Citizens of East Chicago and Indi-
ana Harbor are goaded to desperation
by what has grown to be an insuffer-
able pest in the cement nuisance. 1t
rs ten times worse this year than ever
before and 1t is making life in the
Twin Cities all but unbearable.
The health of the citizens is being
shattered, dispositions impaired, car
pets and furniture ruined, and the
work for which 1T is responsible has
become a most irksome hardship on
housewives and servants.
There is to be a meeting of the Com
mercial club of Indiana Harbor and
East Chicago tomorrow evening at
which the cement nuisance and means
to remedy it is to be made a special
odrer of business In order that the
meeting may be largely attended, and
something accomplished, the secretary,
each members, asking not only his at
tendance, but the attendance of his
friends and neighbors.
A committee will doubtless be APP
pointed to wait upon the officials of
the Universal Portland Cement com
pany at Burlington and demand that
something be done to abate the nuis-
the past, both from the Commercial
club and the city council, but without
result. the company putting off those
who visited them, by smooth speeches

were installed, the nuisance would be

hits the cement company, in its most
tender spot.
For the past few years the mortali-
ty by consumption has been extreme
ly great In the Twin Cities and the
death rate from this cause is greatly
increasing, among such or whom this
curse descends, who have not the
means to quit this region for more
healthful places of abode. The better
class of physicians acknowledge that
this is in quite a measure due to the
cement which is breathed and hardens
in the lungs of all who are forced TO
inhale the pest laden air some are
able to withstand it while others, less
hardy, succumb. The doubling of the
capacity of the plant at Burlington is
responsible in part for the greatly in
creased amount of cement that es-
capes and the fact that the wind has
ben from the east a great deal more
than is usual during the summer
months, is another cause.
The tremendous amount of labor the

Nawalana of East Chicago recalls the
mystery surrounding little Mary Grub
ba, five years old. who disappeared in
Gary one year ago and whose black
skeleton was found in the Eleventh
avenue swamp a month later.
Mary was last seen playing near the
border Of the swamp. A widespread
search was made for her, In Septem-
Der the 'bleached skeleton of the tot
was found in the middle of the swamp.
Without doubt the girl was lured there
and murdered. Several suspects were
arrested, but no clews were ever OBJ

Gavit maintains that the three-cent
fare clause won't be in force for two
years yet as the company was put to

that 1t will apply only to the original
limits of Gary and not to the Ridge.

Gary annexed these territories after
the franchise was passed. Hence the
three-eent fare doesn't apply to there.

in case of an automobile coming
up behind team. The parties
claim that when they come up be-
hind fellow with team he stub
bornly refuses to give any of the

of room to turn out. Now, the
law recognizes the rights of both
the man with the team and the

get bGsiness-in fact the problem
of getting and holding business is
the greatest problem in the retail
world today.
The problem of getting business
looks easy to the inexperienced,
but is in fact most difficult. A
merchant may start out personally
to drum up business, but he soon
find this very expensive. The en-
terprising merchantwill soon learn
it is far cheaper and more feasible
to deputize someone or force to
assist, Nnder his careful supervis-

What medium to use is matter
for each merchant to settle for
himself, but if we are to Judge fu-
ture success by past success there
is no question that the local news
paper is the cheapest and best
medium to use in getting and hold
ing business, all things considered.
