AMONG other little joys Is that of
being able to close up the vacation
trunk without having to take forty or
fifty extra things out of it
IF the prices of eats keep on going
pp the way they do where do you
suppose Well all be ten years hence?
1T must be disconcertfng to Brother
Lorimer to have his chee-ild dragged
out across the red-hot sizzlers once
| more.
AFTER reading over the Camorra
dispatches We philosophize that the law
| In Italy is slow. but effective. and in
| Lake county 1t is slow but-(three
guesses).
| our idea of nothing to do would be
to listen to a perspiring politician de-
liver a panacea for solving the hi kost
of living.
| HAMMOND folks are hollering for
water again. We don't want to print
here what they are always ciamoring

/ AS il is, the press sections of the
national conventions are beginning to

a dinky little basket it Is no wonder
that the housewife urges her husband
TO vote right when she recalls that be-
fore t. r. became president you could
buy a bushel of EN- for half dollar.
THE 'steemed Record Herald is get
ting SO commonplace that yesterday it
ran an article on pairing corns right on
the society page.
| THE way the laundries macerate the
collars and shirt fronts IT is no wonder
that the women insist upon doing their
own finery washing.
TO our mind nice occupation in
this hot weather would be to be the
guy that is circulating the petition ask
ing President Taft TO withdraw as the
| candidate.
IF some of the same hrilliancy that
| is being expended to swat the flies were
applied to save the flyers, aviation would
be fewer tombstones with aerop1anes
carved upon them.
FUNNY thing that just when we
thought that the convention stuff was
showed aside and a rest on the way.

SEE that gunpowder has found to be
an excellent fertilizer. So. If the sane
Fourth ever does get the strangle hold.

SOME Gary newspapers has found
that the city has population of 4o,-
600. Don't want to knock any. but an

and anyhow two years ago when the
same prophets said that 1t had 80 .00t
Uncle Sans census agents could find
but 1892. The heat does lot of queer
things, however.
WE CLEAN from Herr Knots speech
/ at Hartford City that this is his of
year for not being headed towards the
jail
WONDER if that speech. "Inilding q
City" had very many paragraphs In il
about Metropolitan brick and awarding
the contracts?
FAMOUS city builders: Pete the
| Great, Brother Pullman. Alex the Great
] East Chicago Co, Ponce de Leon. Herr
Knots and a long and distinguished
company of others.
SEE how demoralizing this no
