In regard to the remarks of one Of
our leading contractors which was
heard on the streets and was printed in
THE TIMES. In regard to the Romanians
and aliens, first. does he stop to con-
slider from who he gets his contracts
from that class of people or the
American citizens. And for their
responsibility, what is responsibility
where twenty more men live in one
shack and one woman answers for
house wife for the lot Look at the
conditions of the Standard district.
Does the city have their trouble there
or from the American citizens OF Ham
mond? Again all true the aliens and
Romanians bank their money, but this
contractor cannot receive no contracts
from that money either and If he stops
to consider his work is paid for by the
Americans And last but not least If
these aliens are so respectable. would
this contractor wish his family to as
aociate with them as an American born
citizen? 1 would not.

What a dazzling and brilliant
scene the opening Gary's new theatre
must have presented to some of the
awe-stricken scribes of the Gary
newspapers. The historian of the
steel city at some future date will re-
feet on the scene that dazzled the
eye the music that charmed the ear,
and the fragrance that pleased the
nostrils of these inspired writer's.
Read this specimen from the Gary
Post:
"........ the musicians clothed
in their full dress suits blended
well into the evenings scene. Gary
was there en- masse. and every one
was happy from the wealthiest in
the boxes and on the main floor to
the most humble in the last row of
the gallery. On the main floor and
in the boxes was display of
gowns and Jewels that was
credit to the society life of the
city. The menfolk, too. were
dressed in the conventional black
dress suit. The many colors In the
gowns and head dresses of the
women made beautiful sight un-
der the soft glow of the many cleo
trio lights.
"Gary's elite were on hand in
full force to do honor to the open
ing of the new stheater."
If the writer of the Post was over
come by the sight of Gary's elite en-
masse in the boxes, the pit, and the
galleries the dramatic critic of the
Gary Tribune was doubly affected BY
the scene OF magnificent grandeur Oh
all sides of him.
We read in the Tribune:
Gary knew that 1T had grown
up into real cityhood when Broad

FOR KAFIR CORN
$4,000 BUSHELS SHIPPED FROM
WEATHE ERFoRD TO EUROPE
LAST YEAR,
THE DEMAND IS UNLIMITED
cottrell Asks Cooperation Of the Ok
ahoma City Chamber Of Com
mercc In Increasing

Oklahoma has found a new market
for kaflr that can be developed to as
simulate 75,00O,OO0 bushels. It has
been show. a,at Oklahoma farmers
can make twice as much by feeding
kadr as by selling it, but that these
not wishing Ia feed can sell all they
can raise for the European market
next year, is the opinion Of those who
have investigated the markets.
W. A. Brooks, chairman of5the agri-
cultural committee of the Oklahoma
City chamber OF Commerce. has re-
ceived letter from H. NJ Cottrell Of
the Rock Island, giving data secured in
Galveston. relating to foreign ship
ments Of kafr and suggesting that the
matter of exploiting the market be
taken M by the Chamber OF Com
merce through the department Of
state at Washington.
During December, $4,000 bushels OF
kahr from the Weatherford Okla,
district were shipped from Galveston
to Liverpool and Antwrep. There are
now 100000 bushels Of kafr in stor.
age at Galveston for shipment TO
Europe Prices have been asked on
10000 bushels to be shipped to
Havre. France, and on $4,000 bushels
for shipment 10 German points. Ship
pers OF Galveston are confident that
the total shipment Of kahr to Europe
by July l will amount to 100000 bush
els.
Tests are being made by the gov
ernment to see if kafir can be used
to make the bread needed by the Ger
man army It is said that the value
Of kafr is not well known in Europe
now, but that because Of the shortage
Of corn during the past few years
consumers are beginning 70 investi-
gate kafir as a substitute.
v Fl ghoffelmayer. editor Of the
Southwest Trail" ascertalned that l.
100000 bushels Of kair have been
shipped from Galveston to New York
during the past year and there is a
strong demand for It along the eastern
coast
It is proposed that the Chamber Of
Commerce take up the matter,
through the department Of state at
Washington with American consuls in
Europe calling the attention Of the
European markets to the value Of
kafr and the large supply available in
this country. This new market, It is
believed, will eliminate the objections
that some have raised to the increase
uf kahr acreage in this state as the
surplus not used for feeding here can
be exported.
