SOWING WILD OATS.
"Oh, he will settle down all right
when he has sown his wild oats"
But Will he?
And what will the harvest be?
There is popular impression that
youth-male. not female, youth-must
have its fling; that the sowing is nee
essary experience in the evolution of a
man.
But If So
Why not let the girl also sow wild
oats? why not let her gain her expe-
rience in scattering evil?
"Oh. that's different" you say.
How different? What has the boy to
gain by the knowledge and practice of
evil that girl may not gain? If the
boy may sow with reckless hand and
then settle down TO an exemplary life
why not the girl also?
What about the whirlwind?
He-or she-who sows wild oats must
reap wild oats-not wheat. What
ever a man soweth that shall he also
reap" And
Not only must he reap the sort Of
grain he sows. but more than he sows.
Evil propagates evil. A grain of wheat
will stool out" in the growing. pro-
ducing many stalks for the reaping.
which makes a tough harvest.
1t is hard work. this harvesting of
evil seed The stalks are tough and
tangled, and the sweat must pour from
the faces of the harvesters.
Young man
Many a man of middle age who has
fought his way out of the snarled bar

hand If he could blot the scars and
memories Of that reaping. When he

| You will come out all right?
1t is sincerely TO be hoped you may,
but you will be a weaker man than
you might have been. The odds are
against you. The tangle of the weeds
and tares-the intertwisted mat of the
harvest-may hopelessly entangle you.
! Whatsoever" not something else!
And you will reap not only that much
but more.

law of gravity or the law of crystalliza-

THE WANT AID.

The Classified Column" stands for
opportunity
1t means position for the unem-
ployed and help for the employer
But to the growing. healthy cities
of the Calumet region such as Gary.
East Chicago, Hammond and Indiana
Harbor are today, it represents some
thing far more important than these
details. 1t means motion, life. spirit,
growth.
In comparison with the street
corner bulletin of hundred years
ago. or the expensive employment
agency of more recent development,
1t is like a traction engine compared
to ring-boned horse or to a trans
Atlantic cable compared to message
cast. into the sea in a sealed bottle.
The Classified Column enables a
man who finds himself without en-
ployment in the morning to read the
name of his new employer in the
noon paper.
1t enables the busy office man who
finds his stenographer becomes i'll at
the beginning of a business day an
other helper at his desk before even
ing.
The stagnation of business that
would otherwise result is forestallei
by the Classified Column. Rheuma-
tism of the office, apoplexy of the
daily correspondence and all sorts of
Inflammation, dizziness, loss of sleep,
mental depression and commercial
inertia are conquered by this SOW

THEY COULD BEAT IT.

Heralded as a model piece of the
law the Proctor liquor statute, FORM
ulated by the breweries and passed at
the recent session of the legislature
turns out to be about as unwieldy and
contradictory piece of business that
was ever engrossed upon the statute
books of Indiana.
The way the statute has mixed Up
things in this county suggests that
when the next liquor law is drafted
that the task be given to the sopho-
more law class down at Valparaiso

GET A DEFINITE PARK PLAN.

The improvement of Hammond's
parks has gone on in haphazard.
do-as-you- please fashion. Had 1t not
been for the fact that A. w. Warren
used rare good Judgment as it's
southernmost end is now being made.
The custodians of Hammond's
parks, have no idea of landscape
gardening. The city's good money is
being spent for grading and i'm
provements that will some day have
to be changed
The city now has under considera-
ton a plan for the improvement of
the Riverside park In the east part
of the city. Although Chicago's ex-
perienced landscape artists, made a
plan for the park their suggestions
are being ignored and a crude plan
is being adopted in it's stead
The adoption Of poor park plan
ming Is worse than no plan at all for
it's simply involves the expense of
changes that will have to be made
sooner or later
| The city could well afford to spend
| $500 in having a landscape artist
make a plan for the new east side
park. 1t would be money saved in
the end. The present park custod-
ians If it is really necessary to retain
their services in place of those of a
man who has modern ideas on the
subject, could at least be told to carry
out the ideas of the landscape archi
tect.
The first thing that ought to b.
done In Harrison park, for instance
is to plant a foliage screen that vii
cut off the Monon railroad from view
Such a screen would also help tt
