"Queen of the Highway"

The story of "The Queen of the
Highway" which comes to the Grand
next Monday night. is of peculiar edu-
cational value to all young America,
and particularly to the school children,
because it depicts in a realistic way
the great West as it was few years
ago, with it's rough mining camps. and
the old fashioned stage coaches which.
was the chief mode of travel in those
halcyon days.
The West as it is fondly pictured by
both artists and writer's is fast becom-
ing history of the long ago, but in the
Queen of the Highway it shows and
tells of life as it really was forty years
ago and which will never he again and
as lived by the pioneers and settlers
of the West -.

MEDICAL INSPECTION.

We acknowledge the receipt of an
epistolary objection to the medical ex-
animation of children in the schools
from a patron, but it is so bitter in
tone, it premises so unreasonable that
its publication would be unjust to
those who favor this most excellent
idea. If the conservation of the health
and lives of our children is not an ex-
cellent idea, we are at loss to know
where there is an idea worthy of con-
sideration
This is an age that demands prac-
.tical education 1t wants to be taught
not simply how to read and write, but
how to live most happily and most eff
flciently The time to learn this is at
the mothers knee and in the school
room. If the lesson be never taught
there it will never be learned
1t is pointed out that school medical
inspection and instruction are the es-
sence of practicability and this is so
for the reason that the body must be
freed from the hampering defects be-
fore the mind can be freed from the
/ letters of ignorance.
! Why do You send your boy or your
girl to school if not to bring them out
of ignorance and set their footsteps on
the right path?
1t is folly TO try to introduce the in
tricacies of fractions to child made
stupid by a growth of adenoids. 1t is
cruelty to force the art of drawing
upon child whose visual defects rem
der him incapable of realizing the
value of perspective and form.
The ancient Ounce cap in nine case:
out of ten marked a defective child
It rather should have been placed. as Z
crown of folly upon the child's teach
ers and school officials
The Ounce cap now remains only foi
those cities and counties who can b,i
won't provide or medical examination
for their school children.

XMAS TRADE PROSPECTS.

A year of comparative prosperity
for the cities of Lake county is just
about TO be brought to a close. Every
body who wanted work during the year
was able to get it. All of the small
factories and most of the larger ones
have been running steadily. although
in some cases at a reduced capacity.
Building operations have stimulated
the sale of building materials and have
made local prosperity pronounced. 1t
is estimated that there has been ST.
100000 worth of building in the Calu-
met region this year. The farmers of
the county were never more prosper
GUS than they are today They've all
got money in the bank.

A BRAVE EFFORT.

The Chicago police are making des-
perate efforts to stop vice and immor-
atty in the Windy City and though
Chief McWeeney says he doesn't
know of any gambling going on in Chi
cago, Assistant Chief Schuettler was
given carte blanche to go ahead with
up the city. Dispatches tell us that
Schuettier sicked his trusty squad on
six small newsboys who had gathered
together to shoot pennies in newspa-
per alley. After a long chase three of
the desperate little criminals" were
arrested. Hurrah for Schuettler,

cred primarily an agricultural state,
say that the merchants are all opti-
mistic and that orders for Christmas
goods are larger than ever.
There is the promise of seasonable
weather during the rest of the fall and
that means a great deal to the mer-
chant There seems to be a combina-
ton of influences to promote generous
holiday buying.
1t simply remains now for the mer-
chant to bring the people to his store
and the solution of that problem lies
in judicious advertising. The mer-
chants are doing twice the advertis-
ing they did two years ago and they
are all getting results.
The merchant who doesn't, will get

The merchant VIII odoesn't will get

they have advertised judiciously.

THE WOMAN PAYS.

By the trial of divorce suit pend
ing in Chicago court is brought home
with startling emphasis again the fact
that it is the wife, the mother. and the
children of labor sluggers and agita-

The home has to suffer.

THE FARMERS AUTOMOBILE

We note with some interest that an
other Indiana banker fears that the
country is going to the dogs because
the farmer is buying automobiles and
sometimes has to borrow the money
to do It,
The concern of the harrassed bank
er for the farmer is pitiable.
But why shouldn't the farmer buy
an auto if he has to borrow to pay
for it?
Nobody needs an auto more than he
does. AS an agricultural journal
points out
'Of all men the farmer needs the
automobile most He needs to be able
to slip into town and back while the
men rest at noon. He needs means
of having a chat with the man in the
next county, after the chores are done
at night. He needs a method of get
ting into touch with every other farm
er within radius of 100 miles. Above
all, he needs it for his lonely wife"

COLLISIONS STEADY RISE

Tolleston. the sixth ward of Gary. is
making some very material progress
this year. Once the habitat of retired
German farmers, a place of old-fash-
Toned ideas. a community of the most
staid and conservative, and at one
time the only settlement in many
square miles of sand dunes, it has now
becomes, by reason of Gary's birth. one
of the most prosperous communities
in the county
Electric lights, miles of cement
sidewalk and paved streets have come
to Tolleston. A quarter of a million
dollar sewer system is now building.
which will mean city water, sewers,
and all modern conveniences. Recent

Improvement association is another
one of its assets. The Gary board of
safety is to build fire station for a
permanent company, Carnegie
library will soon be in course of cree
ton and it will not be long until the
school board duplicates the Emerson
school with u 100000 building.
Tolleston has a level area, making
it a natural townsite. Its rail and in
terurban facilities give it cheap trans
portation. it is just south of the great
industrial mills. and with unusual quail
tiles as residential section, there is
no doubt but that its wonderful build
ing record will be even doubled in the
next few years.

manages to make little money on
