IT WAS ONLY "POPPA." Heing a farming community and naturally more than ordinarily interested in weather prognostications the good people of Jasper county are eager to read all the signs correctly and are just now figuring whether spring is enroute or not. Especially is the advent of the robin and the meadow lark awaited. The Rensselaer Republican sa-s-"A young lady told the following story at the depot thla morning when the subject of robins was be-1 ing discussed: "'The other mornlnpf mother was
certain she heard the note of a nieadowlark, and pushed the window shade aside and looked out of the window. Not seeing anything after a moment's watching she left the window and had no sooner done so than to again hear then sound, apparently right beneath the window. Another search was made but no meadowlark was seen and then the sound seemed to come from behind her and looking about she found that It was only papa snoring.'"

of the newspaper boys are poor judges
or else they never visited an art gallery.

THE INDUSTRIAL CIRCLE.
The news that the H. Wf. Johns-
Manville Company, Passaic, N. J."
will build a ?5, 000, 000 plant, em
ploying 5,000 to 7,000 men, at River dale means much to the city of Ham
mond.
Hammond has always maintained
that the cities of north township are
in the real heart of the Calumet dis
trlct. The map gives an erroneous impression of the location of the city
for the reason that it is always shown on the edge of the map of Lake County. Commerce knows no boundary lines and as Hammond Is the nearest large city to the site of the new plant it will be a great deal of the benefit that will follow the location of so large a concern in this district. Two things are necessary to enable Hammond to get the greatest good out of the development to the westward of that city. One, is to get immediate transpor-

advertise the fact that good homes
with all of the necessary improve
ments may be had at a very low fig
ure in West Hammond and Hammond.
It will be only a fifteen minute
ride to the plant of the new company
and the fare will be only five cents. If a double track line could be built at the present time it will mean that many of the first employes of the plant will live in Hammond. The others will follow. This now completes the circle of notable industrial developments around Hammond. The western plant of the Baldwin Locomotive
work3 is about six miles to the eastward of Hammond, the new steel mills of the Gogebic Iron Company are to be built in Hammond on its north side, the Erie railroad is to
build yards, coal storage warehouse,
shops, and car repair plant at High
lands, south of the city, and now the
H. W. Johns-Manville Company is to
build just to the westward.
GET BUSY WITH OSCAR.
We read with interest the other
day the news that the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce vhad passed resolutions urging Judge Gary to order the completion of the new wire and steel mills at Corey. The market
is good and the Alabamans wonder why the steel trust's mills aren't be
ing finished. , Perhaps if the Birmingham business men will recall that the Hon.
Oscar Underwood, congressman from
that district, has been boosting tariff legislation not wanted by the iron and stel Interests they might see the ligh. Petitions to Oscar might accomplish the right results.

"OHIO LEGISLATURE TO PROBE STRIKE OF RVEBEK WORKERS." Inter-Ocean headline. Probably going to see if the strike stories haven't been stretched.

"NOTU DAKOTA lobbyist is held for charge he offered b-ibe a.nst tobacco hill." Chances are this will end up in smoke. SOMETHING is going to happen. This much of the year 1313 has gone by and the Laporte dispatches fall to have the Indiana peach crop killed oft. "IT'S a bad habit for a young married couple to get into to forget to kiss each other." Laury Jeen Libbey. This is one of the things that a newly-married-couple should worry about.

WE must agree with the sawed-off
editor who said that the statement is circulating again that men of genius
have been short. There was Lord Nelson, Caesar, Bonaparte, and a host of others. Whenever we are short we always think of these great men.

broke all past records for this part of
the state, if not for the entire state, for unusual killings, while hunting on Blue river. He carried a six-shot re

a flock ofeleven ducks on the water he
killed six of them. With the remaining five ducks on the wing.

Fort Wayne for arson, refused to tes

decision of the three men to refuse to

placed the three men in the same cell
ln the county jail.
WILL NOT PAV ALIMONY. Dolph Meltzer, a Lafayette township
farmer, will not pay alimony to hl di
vorced wife, Nora Meltzer, unless the supreme court compels him to do so, and his wife will not consent to the divorce unless the same tribunal so decides. Recently Meltzer brought suit ln the superior court for divorce and
the wife filed a cross-complaint asking
for alimony. Judge Austin granted the divorce and declined to allow alimony
to the wife. EP1DSMIC CLOSES SCHOOLS.
