WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The prices of hogs have advanced fifty per nt in the last few. weeks. The cotton market is stronger, and there expectation that we will soon see a material Ivance in the price. The price of wheat has advanced mater13y of late. Oats and hay are higher. Corn, also, is higher. Wool has advanced considerably in the st few weeks. Bonds are higher. The interest rate, or the discount rate, has :en lowered. The money situation is said to have eased all over the country. There is enough money tw for any legitimate business. Isn't the thing we have been waiting for ming to pass? It is just about time to celebrate. Time to take off the long face and wear broad smile. It is time to get up early, stay up late and ark hard. Old opportunity is back with us again. He is knocking at the door. He is anxious to come in and do business tth us. Come out of hiding and look around. Come up from the storm cellar. It is practically all over. Wonderful how it has cleared up. It is time now to hitch up and go. The crowd will soon be off.

ACH CITY SHOULD HAVE SAME TIME. There is much ado at Gary over the fact at Mayor R. 0. Johnson refused to veto the lylight saving ordinance which the council issed. East Chicago has already decided to ive daylight savings. Chicago has adopted with the difference from last year that day;ht saving is ended in September instead of ;tober. If people will only stopto think the ties of the Calumet region are forced to folw Chicago's lead or the utmost confusion sulci result. If one city-in the district opered on old time and the others on daylight vings businesses of all kinds would be plung-

1 in one grand mixup and jumble. v People

ho live in one city and work in another Duld find their time in constant clash. Faeries, courts, schools and stores in one city Duld open on one time and in another at anher time and it would be practically imposi)le to keep tab on time unless the same time erated alike in each of them. Unless busies is to be a riot of confusion let's all have e same time in the Calumet region.

HEARTS ABROAD. Some of the leaders of the Democratic ess are shedding bitter tears because ' the aropean nations are asked to pay four and a tarter per cent interest on their debts to us. ot a tear is shed, however, in sympathy for cnerican taxpayers who are paying the same te of interest on the money we borrowed to an to Europe. Strange, isn't it, that a lot of litors whose hearts are in Europe do not ove over there.

A SQUARE DEAL FOR RETAILERS. The retail trade is the largest single busies line of any city; more people are engaged it, with the store owners and their employes,

an in any other line. The public is brought ore closely in contact with it than with the

en engaged in other lines of business. In an direct way, it is unfortunate for retail traders at they are the people who have to tell the iblic the price it will be asked to pay for the lods they offer. If those prices are high,

oughtless people, like the Attorney General i the United States, will lay the blame on the tail dealer, simply because he is the man

ey come in contact with.

1 But the fair man will want to know someing of the conditions behind the retailer, ow were the wholesale prices? What wages e being paid in the industry? What about eight charges? And how are his taxes and

her overhead expenses?

; In these times the thoughtful man will ask,

o,' "Is this retailer losing money, losing some ! the prosperity? Has Jje been compelled to scharge reluctantly . some of his valued em-

oyes, to cut his expenses and keep his bus! ss going?"

' We have all had a trying time in the last

w months. We in America need a mutual

sympathy, a fellow-feeling and sincere co-operation between man and man and between classes, if we are ever to reach the Harding Ideal of normalcy. The craft of American commerce has been upon turbulent and dangerous waters; we are nearly through the rapids. But we will never get through if some high-placed public official rises every now and then and rocks the boat. Our retail dealers are our own people. They live among us; we know them and have confidence in them. They are a straightforward and reliable as any other class of our business man. They deserve a square deal, and the fair-minded American people will willingly concede it to them. And for the sake of national welfare and for that prosperity which has been promised us, but which has not yet been delivered, let us have no more of class hatreds and jealousies. Montgomery Ala., Advertiser.

AN UNPLEASANT SITUATION. That jury service might prove unpleasant for women was foreseen when it was realized that such duty should devolve on them as a feature of admission to full rights of citizenship. It was easily imaginable how it might prove embarrassing to herd women and men together in the manner in which jurors have been accustomed to be kept together in grave cases. Experience has shown that the worst that was foreseen was not more than has come tp pass. An instance is reported from Minnesota where seven women and five men were kept together in one room for two days and two nights while they were endeavoring to agree on a verdict. The laws of Minnesota regarding the herding of jurors may be unusually rigid. They are too rigid in the case of mixed juries when men and women are not permitted to separate even to sleep. It is stated that the situation raised a deep howl of protest on the part of husbands of the women on the jury. While there has been a demand on the part of some women for full equal rights and these have been accorded in large measure even to sitting on juries, it might not have robbed the sex of any real privilege had women stopped short of seeking service as jurors. Jury duty may not be agreeable for men, though it is a part of citizenship that cannot be avoided. The character of the case to be heard may make it specially disagreeable for women.

NEED NOT WIN. A lawyer sued a doctor out in Idaho to collect legal fees, which the doctor refused to pay alleging that the attorney was guilty of malpractice in that he did not win the case which he was employed by the physician as counsel. The .supreme court held that the lawyer was

entitled to his fee even if he did not win the

case, unless there was a contractural agreement to the contrary. As a bit of pleasantry

the supreme court in its decision compared the case in hand with that of a physician who treated a patient to the best of his ability but des

pite the medical attention the patient died. The court said the-physician could not be held to have been guilty of malpractice simply because the' patient died and that it was not to be accepted that because of the death of the patient the physician could not collect his pro

fessional fees. This dispatches say that the physician complainant recognized the force of the supreme court's logic and arranged to pay his lawyer. By the way did you ever hear of. any one winning a suit against a lawyer involving the question of fees, asks the Fort Wayne News. We though not.

DISABLED FIRST. It is worth while to note that although there are many people who oppose a soldiers' bonus for one reason or another, there is absolutely no one anywhere who opposes for any reason the utmost provision for the care and rehabilitation of the disabled veterans. That is the government's first duty, and the duty will be well performed, whatever may be done about a bonus.

THE Democratic national chairman says the Republican administration has been a complete failure. Coming from an authoritative source like that, the opinion is, of course, conclusive.

ANOTHER startling fact OF life is how well a wife's RELATIVE can look in a phototograph. ANOTHER thing that makes ..A woman often feel as "if she had MADE a mistake in her selection OP a father for her children. If any IS the way her husband POSITIVELY refuses to dress up WHE.V his old clothes are OT so tight and more comfortable. 1 THE doctor who believes that whiskey is medicine IS probably not over particular ABOUT what ails the applicant. IT is too bad our ancestors 1ID not live long encugh TO realize how smart we are. SOME people are always looking FOR trouble even when THEY know it has never been lost. PROBABLY tbe three most EFFTJCTIYE modern means for DISTRIBUTION of information ARE the telegraph the telephone AI the dressmaker. A man never seems to appreciate THE exercise he gets iby jumping THROUGH a hoop at the COMMAND of his wife! WELL we probably read A newspaper doctor's column ALL through last night AND now seem to have the moat PRONOUNCED symptoms of about EVERYTHING there is except a 22 pound UN WEANED baby and a squeaking kneejolnt AND even as to the latter WE are not altogether certain INASMUCH as a growing deafness WAS among other things mentioned. s THE minp of a single-track kind SHOULD we believe CARRY tail lights to AVOID rear-end collisions. PROBABLY the older generation OF Cincinnati and St. Louis brewers WILL never be able to ACCUSTOM Itself to making NEAR ibeer without feeling guilty. A meat packer can make HIS explanation sound SO pious and true that we have OFTEN wonder why more MEAT packers didn't go Into the ministry. IF prices are falling they ARE making a noise more LIKE leaves THAN like hickory nuts.

GERMANY Undoubtedly has suffered losses. But there is a growing suspicion that the war, after all, may not have been one of them.

A MASSACHUSETTS man has just fallen heir to 200,000 Austrian kronen, about $20 in American money. He will keep right on working.

PARIS belles are wearing bells on their garters. But it is not yet reported that Paris beaus are wearing bows on their suspenders.

THE bill carrying that free seeds appropriation has passed the house, but it may have a "hard row t.o hoe" in the senate.

Negro Foregoes His Escape by Garbage INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE KANSAS CITY, Mo., March William Leary, a negro serving a tenyear stretch for robbery in the Missouri Penitentiary at Jefferson City, never wants to look at a garbage can again. Leary, after a bath is quite willing, also to serve out his prison sentence "as is."

This change about of ideas came after Leary conceived the bright idea of escaping from prison in the penitentiary garbage wagon. He hid himself in the wagon and allowed himself to be covered with a large pilp of garbage. Out he went with the garbage, but it was too much. With garbage dripping from his clothes, the negro finally jumped from the wagon. Officers, following the smell Leary left in his fleeing wake, quickly captured him.

What Number Did You Call? It is always the best practice to consult the directory before you make a telephone call unless you are positive of the number. When you call for the number of a telephone which has been discontinued, if the called subscriber has moved or the number has been changed, it is- necessary for the operator to pass this call to another operator, who checks the number called and advises you in turn of the error. This necessarily slows the service. The directory has a page on which numbers frequently called may be noted for ready reference. This list should be checked and corrected with each new issue of the directory and all other handy lists should be discarded.
