OVERLOOKED INTERURBAN OPPORTUNITIES. Several Chicago interurban lines are profitably advertising points of interest that may bo visited near the city. They do not cease their advertising when the summer ends. Their activity calls attention to the overlooked opportunities of local lines. The South Shore system, particularly, might increase Its Income. It goes through a wonderful country the Northern Indiana sand dunes. An advertising campaign in in newspapers, featuring the beauty of the dunes at this time of the year, would well repay the company. It also has a lot of other points of interest. The Gary and Interurban falls down in not calling attention to the scenic country its line passes through. Where In Indiana is there a more charming spot than the vales of Porter county? And look at the other towns It might draw interurban tourists to Gary wlfh its mills, Valparaiso the college town, the wonderful industrial centers of Hammond, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and LaPorte. Then there's the pretty country the Gary and Southern' Traction line traverses, the journey ending in Crown Point, the town charming, the Gretna Green of the middle west, and a typical Indiana county seat. Indeed, our interurban lines are overlooking some good opportunities to build up a splendid tourist business. ,

FORM LOAN LAW. A reader asks the important features in the new farm law, and they are a3 follows: Ten farmers or more may form a loan association. Every man who wants to borrow joins the association. Preliminary organizations may be made now, but loans will not be granted till federal land banks are organized. W. W. Flannigan, Washington, D. C, is secretary of the farm loan board. Write him for "Circular No. 2." Pay no money to traveling organizers who profess to represent the government. No money should be collected or paid for stock or expense until the association is chartered. Eeach local association should ask for loans totaling $20,000 or more. Loans will be made in any sum from $100 to $10,000 not exceeding half the appraised value of the land. Have your organization ready to apply for a character as soon as the federal land bank in your district is organized. Six per cent will be the maximum interest rate. It is hoped the rate will be les3 than that, perhaps as low as 4 per cent. Loans are made only on first mortgages. Mortgages will run not less than five years, nor more than forty years. Farm Life.

SAVE PART OF WHAT YOU EARN. Fred Is a Chicago boy who started out as a barber shop cashier at $7 a week, later served as a mail carrier for several years, and Is now worth upwards of a quarter of a million from having invested his savings in good real estate. From the start Fred saved part of his wages. After three years in the barber shop he had $200 in the bank. Then he started a carpentering business. Before he was 21 he had 12 men working for him. Finally he sold the business for $4,000, which he put into the bank. He passed the civil service examination and became a letter carrier in the northwest section of Chicago. He kept his eyes open for good real estate "buys." He made $1,000 profit on a house he built on the first, lot he bought. A3 his capital increased he began to deal in larger blocks of vacant property. Almost always his experience ag a mall carrier helped him to buy in the right place. Presently the increasing burdens of this business made it necessary for him to resign his government job. In the last fifteen or twenty years he has built and sold more than 400 houses in the same northwest corner of the city. He is a director in one of the local banks. He is worth about $250,000. His recipe for success is an old and simple one. Sav part of what you earn. Keep your eyes and your ears open for the opportunities which lie all around you. Play the game squarely.

Vhere once was a beautiful countryside, with tidy homes, freen fields and pleasant grove3, there is now to be seen on the Somme battlefield only desolation and war's ruin. In the picture may be seen the ruined trunks of trees, ail that remains of the vegetation that was not leveled by allied and German guns. Here and there a dugout is visible. In the distance the Somme river is seen, a thin silver thread.

If one Is to jndge hy the skirts Keen In the smart New York shops there is a rery strong tendency toward the panel

front, and often it is made prominent by being formed of contrasting goods. The model illustrated is in six gores, designed according to the latest fashion notes. It is an excellent model for either one or two materials. At back below n yoke that is simulated, the plaited effect is a noteworthy development; at front th button decoration adds to the yoke effect and below it the front gore, which may be of separate material, prominently marks the panel this is the distiactifa feature of the garment. Those who make over their clothes will find this a most desirable model for using goods left over from another season or transforming a skirt o different design. One may have something "striking'' on really dignified lines by developing thia in sprge and satin, silk and velvet 01 similar combination. The skirt pattern, No. 8.027, cuts in sizes 24-32 waist. To make in sUe 24 requires 3ai yards 44 inch material," witb 1 14 yards 22 inch silk for panel front; or 4 yards of all one material.

A LAKE FRONT PARK? There is some talk that the American Sheet and Tin Plate company or the steel corporation will allow 15 or 20 acres on Gary's lake front to be used for park purposes. It is to be hoped the report is true. Gary has seven miles of lake frontage from which its people are barred. It is a source if irritation to the residents that they are barred from the lak-, and never was it more manifest than during the terrible heat wave last summer. Some day It may be a factor of industrial unrest. No better display of corporate broad mlndedness could be had than a decision by the Pittsburg o'ficials to repair in part the loss of Gary's birthright access to the lake.
