PATRIOTISM RAMPANT. The astonishing and magnificent Liberty hall reared from sun-up to sundown last Saturday in Hammond and consecrated to the everlasting belief of a free people in the precious and God-given cause of liberty now and forever, is a tribute in 'the concrete to their patriotism and a manifestation of their Americanism. We scorn to belittle that splendid patriotism by attempting to specify individual credit. From the enthusiastic little Boy Scouts up through the tireless union craftsmen to the brainy men whose vision made It possible there is honor and credit due galore. It is a personal triumph for those who were told that it could not be done; for those who engineered and outlined it; for those who collected the dollars to pay for it: for those who wielded hammer and saw and paintbrush and dozens of other weapons of industry. It is a standing refouke to those who scoffed at it: who sneered at it; who opposed it, and those who tried in , their petty, puny fashion to set stumbling blocks in its way. It is the bst Lit of advertising that Hammond ever did. It .is worth more to the city than the location of some big industrial institution. The three international news-camera concerns that will tell its story in pictures exhibit in Europe, and there Is no question but what Hammond boys in the trenches over there will be inspirited by seeing the pictures of a home town movement. The building of the temple dedicated to war purroses is a civic triumph. The spirit displayed 'during its construction was really beyond expression in words. It filled men's hearts, and lightened the windows of men's souls; it has knit the people of Hammond together In a bond of unity. It has made them mora than ever deferruined that the German abroad and the pro-German --rr- Krt to be licked to a standstill. The success of the - i ' Liberty loan r.s far as Harnnrd is concerned is : .ivd as is the next Red Cress drive anJ the fourth LAurty loan and fifth, "It there need be one. No other city need be ashamed of following Hammotd's triple and none need be jealous of its consciousness of a deed well done.

THE DUTY OF AMERICANS. The Mansfield (O.) Shield hits the bullseye when it says that there are many people who say things just to be contrary. There are those who make remarks trb-ich the do Dot believe Just for the sake of an argumenL However, in these stern days, people who make unpatriotic remarks are treading on very danger-o-js sp-ennd. Thpy are making enemies axid their patriotism is Questioned. The present great drive has crystallized the sentiment of tha American people on the winning of the war. They realize more than ever the necessity of winning and they know the road to victory is a long one, beset by many difficulties. Liberty Is worth dying for. It is worth fighting for and it is worth making tremendous sacrifices for. The United States wiU win the war. It cannot fail now. The man who doesn't co-operate and show l.ia loyalty by thought and deed will find that he won't have much standing among his fellowmen. When it is a'.l over and the accusing finger is pointed at him as one who failed his country he will wish a thousand t:ms over that he had done his part but it will be too late.

FOOD ATROCITIES.

Much has been written about the German atrocities, ""'ueb. more probably will be written before the war l . rh irro history. Cutting off the hand of a de- . . child is c-i: ui..-r'-aka.ble thing. No American would do it. But many. Americans who complain about the brutality of the Germans forget that they are guilty

of certain atrocities of their own, says the Indianapolis News. Frequently a man rises when the national anthem is played or sung. He knows the verse and he la la's the rest of it. He uncovers his head when the flag goes by even if a cold wind is blowing. He joined the Hed

Cross and bought a Liberty bond. When the Y. M. C. A. j fund was being raised he chipped in for that. Every time he shaves he stops, poisea his razor in the air and looks at himself in the mirror. Yes, he admits, fce is a regular fellow. He could not go to the front, but he has done everything he could do to help in a time of great need. But has he? Some of these well meaning patriots wear their patriotism on the surface. They go home from the office and demand a big piece of thick, steak, or a plentiful supply of bacon. When the coffee comes they place three or four lumps in the cup because they like it sweet. They scorn corn bread and demand nothing but smooth, white bread on their menu. Dishes that have been concocted in an effort to be saving of the vital food supplies are rejected and there is a demand for "something fit to eat." These men ere guilty of atrocities. They main the food regulations every time they eat at home. In public they fear to voice their innermost sentiments, but at home well, that's different. Every man's home is his castle, argues the food slacker, and when he commands food from the kitchen he Is going to get it or know why. Many men with finicky appetites learn to eat strange dishes when they are married. Still others have been learning new things since the war began. Right now they ought to resign as food dictators in their own homes. Let the women decide what shall be cooked, and when the food is placed on the table it is the duty of the men to eat it whether they like it or not. WELL ARE WE FIGHTING GERMANS? And it is barely possible, too. that the Hun drive will get the notion out of some estimable but visionary persona' heads that it is not the German people we are fighting. A million Germans in battle array ate at least a considerable part of the German people. It is the best indication that it is exactly the German people and none other than that the allies are fighting. The kaiser and his officers certainly are not as numerous as the hordes whose waves are attacking the allies on the West front. It is doubtless true that there is an element in the German people that deplores this war, and would end it if it could, but it is helpless, for which element the civilized countries can only have pity, but this does not represent the majority. Militarism is still the popular fetich in Germany, and the popular love of kings is bred into the bone. It is as much a part of the lives of the old line Germans, this delight in the affairs of royalty Rnd its worship of things kingly, as is the barbarity that has come down to them but slightly veneered from the Dark Ages.

CO-OPERATION ON THE FARM. Every now and then in driving through the country one sees a particularly rell kept farm. Everything is in shape and everything indicates prosperity. The farm is a success. What is the secret of this? It is that everybody on the place is busy, helping himself and helping the others. AH work and all work together. No matter what the weather, no matter what attacks the crops, no matter what the market, the business prospers. This country is engaged in a big war. Now is the time for everybody to work hard and help himself and others. The best way to help, if one is not at the front fighting, is to help finance the undertaking. We can't fail if we at horrfe do our share when we have men at the front making the supreme sacrifice.

SOME MORE AMERICAN EFFICIENCY. Acting on the orders of the German government, the officers and crews of the German ships interned in American waters inflicted such damage upon the machinery of the vessels as they deemed absolutely certain to keep the ships out of service for two years. By that time the Germans thought the war would be over. Hut American efficiency and American invention effected the necesrary repairs in from six to eight months and at a cost of $273,000; the Germans had figured the cost of repairs at $2,600,000 and the necessary time 24 months. All of these ships, except the one that was sunk, are now bearing American commerce on the seas or transporting American soldiers to Europe. The navy department figures that the use of these ships between the time the ships were actually repaired and the time the Germans estimated they could be repaired will be worth $240,000,000 to the government at the present rate of tonnage. The Valerland, one of these fhterned ships and the largest ship afloat, is now in the United States service, renamed the Leviathan. Americans are able to operate this sh-'n at a higher rate of speed than the Germans were able to do and this with 200 tons of coal less i day. The Leviathan has one American captain inplace of five German captains of the Vaterland, and one American chief engineer instead of a chief engineer and five assistants that German efficiency required.

WHAT YOUR BOND WILL DO. The farmer who purchases a $1,000 Liberty bond need not think he has not done anything toward directly providing the war department with the means to defeat the kaiser and his armies. When the war department gets $1,000 it has the funds wherewith to equip twenty-five soldiers and furnish them with two rifles each. These twenty-five men may, toy holding a shell hole or a section of a trench, decide a battle that will decide this war in our favor.

WE committed a fearful faux pas while thanking the generous Sam Ableman for a supply of matzos for Passover. "Very snappy stuff, Sam," we remarked, "only the baker forgot to put any salt in it. '

ONE fellow in Hammond got his face badly punched on Saturday night for his pro-German remarks. There are a number of others who are courting a worse fate

FOR PROSECUTINO ATTORNET. Editor TIMES: Because of the many requests from many parts of the county I have decided to announce my candidacy for prosecuting attorney, subject to the decision of the republican primaries. 3-18-1 ' JAMES A. PATTERSON.

Know one nocie woman WHO has a pleasant way of making a MEAL time a happy affair BY reminding us severely that prunes are 25 cents a pound now WHEN we act as if we were going to take more than two. WE are heartily in favor of FEEDING the ground glass put in canned stuff and candy TO pro-Germans. WE note with much rain that there are still women who are RELEASING a great deal of poison gas in their SYMPATHY for the Hun CUT It out! IT was wet SHE was a nice little thing ONLY she poked her umbrella m our optic and was so polite about it THAT we couldn't refrain from telling her not TO worry as we had another eye left. IF the government IS short on two dollar bills WE will be glad to exchange a few of them for a few fives and tens. AS a rule our taste for entertainment is quiet and subdued. SOMETHING like Charlie Ray and Norma Talmadge

BUT as the blood is poured out in Europe. WE are possessed of a great yearnfng to see a PRUSSIAN Junker Hanging EVERT night for a long while. A TEXAS paper has come across a girl WHO is so thoroughly Irish THAT she will only wear green garters BY that we mean that GEEN is the only color she will wear in garters. AND not that she wears garters and nothing else. SOME cities are waging war on dogs BUT letting war liars stay A WAR liar is a thousand times worse than a dog. IT looks a little like sarcasm to us when the government TELLS people that they should not buy too much coal at one time. "BEFORE we were married," the wiff ruminated "YOU used to take me places in a taxi "NOW you take me in a street car" "YES, that's the reason we have to gc in the street car now," and it seemed to BE about all that was necessary.
