CONGRATULATIONS, HOBART! The town of Hobart is now the largest town, territorially, in the state

of Indiana. It embraces some 10,000 square miles of land in the Township " of Hobart and includes all of the township except those portions which are

. within the incorporations of Aetna, Miller and New Chicago.

On account of the large expanse of the town of Hobart and the development that has taken place there, it is reasonable to presume that Hobart

will soon become one of the five county. The annexation of the territory . tain last Monday when the time for

county commissioners, approving the . having been taken. ,

THE TIMES extends its hearty congratulations to the town of Hobart at this time and is glad that it was able to be of humble assistance in

bringing about the much-desired consummation.

WHAT'SIX MILLION DOLLARS HAVE DONE.

It it a little over sixteen months since the first announcement was made,

and it was printed in THE TIMES,

tion would build a second subdivision in northwest Gary. At the time the American Bridge company was building its plant on the north bank of the Little Calumet. But to the south of this stream and east of Clark was an almost untracked wilderness of a half dozen square miles that wasn't pierced even by a respectable wagon road. It was a waste of sand dunes,

morasses, scrub oaks and stunted pines.

Today Fifth avenue, paved and eighty feet wide, traversed by the Gary

& Interurban line, paralleling the South Shore interurban a few hundred

feet to the north, links Broadway and Ambridge avenue, the center of the new district, which is three miles away. The visitor to .this part of Gary now finds 288 handsome dwellings on a half dozen paved streets. Every house is either equal or superior to any in the first subdivision of the city. Fifty families from Pennsylvania have already moved into homes and as fast as the rest are completed they will be occupied so that by the New Year this new territory will have a population of 2,000 which exceeds that of Hobart and many Lake county townships. Already there are schools facilities and a church is now being planned. Within a few weeks storerooms will be completed for seven or eight mercantile establishments and there will be offices for professional men. To develop the Ambridge district of Gary, as it is called, the steel corporation has already expended six million dollars for the bridge plant, homes, streets, sewers, sidewalks and other improvements. '

FOR THE BAR ASSOCIATION. Despite the fact that Lake county now has four courts and the wheels things are not tolerated. . . At the best those who make use of these tricks are nothing more than cowardly bluffers in a desperate plight. It is about time for the Lake County Bar association to get busy. It is high time that these sharp practices be stopped. They are tolerated nowhere else save in Lake county. In the forth-coming cases the Elkhart judge, who is to try the Gary cases, comes from a region where these legal tricks, seemingly tolerated, and In any event, not stopped. Witness the attitude towards the special state's attorney in the Gary bribery case. Through the subsidized press he Is daily threatened with arrest and is of justice grind reasonably swift, yet the county is disgraced by the many made against witnesses and more than one, in other cases, has fallen beneath the blows of the slugger hired by prominent official powers. And it is not so long ago since that a judge of a Lake county court was given a warned that he will be Bent to the penitentiary. Similar threats have been veiled threat through a newspaper that if he dared to proceed to do his duty in a certain case that "something would be started."

TWO MORE INDUSTRIES COMING. The latter part of this month or the early days of November will see One is the Gary Bolt and Screw works, the factory buildings of which are nearing completion. This concern will employ 1,000 hands. ,At Buffington, in northwest Gary, the two cement plants now in operation, will be increased to four and a corresponding raise in the output, will be made. So, with these new industries about to turn their wheels for the first time Lake county can have no complaint of the fall industrial outlook.

Cable, the noted writer of Southern stories, was born in New Orleans, Oct. 13, 1844. and received bis education in the public schools of his native city. At the age of fourteen ho was required, by the death of his father, to assist In the support of the family, and he secured employment in a commercial house. Four years later, though but a frail youth, he enlisted in a Confederate cavalry regiment, and served until the close of the war. He then returned to New Orleas and resumed his counting-room employment, remaining in it almost continuously for rourteen years. In the meantime he had written some short stories of Creole life and the success with which they met Induced him in 1879 to give up commercial work and devote himself entirely to literature. Since then numer ous novels and short stories, almost all of them portraying Southern life, have come from hi pen and have aded to the reputation which Mr. Cable established with , his initial literary effort. entitled "Old Creole Days.

If you do you. need not read this talk, because you will not believe what I say, though i am not a crank. Cigarettes are poison. I say this not of myself. It is a chemical fact that the burning of tobacco and paper, together with saliva, distills a subtle poison that In time will undermine and wreck the strongest constitution. You do not believe it? Then It Is because you do not want to believe. The results of cigarette smoking have been as carefully noted as of typhoid fever. The rate of its progress is as well attested, from its inception on through its different stages, as that of any other slow poison. It saps manhood. And, besides its effect upon tie body, which it tends to make inert and limp and Ineffectual, there is Its effect uponthe mind. The cigarette smoker is a paranoiac. That is to say, he is demented in so far as his malady Is concerned. He entertains delusions concerning his habit. The poison muddles the brain. II is to be admitted that some persons are able to withstand the effect of cigarette poison longer than others. And some nations, being more phlegmatic, are less susceptible than others. A Russian, for instance, with his sluggish nature will be poisoned more slowly than the American. Cigarettes ruin American nerves. Our nervous temperaments and our climate forbid the use of artificial stimulants. We are so fashioned that all onr nervous force must be used to drive our bodies and brains. We are so finely tempered that stimulants serve only to excite. Artificial stimulants take the spring and snap out of the American temper. We to to pieces rapidly enough without forcing. And now If you smoke cigarettes I have said nothing that will change your opinion. You either do not believe the deductions of science or you fancy you are Immune. Which is proof of my contention. You are deluded by the habit. line, ran into the barn, and accidentally set fire to rubbish which communicated to a fifty-gallon tank of gasoline. An explosion followed and only prompt work by the fire department prevented a very serious fire. One of the. boys, Charles Bailey, age nine, was painfully burned. FEAR PARALYSIS KPIDEM1C.

The Conservation Congress

Twelfth Article. The need of a more intimate knowledge of farm life among those who are leaders of the social life in the country, was the main point of an address by Prof. G. P. Holden of Iowa State College, Ames, la., at the conservation congress. He also told what has been accomplished by social co-operation among farmers. 'His address follows in part: "No nation can long remain great whose rural people are oppressed, or tor any reason have degenerated. It is not that social life on the farm Is bad in the United States, for It is not, but it can be greatly Improved and In my opinoln it is the greatest question before the nation today. When, history Is written It will jilace foremost among the many good things President Roosevelt did, the inaugurating of the country life movement. "Just how is this work of bettering country life to be worked out? In my opinion It must be done largely by the following agencies now in existence: First, the church and allied organization, such as the Y. M. C. A, Boy Scouts, etc. ; Second, the schools. Third, the grange, farmers' clubs and other organizations of the kind. Fourth the home itself. The president has asked me to put particular emphasis on the grange and farmers' clubs as a factor In the improvement of the social life of the farm. It is. my opinion that one of the most important steps in this great forward movement steps In this great forward movement, especially in the corn belt, is the organization of granges and farmers' clubs In every community. There is need of a tremendous awakening to the importance of organization as a means of agricultural advancement. The effect of these' organizations on the community Is most remarkable. Wen and women in such communities grow up with strong attachments not only for the business of farming and home making, but for the people of the community In which they live. They remain on the farm Instead of moving into town or out of the state. These organizations furnish exactly the social and educational advantages so much needed by the rural communities. They enable young men and women to discover themsejeves and their powers of usefulness to humanity. Michigan has nearly 900 such organizations, most of them granges, with a membership of "0,000. In each of the yesterday. Gulling was arrested for not ahvlng his machine equipped with a "suitable bell, horn, or other signal. His Defense was, in the first place, that the word "suitable" did not. tell what kind of signal should be used, and secondly, that he had given a signal to pedestrians by opening the exhaust pipe. FIGHT WITH BI LL DOG. Adam Duncan, of Lafayette, age seventy-five, was attacked by a bulldog last night at the Wallace Bros, plumbing Hhop, and battled with the dog for half an hour. Mr. Duncan had gone to the shop after closing time, and as he stepped Into the door the dog leaped at him. Mr. Wallace jumped on a shelf and, seizing a piece of Iron pipe, beat off the dog. After a hard fight he push the dog into an adjoining room and shut the door. The dog, which was accidentally locked In the store, was shot. Higher Courts' Record. Supreme Ceart Action. The supreme court yesterday handed down the following rulings and decisions: 21996. Emma C. Spltzer vs. "Bown of North Manchester. Wabaah C. C

The minister of marine has resigned because his orders for movements of the Turkish fleet were not carried out Shefket Pasha, the minister of war, is feared j the soldiery. He was recently recalled from command ' of the Turkish troops in Albania because of his ruelty. He -a now aboard one of Turkey' transports, bound for Tripoli. forty agricultural counties there is an average of twenty-five live, activee organizations. . New York granges have a total membership of 90,000. Quebec has nearly 600 clubs with more than 55,000 members, nl strong contrast to this, the corn belt, peculiarly and above all else agricultural, has only a few hundred such organizations scattered throughout the entire area. President Roosevelt, in his address at the Michigan Agrlctulral College, said Farmers must learn the vital need of co-operation with one another, it is only through such combination that American farmers can develop to the full their economic (and social power. Combination of this kind In Denmtrk, ior instance, has resulted in bringing the people back to the land, and has enabled the Danish peasant to compete. In extraordinary fashion, not only at home but in foreign countries, with all rivals." Few people In the west realize what a tremendous influence the grange and agricultural clubs of the eastern and middle states have exercised on national legislation directly affecting the agricultural and social conditions of farmers. As an illustration, attention is called to the following laws which either had their origin in the granges and clubs or were enacted . largely through their initiative. The department of agriculture was organized, th position of secretary of agriculture in the cabinet was created, the state experiment statlons'established, free rural mail delivery provided for, the Grout pure food bill, the Sherman antitrust regulations, the Interstate commerce act, the denatured alcohol bilt and the postal savings bank bills were enacted into laws. Tou will see how these things have aced drecty to make the social life on the farm better. These associations are now urging the election of United .States senators by popular vote, national aid for establishing agricultural high schools and the Introduction of agricultural and domestic science into the rural schools; the establishment of the parcels post, postal telegraph and telephone service, and national and state aid for highway improvement. While these influences have been great beyond calculation, yet by far the greatest effect has been In the betterment of the social and Intellectual conditions In the home and Jn the community."
