Inventions and WAR.

1t has been said that there is no in
vention which has ever been made, and
none which could be made, which
would not have some bearing on the
art of war. A few recent examples
are balloons, airships, aeroplanes, au-
tomobiles, motor bicycles, CONDENSED
foods and wireless telegraphy. And
the wireless telegraphy and telephony
bids fair to be the most important
modification of the nerves of the fight
ing brain ever made.-C. H. Claudy, in
st. Nicholas.

In giving the state agricultural COL
lege an appropriation of $780, more
than it received two years ago, the
legislature has not only been generous.
1t has been just. There is nothing
that means quite so much for the fu-
ture prosperity of Kansas than the
continued development of this institu-
ton. The only regret in this connec-
ton is that large as the appropriation
is it might well have been larger.

There does not seem to be the ac-
tivity that there should be in this
country in extending aid to the famine
and plague sufferers in China. The
pr liabilities are that more than
100000 Chinese will die by famine
and plague unless prompt and gener-
Gus aid is given them from the out
side world. The people of the United
States have always been generous in
extending aid to sufferers in every
cline. Some is now being given to the
hard-pres5ed Chinese. But it is not
as extensive as it should be.

The Use of Tobacco.

James R. Day, chancellor of SYRIA
cuse university, who thinks that Rock
efeller is great man and Roosevelt a
chump, breaks long silence by say
ing that he doesn't understand the use
Of tobacco
We refer him to the works of John
Locke.
That famous author of the Essay on
Understanding fully understood and
expressed his ideas on the subject in
these words:
Bread, or tobacco, may be neglected;
but reason recommends their trial, and
custom makes them pleasant"
Lord Bacon, the ''wisest of man
kind was a smoker; and Milton,
whose soul was like a star" comfort
ed himself with a quiet pipe OF Vir-
gi-.ia leaf at eve, when fallen on EVIL
tongues and evil days"
Byron both chewed and puffed.
Tobacco, used with moderation, tran
quilizes the overstrained mind of the
mature man of letters; makes the toll
worn laborer forget his aches; is the
sailors delight, the soldiers joy, and
the contemplative persons recreation.
Have you match ?-Boston Globe.
She Got IincoIn's Autograph.
At a lodge in Philadelphia a group

were telling stories about Lincoln.
"My wife collected autographs, "
said one. "She once wrote to Lincoln
for a sentiment and his autograph,
and she got in reply note that ran:
"'Dear Madam: When you ask
from a stranger that which is of in
terest only to yourself, always inclose
a stamp. There's your sentiment, and
here's your autograph.

HAS BROAD SCOPE.
The Smith-Bader-Davidson Co. is or
ganized along the same lines. However
It's interests are more extended. The
company has offices In Whiting and
Gary and banks in East Chicago
Galius J. Bader. one of the moving

tor Of the First National Bank Of

Ostensibly g. j. Bader has only pro-
motors interest in the new Laporte
Trust & Savings Bank. The moving
spirit in this institution is DIR. Edward
Rumley of the NJ. Rumley Co.. of La
porter. manufacturers of machinery.
Charles Simon is another of the prin-
cipal promoters of his institution.
But Bader's connection with this in
stitution and his dictatorship of the
new bank will put him In touch with i
number of millionaire capitalists in La
porte and Michigan City. Fred ]. Smith
of the Smith-Bader-Davidson Co. Is
also an owner OF stock in the new
Laporte bank.
G. j. Bader has large interests In
Gary. The firm is counted one of the
most substantial and progressive In the
new steel city. 1t occupies a handsome
suite of Offices on Broadway.
While the Bader banks have not
reached the stage of development OF
the Hammond institutions they are To-
Gated in such thriving and growing
cities as East Chicago, Toleston and
Indiana Harbor and as these cities
grow they will increase in power and
influence.
The organization of the Laporte Saw
ing & Trust Co. is then one of the mos,
significant moves that has been made
in financial circles in this locality. II
extends and broadens the interests OF
local capitalists and seems destined to
make the cities of Whiting, East Chit
cago and Hammond the center of wide
spread financial enterprises.

Gallus J. Bader, a director in four
banks and the president of three of
them, has associated himself with
large capitalists in Laporte, Ind. and
has organized the Laporte Trust &
Savings Bank with 100000 capital
stock and $25 900 paid in surplus.
The significance of this, the latest
banking project to be announced in
this locality. is that the Smith-Bader-
Davidson Co. of Whiting. East Chi
cage and Gary has become m of the
two powerful financial crowds in
northern Indiana.
These two crowds are known as the
Observation-Disclosures crowd and the
