Christmas Presents

For reasons of sentiment and econ
omy it is often preferable to fashion
Christmas presents for brothers at
home. A few suggestions are given
for articles that combine the three
qualities Of attractiveness, usefulness
and inexpensiveness.

Something Clever In Penknives.

The question of really attractive
gift for man is solved to some extent
by novelty in the way of penknife.
The new idea is silver knife Of the
finest quality. with an emblem worked
out in colored French enamels inserted
in the case.
The insignia Of his college society or
his crest is attractively wrought in COL
ors. making the little keepsake some
thing quite out of the usual run. Girls
who are adept at making arts and
crafts jewelry would find no difficulty
in working the emblems into the silver
nenknife

A Novelty In Leather.

One Of the new leather triple cases
for bills and all manner Of memoranda
would be a fine Christmas present.
The top case holds a thin, shallow
watch which has white surface and
black lettering. 1t is large and distinct
and is readily seen and so thin that it
does not make bulge in the case.

Soldier Suit For Small Bows,

Boys from six to twelve years of ago
always love to play at soldering, so
why not make one Of them a sure
enough rough rider suit in which to
indulge his warlike proclivities? There
are patterns on the market that make
such a suit simple garment to manu-
facture. The material used is khaki,
with brown trimmings. The suit con-
sists Of jacket and regulation long
trousers. The jacket has number Of
pockets with pointed overlaps. The
same pattern trimmed with red and
yellow cotton strips cut up into fringe
could easily be transformed into an
dress the costume would be complete.

Necktie Holder.

Necktie holders are not new things
in the way Of gifts. but they have the
advantage Of being useful and always
acceptable. Two or three such affairs
are not too many for the collection Of
ties the college boy or up to date man
has among his numerous belongings.
The newest necktie holder that has
been brought out for Christmas is
oval in shape and about foot or
more in length. 1t is made Of stout
piece of cardboard. which may be pur-

and at a number Of other points.
Greatest at Gary.
Perhaps at Gary, there has been the
greatest additional investment in new
construction. The plans of the Indi-
ana Steel company have been greatly
increased, and nearly all completed
parts placed in full operation. It is not
known whether or not the low figured
cost of production has yet been fully
realized at this plant, but with the ex-
ceptional facilities being installed.
there would seem to be no reason why
these should not be beaten when the
plants are placed in full swing, with a
fully completed organization of work
men.
This notable addition to Indiana
manufacturing industries will represent
a total investment of $100.00o,000 in
plant, harbor and civic improvements.
Already plans are on foot for the con-
struction of other large plants at this
point that will consume some of the
products of the Gary mills in their own
production with Indiana labor, to a
further higher value. the raw mater

Auto Industry Growing.
In the automobile industry is noted
the greatest individual activity, and
with the new racing and testing track
at Indianapolis, there seems to be no
reaso nwhy Indiana should not be TAX
ing justly earned place as the leadin g
state in automobile manufacturing. All
motor car factories are full of orders,
working over time and bidding high
prices for skilled labor. Indeed. it is
a much debated question as to whether
or not we are bringing along with
suffcitnt rapidity the class of mechan-
| les that are being required to maintain
! the necessary high mechanical standard
| of these industries. In such times as
| the present, a very poor grade Of me-
chanics is able to command the wages

Heart toHeart
Talks.
JUST A-PRIvATE.
By EDWIN AWE.


Peter Brittin, a stockyard commits
sion man of Chicago, died few weeks
ago.
He had history.
Back in 1861 Brittin landed at Cas-
tie Garden fresh from Germany.
He went direct to Wisconsin, where
he had job working on farm.
Then Lincoln called for volunteers.
One day the little German heard the
drums beating up for volunteers
saw the flag and the crowd and got a
gun and started south with the others.
He could speak no word Of English.
He didn't know any better than to
stand on the firing line in front of the
bullets and got eight separate wounds
at different times. Each time when
the doctors fixed him up he grabbed
his gun and stood up for more.
Like the legendary cat. Peter Brittin
seemed to have nine lives.
Once they left Peter on the battle
neglected and helpless. Finally the ne
gro hostler of a surgeon brought him
some water.
Don't bother with that little Dutch
man." said the surgeon; hell die any
| way"
Perhaps Peter would have died that
time If kind Confederate surgeon had
| not found him and nursed him back to
life.
| Peter got away before his wound
was healed, found his company, got
his gun and never stopped fighting I'M
til somebody told him the war was
over
Peters name was never mentioned
in the newspaper dispatches.
He was just private.
He was Of that grand army, Federal
and Confederate, Americans all. who
touched elbows with each other
through dust and mud and under
brassy skies-just privates, to be piled
in great windows after the battles
that made generals famous.
Peter Brittin had no bitterness in
him as a Union soldier. He simply
| fought because he was built that
way.
And when the war was over and he
understood it all and remembered the
kindness of the Confederate surgeon
and nurses there was no feeling in his
heart against the gallant men whom
he had fought There was only a surg
ing sense Of fraternity and brotherly
love-
He was just a private.
And he was a fine type OF the Amer
! lean citizen who fights hard when b,
!. fights, but who always fights fair and
who dearly loves generous foe.

With the natural resources of In

UP AND DOWN IN INDIANA
WON'T ASK FoR 1NcREAsE.

WON'T ASK FOR INCREASE.
Fifteen committeeman representing
the 900 members of the Order of Rail-
way Conductors on the fifteen divisions
of the Louisville & Nashville railroad
decided in Evansville not to agitate
any increase in wages this year. The
unpopularity of the switchmen's strike
on the northwestern lines and the
probable demand to be made by east
ern road conductors for advances
caused the decision.

FEET FROZEN IN JAIL.

FLOOD ENDANGERS PEOPLE.
Biddie's Island in Logansport, on
which several hundred people reside, is
in danger Of inundation as a result
of the rapid rise of the Wabash and
the possibility of ice gorges forming
below the island.
PATIENTS ARE SAVED.
The lives of eight patients in the
Bedford City hospital were saved early
Wednesday by the heroic action Of one
woman. who. although only recently
operated upon, prevented fire. When
the danger had passed she collapsed
and is now in serious condition.

WHY PORK is HIGH.
DR.. A. F. Bolser of Noblesville, in a
paper at the fourteenth annual meet
ing of the Indiana Veterinary asso-
citation in the state house, stated that
one of the principal reasons why pork
is so high is because of the ravages Of
hog cholera. In the last few years.
he said, thousands upon thousands of
hogs have succumbed to the disease,
and that it Is time that action be taken
to prevent further destruction.
