THE COST OF LIVING.

Last week the drivers on freight
express and furniture wagons in
Hammond received an increase in
wages, the demand having been made
through the teamsters' union. This
week their employers voted them
selves an increase in rates. There is
nothing surprising in the action of
either organization. No one need be
surprised to see another correspond
ing increase in the course of time.
The increased cost of living will
naturally bring it about. There is
no one to say now that the rates of
either organization are exorbitant.
What is the solution?
The back-to-the-land movement is
the solution. Here are intelligent
young men. in the prime of their
lives putting in ten hours a day in

originality and only brute strength.

THE REGISTRATION LAW.

A correspondent asks for informa-
ton about the Indiana registration
law Section 4 of this law provides
for registration as follows: THE
registration board of each precinct
muct, in the year of a general cleo
ton, hold three sessions, the first on
Thursday, the one-hundred-and-e igh-
tieth day preceding such election, to
be known as the May session; the
second on Friday, the sixtieth day be-
September session; the third on Mon
day, the twenty-ninth day before
such election, to be known as the Oc-
tober session The May session this
year opened on May 8. On that date
a great many voters registered. The
law provides that voter may regis
ter at any one of the three sessions.
The two remaining sessions will be
on September 6 and October T. Those
who registered on May 8, providing
they have not in the meantime NOV
ed-and do not move before election
day-need not register again. Those
who have not registered at all or
who, though registered on May 8,
since have moved, must register at
the coming sessions. If they fail to
register on September 6, or IL they
again move, a third and final oppor-
tunity to register will come on Octo-
