BEAUTIFUL WEATHER WE ARE HAVING. It is admitted that the fund of information at the command of a certain Gary editor is nothing short of encyclopedic In its comprehensiveness, but when that editor agitates the cuticle on his bulging brow with his index finger and says that $650 a front foot is a ridiculous price for Hohman street frontage in Hammond, he gives about 30,000 people there a distinctly localized pain. This statement on the part of the Gary man is convincing, not because it is based on an intelligent comparison of values of Hammond business property, not because of any inside information that the Gary many has on the subject, but because of the "look 'whom I am" assumption of its author. It Is not 'what a man KNOWS that counts. It Is what he can make
the people THINK HE KNOWS that enables the consummate egotist to get
away with a remark like that.
If the Gary paper says that Hohman street frontage is not worth $650
a front foot it must be so, but might we not timidly remark that the Ham
mond school board sold 225 feet of frontage across the street from this
property for $650 a front foot a year ago, that the Hammond estate paid $730 a front foot for property on the same street six months ago, that Otto Knoerzer paid $18,000 for thirty feet in a much less desirable location a year ago, and that whole blocks of Hohman street frontage are assessed at
$1,000 afron foot and that many frontage-owners would not sell at $1,000
a front foot? Pardon us if a yawn escapes us.
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
As the fall approaches the evenings will begin to get colder. There will be la lesser tendency to stay outdoors and the autumn evenings always make one's home seem all the more attractive. It is in the fall that the
human being is more of a homestayer than at any other time in the year. In this connection we might suggest that a good place to spend two or three nights every wek in the autumn is in the public library. - Most of Lake county's population is housed near a library. No greater profit or
pleasure can be- found than an hour or two with books.
You can roam through the streets of London and laugh and cry with
Dickens; Victor Hugo's books will take you into the homes of the poverty
stricken, you can study every phase of human emotion with Shakespeare
Gibbon, Prescott and Macauley will lift the curtain of history and current
novels will reveal the drama of every-day life. If jou like romance Scott's Waverly works are enough to keep you busy all winter. They bring the hills and valleys of Scotland to your door. For the beautiful you can have
the best of John Ruskin, Browning, Tennyson, and a score of others. .If
'you want to unteach foolishness search out Montaigne and for historical
blogarphies every library has Carlyle, Symonds, Hume, Motely, Lecky, Plut
rch, Mommsen and Froude.
Hundreds of other good books are to be had. If the reader will ask
the librarian the latter will be glad to map out a course of systematic read
ing that will enable the student to get the cream the world s literature. The
next time you go to your library ask about the study plan.

FREE LOVE DOCTRIN ARIES. In hauling over the coals the Sinclairs, the Sees, and people of th
free-love type, such as Jack London, Medill Patterson, et al., the Fort Wayne
News truthfully says:
"The outrageous plan of life advanced by Mrs. Sinclair may shock and
scandalize sane men and women,, but It should be borne in mind hat it I
natural and logical fruitage of the preachings and teachings of the goo
goo-eyed high priests of socialism the Ferdinand Pinney Earles, the Jack Londons, the Medill Pattersons, the William English Wallings, and the Evelyn Sees" Ignoring the sad experience of the speaking cnturies they
sneer at those conventions which are rooted deep in great moral necessities, and they appeal to the animal in man and in woman by specious and illogical assaults on those instrution around which our society and our civilization have crystalized. Excusing their own moral obliquity" and seeking the gratification of their sensuous yearnings, they advance the lustful and licentious doctrine that men and women may love where they please."
VERY TRUE! Have you ever noticed it? -Nothing ever more true was printed in a newspaper than the statement by an exchange that "how quickly can you tell a live town from a dead one, by simply looking over Its newspapers. A poor skim milk sort of a paper with a few small advertisements' and ' those looking as though they were run at half price, sloppy looking columns and sloppy typography, betokens a dead town Just as sure as a corpse indicates a funeral, while -a good, lively, well-printed newspaper, filled with good, fresh ads, and displayed news storif-s, show that the town is prospering and thriving. It never falls." ' ' Havs you ever noticed It?

UNCLE SAM'S READY FOR Af.
THIS IS MY 81ST BIRHDAY. Frederic Miatral. Frederic Mistral, the famous French
author and poet, was born in the little village of Malllane, in the heart of
Provence. Sept, 8, 1830. His education was received in a boarding school at
Avignon, which was a few miles dis
tant from his home. After leaving school he studied law at Alx. but soon he abandoned law for literature. Though Mistral's poems have won wide popularity for the charm of their ro
mance, his chief work, and the one that brought him the important prize
of the Institute of France, is his Pro-
vencal-FYeneh dictionary, in th preparation of which he spent ten years.
The poet is a leader in the movement to
preserve local language, literature" and traditions. He believes that the hietor. lc sections of France. Spain, Italy, Flanders, Hungary and all countries where localities had been strong enough to create a language, deserve
attention for the revival of these. Year
by year the importance of Mistral's work has come to be more generally recognised, and in his old age many
honors have been bestowed upon him.

NEWS ITEM The Tenth United States infantry has received rush orders to go to the Pananul protect the canal in a revolution which it is feared is brewing in that little republic
The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
An old aunt of ours paid us a visit
last week, and during her stay told
me the following little story about my grandfather which I venture to think worth repeating.
Grandfather's oldest son was in his
early youth a ship's carpenter.
His first long voyage was to Cal
cutta. He was gone several months, and when it came time for him to re
turn, grandmother, of course, began to make all sorts of preparations. Days
before the ship was due she began to
plan how they would all go down to the wharf to meet John, and what
they would have for dinner, and all the
dear delicious details of his homecom-
infl.
During this planning grandfather
was strangely unenthusiastie. "I wouldn't plan too much, mother," he would urge. , "Suppose the ship is late.
or something."
Grandmother thought all this very
strange, for grandfather wasn't
usually a wet blanket; but she laid It to an unsuspected streak of superstition, and let it go at that. When the ship was actually sighted the harbor, grandfather acted even
more strangely than before. He didn't
want grandmother to lay out the "boiled shirt" she had ready for John, and he wouldn't evn let her go to the wharf with him. So he went alone to meet John. And by and by he came back in a carriage with John with his leg in a plaster cast and his young face all pale and wan and thin, and then, of course, the whole story came out.
It seemed that some months before, grandfather had gotten word from a vessel which came direct from Calcutta, instead of by a roundabout route, as John's ship did, that John's ship was about to sail with all on board except the ship's carpenter, who had some kind of an accident and had to be left behind. And John was the ship's carpenter. As a matter of fact, the report had been correct about the accident, but not about John's being left behind. He had risen out of bed In the hospital the day the ship sailed and insisted on being taken home. And all these months grandfather had been bearing that anxiety alone. All the family asked him why he didn't tell them, and he Just said, "What good would it' have done? I would have told you if ybu could have helped, but you couldn't. It would have made you worry." Do you know that story is as inspiring to me as a story of real physical heroism. I felt a new respect for and pride in my grandfather when I heard it. And more than that, a new shame for my own weakness in sharing anxieties. That Is why I have repeated this bit of family history to you. x "What good Would it have done?' said grandfather, simply. What, good does it do for any of us to darken someone else's heart with the anxiety that is overshadowing our own? RUTH CAMERON.

"Heart massage.' a last resort of surgeons, was used in the city hospital, at Evansville, to keep Roscoe Irvin, alive after he had beevi slashed across the abdomen.
