OF COMMERCE. Under the leadership of Judge virgll S. Reiter, a type of hlgh-mlnd-ed public spirited citizen, the Hammond Chamber of Commerce which rectors of the new organiaztion is of such a character that it is certain t demand the respect of every citizen. The high purpose of this new orthe past and will work In the interclean slate and the highest of pur poses. This being evident the citizens of I Hammond mayfeel assured that this city at last has a forum for the 3i3cussion of public questions In which i the result of such discussions is not to be determined in advance of the arguments ,as has been the case in and keenest minds of a city like Hammond . are concentrated ou a particular line of endeavor it may be expected to have a tremendous influence on placable public opinion.

Today THE TIMES issues the largest newspaper that has eyer been printed in this corner of Indiana. It consists of five sections of eight pages each or forty pages in all. The remarkable fact is that 32 of these 40 pages are devoted to the real estate interests of the great Calumet region. There are compilations of facl3 that reveal the marvelous potential activity of this district . and will astonish even the real estate dealers themselves who have been trained to consider these things. . For instance THE TIMES shows how many men are employed in the region at 'the present time, how many men will be employed when the plants are running at full ca pacity and how many will be employed when scores of new plants have been built and have added their thousands of workingmen to those already employed. The real estate field has been covered In detail and the edition is one of the most remarkable expositions of the wonders of the Calumet region that has ever been sent out. It will not be surprising if the facts that are disclosed precipitated a boom all over the region. THE TIMES is the only newspaper in the entire Calumet district that has the force and, equipment to er able it to collect such an array of facts as Is published in this real estate edition. It has been compiling and assembling facts from the four corners of the region for several days. THE TIMES suggests that citizens can perform no better service for the region or for their own locality than to send a number of these papers to out of town friends. It is the best prospectus of the region that it ever had and there is not a single exaggeration. Rather not half the truth has been told. RESPECT FOR LAW. Legislation in Gary now prohibits cows, pigs, horses, Plymouth rocks. ducklings and turkeys from comine; within twenty-five feet of any house Let them have a care. It is to be hoped that the barnyard rn

will have a greater respect for legislation than some of its human crea-

tos. THERE are people who muzzle their dogs and then let them go about half-starved. This is the acme of human cruelty and the man who is guilty of such conduct deserves to be muzled and starved himself. A POSTMASTER In Maine who had reached 93 years of age .has re signed without being accused of working for Mr. Taft's renomination hence is entitled to be christened the seventh wonder of the world. CONNECTICUT girl has promised her sweetheart that the marriage Till take place Just as soon as she can vote. That means of course that sweetheart is going to live a lonely life for the rest of his years. WHY doesn't some enterprising newspaper get a moving picture of Uncle Joe Cannon expressing his views on the, political situation in the republican imrty. No one would be able to hear the cuss words. POOR woman in New Jersey who had 23 children tried to kill herself by drinking turpentine. Well poor thing, she probably tried to follow the Outlook editor's advice as to the children. "CACTUS," says Luther Burbank "is destined to becqme a very popular food." We would much rather have a dish of cactus than some of the breakfast food that is being turned out. OBJECTION is made because fun erals in this country cost $208,000. 000 per annum. Well nobody can seriously object to the lessening of the number of funerals. THERE are said to be 10,000 vacant houses in Terre Haute. If they could only 'be moved up fn the Calumet region where they are so very badly needed. IN some parts of Ohio, they call him Uncle "Jud", but to look at that austere physiognomy you would never think bo would you?

EXPERT says woman is drifting

into a tearless age. Show us a tear less woman so we can shake hamli with her; : SAW a straw lid yesterday but we are gently reminded that one straw bonnet doesn't make a summer by a long shot. , WOMAN sculptor says woman needs corsets. Yes about as badly as mankind needs women sculptojs. THE TIMES' annual real estate edition will be some stimulant to ac tivities along building lines. LINA Cavelierl says she will never ping in this country again. Well here's your hat pin Lina. DID you ever see Miss Spring with such a red nose? We know she had a bad code id her head. READER We understand that Dr. Harvey Wiley is a democrat of the Jeffersonian type. WLLLi the lawn-mower and the window screens look Just as natural as they ever did, eh? SAVE your copy of THE TIMES today. It will come In handy for reference. HEARD BY KOBE A NEW YORK paper has printed the United States Steel tonnage report. We can now look for the 'eleemed Gary Trib. to denounce it as a fake. WE see by The Times that an East Chicago "alderman was arrested for quorum." No doubt Its cheaper than being towed in for bribery. "What avalleth all of thes graft prosecutions in Gary?" writes a Griffith old timer. Think of the lawyers. LIFE is never so rosy as when you meet a fellow who owes you and who starts out by. reminding you of it and it is never so gloomy as when he proceeds to say: "Lend me ten more and I'll pay you all up next week."

Dean would b phllanthropleal enough to present to the rare manuscript division of the Gary public library tho original dictagraph records of Gary statesmen. Certainly something; ought to be done. AS usual we'll now have to read the stories about the people who meant to sal! on the Titanic, but who didn't. FUNNT thins about tha Governor Marshall presidential boom is that you don't see hla name on tha primary ballots in the different states. A HAMMOND merchant is advertising: free alarm clock with every mattress. This is a case of inorganic affinities. "PRECEDENT BROKE BY PE3IDENT WHEN HE DINED WITH GERMAN AMBASSADOR." read headlines. Good thing- for William H. that a set of Haviland wasn't smashed. SINCE swimming- tanks are being installed In schools the modern small boy will have to rig up a better excuse than a s wlmmln hole one if he wants to have pa side In with him when he plays bookj. EXCAVATIONS made in Crete show that the women of 33 centuries ago , wore worsets. high-heeled shoes, large hats and hobble-skirts. All of which ought to throw some light on where tha freak fashions-come from. A GARY man has had his hous burned to the ground after having had four blazes in it In a few months. Perseverance overcame all obstacles. VOICE OF3 P E O RLE WANTS LOWER STEPS. Hammond, Ind., April 17. Editor TtuBs: Your paper Is tho leading influence of the vicinity and would it not be using that great influence to a good cause If you were to advocate lower steps on street cars, particularally on the East Chicago line? It certainly would be a God-Ben-l to our women. Thanking you in advance I am, Very truly, A DAILY READER. Cashier
