South Bend, self-suficient." is
the slogan that forces itself upon
the student Of the Industrial growth
Of the city With the list Of articles
made here in mind II NAV be said
that every absolute necessity of life
is produced and a fairly large num-
Der Of the Injuries. Given a supply
of raw materials and a market for
the host Of things made, il does not
offend the imagination to ceiceive
Of this city existing without assist
ance from any source whatever.
Largest in the state. in the coun-
try, in the world, are favorate
phrases with local factories. and the
production figures that are author
lied can be given TO substantiate the
claims presented. No city in the
world can compete when IL comes TO
the making of agricultural imple-
ments nor in the making OF toys
Besides these two specialties il is
only fair to mention shirts, sewing
machine cases, underwear, ranges,
boxes, and there are other products
which are made exclusively in this
city.
A circular published by the
Chamber of Commerce is authority
for the statement that South Bend
has the largest pillow factory in the
world, the worlds largest toy fac
tory, the worlds largest clover
huller plant, one Of the world rs
greatest shirt factories. the worlds
largest sewing machine case plant,
one Of the largest watch factories in
this country, one OF the largest
underwear mills in the world. the
largest concrete block machinery
factory in America, the largest eX-
elusive mems underwear mills in
America, the largest paper box fac
tory in Indiana and one Of the larg-
est in the world. one OF the largest
kitchen range plants In the world.
No mention is made here Of pat
ented articles which by the, prOtec-
ton offered are made in this city
exclusively and which make up a
list too large TO be used

has made sudden and great strides

The central location as a shipping
point, the many transportation lines,
the nearness TO material markets
make South Bend a desirable loca-
ton. The beautiful st. Joseph river
with its thousands OF horse power
when harnessed meant the solving
OF an important problem. This lat
ter has been developed and aug
nented by electrical generating
plants that reduce power cost and
assure an abundance of economical
motive force to turn the wheels Of
the industries. no matter how many
or how large.
First Factory Building.
The first building erected in this
city for manufacturing purposes was
located near the intersection Of
Division and Taylor SITS. IL was a
frame building. about so feet by so
feet. with an extension and was
built in 1S36. II was Constructed
for a glass manufacturing establish
ment which was started by a COM
pany of which John Brownheld.
John T. McClelland and Johnson
Horrell were the chief members
An expert glass man had come
from the east named samuel John
b son and finding an excellent quality
OF sand in this vicinity, he expert
mented with il. became enthusiastic
over its glass making qualities, and
induced the above named men TO
embark in the manufacture OF
glass.
IL was found, however. when too
late. that the clay. which was an
important factor in glass manu-
facture. could not be obtained at
any reasonable price and trans
portatiOn rates were so eXorbitant
that the enterprise could not prove
profitable and il was soon abandon
ed.
The first mandatory located
here which achieved success and
permanency was that of Eiakim
Briggs. who was the patentee and
manufacturer of travelling
threshing machine" His first fac
tory was located at the northeast
corner or Michigan and Jefferson
sts.. and was propelled by a large
windmill erected on the premises.
John Smdebaker. the father Of
1he present Studebaker corporation.
was also early engaged in business
here and soon after his arrival in
South Bend he opened a wagOn re-
pair and blacksmith shop.
James oliver. T. NJ. Bisseu and
Eeorse Milburn Of Mishawaka early
started pillow making here and after
several y6 rs the company passed
into the hands OF Mr. oliver Mr..
Bissell embarking in a company OF
his own later.

The case fof Oscar Ringstrom charged with violating the motor ve- hicle law was postponed until tomor- row morning in court today. Ring strom was arrested last evening on East Main street by Policeman Will liam P. McCue for failing to have his motorcycle side-car properly regis tered. The markers on the motorcycle were correct but there were no spe- cial markers on the side car as the law requires. Ringstrom is employed by the Hartford water works.

Gin, Please.

New Haven.-Another blow was handed out to John Barleycorn when retail liquor dealers announced that the price of gin had gone up to 20 cents a drink. Those who, wish half pint flasks will in the future pay 50 cents instead of 40, the price to which the liquor was raised when the war tax was levied.
 This, so it is said. is but a prelude to an increase in the price of whiskeY and it is predicted that, when the holidays come, the price of this drink will go to 25 cents for the bar variety, with 40 asked for special brands which are sold from the bottle. The increase in the price of gin is asked on the grounds that it is not now being distilled in such quantities as formerly and dealers do not wish to lay in any great stock of it because of the slight demand in comparison to other drinks.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
 ASSISTS SUFFERERS
FloOd-Stricken Section of Tien-Tsin a
 Scene of Wild DeSOlat1On and PrivatiOn.

Picking, Nov 7-The American Red
 Cross has appropriated an additional l $75,OOO for assistance of the flood ] sufferers. in the >Tien-Tsin district 1 The money will be employed on the 1 building of a highway from Picking | to Tien-Tsin.
 At least 200, 900 square miles of land
 in the southern and central portions of Chihli Province are under water as result of torrential rains in the mountains of Shansi, Honan and
 Western Chihli provinces which have
 poured their floods into the shallow
 streams of the Chihi Plain, driving
 100000 Chinese from their homes. These streams converge together with the Grand Canal, at Tien-Tsin, the commercial port of North China, and the distributing center for a popula- ton of more than 1OO,O00,00O. More than half of the area of this city of
 100000 inhabitants is under water. varying in depth from one to six feet.
 Rains are continuing and it is esti-
 mated that the flood water will not subside for at least a month, even if the rains cease.
 The Pei Ho, which is the single stream through which all the water courses centering at Tien-Tsin ord1n- arily discharge toward the ocean is wholly inadequate to carry of the flood water It is estimated by the Chinese Conservancy Board that the head of water delivered to the Pei Ho by the Grand Canal and various other streams is forty times greater than the river can accommodate. Con- | seuuently all low land within radius of 30 or 40 miles east south and west of the city, is f1oode\ Along 1 the Pluto Ho, the Hon HO and less inn | portant streams feeding the Pei no | there have been terrible losses of life and property Hundreds of villages have been wiped out entirely. More than 100000 refugees from outlying districts have already made their ] way into Tien-Tsin on sanpans and rafts, and all bring stories of terrible | devastation.
 The Yellow River, a tremendous stream which now enters the sea 100 miles south of Tien-Tsin formerly had l it's mouth only twenty miles from this l city. Through breaks in the dikes along the Yellow River f1oodwater from that stream has found it's way into the Grand Canal by the way Of the Wei River and is adding to tho 1 tremendous torrent now delivered by
 the Grand Canal to the Pei Ho. 1 Farmers on the south side of the l Yellow River are reported to have | cut the dike on the opposite side of
 the stream to protect their own land.
 Government engineers have been un-
 able to mako any extensive survey of
 the flooded districts as yet because ot
 the difficulties of transportation. Big
 and small streams are all so swollen
 that travel overland is impossible.
 Potingfu, the capital of Chihli
 Province, and many other important
 cities and towns in Central Chthl, are
 also flooded. But the railway south
 from Picking to the Yangtszc Rive. \ is washed out in many places. Con-
 sequently North China is wholly with out rail connection and river com- munication with Shanghai at present

CTS, if there are any in New Britain, enlist while they have a chance. We, leave Hartford Thursday. Act be- fore it is too late." he concluded.
 Lieutenant Chevalier proved like wise to be an energetic speaker and declared that if there are any British CTS in this city who are hiding from the American draft on the grounds that they are aliens and subjects of Great Britain he does not care to rec ognize them as fellow countrymen He explained how. during the first days of the war, the German morale, then at it's height, was superior to that of the British army, but now things have been reversed and the morale of the Allied forces is the best. If at the beginning of the war all the eligible Britishers and Cana dians had enlisted the war might have been over by now, the speaker said. The speaker likewise declared that, to use the words of Theodore Roose- welt, the Allies are not fighting war for democracy, they are fighting for their own salvation and their own existence as nation. Referring to the war situation today Lieutenant Chevalier said that it is the worst that it has been for a long time and a supreme effort must be made to establish the superiority of the Allies again on the Italian front.
 In conclusion, he urged all Amer jeans to try and persuade any of their British friends to enlist. But don't use the word stacker. he advised. for the word stacker will not become gen. eral until after the war. Then the man who has done his bit can come back, look any other man in the eye and-if necessary-tell him to go to he'll.
