turn to Lake County again. He has finished his life's work. It would be fitting then If the people of this community would look up from their tense activities for a moment and make some practical recognition of the services of a man who unselfishly has given his life to the community.
CLEVELAND mother estimates the cost of supporting and educating daughters as follows: From seventeen to twenty, $75 a month; from twenty to twenty-five, $100 a month; from twenty-five to thirty-five, $150 a month. Young couples hould be careful.
THERE are 25,000 autos now in use in the United States and at least 800,000 of them. It seems are anchored in Hohman street near the "four corners" when one wants to make a sidewalk landing between seven and nine o'clock any night.
A WORTHY PROJECT. There is . just one man in Lake county who links the present period of remarkable industrial expansion with the early days when the county was solely an agricultural community. That man is Rev. T. H. Ball of Crown Point, now at the venerable old age of $6. Because this man made tha history of Lake county his hobby its early history Is preserved in a number of his writings. Rev. Ball has been more than a historian he has been a real Influence in the community whose journal he has kept. For half a century he has been a wholesome Influence in the community In whicn he lived. Recognizing his service to the county John Brown, Oscar Dinwiddle and Judge Johannes Kopelke have authorized the collection of a subscription which is expected to be large enough to take Rev. Ball to warmer southland this winter and which should also be ample for his personal needs the rest of his life. This Is a worthy project and should receive the Bupport of everybody who can spare a little money for a good cause. The funds should be sent to the T. H, Ball fund in care of the First National Bank, Crown Point, Ind. Rev. Ball will probably never re-
H0W WOULD IT D0t The French government has entered Into an agreement to pay Mulal Hafid $7,000 a year as long as he keeps out of politics. Mulal is the ex-sultan of Morocco. Good idea for the Gary government. Mayor Knotts and his Chicago contractor friends might hire ExAlderman Battleaxe Castleman to fight his ambitions until the town Is well paved and sewered. We believe that for $7,000 a year Battleaxe would be willing to pass up his ambition to become mayor, thereby keeping the control of the contractletting machinery in the present proper and efficient hands.
prosperity of Vandergrlft. The town gives the He to detractors who have declared that liquor is the "saving grace"' perhaps the necessary antidote of the "slaving toil that breaks men down at 40" in the steel mills. These men of Vandergrlft do not simply exist there they live. It Is no working camp; It's a home community. The employes of the great American sheet and tin plate works are 90 per cent American. They own their own homes, too. In fact, it is a question if 20 per cent of the houses In Vandergrlft are rented. More than that, the men live well. The word "luxury" has no meaning there, for they have Bought and gained the things bo classed. So one of the things that Impresses the stranger the great number of automobiles owned by the workers Is not sur
prising to them. It is a matter of course. About 3,400 men are employed in the plant .and the Vandergrlft automobile club has mce than 150 members. -Edward M. Thierry, In Leslie's.

MAM says he was bitten on the big toe by a pickerel and he fears rabies or something. Buy us a ticket to Three Lakes and give us a ten day lay-off and see how quickly we'd give a pickerel a chance.
BILL Flinn of Pa. is some politician; he will vote for bull moose electors but observe party regularity. In other words he will wear clothes
and he will run around without any
clothes.
STEEL TRUST DRY TOWN. In point of fact, there is not a single saloon in Vandergrlft, Pa. indeed, there is none within five miles of the spot. It is an industrial town, yet the liquor adjunct, so highly capit&liedz by those whose mission It Is to criticise, never has been considered necessary to the peace and

"CAST NOT THE FIRST STONE."
Iliana Reidan, the Ignorant and poverty-stricken Roumanian woman, is held at the county jail without bail because she threw her baby Into the lake. We should be slow about judging this poor woman. The troubles she has passed through and the effect they have had on the processes of her uneducated mind and her dwarfed soul the Almighty alone knows. Left a widow months ago. alone in a strange land, the woman found It impossible to support herself and child. In despair she threw It into the lake rather than have It die by starvation. Who is there to say that the psychology of her lapse is nonexcusable. We hope that it will not go hard with this poor woman. To send her to the states prison would be giving her the same punishment as has been meted out to some of the Gary negro cut throats, whose Uvea have been a menace to humanity.
Society should aid rather than punish this unfortunate woman. Even if she, driven to desperation, had sold herself to support herself and child, she would not have been looked down upon. But she did not do this. There is much of a parallel in
Iliana Reldan's case in Fantine, the betrayed girl, and her child, Cosette, 1 in "Les Mlserables." Fantine first
sold her hair, then her beautiful teeth and finally herself- for her child. Iliana Reidan's mother-love
was probably as great; and distract
ed In mind and starving on body she put the little one out of misery.
come by hundreds of getting as many votes as the state ticket will and if a bull moose county ticket is named well it won't get a corporal's guard of votes.

MEN who brag about their wealth are really worth merely their weight multiplied by the market price of pork.
IF some people would endure other things with the same patience they endure classical music their reputation for good disposition' would be greatly improved. ,
IT is no trouble whatever to find sound reasons for making most any kind of a disagreeable prediction.

WrEST Hammond needs some more soap and water. The trouble with the reforms there and the cleanups In that theV never REALLY clean up to start with.
THE BATH TUB. Woodrow Wilson was in the bath tub when the news that Illinois had gone for him was brought to him. Important news has a habit of catching a man in the bath tub. For Instance, while in ihe bath tub yesterday we were: Wanted at the telephone twice. Told that a man at' the front door had an important message for us; two collectors requested an audience with us; a neighbor came to borrow the lawn mower, and three times we were asked if we wouldn't please hurry and go out to stop two dogs that were fighting on the front lawn. Woodrow Wilson isn't the first man to be in the bath tub when great events are happening says a contemporary.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN. You can bank on it that the state bull moose ticket will not come by thousands of getting as big a vote as Roosevelt. You can bet on it that the district bull moose ticket won't
OUR idea of a very important Job would be to be the prohibition candidate for congress from the Fort Wayne Bergoff district. WHY Chicago newspaper readers get arteriosclerosis: "BABIES WIS MII.K FIGHT." Tribune headlines. "CITY WI.XS FIGHT FOR PURE MII.K." Record-Herald headlines. "CHICAGO EXAMINER WINS ITS HARD BATTLE FOR PURE MIIK." Examiner headline. AS was to be expected the Examiner In all ef Ita self-importance proceeded to grab oft the credit much In the manner of a Gary newspaper. SOUTHERN girl haa petitioned congress to be permitted to change her name. Up in these Calumet region cities the girls get plenty of petitions from the young men regarding the changing of their names. UNDERSTAND that Mr. Hoover of Gary, he who owns the motor ambulance, is trying to get the contract for hauling Brother A. F.'s congressional
boom out to the new garbage cr- , tory. REMEMBER M. L.'g revised L Jean Libbey's quotation of last v inter. "What Is better than a well waH--ed face before breakfast?" Judge Huber cables In that not seeing Roosevelt's name on the fAnt page of the
j morning papers beats the well wathed
face racket. IT might be more economical for President Taft to buy a big veto signing machine, so he can swat those frisky congressmen a little faster. "A GOD speaks softly in our breast; softly yet distinctly, shows us what to hold by and what to shun." Goethe. The Goethe golden motto Is nailed at the masthead of the Indianapolis Star's editorial page. Inasmuch as the Star flops so much between the Taft and Roosevelt movement the inference is
that it doesn't hear very well when the Lord speaks softly. Then again, now that Is using the great poet's words, the Star may fallen into his belief that as long as a man lives he errs and that if he strives upward there'll be redemption in the end. Maybe the Star will be redeemed after while. NOW that the Populist party is going to the dogs we suppose that its chairman. Brother Jim Ferriss of the Joliet News, will have his name hacked out of "Who Is Who In America." A Goshen ham and eggs affair: Goshen, Ind., Aug. 0. Following a suptuous breakfast this morning at her home Miss Beulah Lambert announced her coming engage ment to Carl Whlsler. Dispatch to the Elkhart Truth. CHICAGO man had to make out an affidavit that he Is honest. Some Crown Point men have to have affidavits now days so that their wives will believe that they are not afflnltlzed. THE 'steemed Michigan City News the other day ran an article in the mortuary column about the forthcoming opening of the public schools. No
doubt the small boys who read It thought that the position was appropriate. AS near as we can figure it out the bull moose congressional candidate from this district is one of the chief bowers of th Brothers Knott.
