If THE TIMES had chartered a train and taken all of its advertisers to Crown Point to hear the arguments before Judge Van Fleet for a change
of venue from the county it would have been a masterful stroke.
THE TIMES was placed in the unique position of having the best legal talent in the county, voluntarily turn advertising agents for THE TIMES
newspapers.
Had the advertisers of THE TIMES been present in court at Crown
Point they would have heard A. F. Knotts, who cannot be accused by being
friendly to this newspaper, tell how the enormous circulation of THE
TIMES reaches every city, village and hamlet in Lake county.
They would have heard him affirm that the paper has such a hold on
its readers and such widespread influence that its attitude of hostility
towards Mayor Knotts would be reflected in the whole county.
In fact, the advertiser would have learned that THE TIMES goes to every nook and corner in the county and that five times as many people
read it as take it.
THE TIMES has long felt that it ought to impress its advertisers with
an appreciation of Its full worth as an advertising medium, but modesty
forbade. It is a strange coincidence that the wonderful circulation and In
fluence of THE TIMES should be extolled by its enemies. Even those of its
competitors in the newspaper field, which printed full and fair reports of the proceedings at Crown Point, told their readers that THE TIMES, In
point of influence and circulation, is the greatest newspaper in Northern
Indiana.

The Kind of Education That Counts Is the Kind That Can Be Usad.
Education should be always toward some PRACTICAL END, and never regarded as an end In and of
Itself; for UNUSED scholarship makes a man of as little service to the world
as though he had no scholarship at all.
One must learn so to apply his knowledge that It will contribute to the
GENERAL WELFARE.
An educational hermit Is a disgusting person, one who takes tribute of
the learning of the world for the enrichment of his own mind, and makes no return.
His knowledge Is not power, for there Is no fire beneath It and no ma
chinery for it to set In motion.
It does not move a wheel or lay a brick; it does not earn a loaf of bread;
It moves no inquiring mind to higher endeavor It can not help to make the
world better because ft says nothing to the world; if the hospitals are full of the sick, it can not cure them, for it nsver tries; If the people are out of work It cannot help them, for It does not knw how; if a neighbor is in the gutter, it cannot lit him out, because it does not wish to do so.
The average man and woman of to3ay who is concerned with the earning
of dally bread and can not take time to secure a liberal schooling, must be es
pecially careful that the education he DOES get, is ef THE SORT THAT
COUNTS.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CA-MOROIN K
PRESIDENT TAFT AT HUTCHINSON Hutchinson, Kan., Sept. 26. All Hutchinson lent itself today to the reception of President Taft, who arrived in the city this morning for a visit of more than twenty-four hours. In honor of the occasion there was a general closing of all business houses and
A ma whom I know has recently i obtained a position as an "efficiency engineer." Do you know what that means? It means that his duties are to carefully and scientifically s.tudy the whole workings of the various plants in which he Is employed and tejl their owners in Just what ways they'gre losing efficiency. He' will tell one man that he ought to abolish roll top desks because his clerks are wasting time behind them. He will telt another that his machinery could be arranged so as to save his men's time. He will suggest to another that he might ave money by utilizing some by-product which he is allowing to go to waste. When the efficiency eglneer't recommendations are followed the Arm which employs nlm often eavas many thousand dollars a year.
Now how many thundreds of thou
sands, now hundreds of millions of volts of human energy-or whatever other unit you care to measure energy by would be saved if every man and woman would be his or her own "efficiency engineer:" Do you see what I mean? Each of us possesses a certain given amount of energy. Some have mora than others, but all have a goodly share. Our minds and bodies are the plant In which we use this energy. Our pleasure in life, our characters and our achievements are tha products we manufacture.
Now if each one of us were his own
efflciecy engineer he would overhald that plant about once in so often and in how many ways he was falling
to get full results from that energy, in how many ways he could increase his efficiency. One girl would say "I am wearing high heeled shoes which tire me needlessly and take that much away from my pleasure in life and my ability to achieve." Another girl would say "J am wearing insufficient clothing in winter. Consequently I have to use my vitality to keep warm and cannot have it for other purposes." A business man would say ,-I am not taking enough exercise. I ride whenever I can whereas I Ought to walk. The result is that my brain does not do as good work as It could." A house mother woult sa "I do not get outdoors enough and th lack of fresh air and change of scene makes me cross and nervous and In
capable of enjoying my family ttnd my work as I ought." An apprehensive and nervous person would say "I waste half my energy In worrying. I will remember that there are two kinds of things not to worry about those you can help and those you can't, and I will utilize that energy In trying to help those that can be helped." And now If by any chance you should decide that your riant needed overhauling and should engage yourself as your efficiency engineer, I wonder what you would say? ' RUTH CAMERON.

BEWARE OF THIS NEW EPIDEMIC.
Two cases of infantile paralysis have been reported from East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, a third from Crown Point and other cases bearing an alarming resemblance to this moat dreaded of children's diseses, have been
rumored in various sections Of the Calumet region. While there is a say
ing that it takes more than one swallow to make the spring, it does not
necessarily follow that it takes more than two cases of a malignant and
lnfectuous disease to make an epidemic. The Calumet region has been eo scourged by epidmics, typhoid, scarlet fever and diphtheria, that it is to be
hoped the health departments of the various cities in Lake county will ex
ercise their utmost authority in quelling a disease that seems to have taken
root in this region. It's seriousness Is not to be compared with that of dis
eases with which medical science has grown familiar, the main danger in infantile paralysis appearing to lie in the fact that physicians know so
little of its causes and are so ignorant of methods to combat it

SHUT OFF THE MENTAL STEAM.
Do you take your business worries or your work home with you at
night, to the annoyance of the family?
Do you ever bank the fires that keep the machinery in your body and
brain going?
"It is a great thing to learn to shut off the mental steam when you quit
work. What would you think of a factory manger," asks a contemporary,
" "who would leave all of his power turned on after the operators had left the factory, the delicate machinery running everywhere, pounding itself to pieces, grinding out its delicate bearings without producing anything? Many of us do not turn off our mental power after we are through producing or creating for the day. We carry our business home, take it to bed with us.
think, plan, worry and waste precious energy in alt sorts of ways, in super
fluous thinking, foolish worrying that produces nothing, but grinds out the exquisite mental machinery and unfits it for the next day's work. It is a
great art to learn to shut off power when through with our day's work so
that we can oil our mental machinery, refresh our minds, and recuperate
ourselves, so that we can go to the next day's work completely reinvigor
ated. Many men seem to think that they are accomplishing something if they keep their minds on business even when not at work, but they really accomplish less than nothing, because they are wasting precious mental
energy, the power for concentration, the vigor, the focusing of the mind,
which is imperative for creating purposes." 4 1 A STRANGE CONCATENATION.
