A GOOD ACT AND ITS EEWAKD. Twenty-three years ago Minora Montgomery, the beautiful young bride of a Pittsburg millionaire, was on a visit to hos Angeles with her husband. It wa3 at this time that the Salvation army was struggling for a foothold in America. In the early nineties the good of this Institution was not appreciated as It is now. However, the Montgomerys saw that the army workers were sincere and that irf given encouragement they would become a great factor in their chosen work. The pair was converted and they contributed liberally to the cause, the young woman giving thousands toward the Deulah Rescue home, a shelter started by the army to aid friendless girls and women. Tbe other day the same woman was one of the unfortunates in the Gary police court. She had met with ad versity and is now parted from her husband. The struggle became sharp and the result was that she became a court charge. Observing, that even though she was before the bar, that the was yet a good woman and that the assistance of the right sort would aid her, the judge paroled the gray haired woman to the care of a Salva tion army captain. As the office stepped up to her side his thoughts traveled back over the years and be recalled her as the army's benefactor of nearly a quarter of a century ago now in need of its assistance. Minora Gillroore Doming, as she is now known, is now being assisted by the same agency that she aided when the was wealthy. When she gave her thousands she probably never thought mat some day she would be one of the beneficiaries.

Leaving it to experts to wrangle and decide as to the merits of the rates on motor cars and parts thereof to be imposed by the coming' tariff law, may we salute and thank that treasury of knowledge the Hon. Jame3 Rex Mann, M. C., of Chicago, for the gracious phrase wherewith he illuminated the House whereof he was so long a leader? "The poor man's car."

Cigarettes, now whiffed Into the nostrils of the world by "husky" longshoremen and truckmen full of fight, were once the loathly and hated Insignia of the "dude." Devil wagons, not so long ago the "cars of Juggernaut," murder wagons, homicide carts, chariots wherein purple plutocrats rushed to destroy the populace and its dogs, pullets and chickens, are now by the confes sion of the stern and rockbound Mann "the poor man's cars," his improved wheelbarrow. An infallible instinct guides this Mann and chief of men. He knows that every true American longs un mltigably for a motor car. Old men among us can remember when the firm land to sea was turned by the lachrymal ducts of statesmen broken hearted over "the poor man's break fast table. Aspirations and needs have grown. Now the poor man must tool cars and grumble at the high cost of gasoline. The Hon. James Rex Mann has put a sensitive finger on the pulse of mil lions. If the Democrats "soak" the poor man's car" their name is writ In mud. A PUZZLE. "Battle Just Begun". . . .Pres. Wilson 'Ditto" Gov.

More than a million people took ad vantage of the "educational trains" tent through the rural districts last year by the State agricultural colleges of thirty-one States, according to fig ures compiled by F. B. Jenks, of the United States Bureau of Education. In this way the colleges havo brought knowledge of improved meinoas or iarming Dome to many who would probably never have been reached in any other way. The educational train usually con sists of three to ten coaches, well sup plied with exhibits and demonstration apparatus, and in charge of practical men who can talk Interestingly on the farmer's real problems. The stops made by these trains range from two hours to half a day. Four State colleges those in Texas, California, Louisiana and Oklahoma report attendance at the stops of these educational trains of a hundred thousand or more during the season The Oklahoma institution takes the opportunity to attach to the train car containing moving picture views of college activities, thus cleverly at tracting the attention of the farm boy to tne possibilities of an education at the State college. WOULD HELP THE ROADS It is to be hoped that the county authorities will see their way clear to comply with the wishes of the arrangement eommitteos of the Chicago Indiana Society with reference to sprinkling the auto highway from County next June. Lake County will welcome these prominent CMcagoans and Hoosiers with open arms. Several hundred automobiles are to convey the picnickers from Cedar Lake to Hammond over the grandest highways in the state, and if ever Lake County's road should be at their best on this occasion. Much has been said and written in condemnation of the automobile as an enemy of good roads, but the fact is that the automobile Is here to stay and it has proven its worth. What we have to do is not to relegate the auto, but to make an attempt to meet

Here's one fathered by the Louisiana Twice-a-Week Times: "Sam Griffith say's that, last summer he had a big Plymouth Rock hen that was too lazy to build herself a nest. So she found a small sparrow's nest in a cedar tree about six feet from th-j ground, and each day she fiew up to and gently placed there her egg, which most of the time was too big and fell to the ground; but not an egg was broken." And people get away with these things and live. NOT TALKING TO YOKELS. All that Vice President Marshall has lately said about the power of states to regulate inheritance laws is true enough, but it is not the less amusing that he should have expounded it . with so much solemnity. The trouble with the good Hoosier Vice President Is that he lacks sophistication. He does not seem to know where he Js at, nor quite realize what has happened to him, nor why, as the Evening Post says. It is unbecoming for the Vice President of the United States to be "chattering about great
