men to the region, thereby causing them to back financially enterprises which would never occur to them to consider, without the necessary advertising of the right
kind.
J The bankers of the entire region should get together on this propo
sition and endeavor to make use of the real estate show as a means of presenting facts regarding the Calumet region to the financiers which would loosen the tension in the matter of raising money on mortgages. This
accomplished, it would mean far more rapid progress in the industrial cities
than is now possible.
Men who wish to engage in the building of houses and stores here
abouts, are handicapped by having so narrow a field from which to summon
financial aid. . Were this widened, the problem of building homes to house the rapidly growing working population, would to a considerable extent be
solved. -
THE ice man is one ot the chaps
who Is getting ready to come -back

IF there was any style in voting the
women would all get up together and demand the ballot.
NOW will the democratic congress
finish as nicely as it started? All pre

r INSPECT THE WORK.
Present conditions of some of the Gary streets both in the first sub
division and other parts of the city after a few years of wear and tear
ought to keep the taxpayers of Gary on the alert.
For instance this month construction work has been started and more
will be started on several. new streets and sidewalks. In these days assess
ments are high enough. A wise property owner .will do a little inspect
Ing on his own hook for he pays the bills. '
There are a lot of little ways of cheating in the brick, skimping in the
concrete and substituting In materials. It has been done before in Gary, The very condition of some streets attests to this. An 'ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

went to the sanatorium for treatment.

A SAFE BET. - . Federal census figures now class Gary among Indiana's twenty leading cities, the steel community being seventeenth on the list and accredited with a population of 16,802 (April 1, 1310). Five years ago this time there was no Gary. Consequently when the previous census report was made in 1900 then Gary was undreamt of. , With exaggerating the case any it will be a safe bet that of the twenty
leading cities in Indiana in 1920, the now seventeenth one will be one of
the top notchers on the list. -
