THE STORY OF LAKO AND STANKO.

An interesting bit of life was revealed in East Chicago yesterday when J

Lako Bolokovich, Rod a Miloshevich and SUnko Bojocich (be sure and get these names right) were hailed into court for Implication in a prospective duel. Lako recently lost his Job in a lodge and accused Roda of being the cause of his loss of Servian easte Lako sent Stanko his son to Roda with a challenge to mortal combat, and in order that there might be no mistaking his intentions, enclosed with the gauge two bullets. Roda has been in this country long enough to lose all his romance and chivalry. No duello for Roda. Instead he hied himself to the police station with the gory missive and turned it over to a callous desk sergeant smoking a cob-pipe. That worthy scion put Lako and Stanko in the bastillo and there they languish under $500 bonds, awaiting trial on a very serious charge. Ah, how sordid is life become! Here was a fat chance to meet on the field of honor with pistols at twenty yards and it ends in the police station! Those were the good old days. .

WHAT MAKES There are three factors which enter the consumer. They are: . FirsJiost of production. Second Cost of freight to market. Third Cost of selling them to the

The cost of farm products in the cities of the Calumet region has always been 20 to 25 per cent higher than in the towns In the central and south

ern parts of the county. This Is explained by the fact that

of Lake county is located In the unproductive sand belt which follows the

shores of Lake Michigan. The truck farming district is four East Chicago, eight miles from Indiana It must be apparent then that the cost

nearest farms to the larger markets of the county is considerable. In most cities the truck farmers occupy the outlaying acres from where they find the city market fairly accessible. But the outlaying acres in the Calumet

region are infertile and non-productive the extra cost of freighting his truck by The remedy plainly lies In the tween the cities and the country on be shipped for, a small charge from greatest consumption. Under present , conditions when farmer for his work of raising crops eggs, etc., and has paid the freight, price, he is then compelled to pay the fee for praceling it out to himself and The city market wipes out the the pockets of the ultimate consumer. reason that it eliminates the cost of of living is equivalent to an increase

So the problem of getting cheap food is a double headed one. It involves the solution of the problem of cheap freighting of produce to mar

ket and at the same time a solution middle man by the institution of a city If potatoes were 11 cents a peck 45 to 75 cents a peck, there must be WAR ON

In speaking of the fact that Hammond is the first city in Indiana to!

start an active campaign against auto says:

"A rart of those arrested belonged , to those who think they have a divine right to everything. The latter variety, of course, require the most

attention because they endeavor to markable presences and frequently stuff for the perpetration of which fined.

"This auto speeding chapter is not the only instance In history where the good are made to share responsibility for the shortcoming of the bad,

but until an example is made of some

latter should not be difficult to discover, for they brazenly flaunt open de

Miss Alice doss, of Bloomington. age nineteen, was struck by a Monon freight caboos yesterday and knocked down. Two cars passed over her. but owing to her presence of mind she lives to tell about It.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON

Now that t$ie time for outdoor life has come aroutid again I want to pass on a warning which came to me last summer too late to use. "Please tell your girls," urges my correspondent, "what an awful time one reader had with her eyes because she read a few hours on the water. The eyes were terribly swollen and I lay it wholly to that." One cannot be too careful of the strain upon the eyes which the strong light from waters produces. I myself know of a girl who, some years ago, when the mania for getting tanned and burned was at Its height, ay fiat on her back on the deck of a sailboat In the blazing sun for several hours to "get a good burn." She got the burn, but alas, not only on her face but also In her eyes. They were so badly bloodshot that she was a sight for days. Moreover, they were permanently weakened and so predisposed to burn that she cannot go out on the water at all without making them bloodshot. Remember the next few months what delicate, complicated and altogether wonderful afTairs those eyes of yours are. Be careful to shade them well and be especially careful not to use them in too bright a light. That is quite as much a straing as the Insufficient light. "May I sit here?" What a pleasant, gracious little touch the use of that phrase Is. Yqu are in a railway compartment and have half of a double seat. shepherd dog returned to the house and by its strange actions succeded In leading Mr. Terril to the creek bed where his eon lay unconscious and bleeding from his injuries. Had it not been for the faithful dog the boy would have probably died before aid reached him. BRYAN CALLS WORLD BETTER. W. J. Bryan erav his lecture- on "The Needs of the Hour" before 5,000 people at Winona Lake the other afternoon. He said that he would not run again for President and humorously explained that the last two Presidents have taken many of his platform planks and applied them, proving that It is easy for him to get some other man to take his place In the White House. He urged the direct election of United States senators and insisted that the whole world Is undergoing a revolution for the better. PLEADS RIGHT TO SWEAR. David Roach, arraigned In the Fort Wayne city court on a charge of profanity, pleaded the inalienable right of every free-born American citizen to swear when he struck his thumb in

Of course, It is only a formality. Of course, you couldn't answer any other way than In the affirmative. Of courses. It's unnecessary. But don't you think It's pleasant? I do. It seems to me Just one of those gracious little habits that are the hallmark of the true lady not necessary, but very nice. A man whom I know who Is very anxious to breed habits of saving In his children, has adopted this method. Perhaps it will appeal to other fathers. As each child begins to earn his own bread and butter the father takes out for him a twenty-year endowment policy for $1,000. This, he tells his son or daughter, he will pay for three years. At the end of that time he Is going to turn the policy over to Ita owner, who can either redeem It for three-twentieths of its face value or keep on paying It. He has six children. Four of them have received their policies and not one has Chosen to take the money out. Two have the policies already paid up and ready for a rainy day, and not only that, but have kept on saving on their own accounts. Doesn't that sound like a pretty good method?

He said he had used profanity under no other provocation, but neighbors, told a different story, alleging that the air In the vicinity of the Roach home had been of a bluish tinge the greater part of the time by reason of Roach's expletives. Judge Mungovan told Roach he did not believe his testimony, but In view of the fact that the man has a Job and a family to support, the court continued the case Indefinitely. FOR MAKING BAD NICKELS. Two young men giving their names as Claude Sanders and Harry Miller of Marlon were arrested yesterday at Fairmount by constable William H. Eastes on the charge of oounterfeitThe constable found In the pockets of the two men counterfeit nickels representing tho sum of 816. The two men rented a room In Fairmount a week ago and worked secretly, but were suspected of wrong doing by their landlady and were forced to move.

By EDWIN A. WYE. WHAT IS TRAIL LOVE? Love, which ls the greatest thing In the world, often has been Biaadered try the proverb makers. For lastanc -Love Is Wind." Love la not tHnd. It U acot and open eyed. More than that, tt has Insight. It sees below lb aurtacc It sees the real, the unseen. Where other eyes see deformity or weakness love sees strength and beauty. It does not Judge by appearance. Whereof some of us should be glad, because, having neither comeliness nor grace, keen eyed love finds both. It sees that which Is worth loving. Another mistaken saying: True love is first love." It may be. Often It is not Usually first love is a sort of a mushroom growing sentiment It Is not inaptly termed "puppy" love. Ordinarily It does not last long. True Jove is tan outgushing fountain that freely gives. It will last as long as It is appreciated. It is more than a mere' sentiment It is mature affection. Another: "True love never did ran smooth." But it does usually. Why not? Trua love is harmony. It concerns two Persons. Where there is adaptation t e is accord. If there be outside into ence it will not last and cannot ' . . A real proverb is that which ,s, "Love laughs at locksmiths." It Is the false love that does not run smoothly. It cannot by the very nature of things. The rough ways of true love are mostly the invention of the romancers. And still another: True love cannot die." It can. It does die dally. It may be wounded so that it bleeds at every pore. And it may be murdered outright Mostly it ls killed by neglect or indifference or lack of response or inattention. Fou can easily starve It to death. Like life itself, love grows and thrives by what It feeds on. And. on the contrary, you may feed and pamper false love to surfeit and it will surely die. The seeds of death are in it I submit that true love is bo precious ft thing it should , not depend upon proverbs, even though the proverbs have never been challenged. True love! Without It earth would not be. Without it there could be no heaven. worth, and were found there yesterday. The dies the men are suspected of using have not been found. The federal authorities have been notified to take charge of the men. THE DAY IN CONGRESS SENATE. Senator Lippitt spoke against the cotton revision bill.
