Kut ind west are met la th Calu met region. Tlit peoples of the earth are father ed In a Setting- that abounds In romance. From the moaiy banks of the wooded Kankakee, whare the spirit of the Indiana and trappers live In the mut that fines with the sunset, to the snrlnes of the sand sun worimlppers in the dunes, there is a blinding of the atmosphere of the Orient and Occident. Out of the polygot of race out of some humble dwelling in a district where the customs of a do ten races and the tongues of half a hundred cationalltles are heard, there will come soma day a genius who will write the great American novel. Thefe will come a Balaae to put In immortal word the story of the melting pot. A Wagner to express In great music the soul of the struggling mosses and their toll In the heat of the furnaces and the sound of the roaring cranes. A Whistler to paint the gorgeous sunset bathing the bowed heads of the venerAblc dunes, and the glare of the bessemer against the background of pigmy figures working in the shadows of the great and grimy temple that are the mills of industry. AW ARE THERE. Night transforms the streets of the foreign districts. Uarknea hides the common place. There ts adventure to be found. The hot blood of the Iatln, the heathen stealth of the Asi&stlc, the cunning Of the Arab, the sublime family llfo of the orthodox Jew, the cere, monies of the Oreek church, the levity of the, southern Darky, and the queer habits of the "I'ecUllkr Chinee" are evidenced. The ft-panifh Orandee and the swaying figure of an Hawaiian dancer may be seen In. a Turkish coffe house, perhaps the Spanlfti Gran dee la realty a Mexican laborer dread In a Sears-Roebuck suit of Sunday-go-to-meeting clothe and the Hawaiian dancer may be the daughter of a Polish father and an Hungarian mother, but things are often so mixed up hereabouts as regards races that ont tan never be sure. SOME STfcANOE TYPES. Do you Question the assertion that we In Lake covlnty live constantly in an atmosphere somewhere between the Fables of Aesop, the Court of loui XIV and the Tirates of Pentahcc How then do you account for the character we have produced that are worthy to grace the pages of Alice In "Wonderland or The Last Days of pom pell? Mow about Kankee Hank OfShgger. tlfta of the Dunes. Virginia Brook, or Tim Englehart, the Duke v of Ridge ftod? Kank Granger ts deaa nd we mean no disrespect to his memory -when we say that he was a char acter and a wonderful type. Kankakc-a Hank Oranker was not an outlaw, as many accused him of being. Hank Orangc-r was honesf, he was reifflou. and ne was ah admirable man. Hut Hank's standard of living didn't conform with that nf this decade. He came from a day that had gone before him. He was a pioneer, a woodsman and a lover of nature. He looked upon the silly game and fish lawn, the restraining Influence of prohibition and other modern me-asurt. as infringement

upon his sovereign rights as a hunter and fisherman. And he could shoot! MAI His nw.v uws. Kankakee Hank viewed game Warden and federal agents with about aa much reapeci as he once had for a sneak in Indian. He wna never responsible for the demise ut one of the Ilk, but he gave them many a bad hour. Hank .continued to hunt and fish according lo his inclinations. He lived In the wood and his lodge was the rendezvous of wealthy sportsmen of Chicago. New York, South Bend and Jndiahapblls. Hank lived and died with the love and respect of his nelgllbors and the fear and malace of the game wardens and federal agent. He outwitted them at every turn and made of them the laughing stuck oi a nation. The storle of Kankakee Hank Granger have been told in every newspaper In the country. When he died several years ago the Sew York World published a two column story in which It said that he was among other things great naturalist and that with him passed away a profound knowledge of the flora and fauna of the Kankake river. bit A tV.lS ORItilXlAI Diana of the Dunes Is the wontin Who cast herself into the then wildernesM, about ten years ago. and introduced bathing au-natural. Diana lived alone In the great dune region the ytar around until two years a whn she gave shelter and folofte night to an escaped convict n--tok;-hlr.' as.Jitr mate for life. There H rohtance fcr ydu. It would satisfy the Iringlngs of the dreamiest high school co-ed. H ASI3D OVT VIC E. Virginia Brooks Is the girl who drov-.e the vice lord out of.Vest Hammond, III. She started alone b casting a. paving -brick at the head of a corrupt Chief of police and a group of snarling aldermen, goon she had the pre of the country with her.. Scores of reporters and Newspaper photographer dogged her footstep. Stories were written about the ltne of dives In which girls were held in bondage and ftom which the bodies of Unfortunate victim of the "black bottle" were spirited away through an underground tunnel to a subterranean cemetery. KtiADY FOR A VflllfcO. Tim Englehart. 'DUke of Ridge P.oad" has been pictured as the prototype of "Oet Rich Quick Walllngford.' It Is told of Tlrn Englehart that in the early days when Clary wa a wild, as any mining camp, he presided at a fu nefal. There were no women in tne city then except the kind that drink with men it the bar. Sor was the a clergyman. Borne worthy brother had been "bunrped off" during a midnight brawl in a barroom. They were burying htm the net da.y in a sand grave and Tim was askfed to say a few appropriate words. He hesitated only a moment. 'Men.' said Tim. "there seem to be A good dial of speculation kit to who this wa wa and where he 5&me fforn. i can rtnly say this. He was a ffd blooded. up-and-at'em ms.n or he wouldn't have come to this town.

LAKE COUNTY AWAKETO SPIRIT OF THE JiMES Kiwanis and Hotkry Clubs Spreading Thr6U(hout Citiea of thd XUion. Iake county tfleh may be classified in two groups republicans and 4n,' crats, but there 4s a grtat dlyerener In thl lr Importance. The democrats for some reason have not been grabbing the plum as they used to, arid In the last few elections the other gang has been stepping in. . In spite of all that can be said, there are many fine democrat In the county, but. to repeat, they don't srm to get In the limelight as they used to. Therefore, In order to meet the worth while men In the various Lake county cities, they will hdve to be. redivided. The two gfoups noW to tie Introduced - are, Klwantdns and notarial). 4id ths Who ought to. be Klwant&ns and Uotarlon. Too much cannot he said about thbse two clubs. They have tak'n bulhc by the neck In Lake fctoUMy and shaken It Into some sembltm-e at. decctity, Thy have Introduced spjrlt.. WJtlCh makes a man" rival in bitainri his dearest friend at the ame time. They have taken fie salient aye-sores and knocker's chopping blocks of our cities and made them object of wonder and admiration. They have succeeded In bringing together In two group the thinking, dolhf men nf Ijeke county. ThefP Is 'one greats regret In con nectlrin'Wlth these two clubs, however. They have not spread fait enough and they are unable to Include all who Should, by their achievements. be members of a live grobp of business meh. Just now, Hammond Is the only city in, the county which really and truly has a llvo Rotary and Kiwanis crowd, all organited and functioning. There is a rift In the clouds Which spell joy to any a city, however. Hammond Kiwanlans and Kolarlan have hern making pilgrimages to ur rounding cities. They have sold their hMghbor on the Rotary and KlWanl Idea. They have been gathering together groups of men in thes cltle 4nd seeking to organise them Into club. Jus! as groups fmm across the tate ilne slipped Into Hammohd and ld the city the greatest favor he will ever receive from them, and. glory be, they are succeeding! fcast Chicago-, whiting, Oary, all are In line for Kiwanis charters. Itotarlan are working steadily to land their quota of good men In those cities. What doe it mean? Do buslm s gathered together for a good tlm once- a Week. rally give the city a worth while gift? That ha hert so startlngly demonstrated in the lst few months In Hammond tnat the most skeptical cannot doubt longer. - -Here are two group of the bet business men irt- the town.
