A few more instances of the peculiar
frame OF mind during the hot spell '.the
silly season." have been evidenced in
Gary within the last few days.
Last night about ten o'clock quite a
scene was enacted near the corner of
Seventh avenue and Broadway when
well known young Gary man said to
be suffering because his sweetheart
turned him down. rushed down stairs
out OF the Moody building and pointing
a revolver at his head fired a shot The
shot missed its mark and the young
man was uninjured. A local policeman
rushed up TO the suffering youth and
wrested the weapon from him and upon
examining it he found it loaded with
blank cartridges. No arrests were
made the young man being released.

Doing Good Business.

Reports from number of Gary
merchants Indicate that they are en-
Toying a good business during the
summer months and their sales are
falling but little short of previous
months There is a tendency of late
among the people of Gary TO do their
buying at home and one who is in
a position to know says that but
little buying is being done in Chi
cago compared to what there was
some time ago.
The people of Gary are to be COM
mended if this is true. The values
offered in Gary stores cannot be
competed with, the assortment is
there. and the class of goods is equal
to those of the largest department
stores in Chicago. What more can
the purchaser desire? The Gary
merchant has come here to make his
home He has invested his money
and engaged in business. He desires
your business. Patronize your home
merchant and be one of those to
enter in the trade at home spirit

DELAY COAL
RATE RAISE

The advance in coal rates of ten cents
a ton from Indiana mines to Chicago
and other Illinois points has been sus-
pended indefinitely pending a hearing
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. The advance was to have gone
into effect this week, but postpone
nent was agreed upon by the roads I'M
til the commission had time to in
vestigate The Illinois Railroad and
Warehouse Commission will also post
pone its hearing on the coal rates for
Illinois The Illinois operators con-
tended that if the rates from Illinois
mines to Chicago were raised and not
from Indiana there would be grossdis-
elimination It is therefore necessary
for the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion TO act at the same time as the rail-
road and warehouse commission.

Two prominent saloonkeepers of
Gary We're in Hammond yesterday, and
in conversation with Hammond men
touched on the coming democratic
county convention, which is set for
Aug. 31st.
Take it from me " said one of the
Gary men. that your Chief Austgen of
Hammond can have the nomination for
county sheriff. OF course. we like Tom
Grant, but business is business, the
democratic party must have a caudi-

to be Chief Austgen."
Taking into consideration that Chief
Austgen is a regular party democrat,
that he is a man with a clean record,
and that he has shown himself efficient
as the chief of his department, and,
last but not least. that he comes from
the best democratic stronghold in Lake
county. st. John township and that
consequently he would be highly ac-
ceptable to the south end of the coun-
ty, the statements of the Gary man
are not at all illogical.
Twas Hot Yesterday.
But this is all so sudden Chief
Aastgen, while a good democrat lays
no claim to being a politician. in fact.
he seemingly stays away from party
gatherings purposely in order to quiet
any talk that he holds his position
more for political reasons than for
efficiency. There is no telling what
kind OF politician he might prove
TO be If had set his cap for the office.
Due allowance should also be made for
the fact that yesterday was hot day
and that the Gary man may have been

Secrets Of Good Advertising
Concentration Ali Important

An eight-inch advertisement in newspaper
will bring much bigger results than two-inch ad
vertisement in four newspapers.
Don't skip around from one newspaper to an i
other. Success in advertising comes from hammer
ing away at the crowd.
Pick out the newspaper which has the kind of
readers you want for customers, and then stick If
you want to make advertisement hit all you need
to do talk to the reader of the newspaperas you
talk the counter the counter to a customer.
Simply talk. That's ALL Be sincere about it.
Let your words ring true. The people will listen.
They like it.
The fact that your advertisement appears con-
tinuously in a reputable newspaper stimulates pub
lie confidence. Your shop advances step by step in
the estimation of thousands of people who may be
months in getting around to make their first pur-
chase.
Originality may be good, but advertisement
that sells goods if copied, is better.
