FAITH MEASURED BY MILLIONS. When the United Gas & Improvement company of Philadelphia took over the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric company, an amalgamation of gas and electric plants In halt a dozen cities in this part of the state, It knew it was purchasing the property solely for the future It has. Not one of the plants in this amalgamated company was able to pay dividends and at the same time keep abreast of the tremendously rapid development of the region. If the company paid dividends it could not expand. If it did not keep abreast of the growth of the region it could not survive. When that wonderful promoter, C. H. Gelst, took hold of the plant it was a by-word full of Junk. He put into play his splendid abilities as an organizer and raised enough money to make such extensions and improvements as were absolutely necessary. But Mr. Geist was handicapped by the fact that he had to Bhow results. It was all right to point out to prospective Investors that If money could be raised to take care of the growing needs of the community, some time in the future Northern Indiana Gas & Electric stock Would be valuable, but the stockholders wanted to see real evidences of prosperity In dividends. They did not realize that all of the profits of the company for years would be absorbed in extending gas mains, wire lines, rehabilitating old plants and building new ones. Then tbeJUnlted Gas & Improvement company cf Philadelphia took over a controlling interest in the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric company. The "U. G. I." as It is known in Philadelphia, is one of the largest corporations in the "United States. It operates, and in many instances, owns scores of gas plants over the country. The officials of this company know that in acquiring new properties they are pretty sure to get hold of plants from which diYdends have been paid out of depreciation. Consequently It is with considerable complacency that they face the expenditure ofenormous sums of money following the s -acquisition of new jiroperties. ' The United Gas & Improvement company, without promise of more
than the ordinary increase in business, has authorized the expenditure of
over $1,500,000 in the Calumet region.
It has made these authorizations not because the present needs of the region demand it, but because it has faith in the future of the region and Is
preparing to take advantage of its growth.
The Northern Indiana Gas & Electric Co., under U. G. I. management, may not pay dividends f of the next ten years. The wise financiers down
at Philadelphia would not be very much perturbed If it did not. But St the end of ten years the cities of Northern Indiana will have the best services
that inoney can buy '
Only because the "U. G. I." is an half-billion dollar concern is it abje
to take the profits out of a paying and fully developed property and put them Into the improvement of these little holdings down in Lake county,
Indiana. Its faith In this region is measured by fl,500,v00.
THIS SHOWS WHY . MEN LEAVE HOME - .i , In Oklahoma City lives J. D. Lankford, who is state bank commission of Oklahoma. Mr. Lankford is also a cburob-going man. Lately; though, he fell into a predicament that was hard to explain to his wife, Mrs. Lankford gees frequently to her husband's office, and upon this occasion was sitting beside him at his desk. litre is what happened: At the town of Bessie, in southwestern Oklahoma, lives a banker named Darling. Mr. Laskford had
PUMPING HEAT, WHY NOT BEER?
All Gary needs now is a central beer station like they plan in the east
to pump beer into homes at water rates.
Old-time Hoosiers will open their eyes if they visit Gary a year from
now-. The common council last night ratified the Dean heating franchise Thi s means that the central district of Gary is to be heated by pipes radi
ating from a central heating station. There will be no more stoves, no more obstreperous furnaces ,and the grate will be a by-gone memory. No blankets or hot water bottles will be needed and there will be no excuse
for wine coming to bed and slapping her cold feet on your spine. All that
the Garylte will have to do is to sign a contract, turn on the heat, turn it
off when he likes, and pay the bill which the heat meter says he owes
loung men wno nave avoiaea matrimony because they didn t likerto get up
at 5 o'clock to tinker with the furnace can now enter into the blissful state
If the Janitor fails lo show up it won't matter. t With heat, light, gas and
water coming from a central station, we can expect more wonders. In Montclair, out in New Jersey, as we have said, they are planning to organize a central beer station which will pump beer into homes at meter rates, when
Gary gets this new feature it will lack nothing.
GREAT THING FOR HOBART.
We now can expect to see street cars running between Gary and Ho-
bart within a year's time and possibly sooner. Last night the Gary com mon council ratified the board of public works' traction grant to J. P. Cav
ender, president or the Gary, Hobart and Eastern Traction company. The llobart town board has already granted the company a franchise, a free
right of way has been secured in the rural district, there is a large sum of money In the' treasury, a bond Issue is to finance the construction and the company is backed by the people of Hobart and vicinity. Starting out under such auspicious circumstances it cannot but be a winner. The new line is going to be a great thing for Hobart and it will be of equal benefit to Gary. Prosperity always follows in the trail of the trolley.
jpj&Si Vo-darling:
put in a telephone call for Mr. Darling at Bessie. Mr. Lankiord and his wife were interrupted in theLr conversation by bis stenographer, who said: "Mr. Lankford. Bessie is calling you over the long distance phone." Mrs. Lankford looked surprised, but said nothing,, knowing that fier husband's business was with many persons, both men and women. Mr. Lankford turned to bis desk phone and began talking. - "Is that you. UarllugT' be asked Mrs. Lankford pricked up Her ears. He west on: WelL I've been waiting to talk to you all day. That little matter ycu wrote to me about In your last letter Is perfectly satisfactory. 1 had been thinking that it might, be well for you to corn's' over and see me; we've got a good town here and 1 am sure I could give you a pleasant time." Yes, it took lots of explaining.

Miss Evelyn Powell of Monitor, 19 years old, who has been visiting at Lafayette, Is a victim of the same disease, dne of her lower limbs being paralyzed.

sbly will be the cause of Orln Abbott of Muncie spending several years In the state penitentiary. Somebody has been robbing farm homes about Muncie on Saturdays while all members of the house-holds are in Muncie doing their trading.

The detectivestanding on a corner, saw Abbot pass, wearing the buttons, and arrested him. Abbott, who Is thirty-two years old and married, then confefo and told of numerous other robberies in which he had participated, the detectives say. CAN'T PROVOKE A LAWYER. That Is is a practically impossibility for a lawyer to be criminally provoked by anybody was the doctrine enunciated from the bench by City Judge Frank Feeley of Muncie, himself an attorney, in giving a decision In the rase Of attorney Wilbur Ryman, who said he had been provoked by A. O. Broad bent. Ryman had acted a sattorhey for Broadbent's wife in the latter's suit to
A pair of peculiar cuff buttons prob- obtain a 'divorce and said that the hus
band, meeting the lawyer on jthe street, called him vile names.
"Lawyers have to learn to stand a great deal," said Judge Feeley.- "Mr. Broadbent may have provoked within the meaning of the law, but the evidence is Hot clear. Anyway lawyers must expect to be mistreated much ot the time without making complaint." DECLARES STRIKE WAS RIGHT. C. Sylvester Home, the first minister ever to be a member of the English Parliament, pastor of Wlckllfte, London, gave his farewell address at Winona Lake yesterday afternoon, and declared against the House of .Lords, explained his own part In politics and said England's reform cannot be bloody, but -will he orderly throughout.
