Chamber of Commerce is an organi- zation of results Not that it be- lieves its work is finished by any means, but by what has already been accomplished the laggards could see and realize what the future will bring in the way of results.
 The people of Prescott are wide awake enough, Hfst as much so as the people of any town and lot more than most of them. They are patriotic enough and loyal enough, too, but sometimes they get down to digging so hard that they forget that hard work over their own con cerns, is not all that is necessary to make city. It is necessary to get out, rub elbows, shake hands and exchange ideas and then get into the traces and pull with all the others, steadily and hard for the city as a whole.
 Prescottonians mean to do this, but they forget and ought to have it brought to their attention once in while Now that they have been reminded by the "Get-Together" dinner they will doubtless give a whoop and start the "For-Prescott- frst-and-always" movement
 Prescottonians always rise to the occasion nobly but they have to be aroused just like any other people. For the Chautauqua they came for ward nobly. They have done so in other instances and, will do so again whe:1 the necessity arises.
 There is lots of work to be done and it will require enthusiasm of the I-am-wiliing-to-work brand to get results. Much depends on the ex- ecutive ability and originality of the secretary of the Chamber (and Pres colt has one possessing both quail ications in a marked degree) but he cannot bring his plans to fruition without the cooperation of the members.
 The greatest asset Prescott has at the present time is its unexcelled climate and as President Drake pointed out in his most timely re- marks the climate if properly ex- plotted, can make this town a popu- lous city within very few years. Prescott needs people and the way to get them is to make our climatic duNdHldSSS hHONH Dy lIuhlpctlllS them through the land by advertis- ing.
 When the people come we must be prepared for them with accommo- dations in the way of cottages and apartment houses. We must be able to show them that it is an inviting field and that our mines and our lands by tickling them with the hoe of investment will yield a golden harvest. To that end, encourage ment should be given the irrigation project being financed by eastern capital and other enterprises of pith and moment which are about to be started here Capital should be en- couraged, and its efforts not dis countenanced or handicapped. The summer colony scheme is a good one and should be pushed along The experimental dry farm will in time bring settlers to the thousands of acres of vacant lands of the coun- ty and make the desert productive and yield abundantly the fruits of husbandry. The encouragement be- ing given to good roads is bound to be a profitable investment but there must be no cessation in the work that has been begun. The holding of county fair while it may not directly be a population-bringer, will be money we'll spent as it will through competition encourage the tilling of the soil to get the most fbara ic mt of # and uviii nrove oOod

SLIT SKIRT
STORY IS
POSTPONED

Nearly everything that comes out of
West Hammond has two versions and
the story about the arrest of Alderman
Fred Zimmerman and the slit skirt ar
gument has boiled down to this, which
both jurists agree is correct.
Zimmerman was arrested on the
complaint of Mrs. Jim Hansen. Now
Mrs. Hansen denies that she has ever
worn a slit skirt or that she thinks
enough of the garment to discuss its
merits, especially with a male. But
she does state that she talked to AL
derman Zimmerman on the street and
that he provoked her to securing his
arrest by using insulting language.
The case will come up in ten days
and then and not before viii the con-
versatlon come out.

The Stroller
And What He Found
In the Ginger Jar
Waited for the
Times Extras.

Hammond stayed up Saturday night
to wait for THE TIMES extras which the
city has learned to expect on the oc-
casion OF an important event such as
the democratic primaries happened to
be this year. Knowing that by the
outcome of the primaries the campaign
of other partiesiwouId in a way be de-
cided the interest was abnormal. The
newness of the primaries in the city
had a tendency to stimulate interest
also and the bitter campaign between
Mayor Smaneys friends and DR.. Ho-
watts supporters added to this.

CHILD STARTS FOR
GYPSY CAMP. NOT
seen since

What has become of little Pauline
Lawalana, five year old girl whose
home is at 424 Olcott avenue and who
has been missing since Saturday aft
ernoon at 3 o'clock.
The East Chicago police and the
police of the entire region including
South Chicago, are working on the
case which presents considerable mys-
terry.
1t was at first thought that the child
had been kidnapped by gypsies who
have camp at Whiting, but a
thorough search of the camp by the
East Chicago officers, has convinced
them that Pauline is not there.
The little was last seen at about
3 D. m. Saturday when she was play
ing in the vicinity of her home. When
her moth went to look for her not
long afterwards. she was nowhere to
be found.
Neighbors both adults and their
Ichildren sought far and near in the
vicinity, making inquiry of everybody
who they thought might have knowl-
edge OF the chi1d's whereabouts The
search continued until long after mid
night, no one, apparently thinking to
call up the police. who were not noti-
fed until 2 o'clock Sunday morning
The father of the child. who is a
millman, and the little ones mother
are frantic with fear as to her fate
1t is thought that she may have wand
cred off into the woods and become
lost. A more hopeful view of the
case, is however, that she has been
picked up by somebody who will take
care OF her until they learn to whom
| she belongs.
The little girl when last seen was
bare-footed and wore a light dress
with black spots. Her hair. which is
/ very light was held together by two
black rubber bands at the ends
| The fact that many East Chica ~
children had gone to the gypsies
camp at Whiting to see the bears and
the bonkeys which are an adjunct o.
the outfit encamped there. led to tht
belief at first that Pauline had visited
! these people and had been concealed
/! there by them
