There was no news in the story whatever, except that the cities named v-ere in Chicago. Plants in a'l of them have been making munitions for years, but of course, as is well known to readers of this pa;)er. they are pitparing to go into the manufacture of war stuff on a gigantic scale Hitherto for the Chicago newspapers the Calumet region in Indiana has been a sort of a second Hades, a jumping off place, a territory where blase Chicago city editors send their disgusted reporters to run up bi? expense Mils in running down Chicago bandit3 and gunmen. The Chicago newspapers out of pure civic fear and jealousy never admitted that the Calumet district was to be the greatest manufacturing district in the world, but they, pinching themselves to find if they are really awake, have finally discovered to the south end of them the" Cyclopean forges and blast furnaces of the Calumet district. However, it is perhaps tit for tat. We are so busy don here that we eldom consider Chicago more than a town founded by Indians and still full of them.

CHRISTMAS, 1917. 4 Xow that it has taken its place with the 1916 other Christmases of the long past, that of 1917 will stand out pre-eminently above most others as far aa those living in the world at this time are concerned. It was marked by the capture of Bethlehem by Christian troops, ousting from the place of the nativity the Turks who had ruled there for centuries; expectations and hopes for world peace, and for this country is represented its first Christmas in the world war. Other Christmases in the near and distant future may be more significant, more portentous, yet that of 1917 as time goes on will not wholly be dimmed by the mists that attend memory when we try to bring before us in their chronological array all the Christmases we have known since the first recollections of childhood. In a year, two years or ten j-ears, we shall regard this Christmas just past more vividly than we do now.

FOB WINTER EVENINGS. The Minneapolis Journal tells us that during the long winter evenings one may find enjoyment in books, truthfully declaring that in their pages one, may

across situations that rival the most thrilling presentations of the movie'

screen. The Northwestern friend urges the taking in hand of Boswell's Life of

Johnson, read in connection with Madame 'd Arbly's diary, and thereby entirely recreating life of the latter half of the eighteenth century. It suggests a etep further backward., the reading of Pepy'ss diary. The Journal's recommendations are very good, and an far as books are concerned they offer a varied and a myriad range of entertainment. Each is a ship; reaCy to carry us back to other times, to other places, to meet with fair characters. Any of thera will let us into other centuries than our own, enrich our lives immensely. But perhaps even greater enjoyment might be had by a revival of the old custom of reading out loud to the family. As for our part we suggest the quaint and humorous life of Oliver Goldsmith by Irving, Journeying through the vales and highlands of Scotland via Scott's novels; and without getting into the realm of higtbrowism one may get enjoyment from the pertinent

It is notable that the plana for the rebuilding of French cities in the war zones call for aeroways at specified centers. This is because France is looking ahead to the day when the airship will be the vehicle of commerce, freight as well as .passenger traffic. We propose to have a fleet of over 22,000 airships to defeat the kaiser, and of course many times that number of flyers and mchanics. When the war ends it will present a-problem as to what will be done with the greater number of these young men and already shrewd minds are at wirk to turn

the air fleers of the nation into the nucleus of units in commercial air traffic. Without doubt it will be found that the war was the greatest stimulus aerial navigation, and five or six years from now when aerial lanes, traversed by transcontinental passenger liners, are speeding overhead we can look back to these days as the incentive that brought about the development of the new mode of travel.

AMERICA WAKES UP. We are spending on airplanes and air service a sum greater than England's pre-war budget for military, naval and civil service combined. It makes the British feel that we're in earnest. But making the Germans feel anything will be a matter of bombing. Indiana Daily Times.

my own time I spent several weeks circulating a petition for another sanitary district election, acting as consulting engineer for the Lake County Trades and Labor assembly. This petition was duly filled, but has never yet been acted upon as required by law. If the politicians, who opposed it. have sincerely experienced a change of heart, they can get immediate actlcn by taking the petition from its pigeon hole at Crown Point and calling a sanitary district election at once. It will not be the first time that obstructionists, to save their face, have abused he father of a necessary project as an excuse for performing it. HENRY W. LEE.

Why Walk On A Little 'Fellow?

Your article from Indianapolis on

broad Monday 'evening 'shows very clearly that then man who wrote is is either very poor at figuring or very unjust to the retailer. He blames the retailer for selling the one pound loaf of bread for more than eight cents, and the wrapped loaf for more than eight and one-half cents. He freely allows the, baker a profit of one cent a loaf ani pays him one-half cent a loaf to wrap It. Now remember that the baker delivers us the bread in large quantities and under the new ruling takes back no stale. Why not let the retailer have ii half cent a loaf If he wraps the bread? He doesn't get his paper and string for ncthing. Further the bakers are charging us eleven cents for a pound and a half loaf of bread either wrapped or unwrapped. Why? If one pound of bread costs the retailer 7 cents l'-4 pounds it should cost not to exceed 10c because the labor cost cn the large loaf Is practically the same as on the small. Do not misconstrue the meaning of
