The passing of the Tolleston postoffice, a half-century old institution, and its absorption by the Gary postoffice in the near future calls attention to the constant growth, of Gary. There are within the Bteel city at the present time four separate postoffices, three of them older than the city itself. Besides this four other postoflices send their rural carriers into the Gary limits; so, it is no wonder that confussioa sometime exists. Thus if a resident of Gary living in the sixth ward were to have his mail addresed to "Gary, Ind- under present conditions he would not receive it because he lives in Tolleston and for some reason or other, that postoffice having been oa the department books for the civil war, the Washington authorities have been always slow in recognizing that Tolleston town was annexed to Gary two years ago. Two postoffices are tucked ajvay up in Gary's northwest Bide Bufflagton and Clarke Station. Thus the residents of the second ward of Gary must be pretty careful as to wnetner tney aaaress ineir mail to "Gary. Ind.," "Buffingtoa, Ind.," or "Clarke Station lad." More complexing conditions exist in the fifth ward of the city. Residents north of the Little Calumet get their mall from the Gary postoffice. Yet mail for Alderman Englehart's neighborhood must be sent to "It. F. D., Hobart. Ind." People a few blocks below Mr. ETnglehart have the address of "It. F. D., Crown Point, Ind." and the folks at Hoc ford park in the same ward have the postoffice address of "Griffith, Ind." Then again, those Hying in the Black Oak district are in ''Hammond, Ind." as far as the postoffice is concerned. Of course, the Buffington and Clarke Station postoflices will be aeeded for some years to come and the postoffices of adjoining cities . will have to help out Gary in getting its mail for awhile longer. Yet the Washington department, by eliminating a lot of red tape, could assist the local authorities in improving some of the obsolete conditions that now exist ONE JUDGE'S WAY. juage rvavanagn, wno created a very favorable impression on several occasions when he lectured in Hammond, has attracted the attention of Collier's Weekly with his progressive ideas. In its current Issue," the Weekly says of him: "Judge Marcus A. Kavanagh, one of the most respected of Chicago's Superior Court Judges, has decided to make a direct appeal to the people for reforms of the law. He believes that very much of the disrespect for law arises from the archaic and cumbersome machinery with which Its administration Is burdened. Th public might as well be made to un demand. Judge Kavanagh says, that the lawyers cannot be depended up on to afford relief. ' Judge Kavanagh believes that there should be inject

He believes, too, that Jurors should do their part in enforcing the law without sentiment or prejudice; that at the same time that the child is taught his moral and religious duties, love of country and veneration of parents," he should learn re spect for the-law but the law must first be- made worthy of the respect of child and man. This is simple teaching,, so simple that it may Beem difficult to the calloused mind; but when a Judge of a high court cx pounds this kind of doctrine as one of the solutions of a bad situation, it will at least have some moral effect." TOUGH DAYS. The American League of Muni cipalities seems to have hard sled ding these days. Its secretary is in the graft net at Detroit. And it is not quite ten months since its first vice president for 1910-H got dicto graphed in Gary. GARY'S WORTHY ENTERPRISE Gary is showing the customary spirit of enterprise in its effort to raise $30,000 for Mercy hospital. when Gary goe3 out for a thing it usually get3 It. hen it was announced a few days ago that it was the intention r; business men of Gary to raise $30, 000 for the purpose of building thi3 hospital; the feat seemed incredible But everybody in Gary got out and helped. The donations came in in deluge. Operations were not confined to- Gary, $3,000 was raised in Hammond every other ctty in the v cinity was drawn upon for aid, ' It now seems certain that the sub scriptlons will actually reach the $30,000 figure. Gary deserves a great deal of credit for its vnrV falong tQla Um ft Jg u reputation. It has proven conclusively that It does not necessarily have to have Young Men's Christaln Associations given to it. It goes out and get3 what it wants. "IMPASSABLE MORASS. la 1 S3 4-35 the federal government made surveys of Lake county; and Messrs. Sibley. Clark and Burnslde. who performed the work passed up 9 great deal of Gary land in the Little Calumet valley oa. either side of the "Calurolc" river as it was then call ed. This property embraced land in 13 sections or square miles begin ning at what Is now Clarke road extended south, and north of Ross, and east to Liverpool and East Gary, and north to Aetna. Some zlg zag lines were drawn about the tract and it was marked "Impassable morass." Where Broadway bridge now is was a center of the morass and morass it is still. It was not until 1870 that congress passed a special act ordering surveys of Incompleted portions of Lake and Porter counties. Computations made by those surveyors more than forty years ago showed that there are 2,943.56 acres In the morass, which la the meantime had not become so impassable that the Michigan Central and Pennsylvania railroads could not cross it. Eleven years later the Aetna Powder Company found the Impassable morass" a very convenl ent place for its mills and beyond the few hundred acres it reclaimed the rest or tnia now valuable proyerty has been useless save as hunting re serves for the Tolleston Gun Club. When the Burns ditch Is completed this morass will be turned to very good account.' If it is not needed for city lots it will afford space for some nne truck gardens; ana if not for that, the locality would make a grand park site. And, the Little Calumet when the ditch" is completed, will

WOMAN'S WORK. The question of suffrage for wom

en may be made light of and even ridiculed by some publicists and pub lications, but It is impossible to deny that the world-wide movement for the emancipation of women from household slavery has done a great amount of good. Even though woman's place be at home, her home life should not preclude her from taking an actvie part in the world's progress. Her sex should not bar her from public activity insomuch as it deals with the problems in which she is directly interested. Women's cluba are doing a magnificent work for humanity. Consider the following paragraph from the report of Mrs. Hugh M. Wlllet, president of the Georgia Federation of Woman's clubs, made at tha meeting, o-f the federation consider tha great uplift forces which It summarizes and the great reflex god that must accrue to the home thereby: J "Our civic clubs are waging a crusade against tuberculosis and all germ diseases. They work for the extermination of the housefly and the mosquito. They work for spring and fall municipal cleanlngup days, for well-kept lawns, clean streets, sidewalks, alleys and back pards, for the conservation of forests, for , Arbor day, public works,- playgrounds, school gardens, juvenile ' courts, modern and well ventilated schools, sanitary drinking Tonntalna, Individual drinking cups, rest rooms, public libraries, sane Fourth of July celebrations, for International peace, for the organisation of junior civic leagues, for the protection of song birds, for rural schools, boys' and girls agricultural clubs, county and school fairs, and for the extension of teaching for rural women." The man who could heap scorn on such activity is a relic of the dark ages. He is a brake to human progress. Women can aid In these great economic movements without making themselves conspicuous. The home influence directed by woman as a mother or as a wife can manifeetly be a powerful deterrent to evil and an uplift. Woman in Los Angeles showed how wisely she could vote. Her influence there was for law and order and without her suffrage. Heaven only knows what would have happened to Los Angeles. THEORY AND PRACTICE. Arthur Brisbane says that an editor ought to get a thousand dollars a year for every thousand subscribers his paper has. We always were strong ' for Art but what an editor ought to get and what he does get are two infinitely different things. YOU KNOW IT. Gary gets another plum through the decision of the United States Steel corporation to spend $1,000,000 in extensions and improvements during the coming year. Every grain of Indiana s worthless sand dunes is proving to be pure gold. Hunting ton Herald. AN exchange says that a pipe smoker doesn't care much for a pipe until it gets strong enough to take care of itself. ABOUT the best way after all to reduce the cost of high living is to make every man earn his own living. A BABY sol (Tin Rhode Island for $25 recently. Perhaps the Rhode Island babies are worth it however. THE Bar Association as we under stand it is not related in the least to the Indoor Yacht Club. THE young lady with the shoss that once were white Is with us very much and she looks the part. THE modern exponent of the theory that Tetat e'est moi 'is doing business at the old stand. IF ball players lost their heads like politicians heaven only knows where the game would land. NEVER mind about celebrating "Father's- Day." Just give us a night off once in a while. FANCY any "one trying to throw the harpoon into a man by the name of Borah! YOU know you can use apple sas.s if you don't care to pay the price for butter. ANOTHER uplift note. Beef is higher than at any time since 1909.

EARD BY RUBE HAY time Is near at hand in Lake county. But none of thia Maud Muller stuff as all of our judges are spliced. IP a lot of our mill workers took to raising- celery in their back yards they would feel that their salary was raising also. MAT ought to be glad it wasn't a bull moose: "Mat Jourdain of Crown Point spent one day recently in Lowell. He is still suffering from the encounter he had with an enraged Jersey "bull." Lowell correspondence to Ths Times. OUR idea of a waste of money is that five spot that a Muncie woman expended on a fancy pair of garters. Another embarrassing time Is when a Gillette user goes to the barber shop to srev dolled up and the barber asks him who did the shaving last. WHAT'S become of the old-fashioned young couple who had but $S0 between them and who weren't afraid of taking a chance and skipping oft to Gretna Green? ANYHOW Gary's credit Is good aa is evidenced by that little mortgage of $40,000,000 on Its eteel plant which was filed the other day. BAD catastrophies occasioned by the games lost by Its ball team is enough to make any town downhearted, but Crown Point ought to take on a little joy since Gary has been so kind to trust it with a $40,000,000 mortgage. NOW that big ships are steaming into the Indiana Harbor ship canal no doubt Brother Westberg- has achieved his tenyear ambition of being able to sing "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" and have all of the necessary marine color In the background. SOME one -has want ad in Muncie Press offering for sale " a full-blooded Jersey cow with heifer calf by side." Description reminds us of T. R. and the Hon. Bill FHnn. . I PERHAPS that harrowing silence on the part of the Hon. Battlaaxa Castleman Is due to the fact that either his chewing tobacco has given out or that ho has. sadly realized that the Gary council Is getting along Just as well without htm. WITH a steel plant or railroad yards locating down at Highland we will have to pass on to Porter etiunty the prize for raising the largest pickles. FRA ELB HUBBARD, scribbling from East Aurora. f denounces music at the dining table. The sweetest music at our boarding house board Is when the landlady announces the spring chicken course every second Thursday. PREACHER advises Miss Helen Gould to get wise to herself and marry some blackwoods man. Respectfully refer Helen to Valpo, Hosford Park or Lafayette. NOW that the U. S. Steel has cut down the cost of "gas the young man who i has persuaded his sweetheart that the lights ought to be low for economy sake will have to find another excuse. A FELLOW who Is a good musical hand always has a hard time figuring out whether they invited him to the party because of his own attractions or merely because it Is desired to amuse the other guests. SEEING that there Is such a heavy suffragette vote out in California its a tossup whether the heifer moosles will outvote the Woodrow Wilson sewing circles and political clubs. PAGE seven of this paper said Saturday night that the elopers from Chicago were making good ' connections now that the trolley line is running. Don't believe It. Half of all the Crown Point marriages get three paragraphs in the papers six months after. SEE that the Detroit aldermen have the dictagraphltits. Sympathy and flowers from Gary, Columbus and South Carolina. H. XX. C puts It that If the man who preceded Governor" Marshall in the gubernatorial chair took a drink now and then, and If another man who would succeed Governor Marshall (there

are fourteen of 'em, so don't guess too quickly) remained sober now and then both would be great statesmen. Heart to Heart Talks. Try IJJWITt A. NYE. BIS EDUCATED WIFE. T do not see yhy he married bet. He is a very brainy man, and she Is not an educated woman." Which was the comment of a friend of mine respecting a mutual friend recently married. I Joined issue. I said: "You are mistaken, I think. My friend's wife is not a college educated woman, , but she Is educated. She la a fine housekeeper, as I happen to know, and she is a very capable woman In many respect." Education is more than mere book learning. All true education Is a process of drawing out of one the best that Is in one. Education is expression of self. Now My friend's wife is admirably prepared for wifehood and motherhood, education sadly neglected by many weir schooled women of our day. And she has, in addition to her good looks and vivacity, health, poise, patience and a sweet disposition. And, moreover, she is much in love with her husband and is determined to make his home a happy one. What would you? But, her critic says, she is not "brainy." And in that also she is mistaken. Mentally she is as strong as her clever husband, but along different lines. And I am greatly mistaken if she does not succeed in managing her husband as well as her household. He will not feel the harness, but she will hold the lines Just the same. Brainy ? Intellectuality is not confined to a certain sort of culture. As much brain tissue is required for successful home management as for storekeepJn? or practicing law. The world. Indeed, could get along fairly well without lawyers and editors and architects, but could It get along without mothers? Educated? There are other educated people than those that are college trained. And as between mere mental gifts and Intellectuality of the heart the latter Is Infinitely to be preferred. And so thinks my friend respecting bis fine little wife.

Up and Down in INDIANA WIXTER POTATOES FOR POOR. As a result of Lafayette's first experiment In municipal potato growing, about seven hundred and fifty bushel of potatoes will be harvested for the poor of Lafayette. George R, Durgan, the mayor, originator of the Idea, worked out his plan through co-operation with the Charity Organization Society. The society asked a land owner for permission to use ten vacant lots in the north end of Lafayette- for the city potato patch. Mayor Durgan furnished the seed and the man to plant It. Since May the city prisoners have been busy in the garden. The city works the prisoners on a chain gang, and when the men were not at work on the streets they were sent to the potato garden.
