Big crops and prices are the romance of the holiday travel this year on "home visitors" rates, for those who return to their old homes from the cheap land districts breeze into the railway stations of the big centers all dolled up with smiles and fur-lined coats. Even the bajrgaee advertises prosperity; the railroads are taxed to furnish dining1 and sleeping cars for the folks who are sroinR de luxe to family reunions to iaujfh over the trips out a few years ago in day coaches with a lunch box for the family commissary. At the Chicago stations the red caps shared in good fortune and the prodigals told some stories of real life which were stranger than fiction. There was the one of Joseph Grundler who, thirty years ago, was a renter in Livingstone county, Illi- : t-

nois, and now is overlord of 3,0d0 acres. It was Grundler who "staked" Amos Ribory, and now Amos owns 9G0 acres in the same neighborhood in Manitoba. Another neighbor from near Odell, in Illinois, owed over $4,000 in the fall of 1913. but now has "cleaned up" $10,000. From east, west, north and south the holiday travelers, taking a respite from farm life, are pouring through the gates of the big star tions. They and not the parties of mourners give the key to the spirit of the throngs; prosperity and lots of it is giving a jovial, infectious air to the waiting rooms; city dwellers who are fighting with the high cost of living have twinges of longing for a life which brings back home such abounding reason for thanksgiving all through the holiday season.

Hi GIRL OF 14 TOILING AT GARY

WISH TUB TO SUPPORT SI

V Pastime Today A ROBERT WARWICK

While prosperity is rampant in Gary and money is beinj sjient like water, there are some who are in destitute circumstances. Yesterday Capt. Thomas Noble, commanding the Gary corps of the Salvation army, entered a south side shack and found sad conditions there. A woman, widow, was sick in bed. and her five children were without food. The eldest child, girl of 14. has been doing heavy washings, takins her mother's place at the washtub while she is ill. An appeal was niada for coal for the family, but the army funds are low and none could be given to the widow. Any one wishing to aid the family may communicate with Capt. Xoble at 1349 Delaware street, Gary. Flans Xmas Dlnneri. Thb Times today received the following letter from Capt. Noble:

"Can yeu imagine a little two-room shack that a widow and five children call home? The mother by taking in washings has kept the wolf from entering the door, but now ehe Is sict in bed and the eldest child is doing the best she can to help care for her mother and do some of the washings to keep things going. There is another case of a different type, where the father, mother, grandmother and eight children depend upon the wages of a laborer to support them arid pay off the indebtedness incurred by sickness, but it is a hard matter to exist, even though the man of the house works every day. Surely these are most worthy cases and we have a long list of such. How many of these will we be able to bring Christmas cheer to? It will depend upon the contributions given by the more fortunate citizens.
