HARDER TO WIN NEXT OLYMPIC. In some respects the most important phase of the Olympic games this year is the evidence furnished of a great widening of popular interest In athletic sports. Nations have plunged heartily into the world competition for honors won by strength, skill, courage and endurance which, until very recently, paid little or no attention to such tests of physical prowess. This change is going on with incresing rapidity, it is progress which gathers momentum as the years go by. In 1916, when the athletes of the world gather in the capital of Germany, the number of men hard for champions to beat will be greater than ever before and more nations will be well represented-than have yet taken part in any Olympics. The countries which have led the world, hitherto, in these fine tournaments are going to have their work cut out for them next time as they never have had it in the past. Germny, for instance, will certainly be much harder for the United States and Great Britain to overcome than that nation has been in any Olympics yet held. What Sweden and Finland have done at Stockholm 'a sufficient to encourage all countries. even the smallest, to pit their best athletes against the brawn, stamina and skill of the world. wen, me more the merrier. The wider the competition the greater the glory of victory. However vast the army of athletes may be four yearB from now in the splendid metropolis of Germany, the Ameri can team will certainly keep well to the front. LOTS LIKE HIM. The Marlon Chronicle relates an incident connected with tha talk of nominating Bryan again for President. Two Irishmen were discussing him over their dinner palls. One of them said he hoped to be able to vote for Bryan again this fall. His companlon asked him what he was going to do that for. "Oh, well," was the reply, "I voted for him sixteen years ago, and twelve years ago, and eight years ago, and we've had good times ever since." FRUITS OF SOIL AND SPIRIT. Palestine is fast becoming one of the great orange-growing countries of the world. Much fruit of excellent quality Is being shipped every year to London and other markets In Northern Europe, and this year the crop of the district near Jaffa, tha port of Jerusalem, is estimated at 1,500,000 boxes. Farther up the Syrian coast Tyre and Sidon are expetced to reach a total of 400,000 cases of oranges exported and 200,000 cases of lemons. For a small country Palestine has many .interesting and valuable prod-i

Its olive groves are as productive as they are ancient and Its vineyards yield grapes of fine quality in great abundance. Notwithstand ing the drawback of a sometimes very deficient and usually scanty water suppy, Syria produces a large quantity of excellent food. But it is no teasy to think of Palestine's exports of oranges with out thinking of the I m m fn an ra Klw more important exports of ideas and ideals from that little country. By

comparison with the moral andiwe have to do is to run $36 worth

spiritual forces which hae gone out from Syria to enrich the world, al the products of the so,il which can be shipped from Its ports as long as the earth shall endure will be of little significance. WOULDN'T HE THOUGHT AT nrvA I. . . ..... c uuic mai a lauor says men might dress just as coolly as women if they had the nerve. Yes but the man with this self same nerve and a bunch of whiskers who started out to his ofice In a morning wearing a picture hat, a Mother Hubbard, a pair of white shoes and a dab of powder on end of his nose would have to stop pretty lively to keep from falling' in the hands of Chief Austgen's lusty bobbies and being hauled off to the dog house. THE HIGH COST OF LIVING. Now that the presidential cam palgn is about to be Btarted the peopeople of this community may expect to have dinned into their ears the theory that It is the high cost of liv ing that is driving this country to the demnition bow wows . in this connection the following Item will be of interest: " Boston, July 19. Accounts have just reached this city from Mdrld of the discovery at Palos, Spain, of a series of old ropal account books giving details of the outlay made by Columbus on his expedition to the new world. The equipment of his little fleet cost 14.000 pesetas and the personal expenses, including wges, of Columbus and crew during the eight months voyage, reached a total of 22,000 pesetas. The grand total spent for the discovery ofAmerica, therefore, was 36,000 pesetas or about $7,300. In spite of the small amount required, however. Queen Isabella was forced to pawn her Jewels, It Is related, to provide funds for the expedition. According to this A. M. Turner, of Hammond, -John Brown of Crown Point, Sam Watson of Gary, any one or a score of Lake county men could ire nnancea tne discovery of America and without having to pawn the crown jewels either. When the stories of the SDlendor of the old Spanish courts is told it is rather disappointing to learn that Queen Isabella did not have $7,500 In loose change about her. . It took only $7,500 to finance the discovery of America and over $75,uuu to finance the Hammond Coun try Club. Columbus might easily have arranged with any of the Lake county bankers for enough of a loan to nave provisioned and manned the Nina, Plnta and Santa Maria for a trip around the world . The trouble Is that the DeoDle nf this locality do not realize how high ineir standard of living is. Thv do not stop to think that the business agent of the hod carrier's union rides around in an automobile and that the common laborer get ss much now as the skilled mechanic did a hundred years ago.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD MAN. If a man could walk by opportunities for gain and for pleasure and turn neither to the right nor the left until his feet led him to some distant marsh or field where a bird with a broken wing lay waiting for a gentle hand to lift it into its kingdom of the air he would indeed be a good man. Goodness is the vision which sees where help may be be

stowed and takes no rest until the aid is given. This sort of vision In cludes opportunities for se!f-hep, but does not specify them above tha chance of doing good to others. HOW EDITORS GET RICH. It is great business this bring a newspaper publisher, unlimited chance3 for accumulating wealth are his. For Instance: A fellow out West wants us to run a lot of advertising tor him for nothing and if it brings - results he may become a subscriber. A gun firm wants us to run $19 worth of advertising and then send it $10 In exchange for a shotgun Such a gun would retail at about $6 For running 17 worth of locals we can get a $1 magazine, telling us how to do dressmaking at home. By running $50 worth of advertising and sending $25 to an Atlantic City firm we will be given a deed to a lot. When the tide Is In the lot stands six feet under water. A real estate firm will give us deed to a lot 22x60 feet for $40. We wrote a fellow who knew of the lots offered; he replied that they had no cash value, but a trading value of about $5. we can nave almost any New York daily paper sent us free. The subscription rate is only $4, but all or locas For $40 worth of advertising and .or- i tct&o we can own a bicycle. The wheel sells as just $12. About a dozen firms are anxious to give us shares in gold mines for advertising A nursery firm will send us a twen-ly-uve cent rosebush for only five cents worth of advertising. For run ning a six inch advertisement for one year we get a gross of pills. TOMORROW is fatefully awaited by the entire population of t'other end of the Gary & Southern. A double-barreled wallop at Hammond would cause the ringing of the firebell at Crown Point. IT is much more of a cinch that you will get over a grade crossing with both legs and arms if you wait till the train gets over the street in stead of "flipping" the cars. jaik. Jonnson thinks there are four colored fighters who ire better than any of the "white hopes." Well ovmuc wune men would not care if there were four hundred. TTTn . . . xnu. greatest joKe or the year in Hammond is the bursting of garden hose caused by the new "pressure" at the pumping station. It makes Homewood people giggle. HIGH school student has patented o. uiacLiue to cur. peacnes, but the dispatches do not say whether thev are tne sixteen year old peaches. W trow not however. THIS year promises to be noted in politics for the number of candidates fighting hopeless battles as if they mougnt tney could win. LADY advertises for "a rathe small cow, nice looking and young." Must be a mistake. Probably want bull moose. THE name of the chairman of the bull moose party chairman In the Tenth district is Coffin. Now, all together "BLOWING In the band Is great for the lungs," says a tuba player Yes blowing anywhere is not so bad. ALL the world loves a lover un til he tries to borrow a little money Then the world just hates him. SOMETHING Is going to happen surely Lillian Russell has stayed married nearly three weeks. BY the way what's become of our old friend the East Side Improvement Association?
