PLYMOUTH POSTOFFICE IS ALREADY CROWDED WITH PARCELS.
Postoffice Patrons are Asked to Aid Employes in Every Way That is Possible.
Christmas time, with all its happiness aitl good cheer, is near alt hand and many people are preparing remembrances to be sent to loved ones far away as a token of wann friendship. In many cases these are accompanied by letters and Christmas cards. The custom of giving at this season has betn carried through ago and has increased from year to year. Gifts of greater value seem r. 'be used now than in former year. There seems to be about threeclasses of Christmas shoppers, those -who make their purchases earlv as soon as the articles are placed on display ot!nrs wh buy alxmt a week in advance and last, those who buy just in time to get the gifts in the mail before Christmas.' This keeps the potolTice employes busy tor two or three weeks before Christmas and throughout this time the mails are th Hided. Efforts 'have been ma.de. with fairly goAl success, to induce t'rt patrons of the postoffice t. mail their packages early and so held avoid the final rush, which causes so much hard work for the postoffice force. The ho! May rus'i has already started at the Plymouth office and from early indications -'it will be one of the bu-lest seasons in the history of the office-

Under this bill the state . iil sell the indemnity lands he new colletgt lands and the ;midic building lands, still rctain'ng the common school lands proKT. sections 10 and 'M, and the Kginal college lands, section Kl. The sale of the indemnity lands in ! the new college lands is desirable because they lie in large Mocks and bein,g non-taxable, seriously cripple the sch.ol district und townships and even the counties where they are locate!. The salt of the public building 'liOs is necessary to obtain funds or the erection of the many state institutions which already have n-t-n created by the legislature.

Take a map of North America, place the needle of your compasses half way across Lake Michigan nearly due east of the Wisconsindllinois line, and describe a half circle to the left from Milwaukee to South Bend. It looks like a small bit of territory, but that strip of land as it curves around the end of Lake Michigan, some 25 miles wide and 200 miles long. Is destined to become the manufacturing center of the world. This assertion Is not imaginative, but is based on solid facts and figures, and its truthfulness is rapidly forcing itself on the minds of the country's leaders in industry and finance. Conditions there to-day more than foreshadow the future. I.ook again at the map and note the cities that are included in your semi-circle. Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, Elgin, Aurora, Chicago, South Chicago, Pullman. Kensington, Chicago Heights, Sheffield, Whiting, Hammond. East Chicago, Gary, La Porte, Michigan City, South I'.evd and a score of lesser note. In every one great manufacturing establishments
future status of the district as the great manufacturing and distributing center, in three years It created a city of 30,000 people centered about its mighty mills. The Olivers, the Studebakers, the Deeres, the McCormicks, the Deerings and all the other manufacturers are alive to the opportunities of the future. They rejoice in the approaching completion of the Panama canal and are determined that false economy and political scheming shall not delay the building of the Lakes-to-Gulf deep waterway, even if they have to pay for it themselves. The commanding position of this industrial district is well indicated by the trademark of- the M. Rumely Company of La Porte, Ind., reproduced herewith. This company, in its spirit and achievement, is typical of the manufacturers of the district. Within the last three years it has doubled the size of Its plant, and still it is unable to supply the demand for its goods. Nevertheless it does not rest satisfied, but is already planning

are roaring day and night, all the year round, turning out products for
the world. The smoke from the myr
iad chimneys lies like a pall over the
land by day, and by night the glare
of their furnaces lights up the sky like a chain of conflagrations. Hundreds of thousands of railway trains and thousands of vessels pour into these cities an endless stream of raw material Iron, steel, lumber, grain.
coal and depart again laden with
manufactures that are sold in nearly every land on the globe.
So it is to-day. What will it be to
morrow, when the deep waterway from the Great Lakes to the Gulf is opened up, as It must be, and the Panama canal is completed? The ac
complishment of those mighty enter
prises means that the entire South American continent will be reached
from this manufacturing district at
the foot of Lake Michigan more di
rectly and economically than from
any other in the world. And the
manufacturers there are alive to the opportunity and prepared to accept it. The wonderful farming lands of western Canada are only beginning to be known, but already thousands of
alert progressive American farmers
are there, and they are calling for American-made farm machinery. Mexico Is demanding our manufactures more and more insistently each year. American threshers, harvesters, plows, buggies, wagons, windmills and
mining machinery are used In every
civilized country on earth. And our
own broad land, rich and prosperous, steadily demands almost as much as
the manufacturers have been able to
supply. That is the market of the present and near future. The laws of trade are that It must be supplied by a district so located that the raw material can be brought In and the finished product sent out most expeditiously and most, cheaply; a district with ample transportation facilities by land and water; a district with a plentiful supply of skilled labor and a climate in which the laborer can work to best advantage; a district with capitalists of brains and energy, who are not afraid to spend money In order to accomplish results. In a word, such a district as Is found around the southern and southwestern shore of Lake Michigan and found nowhere else on earth. Wise Americans of affairs are well aware of this fact, as Is shown by the action of the United States Steel Corporation In building Gary, Tnd. The steel trust did not locate Its giant plant there by chance or for any fanciful Miv?a. Recognizing the present, and
more new buildings and, as its trademark indicates, is reaching out for yet broader markets. Five hundred workmen are employed in making the threshers, plowing engines, and other agricultural implements which it turns out and 13 branch offices and a hundred traveling salesmen distribute them. The , wideawake officers of the company have had their eyes on the Canadian market for some time, but only recently felt justified in entering it. Their first salesman sent there met with extraordinary success. Now the Rumelys are turning toward South America with the certain knowledge that, given equal transportation facilities, their goods will soon replace those of European manufacture. During the financial depression of last year the Itumely Company stood in a class almost by itself. While other manufacturers were closing down their plants, discharging their salesmen and In every way checking expenditures, the Itumely Company kept right ou turning out machinery and selling it. The demand for its goods last year was greater than ever before. The reason why the Rumely goods sell so well is not far to seek. Meinrad Rumely, who established the business in 1S53, also established the policy of making every machine he turned out a little better than it had to be. His sons and grandsons have never deviated from that policy for a moment. The success of the products of their Immense plant lies In correct design, highest quality of materials and thorough workmanship. The machines they turn out are always the best that can be built. The Rumelys have attacked a new problem that has become actual during the last two years. Their achievement in the manufacture of successful steam plowing engines and of
mechanical tractors, will mark an era,
as did the plows of John Deere and Oliver, and the binder of McCormlck.
To-day, for the first time in the his
tory of the world, is it possible to produce power by mechanical tractors more economically than by the use of the animal body. Out oi every
hundred pounds of fuel or food more pull can be obtained from an engine
than a horse or a mule. Twenty-eight
million horses are engaged on the farms of the United States alone for plowing purposes. The motors perfected by the Rumely Inventors are
supplanting the horses wherever they are put into use. They have reduced
the cost of plowing from $1.50 to CO
cents per acre. Although operated almost continuously, the factory cannot produce engines enough.

STATE POLITICAL LEADERS DI5CÜ53 EFFECTS OF OPTION DECISION General Opinion of Republicans Is That Finding of Supreme Court Will Help Party in the Next Campaign Say Decision Has Taken the Ouestion out of G. 0. P. Politics, n
Indianapolis, Dec. 20 The decision that the county local option law is constitutional was the general topic of conversation anions those who are incerted in jolitics. Xcarly all the republicans who talked' of the subject at all believed that the fact thai the law had been held constitutional -would 1e of b'-ucnt to the republicans in the next campaign. Their argument was that the litpior question coi:Ici not be regarded as being out of politics anil there would be no need of mentioning i' in any speciric way in the next pla:trin. At least ihey relieved thtr Icasion placed the liquor question out of jxditics to NMvh an ex'er.i lha it would not be the issue in he next campaign. A few republicans rcn'ainoX pessimistic. Several dvvnocrats win! keep in close touch with .politiecal affairs admitted that it was their belief that the republican party would be greatly benefitted by the decision. State Senator K. K. Moore, of ConncTsville, -who was in the city declared that it was much better for the republicans that the option law hail been declared constitutional. "This decision," lie saV J, "takes the question out of politics as far as the. republicans are concerned, and it is much better 'that it is out of politics. If it had remained, in jvolitics it undoubtedly would have created factions in the party. "As I see it, if the law had been declared unconstitutional, here woul.ll have been a part of tlhc party desiring to (take a stand for advanced temperance legislation probably statutory statcvide -prohibition or something of the kind. On the other hand there would have been another factor expose) 1 to this and this would have caus
ed dissension in the party. E. E. Neal Pleased. K. K. Xeal, president of tbe Indiana Lincoln league, and a prospective candidate for the1 republican congressional nomination in the Xinth district, was greatly pleased when he' heard that the law had been declared constitutional. "That's g.x)'d," lie declared. "That means that the liquor question is out of politics, ami it shoul.1 have been out long ago. The county option law is a good law, and it deserves to be tried
out.
It was suggested to Mr. Neal that the democrats in their state convention, might declare for the repeal of the option law, and that this wouKl have to itake some kind of stand. "If the democrats declare for the repeal of the law," he declared, "the republicans) will sweep the state by 100,000." One republican who is active in state Klitics "but who did not wish bis name used in connection
with wliat he said declared that
the decision that the option law is constitutional 'would not help matters much for the republicans. "The democrats." he said, "will simply declare for 'the repeal of the law and that will again put the question up as an issue, and thev will sweep the state." The general opinion among republicans was, itlVougb. that the decision means much to the party. It is related that two or three days ago a number df republican leaders held a little conference in Indianapolis to talk oyer the option question- Tlney had no inkling as to what 'the -decision would be and as most politicians have been doing for several diays, they were speculating as to what
the decision might be. But the interesting part of the conference was that all agreed that if the option law shcxuKl be held constitutional it would te the very best tiling for the republican -party. In the Platforms. There was much talk as to just how far either democrats or republicans would go in their state liquor question. The belief seemed to prevail that the republicans probably would not make any specific mention of question at all. There were some who believed that the -democrats might declare for the repeal of the bv in onler to force the republicans into a delimma out some of the more conservative democrats believed their party iwould hesitate about doing this b?cause it would tgive the democratic party the reputation of being the liquor partv. Another feature of interest was that some republicans, believed that the decision of the court in this case, woidd make it more difficult for former Governor J. Krank Hanly to bring his policies before the republican state convention if he (has any idea of doing such a thing. If the option law had been hekl unconstitutional, it was stated, the path would have been clear for Mr. Hanly to go before the n -xt state convention and insist that the party declare for state-wide prohibition. There has heen much talk about Avhat Mr. Hanly will do politically in tilie future. For a time it was the talk that he would be a candidate for United States senator, but this was regard ekl as an idle rumor. About the only definite statement that has ever been made in regard to Mr. Hanly's political ideas was made by one of Iiis close friends some time ago who said- "I know that Mr. Hanly had no idea, of bein,g a candidate for United States senator or for any office- But of course I do no know whether he will wish to have a hankl in s!iaiing the policy of his party for the next campaign."
Ort and Cohn Released. Harvey Ort, proprietor of the Xickel Hotel in South Benfdi, and Louis H. Colin, a liquor agent, arrested a few ilays a.gb in Chicago in connection with the robbery of a store at Parma, Mich., in which bonds valued at $5000 were taken, 1nave been released. J. M. Logan of South Bend, the thirld man to be arresteVl in the deal, will be taken to Chicago to explain the tangle.
Offer Highshcw Reward. The St. Joseph county commissioners have offered a reward of $.00 for tUie apprehension of the nruithrer of .'Enoch Highshew, killed on the night of Xov. -I near Mishawaka. The reward was off eml after a conference between the commisioiiers and Pros. C. E. Pat tee.
CURES REMOVE DOUBT ABOUT ECZEMA CURE.
Read What Your Druggist Says About Oil of Wintergreen Compound. Druggist Chas. C. Reynolds, submits the following to the readers of the Tribune. Kor several years we have announced, with our recommendation that we had found a positive cure for eczema; a simple 'skin wash, oil of wintergreen compounded with other healing ingredients. Yet we know there are people right in this town who have oczema, ankl still 'have never tried this remedy. We have, therefore, arranged with the D. D. D. Lalxratorics of Chicago for a special offer of a trial bottlo at 23 cents instead of the $1 bottle as regularly sold. We offer this trial oottle with ourrecommendation and assurance that just as soon as the patient washes his itching skin, this mild liquid will take the itch away instantly. Charles C.
