NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS: 1 you fall to receive your copy of THE TIMES a PPornptly as you have in tho past, pleaso do not think it baa Leen Iot or was not Kent on time. THE TIMES ha Increased lta mailing equipment and is striving ear:tetly k rach t patrona on time. Be prompt In advising ui !l-rL-yf.'V not tfet your paper andwewiUact promptlr WHAT ABOUT IT ? A very undesirable, not to say reprehensible, situation obtains in the cities of the Calumet region and still the citizens go on their way placidly and nothing is 'lore about It. What is the situation? A cootroversy ejists among the factions that, have to do with build' ins progress and five million dollars worth of building construction work hang;? in the balance. Spring is near at hand, when the pound of the saw ?nd hammer and the clank of the trowel should be music in the a.r, but there is little prospect of hearing it in a genera! way. It promises to be very isolated. Some building will go cn, but it will not be a fractional part cf what is necessary and what is ready to be done unless there is a vital change in the situation and that very fooh. It is a very deplorable state of affairs. If ever there was a time in the history of the region when the progress cf it in a building way was at stake, it is at the present. There i not a city in the district that is riot ready to go ahead with building projects of the greatest importance. For over a year building has been practically at a standstill in Hammond, Gary, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Whiting and every city has been a heavy loser therefore. Contractors and builders have been losers and building mechanics have been lowers. The needy families of some of the latter will testify to that fact. There seems to be no disposition to end the controversy. The interested pajties seem to be inclined to Jet it go on interminably and the result of the conditions is just so much economic wastage, wastage of money and of man power, idleness, want and destitution. There is no use being mealy mouthed about it. Tbe situation is serious. There isn't a city in the region That isn't badly in need of public buildings, stores and residences. Hundreds and thousands of empty lots need filling up with buildings for the f.ocd to come. This is generally admitted, but a.fter admitting it, people accept it with a wry face and let it go at that. Isn't it time to take the bull by the horns and an extremely stubborn bull be is. Are tbe civic organizations who want to do things for their respective remmunities going to sit idly by and let this state of affairs continue to exist? Is there not eucu a thing as public spirit? It surely doesn't amount to much if it cannot settle this controversy. It is not for this paper to undertake to fix tbe blame. It has been presenting the facta as they obtain in the nws of the wTangle from day to day, but It assumes to re neither arbiter nor critic. That is a duty of the geiaral public, a public that stands for tbe best interests of the community of which it ought to be a part. It i? high time for the public to set up and get busy!

SWEET MEMORIES. The department of commerce, has published a revie, w of the sugar situation in which attention is called jto tho loss sustained by both the producers and coniJ.umers on account of the action of the democratic administration is net continuing control of the situation ! through the sugar equalization board until after the Usturbnnr.es incident to the war had disappeared. '"The loss to the American consumer," says the department.

"amounted to several undred millions of dollars and was inevitably followed by a crash which has done indefinite injury to the sugar producers themselves. It will be remembered that former President Yilkou, who held control of the sugar equiliiation board through ownership of slock acquired under the law. re-

' fused to authorize the purchase of the lf20 Cubar

sugar crop. As a. result tho price of sugar soared to

j unheard of heights and rationing became necessary. A jliuge tax was (Aken from the cc nsurning public in the excess prices demanded. Later on the price dropper' jjnd producers, refiners and manufacturers of products containing sugar were forced to dispose at ruinous

prices of stocks that had been acquired at the Lighei levels. Fortunately, this manifestation of Wilsonism,

Hike all the other destructive features of that period of

our history, has been left behind and reconstruction, under republican auspices, is well advancd. PRINCIPLE OF PROSPERITY. The tanner cannot be expected to work two days fn order to produce enough wealth to buy the product of a shoemaker working only one day. The proper adjustment will be reached when tbe product of the factory and the product of the soil each is produced at such a ccfit as will enable these commodities to b; freely moved and interchanged, declares the American Mutual Magazine.

Nothing coultf give more satisfaction to the country than to have 'Bergdoll back serving his sentence for' his disloyal i conduct. It is strange that even at this late day the mystery surrounding this scandal of the last administration has never been entirely cleared up. The report of tbe

special congressional committee of investigation is matter of official record, but it is only a half-told tale. There were two reports, indeed, the majority and minority, differing only in the amount of blame apportioned to former Brig. Gen. Samuel T. Ansell y.ho was one of Fiergdoii's counsel. It will aways remain a reflection upon Secretary Paker's administration of the war department that the complete history of this case was not cleared up

and made public, without fear or favor, at a time when tt was possible to get at the facts. As a rejsult of this failure tho impression has remained in jthe public mind that someone in high position was being protected. The forced return of Bergdoll would inot clear up the mystery, but it would be -i satisfaction 'to have him receive the punishment he so richly deserver.

At this time of the 5"ear the thermometer sometimes takes a notion to drop several degrees toward the zero mark. When that happens we are sure to get in a number of "No Gas" complaints. -To be without gas even for a short time in warm weather is a great inconvenience; in zero weather it is a disaster. , No one knows this better than the gas man; consequently when "Jac Frost" interferes with our customers' gas supply, the gas man makes haste to remedy the trouble as promptly as possible. But inexperienced men cannot be used to handle this class of work; it requires the services of careful competent men, trained to the business. When the weather is unusually severe, and complaints become numerous, every fitter, fitter's helper, stove adjuster and service man is put on this work, and they stick to it night and day as long as there is a "no-gas" complaint to be remedied. Also many of our office men, who have had training in gas service work, volunteer their services during a rush period and cheerfully leave a comfortable inside job, from sheer loyalty to the company and a desire to give all customers speedy service. Our service is a twenty-four hour a day proposition and is free. We can be reached any time of day or night, Sundays and holidays. For some years past the company has made a point of seeing that meters and gas pipes are installed so that they cannot be affected by frost. Consequently "No Gas" complaints are growing fewer and fewer every year. Such a complaint from a modern building is almost unheard of, but they still come from the older buildings. Customers can co-opeTate with the company and prevent inconvenience to themselves by seeing that basements and rooms where meters are located arc not allowed to get below freezing point. Icy blasts from doors and windows should be prevented, and all reasonable precautions taken. Precaution is always better than the best of cures. If, however, a customer is unfortunate enough to have to turn in a "No Gas" complaint, he may rest assured that the gas man will use extraordinary efforts and do all in his power to restore the gas service at that location as speedily as possible.
