It must La a relief to Hie automobile driver to know that the danger or being wrecked by a machine in the hands of a drunken driver on the wonderful roada around the Lake has geen practically Temoved. Let s make the most of the God-given benefits of

Cedar Lake is within easy driving distance of every section of the county. Here's thanking the Sheriff and Prosecutor for their assurance that Cedar Lake is to be kept clean for the people.

SHERIFF OLDS AND PROSECUTOR KINDER DESERVE CREDIT Sheriff Hut Olua and Prosecutor Jw1ght Kinder are to be congratulated upou their ultimatum that Cedar Lake must b ktrpt fre of vice and gaming. Until Quite recently Lake county's beautiful Inland lake has bHjn despoiled by pug-uglies and wemen of the demlraonde. The Ash and chicken restaurants have been Bibrraed by undesirable patronage. The crimson cf auxamer umeta has been aacriliged by the flaming red of vie. For several years Cedar Lake has been In process of reform and the last two summers have seen the lovely body ft water In Its eetting of vistas of growing fields, spreading tree and sloping campus, return to normalcy. Desirable people have built cottages and now that they are assured of the vigilance of the rounty 'official they will encourage their friends. Lake county ie to hav its own Bummer colony, made pleasant and wholesome for the law-abiding people. The sporting gentry will find no attraction in a peaceful, respeotable summer resort puch as Cedar I,a.e has come to be. Joy riders go where they are certain of boot-leg whisker, uncensored dancing and a :ree reign in their dissipation. They must seek other havens. County Recorder William Rose has set an example by taking his family to Cedar Lake and declaring that he will see that there Is nothing amiss at the resort thfei year. Mr. Rose does not propose to have his family molested by vicious influences. The day when houses of ill-repute desecrated the road sides and corn fields behind them, are paM. No more will women in 6canty garb, painted as though for the foot-llghts, stand at the bar drinking and Joining in the ribald laughter of silly drunken youths, r-ever again will decent people passing In automobiles oe forced to turn their heads to avoid shocking sights inade visible by the open dcors of the 'Joints'' whose proprietors had not even the sense of decency to screen their inmates and patrons from the public. Murders and drowning will be lessened. The number of men and women who have been drowned in

WILL HAYS' POSTAL STANDARDS The postal establishment is most certainly not an institution for prcflt nor politics, but an institution for service." This satement made by Postmaster General Hays before the recent meting of the American Newspaper Publishers Association indicates that a truth which has been prized possession of a big majority of the American people has finally percolated to Washington. Kver since Washington officialdom got the

(bug to make the postal service pay in dollars and cents.

users of the mails have discerned a steady depreciation of the value of the service to the people and a continuous lowering of the department's morale. Mr. Hays shows hopeful sign of resuscitating the fine spirit which, a quarter of a century ago, made the postal serlce of the United States an object of admiration the world over and a source of great pride and satisfaction

j to the American people.

That Mr. Ha yea is giving thought to the Improvement of the postal service beyond the requirements of making fine speeches is indicated by the expression of one of hi ideals. He said when a newspaper goeB to press on time and is sent to the postoffice on time, it is the duty of the postal service to see that it is delivered on time. The tendency has been to 6tress the prompt delivery of letters and to give newspapers too little attention. The idea of hustling newspapers through the mall to keep their daily appointment with their millions of subscribers may at a glimpse appear novel. But Mr. Hays has the right idea. To the great newspaper reading public outside of the ctiies the receipt of a dally paper while its news is still fresh is of as much importance generally as the receipt of letter. The newspaper comes freighted with Information which touches the lives of the people in many intimate ways, socially, economically, financially, politically, Industrially, and in many of these the question of promptness enters with controlling force. Mr. Hayes shows fine appreciation of the duties of his high office In setting service above profits in money as an ideal for the postal service. od:k:deadwpgego-oao raou-

Oil and bituminojs coal are the two chief items of raw materials used in the manufacture of artificial gas. Suppose they should cost so much that 1,166 artificial gas companies in the United States could no longer operate without huge losses. Suppose these companies were forced to close down their plants and to shut off the supply of gas for even a singlo day. What would happen? Immediately the lives of more than fifty million persons in America who depend upon gas for cooking, heating; lighting, and industrial purposes would be vitally affected. Their homes would be darkened at night. Their meals would be served uncooked or cold. Their rooms would be cheerless. The bath would become an icy plunge. Laundry and kitchen work would be drudgery. And outside the home thousands of big industrial plants would be crippled. Weigh these facts carefully and you will realize what a tremendous part artificial gas plays in modern crriliza tion. It is the very life blood of 4,600 of our most prosperous cities, towns and villages. It is a nrsity ! Northern Indiana Gas & Electric Co.
