CAN YOU ULlGtNE THIS? That boosting; for the Calumet!

region consistently baa reached a fine

point with some people is evidenced by

a story which may be overdrawn in

details but which has a "punch" Juat

the same. .

A human direllct had come to his

death in an unusual manner and in a place far away from here. The re

mains were about to be taken to the potter's field when the solemn looking undertaker cleared his throat and casting his eyes over the motley

crowd that had gathered, asked In a solemn tone of voice: "Is there a

minister in this here crowd?"

There was no response, and after having duly waited for a reply, the

undertaker asked again: "Is there a relative or friend of the deceased present?"

There was no response, and In

desperation the undertaker raised his

voice and called out: "Is there any

body here who is accustomed to make an address for an occasion of this

kind?" ' .

Everybody looked at everybody else, and the master of ceremonies again Beemed doomed to disappointment. But on the outer edges of the crowd there was a noticeable activity. Heads on craning necks were turned backward to watch a large florid faced man wedge his way to the front. Some say he wore a red hued suit, and that his stick pin was lettered "T. V. E." with diamond settings. Having gotten to the head of the casket, he pulled out his handker

chief and wiping his perspiring fore

head, he waited a moment to catch his breath and then began:

"Ladles and gentlemen, I am not a

minister of the gospel. I am not" a relative of the deceased, nor did 1 enjoy his acquaintance. I am not

even a public' speaker, but if you will listen to me for a minute I would like to tell you something of the great Calumet region."

DISMAL PROSPECTS AHEAD. It appears that the originator of the bill to have Gary advanced from the fourth to the third class is no other than the picturesque Battleaxe Castleman, the ex-alderman and at the present time a candidate for mayor, air. Castleman has of late taken up the cudgel in behalf of assessment payers. Now. Mayor Knotts would rather have the heavens fall than to see Gary in the third class. One of the peculiarities of the In

diana laws is that councils of the third class cities have. the power to

abolish the board of public works

Thus, improvements would be up to the aldermen and a reckless board of works would be out of the question.

With Gary among the cities of the third class some of its poor unfortunate public improvement con

tractors might be forced to earn an

honest living.

propose to erect.

No better snort cuts to reducing

the high cost of living exists than a

properly conducted market. It will benefit farmers and the town folks and it will draw money from surrounding communities to Gary banks.

there is no reason why you cannot be on the best of terms with the physician and the druggist. A pair of gauze silk stockings, ehowlng a pink arched instep above a pair of low pumps, will hasten your acquaintance with the practice of medicine.

IT IS DIFFERENT NOW. If you dig around in the old trunk up in the attic some rainy afternoon you may come across that fearfully and wonderfully embroidered petticoat grandmother wore away back in

flannel days. How do you suppose

she ever stood all those gathers eround the waist? Why the skirt must measure fully five yards around the bottom, and your last tribute to a passing bit of apparel was a scant yard, slashed at the sides to give you walking space.

And, just think, no longer than a generation ago women labored under the impression, entirely erroneous, of

course, that you ought to wear heavier things in February than you do in August. They've found out differently now, of coarse. Any sheerest linen, plentifully criss-crossed with lace to add to its, transparency, will make the smartest lltle blouse
