The Other Night CA man phoned to THE TITLES, and he wanted to know where he could buy five gallons of a certain kind of transmission oil advertised extensively in the magazines. We Could Not Tell Him! CWell," he said, "I guess I'll have to stick to ' V' naming another brand of transmission oil, "But I believe this oil' is good stuff, but where in

hell can I get it?" The Point Is This; CHere is a national commodity. It is sold everywhere hereabouts. It is advertised in all the magazines, and there are people who own cars who don't buy a magazine a month. Yet the people who have it for sale: the shopkeepers won't advertise it. CfHow is the man who wants it to know where to purchase it? CjfAnd it's the same way with a hundred other lines of magazine advertising.

THE TIMES

NATIONAL ARMY SOLDIERS OF MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN ARE GATHERING AT CAMP CUSTER

VN-

Camp Custer men getting their first "setting-up" exercises (above) and waiting to be card-indexed and assigned to their regiments. The national army soldiers from Michigan and Wisconsin who are now in training at Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Mich., are not yet outfitted with uniforms and rifles, but they are getting well lo:ig with their drilling- none the less. Though the time for the next increment's arrival has been postponed from Oct. 3 to Oct. 15. it will be Nov. 1 before the camp is completed, and this will require "full speed ahead." The 800 men who arrived at the camo early in September still have no blouses, overcoats, etc., whi!e there have been no issues of rifles, and there will be none for some time. The men who come lane in October will have to undergo the same delays, as it takes a Tonjr time to examine 15,000 to 20,000 men and get them equipped. During tne past few days 800 slackers have been brought into camp under armed guard. The camp is still more than 400 men shy of the number supposed to be at this cantonment.

MAC OUT East Chicago's Republican Mayoralty Candidate Opens Up Race for Honor Republicans Have Strong Organization. Leo MaCormack, better, known as "Mac", republican candidate for mayor of East Chicago and who in a popularity contest would get Lnder the wire an easy winner, has opened up his campaign and next Monday will begin operations on an enthusiastic scale. That East Chicago is due to go republican in November by a big majority is m the air. but Mr. McCormack proposes to leave no stone unturned to head the ticket with the biggest majority ever given a candidate in East Chicago. When asked by a Times representative this morning what his platform was. he faid: "Well, Its splendid enough, big enough snd strong enough, my platform In just this East Chicago, the best there is for her. "Broadlay, that's tny platform, specifically you ahatl have ths planks next week." Leo McCormlck came to East Chicago. Oct. 20. 19QI. Pour years with the Emyln. 4 years with the Interstate, a year as patrolman under E. DeBrla. four as thief of police under Dr. A. G. Schlieker, and his service under Mayor Callahan, la a record that has brought the genial Mac into contact with almost everybody in the Twin Cities. With him as a leader the republicans of East Chicago are preparing to make things hum for the next five weeks. With the completion of the list of precinct committeemen, the election of a campaign committee, a program committee and a publicity committee and the opening of headquarters in each end of the city, the republicans of East Chicago feel that the final word has been said in matters of preliminary organi zation and that they are ready to open the city campaign along aggressive lines. The campaign committee consists of the following men. ell of whom are men prominent in public life with reputations for executive ability and for clean. energetic and rrodietive methods: Dr. j K. P. Hale, chairman: M. E. Critee. secretary; Jesse S. Dewey, treasurer; T. P. Roberta. Abe Ottenhelmer. H. K. Groves, J. K. Reppa. Jacob Schurman. Sam Wechsler snd Gabriel Sasse. These men will also act as the program committee for the campxign and will put on a whirlwind schedule of public meetings to be addressed not only by local talent snd candidates but by some of the best speakers in this region. The program in detail has not beer, completed but Dr. Haie says that there will be something definite, along this line within the next few days. The publicity committee consists of Abe Ottenheimer, J. K. Rerpa and M. E. Crites. Headquarters have opened in the R.i ji'l.netz building. Chicago aenue. and in a building nar tho Mohawk hotel on Michitun Bifinio in Indiana Harbor In speaking f the i:-sue; of the rampa ign. the chairman said this morning that fate seemed to have cast the issues somewhat along party lines for the first time in the history of the city, that the republicans were going to stand as a body not only for tho election of its candidate In whom all had great confidence but for the sake of the organization in which all East Chicago republicans took great pride. The doctor said further Hint it would be the aim of lie executive committee ito put on one T the cleanest, tmrfci. most open and above board campaigns in the history of the city: that while the results even now were beyond th realm of probability and rapidly centering in certainty, yet the rarty which he represented would put up the strongest fight possible snd roll up a majority that would forever put to rest the question of party predominance in East Chicago. "It will no-, be long now." said he, 'until the red fire w;ll begin to burn. Enthusiasm is beginning to insist upon 'something doing", and our workers are beginning to clamor for action. AH of

the old rarty leaders will soon be in the harness along aide a number of new young-bloods who seem ambitious to do something for "Mac", the popular candidate."

HSPH CASE OVER The federal rase before C. E. Surprise at Hammond yesterday wherein several Indiana Harbor Serbians were being examined for seditious conspiracy against the herbian commission who recently! , tried to hold a pu'i'ic meeting in In diana Harbor, war- not completed owing to a lack of definite eidenre to sustain the statement that trieso s-rie trum were practicing their tactics when the commission was in Detroit. Headquarters of tho federal government a: Chicago are intr rested in this hearing and will send, a special agent to I t troii lo look up e!dence there against those men. Meanwhile the ailegtd conspirators are held under bonds of $10,000 each and the case is continued until Oct. 17. 'Special to Thb Times.) INDIANAPOLIS. IND.. Sept. 29. Indiana farmers have demonstrated their patriotism in many ways, and may be depended upon each to do his share of the increased planting of wheat, as requested by the national and state food directors. Reports from county agents, millers, grain dealers and leading agriculturalists make It rraetically certain that Indiana will go beyond the mark of 2.800.000 acres wanted for 1515. With a yield equal to this year's, the increase in crop will exceed the To per cent estimated as Indiana's shave of the hundred million bushels necessary for export, if Cncle Sam is to sustain his fighting men. our allies' armies and the civilian population of the warring powers who are with us in cur fight cn the Kaiser. Within two more weeks it is believed the seed for the greatest wheat crop the state has ever attempted, will all be in the ground. For th? most part weather conditions liae been very favorable for the sowing. Seed of a superior quality has been available and primary conditions have been almost all that could have been asked.
