The bank statement was a rather color
less document and while its publication
was followed by an increase in the vol
ume of selling orders. this did not result
directly from anything in the figures. but
merely meant that the bears felt more at

there was nothing in the local money

a lot of luggage.
The TIMES is fortunate, indeed, In
having the promise of Mrs. Bell as
chaperone The families OF the win
ming contestants will not worry about
their daughter or sister if the party is
entrusted to her care. and the ladies'
of the party may rest assured that she
will make every day of the trip the
very jolliest possible. Accompanying
the special. will be representative of
the LAKE COUNTY TIMES whose every eff
fort will be to fiji every want OF the

pressed.
The presence of these two represen-
ia tives of the TIMES will relieve from
the minds of the ladies every possible
worry and care and they can enjoy the
trip from the time they leave Hammond
till they have finished their trip.
Remember. If you have friend who

tunity will be given any of them who
have this trip in mind to help decide
upon the route.
AS the party will be at the exposi-
ton several days there will be plenty
of time to decide upon the side trips
that they may desire to take individ-
tally after they arrive there.
1t is said that one of the splendid
things about the location of the James
town exposition is the fact that it is
In such close proximity to such places
as Old Point Comfort, Fortress Mon
roe the navy yards and other points of
interest that no one misses when they
take a trip east.
It has been practically decided to
make the date Of leaving for James
town, August l, although this date
may be changed later on The date
will also have to be arranged to suit
majority of the young ladies who are
to take the trip.
In a few days a conference will prob
ably be arranged at which all who ex-
pect to take the trip will be repre-
scented and then great many matters
Of this kind will be decided.

It must be admitted that the people

but they were only disappointed be-
cause they had been led TO believe that
there would be at least 10000 peo-
pie in the city when the facts are that
there were only in the neighborhood
OF a thousand strangers. including the
Woodmen previously in camp.
Otherwise they were satisfied with
the celebration. A great many Ham
mond people stayed in the city yester-
day on account of the encampment
when they would ordinarily have gone
elsewhere
In fact the Hammond people made
the celebration what it was. There
were hundreds Of them out and they

as possible and no pains will be spared
to give the tourists the time of their
lives.
The personnel OF the party has a
great deal to do with the success of
journey of this kind and the LAKE

such a fine lot of young ladies to rep
resent them on this easter tour
These young ladies together with the
others who have already decided to go
will make up a party of which Ham

various reasons will remain in Ham
mond will be interested in reading the
accounts of the adventures enroute.
There will be more definite informa-
ton about the route and the stopping
places on the way published as soon
as possible.
Already some Of the young ladies are
making preparations for the trip and
as the date of leaving is only a few

OF the most attractive that has been
held here in years. Nearly every bust

hundred uniformed Woodmen in line.
The line OF march was too long though
and before all OF the tortuous route
had been traversed the marchers had
done about all the celebrating they
were inclined to do that day.

several years.
From the standpoint OF the Ham

has been a success although not as

were here viii inform other hundreds

that trip to Virginia should include
in addition to the sights that will be
seen in the immediate vicinity Of Nor
folk an opportunity to see Niagara
Falls. the magnificent city of Washing
ton. and daylight trip down the Po-
tomac and beautiful Chesapeake bay.
These places will doubtless be in
cluded in the itinerary and it is still
a matter of policy as to what other
places of interest will be visited There
is so much of historical interest and
there are so many places that are at
tractive and beautiful that it will be

places will be included in the list and
what ones Will be left out.
However, representatives Of several
of the railroads will be in the city in
a day or two and the matter will be
taken up with them and their advice
will be valuable in >termining the
