FIRST, before we forget it, don't you forget the Liberty Loaa.

IXDEPEN'DEXT voters of Gary hold their convention tonight at Turner hall. Fourteenth avenue and Washington street. Be there.

GARY is full of indecent people The Holy Silk-Stocking Post ays no can be decent and support Mayor Johnson.

G.AJM ulvanced from the second to the fourth class, fire insurance rates ..'ere reduced, new parks were secured, the Gary school system -was copk-d in New York, new improvements were undertaken, taxes were reduced. Of course, Mayor Johnson 13 entitled to another term. GARY was asked to give $640,000 to the last Liberty loan. -It gave over a million. Gary will not be behind in the second loan.

WITH hardly any increase in size of the police force, that department, under Mayor Johnson's administration, is policing a city that has increased trom 00,000 to 60,000 during his term of office.

THERE is something morally wrong with mtnds that are continually calling other people crooks, that are getting up "reform" meeting and that are denouncing as indecent all persons who do not agree with them.

"THE Kind of Mayor Gary Needs," is what the Gary Tritmne is taking about. Well, the kind of mayor that Gary needs as far as the "VViUl street crowd is concerned, is a nice, obedient mayor who will take curlers and who would be allowed to acquire a Broadway lot every now and then.

THE police records show that a skeleton was found in Fifth avenue. Maybe it was the platform of Mayoralty Candidate Hodges that was recalled the other day. Alas, poor Yorrick!

DYS EAGER TO GO TO

More Than Needed Storm

Chairman J. A. Brenjan.

CONSIDERING some of the opponents Qiat Mayor Johnson has it is something to be proud of. First, there was Wall street's "civic service commission," then the pious gang shouting for gcand jury indictments, and when both of these failed then came the "committee of fifteen," organized end packed with men who are "getting theirs" either directly from Wall stfeet or from which it is contracting through.

WHEN strangers come to Gary you tell lhem that we have seven miles of lake frontage Lake Michigan beach bet it's r.o easy task to explain to them why the people are barred from the lake fcont, why dividends supersede the city's birthright, and why piles of coal and stone, that could be kept elsewhere, are located where men, women and children might go cn a hot summer day. Chicago is constantly adding to its bathing beacihs. Our neighboring cities of Miller, Hammond, Whiting ami East Chicago use their bathing beaches. But the directors sitting around the mahogany table a thousand miles away deprive the people of Gary of their lake front. What would Cincinnatians say if they were barred fijorn seeing or using he Ohio river, or what would Atlantic City people say if they could not see or use the ocean? No wonder Wall street wanted, to control the Gary park board. A vote for Mayor Johnson means at least; a strip of Gary lake frontage for a bathing beach for you and yours, Mr. and Mrs. Gary Citizen.

IF the city is successful in compelling the Gary, Heat, Light and Water company of the steel trust, to reduce its water rates- water in Gary costs lour times as much as it does in Chicago the residants of the south side. Ridge road and Tolleston will be able to afford law-s. When Wall street ifn't so greedy, Gary workmen and their wives and children may have green trrass and flowers.

Crown Point Mews

Hjppcnings of a Day in Lake County's Lively Capital

Mrs. Herbert Erickson, one of the county organizers of the Libert Loan, was in Crown Point on Monday and Tuesday in the Interest of that work. Mr. Jos. T. Lyons, president of the Southwestern Supply Co. of Little Rock, Arkansas, was doing business at. the Lctz Mfg. Co. on Tuesday. The above

is a western Jobbing conrtecyon for the Letz Co. Dr. A. H. Farley has neturned from a business trip to Chicago. The first meeting of the Hazard Club was held on Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. K. R. Colo. The prizes were won by Mrs. Min Rockwell and

Gary h.- more than ehown her pfl trtmism in the .ast. but yesterday afternoon she broAe all records when exooutive officer j. A. Brennan of exemption board y0. 1 called for 35 recruits and there were fully as many more present an?, all eager to go. "Pluv!- exclaimed Mr. Brennan, half out ot, lreath and as he wiped the Persperytion from his brow. "It is a rare co:urrance to be embarrassed with mor. recruits than you need, usually you do not have the required number pre w-nt. Well, isn't there some possible way we can. go" spoko up one young man and a, dozen others joined in the chorus. We quit our jobs, left our boarding houses expecting to go tomorrow morning and now we are in a fine fix. Isn't there some way to fix It up?" Mr. Ereninn scratched his head as each one fired some question at him. After some thought he promised them that he would wire tho war department and see if the quota couldn't be raised to 40 or 50 men. asking them to appear Thursday afternoon when , he would know something definite. The appearance of the unusual large number of recruits is due partially to the fact that the war department asked for 4g per cent of those eligible on the third call and later the war headquarters reduced the call to 20 per cent. There were in the neighborhood of 65 or 70 recruits that had received red cards from the local board present. The quota of men are now having their teeth examined by the Gary Dental Society at the "Y." They leave on a special train leaving Gary for Camp Taylor early Friday morning.

GO into any Columbia Grafonola store, take a comfortable chair, and look through a Columbia Record Catalog. Select the kind of music you and your family like pick out as many pieces as you want. Hand the salesman the program of your concert. You will then be conducted to a Columbia Grafonola where you can enjoy your concert in comfort. In most Columbia Grafonola stores small rooms are provided to add privacy to the element of ease. If you desire, the salesman will play the records for you. But as the Columbia has no complicated parts, and can be played by any one after a very short explanation, we believe you will be better satisfied if you play it yourself.

TME PILJYB2MIL (FROM THE TIMES' OWN IKDUHAPCUS BUREAU)

T.MIES Bl'HEAU rtT Si'ATE CAPITAL. IXDIANAPOL19. Oct. 3 Although Henry A. Roberts is out of a job as state sattistieian because his office has bn abolished, he still continues to hold forth at th state house and he says he will remain there until something is done besides what the law did to him. When the legislature last winter passed the general appropriations bill, carrying appropriations

for the support and maintentnee of i the various state offices, institutions

and departments. a few lines were Flipped In the bill which abolished th offics and no appropriation was

J made to carry on the office beyond . September 30.

Of course. Roberts cannot afford to conduct the office without pay. He said at the time the law was passed

i s.nd it was generally undersized that ! Governor Goodrich had a plan in mind

by which he wouid Uilie care i f ti.iirts with another position for the remainder of his term, but Governor Goodrich is seriously pick and nothing has been done to look pfter Roberts. His salary as state statistician was $3,000 a year, and the p!an as it was understood was to give Roberts a place in some other department at the same salary. But nobody seems to know w.hera It will be.

T, is mue i iv ir.v

he Is placed in through the v,-;r:r,s out of his office, II added strt n-:h to the republican ticket last fa!!, largely because of the fact that !. was a traveling: laan ar.d the tru s sing men of the state lined up and voted for him. Although the sta: statistician's, office nsver ha3 been worth a nickel to the state, licberts, it is pointed out, made the race in good faith and spent his time and money and should be recosjnizf-d in some way, It is understood that some plan will be worked out to keep t;,e stat-s free Vmployinent asjr-noi'-s n South P.. :id, Kort W ayne, Evan."v;!ia and T r.-; Haute, as well us the ore in this .;ty, ijoinsr. They are a part of the it-.i'i : tafistician's office, but they have been so vali;h! la finding e rr! ment for thousands of men that it seems to be the belief that they s-'io-.rd be continued. Just li-'w tl.rs is'f.. bp done, however, remains to be -.vo.k.-.l ou t.
