A GOOD TURN DAILY.

We wonder il you have ever gone TO one Of those
Boy Scout or Wolf Cub meetings where the young lads
each tell of one good turn they have done during the
week? They are supposed, you know. to do one every
day. If you haven't you've missed something. 1t would
DO your heart good 10 hear the astonishing variety of
things q boy can do. These good turns you must know
may not be inside the family circle. That's duty and
not a good turn. Listen TO some OF them: Il picked up
a broken bottle in the street; 4 ran an errand for a
sick lady: L helped a woman carry some of her par
cells home; Il burned up a lot of papers in the alley
and so on.
Imagine the good turns done by hundreds Of boys in
a town in the course of a week, Imagine them vieing
with each other day by day in inventiveness. You can
see yourself what the general effect viii be in a COM
munity. How it will influence and mould the lives of
these fine boys. Think of the men it will make OF them
In the future. Figure it out for yourself the service in
years TO come in a thousand communities where boys
are doing this sort of thing
And. by the way, what is there to prevent fathers
from doing good turns? What a magnificent thing if
the men, women and girls Of a community were to be-
come infected with the contagion! Suppose each one
Of US were 10 do one good turn a day. 1t wouldn't eake
long. The too busy excuse wouldn't work worth a
cent. \ good turn needn't take a moment. 1t is the
tonic effect on life that would result therefrom. The
cary thought Of wondering il we could do a good turn,
what we could do and al the end of the day wondering if
we had done a good turn would have a psychic influence
on life itself. 1t would obtain for a happier world. a
more cheerful life for all OF US. It would tend 10 battle
the old Devil who puts pitfalls in the way of Gods crea-
lures. Why. if half the people on this old earth were TO
do good turns each day poor Satan and his crew of dark
ness would be so Disconnected and habbergasted that
the lower regions would be a hell Of a place to live in.

WHY NOT HAMMOND?

Down at Kittsning, Pa. the mining company has
given the Scouts the use OF 20 acres of land on which
is a log cabin so by % feet with a kitchen and a ~
fireplace. This cabin also contains three tiers Of hunks.
The same company Is arranging TO seal a spring and
pipe the water to the cabin.
From Detroit comes the news that George y. Brady
has given the Scout Council the use OF a beautiful estate
equipped with four log cabins, a cook house, drill field
with flag pole and ample water.
Mrs. Allen Thomas has donated a primitive home
with accessories TO the Scouts of Dayton. Ohio. This is
located about FIVE miles outside the city limits.
East Chicago Scouts are happy in the use Of a tract
of land and just now are building a weekend" camp
where the Executive and such S~coutmasters as can get
away will spend weekends with Scouts from various
Troops.
The above are just a few of the many instances
where kind-hearted persons have come TO the front with
aid for the Scouts In this way. We are wondering who
will be the friend TO Hammond Scouts in this matter.
The Hammond Scouts need a bit of land with shelter
suitable for overnight where Scoutmasters and Scouts
can occasionally spend an evening together in safe and
comfortable surroundings.
Surely among the citizens OF Hammond who are
interested in this wonderful organization of boys there
must be some person or persons willing to give or even
let the organization use such land as is suitable for a
camp site.
Nearly every day we hear Of such reports OF dona-
lions of camp sites as above. CAN THIS EVER HAP
pen IN HAMMOND? WE'VE o H BOYS. GIVE
Us THE LAND.

i'm HAMS LAST EFFORT.

The funniest thing about the return of President
Wilson for a little visit TO his country was the up-stsnd
ing in the senate OF the omnipresent and Ubiquitous J.
Ham Lewis in all the glory OF his mauve spats and
cerise Whiskers. Jim Ham leaped upon the PROSTATE
forms of Senators Borah and Reed. He screamed as he
leaped. with the hope that as he screamed the reverb
eTations would reach Boston harbor where his master,
retinue and thirty-six packing cases Of presents from
royalty were being escorted down the gangplank.
jim Ham had timed his oratory SO that Il would get
on the wires about the time of the royal entry. but IN
fortunately the Illinois Senator forgot that he could only
get a line where his master would get a column. and
the last heard from Washington just faded away into
a whisper as he realize his dilemma.

PLAY FAIR WITH INCOME TAX.

Many people find that the making of an income tax
return is a bothersone matter consuming much time.
They get srouchy about it. The law might be made
much clearer. Yet it Is hard to draw up in advance any
statement that will settle the infinite number of ques-
tons that will arise. Each case involving doubtful
points must be analysed by itself, says the Lafayette
Journal.
If ones return is at all complicated, it is the better
policy TO pass the buck" to the income tax deputy. tell
hin the facts, and let him make the return.
II is believed that many people who should have a
taxable income are not reporting it. Others don't dare
ignore the law altogether. but they minimize their gains
and exaggerate their losses, give themselves the benefit
Of every doubt. As a whole their return is more or less
dishonest. There are many people who would do the
square thing in any business transaction with their neigh

Some of US think its nice to be a county officer. Is
it? Take the county treasurer. 1t il $50 p. N. The county
treasurer's office in the courthouse is alight from foor

ford. the whirlwind campaigner. And we learn that
from September to June. ten months in the year. the
county treasurer and his efficient deputy put in two or
three hours night work. When YOU go home at four, five
or six, as the case NAV be, your days toll IS over, bur not
so the county treasurer. we have 10 do it TO keep up,
says Bradford. with one OF those earto-esr grius, or
we'd be in a fine mess" And still he finds time TO keep
in close touch with all the influences that touch the
work from the outside world-the legislature for in
stance. Just now Brad is giving a good deal OF time TO
the new highway bill. and the tax bill. He doesn't wait
until they are put into effect. but works out the problems
they present. and the good Lord knows they are many,
before they become laws. You'd be amazed how that
tax bill affects Lake County industry, business. railroads
and banking It's a mighty serious proposition for Lake
County. And if you go down 10 indianapolis and talk
with SO out Of 100 legislators you'll find that old Ralph
Bradford is better posted on il than they are.
And still some fellows will tell YOU a county job is

on earth. If you refuse to pay your honest share Of the
cost OF running the government that gives such great
blessings. YOU prove yourself an unworthy citizen and
foul your own nest.
The man who is yellow in a small way in his deal
ings with the government. is likely TO find the crooked
tendency creeping into his other human relations. Any
one who makes a sincere and fair tax return has the
satisfaction of feeling that he has contributed his due
share to the maintenance of the great American prin
ciples, and that he is doing his part TO support the SUI
perb institutions for which America stands.

This is a government by the people, and the people are
to blame ultimately if they are misrepresented, just eM
actly as much as If their worst passions, their worst.Ge-
