MARTIN a GILL. REALTY MARKET HEALTHY. TJjere is a healthy tone to the real estate market as a result of the approach of spring weather and the reports that there are to be two large industries locate in Hammond shortly. Sales of property in all parts of the city are being made. No large transactions are being reported, however. Large investors in Hammond are pretty well loaded up with real estate as a result of their participation in the East Chicago boom. But the small investor is becoming confident in the future and large number of lots are being sold to them. The north side' is the scene of most of the present activity. The fact that the Baldwin Loco motive works hta located just south of Chicago avenue in East Chicago and that the South Shore lines furnish th best of transportation laciimes to Hammond s north side accounts for the boom there. WHITINGS ESPRIT DU CORPS, The performance of the Whiting high school students in winning first place in music, first place in the girls' declamation contest and a tie for first place in the boys' declama tion contest is a tribute to the effi ciency of the Whiting public school system, a credit to the winners them selves and proof of the value of the splendid school spirit that exists in Whiting. wmung noes not occupy a very large place on the map but it's schools rank first in the matter of results attained. Whiting succeeds because every citizen glories in the success of its students in these lines of activity No conquering hero was ever received with greater acclaim than the young men and women who returned to Whiting after the contests at Hammond. The contestants from Whiting knew that, win or lose, tliey

Kls.tr. would have the loyal support of the entire city. Whiting makes these lines of en deavor worth while to the students who represent the city by showing its enthusiastic appreciation of the service rendered. After the Whiting basket ball team had proved itself the winner of the Lake county championship and went down state to attempt to wre3t the state championship honors from he school which claimed it; the team lost but a band was waiting at the station in Hammond to welcome th? boys and it was received with as loud acclaim as though it had returned with the championship. Enthusiasm, school spirit, esprit du corps or what ever you want to call it is a splendid quality to lnculcata In the rising generation. The same qualities, which brought success to the Whiting contestants will make them successful in later life in other lines of activity. Whiting is making useful citizens out of its high school students. Lawrence Smith, Edna O'Hara and the chorus all deserve the honors thej have won. . Lester Ottenheimer of East Chicago reflected credit on his school by tieing for first place in the boys' declamation contest. In fact the work of all the contestant is creditable. COME INTO THE DAIRY, MAUD One way to keep the boys on the farm is to get the girls to leave the city for the country. A fellow wouldn't mind milking the cows half as much If he had a peach to go with his cream every time he drove in to the co-operative churn mill. Walker (Minn.) Pilot. MRS. ISADOR STRAUS. In the book cf Rutti it is written: "Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee; for whither thou goes t I will go; and where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God; "Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried; the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me." Many centuries after, in a far dif ferent civilization, with a bitterer lot to share, another Ruth said, 'Where thou diest will I die and there will I be buried." Laporte Argus Bulletin. BACK IN DEAR OLD MUNCIE. Mrs. Charles H. Anthony, the "In diana Sunburst," is back again in Muncie; back again with her farfamed diamond heels, bejeweled fin gers, and that cute little ball of solid ivory that rest supon her statuesque shoulder says the Fort Wayne News. She fluttered about Washington and New York until thev Titanic disaster momentarily distracted public attention, and then in the lull she stuffed her diamond-heeled shoes, her nightie, and a box of face powder in her grip along with some had sand wiches, hard-boiled eggs, and a couple of red apples wrapied up in a newspaper, and started for Muncie She arrived on the Big Four train that always gets in two hours late, and was met by Mr. Anthony, bright ly beaming as the husband of so great a celebrity might be expected to beam or gleam. And while the populace feverishly discussed her re galia and the fact that Mr. Anthony had assured the assessor that diamonds such as she wore could be purchased for $5 a quart, she assembled the reporters at her home and thus adddressed them: "There la nothing like it. Wash--ington society is gay and Broad way has its charms, but after all there is no place like dear old Muncie." At first blush this might appear extravagant praise from one so fresh, so decidedly fresh, from conquests of one sort or another In the east. But let us not forget that dear old Muncl? is the base of supplies. It is a meal ticket. HAS A DOUBLE VALUE. The other day we presented a good example of the beneficial workings of political economy when we showed the double value of the Gary bolt works to this industrial county. Besides being an asset of considerabla Importance, an institution employing hundreds, it will secure its raw materials from the Gary steel mills. Thus, when home made raw materials are used the community profits

doubly. But if a large furniture factory were to locate here we would profit by it but another community would, also derive some of the bene

fits for we do not produce lumber. It follows then that industries that consume principal things that we produce here Won, steel, cement, refined oil, are' of more relatives importance than glass, factories, furniture shops or paint mills. On the other hand, the coming of a basic industry, a rubber concern, for instance, would pave the way for other activities that would use it3 materials tire, boot, rubber-goods and associated lines. The Baldwin locomotive works which is coming to Calumet is in the same class as the Gary bolt works. It will use steel from the Inland and Illinois plants and it may procure the products of the bolt works. There is no industry so ultimately basic as in the manufacture of steel. Steel is the chief fabric of our modern industrial progress and it is because we produce this basic product here that wre are enabled to build about it such vast community of as sociated Interests. ON IGNORING THE PRESS. The meh composing the Lake County High School Oratorical Association are at the head of Lake County high schools leaders, supposedly, of educational and advance thought'. How then does it seem to hear that these men say they can get along without the press one of the great est educational factors in the land? Yes that is what they have done! In assigning tickets for the oratorical contest they would allow none to the press of the county. Every paper in Lake county gives columns of space and matter toward building and boosting the schools For this" they receive nothing, and expect nothing. It is a part of tholr duty to the community to aid in nd vanclng everything that will promote the welfare of the community But suppose they took the other course, how soon would these men realize the importance of the co-op eration of the press? The press of Lake county should give these men to understand that their co-operation merits them to common courtesy and demand thnt they receive It. Hammond News. SOME one sends us a neat pamphlet, entitled: , "Useful . and Timely Hints For the Care of the Baby." Thanks but we have our own little bundle of hints and she weighs 120 pounds. "THERE is a fresh hint of unrest in the Balkan," says a contemporary. Oh pshaw! It is Just the regular spring revolt agantst the confounded house-cleaning you know. "TO arms" shouts Dr. Anna Shaw, the gallant suffragette. If Anna means her arms, we beg to advise her that the missus is looking and we simply can't get away. SOMETIMES we think lightly of one another but It only needs some peril or misfortune to happen to one individual to show all the others the kinship of folks. LONDON park keepers threaten a strike unless they are permitted to wear trousers. Mercy! What do they tog 'em out in over there mother Hubbards? POSSIBLY those Dyer bank rob bers had heard about Marshal Stech and at the last moment refused t take any chances with him. THE officers of the County High scuooi oratorical association now know what some of the people thin'i of them anyway. AT a banquet Mayor Gaynor said "We are far soberer than our fath ers." Yes, sometimes the waiters are very inattentive. BY the way if you have dogs and chickens to keep, why not keep them? Why turn them loose on the neighbors? DOCTOR says there is no such thing as a fatal kidney punch Probably true. It Is the rum punches that hurt. YOU only have about 24 hours left you know in which to go out and borrow enough to pay your taxes. inc. sweet gin graduate is ex tremely busy trying to get father to open up his purse-strings. THE big stick seems to have come back.

ONE reason that our proofreader doesn't use the public bubbling'cups- is because It hurts his back to bend over. FROM what we can glean so far the Titanic would not be at the bottom of the sea if: (1) It wasn't so near, the icebergs, f2) if the lookout had spy glasses, (3) if the ship had a searchlight, (4) If there were more lifeboats, (5) if some of the other wireless men hadn't been sleeping. (6) if Mr. Ismay had jumped overboard. Therefore their being so many to blame the investlga tlon will end undoubtedly up without blaming any one. A UKE COUNTY man has invented a folding pedestal.

He said he was in Bloomington on thenlght of the whitecapping and loafed about town until 11:30 o'clock, when he returned home. The defense used several witnesses. Including a brother, to establish an alibi. Harold Voliva, a school teacher; Dr. Simmons and several others testified for the state.
