Be prompt in advising us When you do not get your paper and we will act promptly SENATOR NEW", SPEEDER OF PROSPERITYThe passage by congress this week of the Sew bill authorizing certain improvements of the Indiana Harbor Ship Canal in the cities of Hammond and East Chicago Is a measure destined to be of far-reaching effects and having tremendous bearing on the future prosperity of Lake county. When the Jones and Laughlin Steel Company of Pittsburgh In December put under contract and option 1200 acres of land in Hammond (a site larger than, the Gary plant) the final taking of title to the deal was made contingent upon the completion of certain conditions, the majcr of which was obtaining of the Congres; Bional authority just granted. Less than two mouths ago the task of getting this authority was entrusted to senators New and Watson end Representative Wood. At once the New bill providing for the authority requested was introduced in the Senate. It was immediately endorsed by the War Department, obtjined speedy and favorable committee recognition, and passage by the Senate followed, with concurrence by the House. It does not take many words to tell of the recordbreaking manner in which this authority was obtained from Congress. But it would take many words to describe the solicitous interest whicH Messrs New, Watson and ivood maintain in Lake County's welfare. ' And it would probably be a revelation to many persons to learn of the extent of Senator Xew's infiutnce in Washington. One of the closest friends of the President, a dominating figure in the Senate, and influential in cabinet circles, the speedy passage of the lecal harbor bill i3 a testimony to his standing and energetic efforts. Furthermore the quick passage of the bill shows that Indiana in general and Lake county in particular is fortunate in having such tireless and efficient representatives at AVashington as New, Watson and Wood. They ere the men who get things done for us. NO POWER DESPOILED. Every signatory nation to the Versailles pact, with its League of Nations covenant, came away from the Paris meeting with a substantial loss of the sovereignity and freedom of action it enjeyed when the peace conference convened. national prestige and independence unimpaired, f

TIME SOMETHING WAS DONEA. Murray Turner fcdve the city a tract of land on the bank of the Grt.ad Calumet river to be converted into an athletic field. Evreybody was happy. City officials, including councilmen, were profuse in their thanks. The gut was valued at aDout nrieeu thousand doyars. It was magnaimous of M. Turner. He' was the city's first citizen. Hammond would never forget. And so on. Hammond ha.-sn't forgotten but the city councils evidently have. Here we are on the verge of spring. The kids have already played One Old Cat on the vacant lot3. Soon the baseball season will be in full swing. But not in Hammond. We can't have a baseball season in Hammond because we haven't a baseball park. We thought we had one but we failed to count on the slew moving city council. The council hasn't made a move to appropriate money to improve Turner field. If it is true as some ay, that additional land is necessary to make it au money to improve Turner field. If it is true as some athletic filed, why not buy the land? Frank Blocker, who is a surveyor and an athlete, says that the Turner tract of land is big enough for a National league ball park. We don't wish anybody any bad luck but if some tough kida take after Councilman Bill Sehulte with a

j baseball bat the first warm day, it might start some

thing. Bill Sehulte seems to have a lot to say in the council. He ia supposed to be somewhat of a councilman and such a world-beater of a .ball player why in the name cf Babe Ruth and Ty Cob don't he sta"i something? It is high time something was done.

LESSENING BLINDNESS. The census of 1920 is disclosing many interesting tacts concerning the American people, some gratifying, some depressing. Among the encouraging figures given

jout are those relating to blindness. They show a mark

ed following off in the number of sightless persons in the country, and this in the face of an ' increase in population. There were 52,617 blind people in the United States in 1920; ten years before there were 37,272. Now it was not just a freak of chance that the number declined. Blindness is not an altogether uncontrollable thing ;we are not wholly powerless to prevent it. On 'the contrary, it could have been averted in a simple way In the case of ninny of those afflicted

iby it if thos who had the care of them had onlx'known

how. And the reason why there was a lessening In the number of the blind during the ten-year period it because the people the learning the way to prevent it. A large proportion of the blind lose their sight as babies. As new-born infants they are afflicted with a disease of the eyes which, if not promptly treated,

will cause them to lose the use of them. Happily there (is a sure way to cure the disease ;a drop or two of the curative agent will save the eyes. As education spreads the remedy is being applied more and more with the gratifying result noted.

That blindness and ignorance go hand in hand is revealed by the fact that there are more sightless persons among those with limited education than among the more enlightened. There are about 200 blind per 100,000 of population among the Indians, 60 per 100,OOOamong the negrces, and 48.3 per 100,000 white persons. As public knowledge is more widely diffused we man yconftdently look for a still further falling off in the number of tjlind.

Gar Ownership a Sign of Success

Ownership of an automobile is one of the distinguishing marks of success. The modern world has come to regard the car a man drives as the barometer of his progress and an index to his judgment. Look at the people who are driving Willys-Overland cars. You will see examples of success in every walk of life. Their good judgment pointed unmistakably to Willys-Knight and Overland motor cars, backed as they are by the local responsibility of our organization for the continued and satisfactory performance of every car we sell.

St.Joseph. Missouri. "Both of my sides swelled and hurt me so that I could not move or do any of my work. There was heavy pressure and pains through my lower organs and the doctor told me to try Lydia E. rinkham's Vegetable Compound for these troubles. He said I had this one chance, and if the Vegetable Compound did not help me nothing but an operation would. After taking several bottles I felt it was helping me and now I am able to do my own work. If my t estimonial will help others I shall be glad for them to read it and hope your Vegetable Compound will do them as much good as it did me." Mrs. Wm. Lockman, 513 N. 4th St, St- Joseph, Mo.
