There is only room for one fiag in Lake county and that is the Stars and Stripes. There is room for only one language and that is the language of the people of the United States. WORK IF THEY WANT IT. There is absolutely no excuse in Indiana for unemployed labor. And we seriously doubt whether there is in any other state. When, therefore, men come about with whines that they are unable to find work we may put them down as lazy pretenders and conscienceless drones, says the Fort Wayne New?. In Indiana today there is a lamentable scarcity of farm labor which promises to hamper production very seriously, and this, too, despite the fact that farmers are offering higher wages than ever before. The truth is that at the present high cost of living a man, who obtains his board and room on a farm and taks the offered wage there, is being better paid than jn almost any other line of ferviqe. But farm work is real work and only the exceptional man wants to take it. The curse of this country today is the all too general desire to receive high pay and render little or nothing in return. It is a curse, too, which augurs ill for the future, for we know right well what the end will b. That which is produced, whether by farm or factory, represents work and when work is stopped or curtailed, production is stopped or curtailed. As a consequence prices advance and living conditions are made onerous. There comes at length a snapping point and we wonder seriously whether that is not now near at hand.

I have been cussed, discussed, boycotted, talked to, talk ul about, held up, hung up, robbed, ravished and nearly ruined, and the only reason I am clinging to life is to see what in hell is coming next. A BLOT ON OHIO. Of com- e that groat human hulk, Jess VYillard. will be allowed to fight in Toledo on Independence day. This mastodonic slacker, whose career during the war, while our boys were lighting overseas, is unly too well known will be permitted to rake in untold thousands. The protests of minister are laughed at by the Toledo authorities. This match will be the biggest blow the boxing game on' encountered. This is a spoil that when legitimately carried on, without being commercialized, is one of the greatest sports there i , but such affairs as the Willai d Pempsey match will kill the game just as sure as ije breweries put the saloons out of busines . We wonder if the governor of Ohio is gohig to permit this champion slacker, who refused to box for war benefits during the war. will permit him to fatten his bankroll t the expert e of a great commonwealth? If Jess Willard is permitted to fieht Jack Demp:.ey in Toledo on a national holiday, Ohio is sunk pretty low. THE HOMESTEADER'S BABY. Tito Children' Bureau of the Department of Labor lias been making an investigation of maternity care and the welfare of young children in one of the homesteading counties of Montana. Nearly .7if0 mothers were visited by the acent ', and of these more than three-fourths were found to have bad r.o prenatal care whatever. The rest had little. Some of the mothers bad tried to get some information from books and magazines, but only a few-. Distances are tremendous, telephones there art3 none. Doctor- are few. nurses fewer, farm help scarce, so that often the mother continued heavy toil long after she should have stoppe dand returned to it too soon. Roads are frequenly impassable. It is no wonder that many of the mothers died or incurred lasting ill health as a result of the rumin: of their little one , while of the now Americans who first saw the lisrht in these wide region an average rf TO out of 1mO died. It is part of the work which the Children's Bureau is doing, to spread the gospel of good fiealth, including the" care of mothers and their babie; before and after birth, to every part of the country no matter how remote, and wherever the agents of the bureau have gone, succeeding reports have shown an improvement. The work should have the support of every citizen Funds should be furnished generously, and local organizations everywhere should cooperate w ith th govern mcnt. o that mother and child, whether in the homesteading counties: of Montana, the mountains of Virginia or anywher" else, may have the same care and attention as those in Chicago or New York.

It may seem early to talk of the white summer shoes, bat xbj ax making themselves noticeable in the shops. To prove that the oxford is the thing here there are two riair to one of pumps. The walking shoe I flow are brown leather and white suede with corrugated robber aolea. They are the proper thing for wear on the spring walks in tbe country or on the summer beaches. The all-white canvas oxfords at the right are th tmartest kind of footwear for the summer ports use. They are irora witX white silk novelty hose which has green silk clover leaves embroidered oa the instep. The pumps at the left, while not as popular a oacfords, are still the accepted thing for dress wear. They are exquisitely made colonial pumps of white kid. The rain sticks for this reason are very different from the long tapering ones of the past years. They are short and decidedly large as to handle. Those pictured below have quaint china handles of blue rose and yellow design They are either rain or sun shades.

TENTION! Here's Buddy!

NEW GLORY FOR AMERICA. All honor and glory lo the intrepid and indomitable Yankee fliers who for their country, won a world honor last Saturday, when they covered 1,500 miles of water to the Azores, practically an Atlantic flight! America against the whold world. You cannot beat her! What other great nations .talked about doing. United States naval fliers did. While others were waiting for winds and weather, our boys "hopped off" and achieved what it has been the ambition of air men to do ever since the Wright brothers took the air on that first crude aeroplane. What Americans have done will give confidence and courage to fliers everywhere and we shall expect to se amazing developments in flying within the next year or two. Indeed the imagination only is equal to figuring on what will be done in a short time. It was mete and proper that the honor should go to this country, which started flying. This country invented the' aeroplane, as it has-invented many other wonderous devices of civilization. American everywhere win rejoice at the achievements of the Thepassy-Punta-Grada flight and will be proud of the daring of the splendid crew of Atlantic air pioneers.

YOU CAN SYMPATHIZE. The worm turned long ago, but the trouble is that few of us saw him turn. Down at Monon some organization requested a donation from a man who is replv said: "I flatter myself that I have been a high example of public loyalty and generous. I have contributed to each and every object that has been presented to me, but I shall have to decline helping your cause along for the following reasons: I have been held up, held down, sand bagged, walked on, rolled over, run down, flattened out and squeezed.

A PICTURESQUE FIGURE COKE. With the passing of Will J. Pav.s, the veteran then trical man. a picturesque figure is removed from Crown Point. His country estate Willow dale--w as located there and ho really considered Willow-dale as much hi.i home as be did his re idence in Chicago. For two decades he was accustomed to spend his week-ends there surrounded by his theatrical friends and acquaintances and the horses and dog- he loved so well. To the staid county seat folk he was always an attraction when he alighted from an afternoon train on Saturday with the members of his family and nearly always some noted theatrical people, whom he brought out to show the beauties of Willowdal". Many of these actors and actre ses were world famous and they romped with Mr .Davis and the lovely Jessie Bartlett Davis over the big farm like children. The master of illowdale was always met at the station by ervants driving beautiful horses. He scorned the " automobile and was a stickler for the old fashioned things of life. Mr. Davis wa-can ideal host and that famous mintbed will never be forgotten by one who tasted its delight concocted by Mr. Davis himself. He took the greatest pride in his hor.-es. There never was a bet'er lover or a better judge of a horse than ho was. The county fairs were scenes of unequaled pleasure to him. He never failed to enter horses there and never failed to carry away blue ribbons. His death marks th removal of a man who loved the joys of a by-gone generation and the beautiful old-fashioned delights of years ago. He was inordinately proud of Crown Point and had great faith in its one day becoming a fa hionable summer resort for Chicago people. Indeed, his predictions in that re:-prct are becoming verified. There are many of his old time friends in Lake county who sincerely regret the death of the old-time theatrical man and are not slow in saying

In a letter received from him this week which was written the latter part of March, he said: "The temperature here at present is from thirty to forty desrees below zro. and they say winter lias Just begun."
