THE EXAMPLES OF THALES
Thales, so we read many years ago,
once rapped ancients or. Ms timo about the great pains to vrhich they
put themselves to pet rich. Some
body in the crowd re-called the oil
table about the fox and sour grapes
Thereupon to show that he was not finding fault with what people
thought he could not obtain old
Thales at once made a muster of all
his witH, engaged in business, and set such a traffic on foot that In a year's time he had greater riches than those who had been experienced
in trade all of their lives.
Of late a lot of patriots have been taunting the Hon. . Tom Knotts of Gary about his not caring for the
governorship as he did two years ago,
What if the Hon. Tom, like Thales of old, heeded to the ballot responses in THE TIMES and set out to fool them? But the chances are that this will go into the department catalogued, "Things that might happen but won't."
There are .. three .newspapers in
Gary and for a couple of days each
of those three newspapers printed free
notices that the biting of a score of
dogs by a terrier that was suffering
from rabies demanded that the state
law, which . gives the health board
power to kill all unmuzzled dogs,
would be enforced. ' '
We are not addicted to betting but
we'll venture to guess that not one of those one hundred and sixty-nine
dog owners, and very few of them were foreigners either, take their home newspapers. Those that read, obeyed the law. The newspapers in
formed them that their dogs wuld have to be muzzled and they were.
we need today Is men with convictions. Yes and we'll need 'em tomorrow too!
HOBBLE. Yes this is leap year but we are free to admit that we don't see how you can leap in a hobble skirt.
THE ADVANCE OF SCIENCE.
We used to think that the smartest man ever born was the Connecticut Yankee who grafted white birch on red maples and grew barber poles. Now we rank that gentleman second.
First place goes to an experimenter
attached to the Berlin War Office,
who has crossed carrier pigeons with parrotts, so that Wilhelmstrasse can now get verbal messages through the
enemy's lines. LIpplncotts.
WE learn from the Boston Advertiser that there are in Germany 16,641
kreditgenossenschaften, of which 14;
596 are darlehnskassenvereine. We don't suppose the people of this region
care a whoop about it, but we want to keep the linotypes as busy as pos
sible-.

00R LUCE. Russell Klepser and Miss Luc 11 o Bailey were very fortunate in escaping? serious Injuries Tuesday evening of last week. They were returnlrg: home from a surprise party given at Miss Hoover's when in some unaccountable way Mr. Klepser dropped his lines and they fell under the horse's hoofs. Huntington Ind.) Herald. Now let's all get together and try
to figure out just what Russ was do
ing when he dropped the lines.

STUDY OF ILLUMINATION. A Btudy of improved street lighting
in 22 cities will be of Interest to the people of Hammond and East Chicago who are now trying to solve the question of the installation of an up-to-date system of street illumination.
In eleven of these cities the prop
erty owners paid for the installation,
in four cases the company paid for
the installation and in Tour cases the
posts were installed by the city, it will be noticed that in a majority of
the cases the property owners paid for
the posts.
When it comes to paying for the
electric current it is a different mat
ter. In twenty cases the city paid for the current and In the other two
cases the current was paid for by the
property owners.
In only two cities, Savannah, Ga
and San Diego, Cal. do the property
owners pay for both the installation
and the current. On the other hand
in Ottawa, Ontario, Richmond, Va.
and Rochelle, 111. the city installed
the posts an dthen furnlshen the cur
rent from the municipal lighting
plant. In Virginia, Minnesota the
city furnished both the posts and the
current and paid for the installation.
For people who must have a per
cedent for everything they do th3
above facts will be interesting. Ad
ditional facts too numerous to be re
printed in this article have been
compiled regarding street lighting by
the improved method.
The city of Hammond- is ready to
take up the question of the perma
nent installation of an improved
lighting system for the business dis
trict and it seems that this question is one that should be taken up
simultaneously all over the city.
For instance it would be a mistake if the East State Street Business Men's Association decided on one kind
of a lamp post while the South Hoh
man street business men decided on
another. A public meeting should b called at which the matter should be taken up and some type o fa post agreed upon for use In all sections of
the city.
SEE that the business man's lunch
today consists of beans, ham sand
wiches, pie and coffee, as against
green turtle, sweetbreads, duck and
strawberries ten years ago says an ex change.
The man that can afford pie with
his lunch must be a rich man.

stands in the world by her efforts to
get a seat in a street car.

SOME newspapers figure that Gov.
Wilson has grown stronger Bince the
Harrery incident. They will have to
pad the figures before making the
ordinary man believe It however.
IOWA'S champion bread maker is
going to Washrington to bake a loaf of bread for Pres. Taft. She ought to stop off at Indianapolis and cook up
a batch of biscuits for E. M. Lee.
U. S. MIDSHIPMEN are forbidden
to eat more than one pound of candy. Wonder if there Is any limit on

YES the state board of accountants

A WHISKEY bottle that had drift

are we to infer from this anyway?
WE propose to have an explanation
of a farm paper's article on "The Loafing Hen." Didn't know any of
the hens were laying around.
STORY comes from aKnsas about a wolf being stabbed to death with an
icicle. It seems the war correspond ents are hard up every where.
THEY are still talking about the mean temperature for January as compared with other years. Meanest we ever saw Indeed it is.
SEEMS as If Schumann-Helnk is really a great enough singer to have done without the advertising necessary to get a divorce.
IT IS enough to make one pessimistic the way business is. Here is Nelson Morris this year only cutting a 34 per cent dividend.
"THOSE" CASES.
In the meantime how about the rest of those bribery trials anyway? We love our laws but oh you delays eh?
ONE REASON FOR IT. A lot of good people in Gary are weeping because theirviogs have been shot by the police. One hundred and sixty-nine dogs were sent to the happy hunting grounds by the officer.
THE man walking home said very tersely, "A man never realizes howmany friends he hasn't until he needs a few."

MATBE tt is the menus that they

sponsible for the high cost of living. NO doubt Tom Knotts. figures that if he became, governor It wouldn't take him long to solve the perplexing question why South Bend can have prize fights and Gary can't. THERE is tome talk of having noted men address banquets in distant cities by means f the long-distance 'phone, each listener to have a separate receiver near his soup plate. Happy will be the day when banqueters at Whiting, Stiegllta Park and Hessville can simultaneously listen to an oration by Alderman Castleman. THIS is the open season for tapping the maple sirup trees. THE RISE OF HAMMOND. (From THE TIMES.) "It has taken the city of Hammond thirty years to develop a leisure class. Twenty-five years ago the annual masque ball and the butcher's picnic were the principal social events of the year. Now a soiree is hardly noticed unless it is a formal affair. How things have changed. IN Gary they hardly notice , formal soirees unless the gowns are little extra "decolleted". at either end. OCR OWN BAEDEKER'S GUIDE, THE TOWN OF AETNA -Although Lake county's most potential noisy town this dynamite-making village has managed to struggle along for thirty yekrs with less trouble than a street in Gary. Now and then the mills go on a rampage, but the company is considerate and pays for all broken dishes and furniture, within a radius of ten miles. The inhabitants of the town keep nothing breakable about, and, therefore, guests are somewhat surprised because they have to eat oft tin plates and drink out of silver cups. No. pictures are hung on the walls as one never knows when the patriot mother-in-law, or of Aunt Sue is liable to crash down and swat you on the dome of thought. The, town is strictly tem
perate as the dynamite workers are too economical too even import a case of
Bud for fear that unlooked-for explo
sion would break the bottles. Aetna
Is also notd for its dog kennels, and
It is not safe to pass through the roads
near the town unless you bring a piece of summer sausage to give to the hounds. One time there was a charity ball at Aetna given by the, Moonlight club and several out-of-town guests who neglected to bring bits of meat with them did no dancing and went home limping, the result of bad bites in the calves of their legs. Othererwlse, there are no wlldt animals in the town. One railroad, the famous Wabash, passes through Aetna and once, so It is said, two engines, hauling several car loads of dynamite, collided. The collision was so slow and gentle that neither engineer woke up until three hours later. Owing to the tendency of the powder mill company to discourage, any kind of vibrations, therp are no locks on the doors, which are noiseless, and all floors are heavily rubbered. This makes it easy for the married men who go up to Gary "to go to lodge," as they need have, no fear that their wives will hear them coming in at midnight.
