A NEW CHRISTMAS HUKKY CALL. With Christmas coming three week from tomorrow, today is the beat rouble tim to accent the fact that the mailing or expressing of presents .-xily will be this year a most important sequence to shopping early. Under the national direction, war is doing many things to the luilroads of the country. It js doing Thepe things in an orderly and effective fashion. Hut those who carry out ihe new plans do so. as the nw directions contemplate, with an eye first to the national benefit. The individual interest will necessarily be. for the time, subordinated to that of the country. Mail schedule will be affected by reductions in "rain schedules. The .?me causes will work upon the express service. In yesterday's news was expressed the feeling in official railway circles and elsewhere that the people generally should help to relieve the situation, as regards the transportation cf supplies by freight, by refraining from travel for idle purpose. A current treat swelling of the volume of passenger traffic is. under existing circumstances, looked upon with disfavor. All these hings being so, a special promptness in the business of getting holiday packages away becomes a matter of public duty. But if there are any who cannot see it in that Tght. making a little haste will be"a step in persona! prudence.

THE LESSON OF GARY. In one way or another Gary. Ind., is known throughout the entire nation whether it be for its school system, its steel mills, or on account of Mayor Johnson. .But just at present Gary is accumulating a bit of additional notoriety it is in the class f a half dozen munitions booming towns that are much in the public eye. There is Wilmington, Del., Chester. Pa., Bridgeport, Conn., for instance. 1 And Gary has so many folks within its environs that the town is sore put to house them. around Gary there is plenty of vacant land also IN Gary. Folks passing through Gary on the New York Central and the B. A. O. notice more vacant lots than houses even in the downtown section within a stone's throw of the joint station of these roads. But when somebody puts up a new building in Gary he is taxed for it taxed good and hard. If he lets his land lie idle, awaiting for the community to manufacture its increased value, he is not taxed much at all. Consequently in spite of the tremendous demand for new houses, landowners in Gary -still put more faith in land speculation than in building homesThe editorial in the Laporte Herald seems to follow an article in the Ground Hog, which stated that in discussing war profits the fault is that we Uave out ihe greatest profiteer of all landlords who profit in war boom towns. i .As the Laporte paper says, one notices while passing through Gary that there is much vacant "land, especially near ihe union station of the New York Central and Baltimore & Ohio lines. Now- the people of Gary do not o'n this vacant land. It. is ow-ned by (he Gary Land company, ownor of hundreds of dwellings, the greatest landlord in Indiana, which is a subsidiary of the steel trust. The sleel trust and its land department acquired Jt.ono acres of land in Gary and possess all of the lake front of seven miles, but two acres- Gary people hy Wall street's orders rave no access to their water front, and as for the property around the union station, it constitutes that part ot' the business site monopoly, which the land department of ihe tteel trust controls. There are many conditions esisting in Gary wtyoh the people of the town get blamed for and unjustly.

0 The Herald has a confession to make. It finds it impossible lo take much stock in the advice of these high-priced "experts'" who are continually telling
people how to "conserve" food supplies af so much per tell. For instance.
we just can t nelp dquoiing the practicability or advice from a man in Washington who draws big pay and lives at a JlO-a-day hotel to a man we know in Nevada. Mo., despite the fact that the Washington man has $152,000,000 at bis disposal for "administering" the foodies food law and another $14,000,000 for making a food "survey," whatever that is. We confess to a feeling that this $ 1 GCtniO.noO would be mighty apt o do more good if food were nought outright with it and "administered" to the families which are really hard pressed to get along. In round figures there are 20.0t'0,f00 families in the country. Probably not so many actually-are or' will be needy this winter, but for argument's sake sayone-flfth of them, or 4,000.000. could use assistance to advantage. The money congress has appropriated for our food dopesters to blow in would give each of these families $40 worth of groceries, clothing and fuel if spent
direct. And where is the bonehead who does not know that more, a thousanoVv
times more, good would result from that than in spending the money giving people advice on how to save advice from fellows who know nothing about saving an'd skimping along, because they live at steam heated hotels and pay $n0" a month for it Nevada (Mo.) Herald.

WHAT IT MAY COME TO. i . In a public speech made last week Vice President Marshall advocated; confiscating Hie property of disloyalists and pro-German sympathizers and I their internment until -after the war. The vice president's suggestion is a j good one and it may be that the rni'ed States government will find that the; only way to deal with this element is internment and confiscation. It seem? to be impossible for these people to eet it in their heads that this is the United States' war now ; that Germany is an enemy of this country; that American j boys are being shot dovn, gassed and poisoned in Flanders. These pro-1
Germans who want to see Germany win. who attack those fighting America's battles, should cet short shriit and we predict that if they don't get it now they will get it six months hence.

What the Bell System Is Doing
I
"VHE useful activity of the weather-beaten light-keepers and coast-guards depends not alone on courage and hardihood. They must
have quick access to one another and to the others back from the shore. This ability of communication is doubly important in time of war. To insure prompt and reliable means whereby the sentries of our coasts may talk and be talked to, the Bell System has made plans for providing telephone connections at about one hundred lightnouses and two hundred coast-guard stations, involving the laying of about three hundred miles of submarine cable, the construction of over six hundred fifty miles of pole line, and the stringing of over twelve hundred miles of wire. About one million dollars will be expended. This liberal expenditure is in the interest of National Defense, the objective for which all Americans are now striving.
