The market day which is to be held
in Devils Lake Saturday. August list,
is a move in the right direction and it
is afse-nseving~ as it Should. This is
not scheme of some outside promoter
whose only object is to make a stake
and take it away with him, as is often
the case with events of this character.
The citizens of this vicinity have felt
friendly to move of this kind for
some time and in order to test it's
merits have enlisted Frank Hyland
into the scheme as the main head of it.
and he is working with the business
men of this city to bring it to a suc-
cessful issue. There will be oppor
unity for the farmers to display their
produce and stock, and liberal prizes
VIII be given, amusements of various
kinds will be plenty and everyone who
visits the city at this time will be able
to snend their time proitably and on.
1oyablE 1t is the desire of those who
have this matter in charge to make it
so successful that the occasion can be
reneated every month. 1t will if Sue
cessfnl, be good thing for both the
business man and the farmer, thew
! should work in conjunction in this
: matter Everyone should push for its
success and If they do this will be on1v
! the first of series of market days for

and drainage are the only methods of
adding to our agricultural areas, and
while these are being employed on a
wholesale scale it is no longer true
that Uncle Sam has farm for every

But this does not mean that the pro-
ductiofY of our farms will not continue
to increase Farmers are getting
greater returns from their land than
ever before, and they will tell you
they are yet far from the limit Many
farmers are too ambitious to add to
their acreage They work and plan
to get enough money to buy the adj
joining farm. Many Of them become
land poor, that Is, they overload as is
often done on the stock market. They
have more land than they can han
die and the returns are not satisfact'
DRY, because much of the farming Is
done in a slip-shod manner.
The wide-awake. up-to-date farmer
will tell you that his success depends
not so much on the number Of acres
he tills as how he tills them. Many
agriculturists now make more money

LAKE CO. BAR MEMBERS
GET COMMITTEE REPORT
Bill Drawn Up to Be Taken Before Legislature Pro
vdes for Appointment of Judge Until Election
Can Be Held in Two Years

The members of the Lake County Bar
association, excepting the Gary delega-
ton, met in the superior court room
last evening and received the report of
the committee which was appointed to
draw up bill to be presented at the
next session of the state legislature
The bill which was offered is a simple
one and provides simply that the Lake
superior court shall consist of two
judges instead of one and that the adj
ditional judge shall be appointed by the
governor to fill a term of approximate
ly two years. until an election can be
held.
This would make 1t necessary to elect
a judge of the Lake superior court
every two years. although the judges
would serve for a four-year term
The members of the bar association
received a report from johannes Ko-
pelke OF Crown Point. in which he se@d
that he was not quite ready to report
his bill for the establishment of a con-
tinuous Circuit court at Crown Point.

TOOK LAW IN HIS HANDS
Harbor Man Collects Board
Money; Pays It to
Court.
Especial to THE TINES

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Dec. 22.-When
Joseph Sassovitch, of Deodar street at
tempted to collect $40 worth of board
money, due him from Thomas and John
Esnek, two laborers in the employ of
the Inland Steel company, he did not
think that he would be compelled to
pay over the entire amount to Judge
Reiland's court.
Sassovitch attempted to collect the
money due him by novel means. Grasp
ing one Esnek by the hair and threat
ening to throw him out of the window
unless he liquidated the indebtedness
promptly. Thomas promised to pay his
share of the $40 and was released, Sas-
sovitch then turning his attention en-
tfrely to John Esnek. Esnek was some
what larger than Sassovitch, and the
latter decided to use more persuasive
method, so pulling a revolver from his
pocket, he threatened to shoot unless
John handed over the remaining $40.
OF course, John assented but imme-
diately caused the arrest of Sassovitch
on a charge Of carrying concealed
weapons.
When arrested by a constable from
Judge G. E. Reiland's court, the re-
volver was still on his person and he
could not do otherwise than plead
guilty. He was fined $21.40. or s140
more than the amount of his claim
against the Esnek brothers. He prompt
~ paid the fine and left the courtroom,
declaring that he had been bunkoed and
that the Esnek brothers could no more
ind lodging meath his roof. Frenzied
fnance-perhaps. yes?

WARNS AGAINST PERJURY
Judge Reiland Says It Is
Becoming Very
Serious.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Indiana Harbor, Dec. 22.-with sew
eral large bruises on his Uranium, Geo.
Chirca, an intelligent Roumanian, re-
siding on Beach street, yesterday told
Judge G.. E. IRELAND that he had been
assaulted by two of his countrymen.
The three men were arrested Sunday
night on a charge of rioting, and at
the time the arrest was made, Chirca
was in an unconscious condition from
the effects of the blows. His alleged
assailants, Nick Drushon and John Hen
ties, maintain that they merely pushed
Chirca out of the saloon of George Ger
man in the Beach street district, and
that he must have bumped his head
IN falling against the door.
That's a lie,'' interrupted Chirca
Nick had pool ball in his hand and
threw it at me and John hit me with
a bottle of beer" He explained then
that both had taken full effect and that
it was after they had struck him that
he was thrown outside of thebuiIding
Judge IRELAND was unable to ascer-
tain the truth from the statements of
some ten or twelve bystanders, all of
whom were of biased opinions for either
the complainant or the the two defend
ants. The court has issued subpoenas for
an additional six witnesses who will
give their evidence this afternoon and
from whom the court expects to secure
the true story in the case. From the
present outlook it would appear that
there will be several prosecutions
against certain of the witnesses on
charges Of perjury, Judge IRELAND de-
claring that the practice of perjury is
becoming too common among the for
eigners tried in his court and that sud
den and forcible action is necessary to
put an end to the practice.

Whenever He Sees Smoke He Is Fire
Department and Policeman in One.

Officer Gus Newman of the local po-
lice station simply can't get out Of the
habit of putting out a fire. If Gus sees
a little smoke issuing from a house
or building that looks a little suspicious
his ears begin to prick up and he will
run several miles to find out the cause.
Yesterday afternoon Newman discov-
cred a prairie fire near the power house
OF the Gary & Interurban, which if let
burn, would have destroyed number
Of shacks and other properties. The
only thing to do, thought Newman, is to
put the fire out myself It'll do it"
So securing a shovel from one of the
employees of the street department he
started to pound out the flames. A
call had been sent in to the local fire
department, but by the time they ar
rived there was nothing doing New
man gave them the go-baek signal and
proceeded to put out a few more sparks
that If given a chance might have
given the department another run.
Hereafter in case that department No.

He said that he was comforting with
the attorneys at Valparaiso, LaPorte
and Michigan City with the idea of
framing up a measure that would be
acceptable to them.
AS soon as the Crown Point bill is
ready steps Will be taken to have it
presented to the Legislature. Steps have
not been taken for the purpose Of rails
ing money with which to carry the
work of lobbying for the bill
The Hammond members of the Lake
county bar say that they do not see
where any large amount of money could
be spent legitimatly in furthering the
interests of their measure. They say
that they could hire a brass band and
parade the streets of Indianapolis, but
while this might be a good plan for
advertising the city. il would hardly
appeal to the legislators as a digni-
ned method Of bar association to lob
by for bill, asking the establishment
of an additional Judge at Hammond.
