CONGRATULATIONS TO SOUTH BEND. - South Bend dedicated a beautiful new country club on Thanksgiving, and Hammond, rhose beautiful country club Is five years old extends congratulations. South Bend will 'never regret the Investment and. her citizens -Rill find it a gold mine as an advertising proposition, since the day when the Hammond Country club was host to the Indiana Society of Chicago and amazed the blase frequenters of Peacock Alley and the Gold Room with the variety of their entertainment, the country club hag been a manifest, asset to the Calumet region in so many ways that it couldn't be dispensed with. South Bend's club is of course a more elaborate proposition than Hammond's and its golf course is more wonderful. We never heard of a like golf course. In describing it the South Bend Tribune says: "In playing the second .shot, th e player will hav to contend with lias of all descriptions. He may b e forced to play a long; brassi second or shoot carefully down hillsides. Again he may be required to pitch a chip shot for nearly 200 yards and still have, ft drop 'like a DOArheif err en ti. frn

When they have 200-yard chip shots we want to be where we can stand

enthusiast says: "When the novice, plays No. H he will do well to attach a bobber to hia ball for there is no way of reaching: the green 526 yards from the tea but by carrying; the lake, a distance of 75 yards." This nrust be the very pinnacla of golf: To shoot 526 yards and carry a lake for 75, and we suppose there are lots of m at South Bend who do it in one or at least two. We don't believe even Ben Walters can negotiate that hole.

NIT WITS SPOIL SANTA CLAUS LETTERS. This paper regrets very much on behalf of its little friends that it has been compelled to give up its annual practice of printing letters to Santa Claus, not because it finds them no longer desirable, but for the simple reason that Smart Alecs of both sexes who are deficient from the neck up have imposed upon this paper so much that it is impossible to tell the fakes from the genuine. For instance, we will be sent through the mails a letter to Santa Claus, asking that a pair of red boots, a toy dog and some candy be -sent to some address for Jimmy Hilan or some such name. The letter will be printed in -good faith and it will develop that Jimmy Hilan is old enough to vote. Or perhaps a letter will be printed asking that a doll be sent to little Jenny Johnson. After the letter appears in print, it is shown that Jenny is sora smart stenographer. As THE TIMES in the course of the month of December would receive thousands of letters from all parts of the country it wa3 manifestly impossible to personally investigate each case, and in consequence the paper was always being Imposed upon. Two fake letters were received on Saturday, and as we know those who wroje them will look for them in print they will herewith see that they are not half as cute as they think they are. Nitwits always spoil pleasure for some one in this world and we are exceedingly sorry that it should be little children and their estimable fathers and mothers to whom Santa Claus is as sacred as Holy Writ.

IT CAN'T BE DONE.

Election dope Is about as savory at present as a last year's bird's nest. We promised otrrselTes to say as little about election results as is absolutely necessary. - There is one thing more, however. We have noticed in a number of supposedly republican papers talk of Hiram Johnson of California, as a republican candidate for president in 1920. When you arise and tell us how Johnscm, a republican candidate for governor, happened to have a plurality of 269,817 in a state that gave Wilson 3,773 more votes than Hughes, the republican candidate for president obtained, in other words, getting nearly two hundred and seventy-five thousand more votes than Mr. Hughes, we will cease thinking that California is the home of skullduggery.

IT'S UP TO YOU KRUYER!

After the recent election Mr. Peter J. Kruyer, collector of internal revenue for the Indianapolis district, promptly sent this message to Mr. Wilson: "The people of Indiana indorse your administration. Only corrupt election returns oppose it." Mr. Kruyer spoke as one with knowledge. It would not be seemly for a roan in his position to dat,h off a dispatch of that kind to the head of his party without a basis more substantial than his own disappointment. He must have had some definite information about wicked republican transactions, says the Indianapolis Star. How he became aware of this alleged crookedness so swiftly and before a suspicion or hint of ft had reached the public or in fact any other official, so far as is known, is an Interesting mystery that only he can disclose. Indeed, there had been a general agreement among citizens of both parties that so clean an election had not been known in Indiana in years. As disclosures in the federal court have since shown, some strange performances were perpetrated by members of Mr. Kruyer's party in connection with the registration of voters, but even to this day a curious public has not learned anything about those corrupt election returns that the collector so glibly told Mr. Wilson sbout. Mr. Kruyer owes it ta himself, to the public and to Mr. Wilson to tell what be knows. The president will naturally Jook to him a man whom he has

Mr. Wilson does not need Indiana's vote, but, like Mr.-Kruyer, he is of course interested in honest elections. A lot of Indiana democrats are now in jail because of election crookedness and if republicans have been up to the same trick he would, of course, like to know it, sad as the truth might make him. , The federal grand jury is now in session. It is Mr. Kruyer's opportunity. If he knows that republicans have stolen the state, it is up to him .to unfold the full particulars. The public looks to Kruyer. Indeed, we all look to Kruyer to make good. If President Wilson is the man we believe him to be, he will either insist on Kruyer making good or fire him from office. . If Kruyer thinks he can curry favor with Wilson by throwing him this sop, we miss our guess. Let's have the truth. '

LADIES' IJASQUE WAIST. By Anabel Worthington.

In waists an3 Houses the range of models is not confined to the limits tionof a few designs, even if it is fall, for the separate waist is just as popular as it was in the summer. In the illustration is shown a very fetching waist on the basque order, buttoned at back. While its chief charm lies in the simplicity of treatment, there art features that compel attention a well cut collar, novel sleeve, with a puff fulness just below the elbow; in a stylish and an interesting manner the sleeve creates its own cuff. Then the strap girdle buttoning to the aide fronts is effective. The tucked yoke sewed to the upper part of the front may be of net, lace or the waist material. The weaves for all garments are simply irresistible this season, so that one has no trouble in choosiDg an appropriate fabric. Flowered silk, satin, crepe, &c, are very popular, and tbe experience to be gained by copying tbe model from the pattern will prove profitable. The waist pattern.

nsy" Lines Mean Lost Orders

IF a merchant finds that customers leave his store without buying because his clerks are too busy to wait on them he gets more clerks. If customers complain frequently that they cannot get his store by telephone because "the line is. always busy' he

needs more telephones. Ordinary business judgment demands that customers shall be able to telephone to his store without annoying delays, for busy lines mean loss of profitable business and dissatisfied customers.
