BARE TOOTSIES AROUSE EDITOR. Editor John Carr of the Fowler Republican, who will never see sixty
again, is in dire trouble. He has started a crusade to have the ladies in his
bailiwick go barefooted and it has reached the sensational stage. Editor Carr
attended the Fountain county assembly the other day and in his last issue
says: , "Of the large number of ladies In Fountain Park Saturday in the rain, there was but one mother of Zion who preferred a be-draggled skirt to lifting her dresses above the top of her shoesi. That so many kept their clothing above the wet grass is worthy of commendation. Hail the day when all go barefooted on such a day. There is nothing better for tbe nerves than to walk in the warm wet grass. If events
; move as they have it will come about within the next half a century
But alas, if bare tcctsies are good for the nerves in Editor Carr's estimation, they are not good for the nerves of Editor Babcock of the J asp.? County Democrat, who is horrified to think that his brother editor wc'ild advocate such a cussed practice as barefootedness among the ladies. This is what Editor Pabcoek says: "Can we infer that Editor Carr went to Fountain Park in the rain for the purpose of seeing how high the 'Mothers of Zion' would hold their skirts? Perish the thought. Yet he "ays many kept their clothing, above the wet grass but he doesn't p.y how high the grass was. Oh, Horrors! And at Fountain Park, too. He ought to know, though. He was there." A.i

RAPID INTERURBAN DEVELOPMENT. Interurban development east of Gary and the efforts of Porter county to reach the steel city and points to the west is going on probably on -a much larger scale than most Lake county people imagine. You can now go from LaPorte to Goodrum on the New York-Chicago Air Line and stage coach connections bring the traveler, to Chesterton. Trolley cars now proceed out of Valparaiso to a point some four miles to
the north. In a few weeks the entire distance between Valparaiso and
Chesterton will be spanned by the trolley and as tioodrum is a sort ot a
half way point both cities will be placed in direct touch with LaPorte.
From Goodrum westward a line is to be built to Last oary. More than a hundred men are now building the Gary Connecting railway from Gary
to East Gary. So. with the completion of the breaks between Gary and
Goodrum. Goodrum and Chesterton, Goodrum and Flint Lake north of
Valparaiso, the Lake county cities of Gary and Hammond will be well
linked with Porter and LaPorte county centers.
We might further add that the route between East Gary and Hobart has
been staked out. The Gary board of public works has granted to the Gary
Hobart traction line entrance rights into the city and the same company ex
pects to have a route to .Valparaiso. In Lake county we already have the
Gary & Interurban connecting Hammond and Gary. The interstate South
Shore line crosses Hammond, East Chicago, Gary and northern Porter and LaPorte counties proceeding orr' eastward to South Bend. With the completion of the lines well under way Lake" county will be a big link in Indiana interurban system. We are now connected with South Pend from where cars radiate to various points in the state and into Michigan. LaPorte and Michigan City are connected and the latter place is getting to be quite a trolley center. Before six months have elapsed the traction map of Indiana will have undergone important changes. How far distant is the day when the trail of the trolley leads south out of Gary and Hammond to points in the direction of Lafayette?

force. It is time to kennel. "
