According to Principal Sergeant of
the Gary high school, the H S. will not

tets are about evenly matched and that
the game to be played at Lebanon on
March will be worth seeing
From the very start 1t could be seen
the game was going to be a fast one
and the audience was worked up to a
high pitch of excitement It could also
be easily seen il would be decidedly
rough unless a halt was called on some
of the rough tactics being employed.
c. H. S was the first to score and had
dropped the ball four times in the net
before the Hammond boys secured a
marker Then the visitors got into the
game and finished the half pretty
strong. the score at the finish of the
first period being IA to :.
There was some decidedly rough
work during the second half which
finally resulted in a clash between the
Heron boys of the high school and
Murray, a guard of the visitors. c. H.
S. scored twelve points in the half be-
fore Hammond could get a point. Near
the close of the half the Hammond
players by soma very clever work
landed the ball in the net four times
in a very short period, making their
score look a little more respectable
after being completely outplayed dur
ing the first of the half.

the United States move hand in hand

little nation. Their influence will nat

it viii be too much to expect a true re-

And, after all. the course Of Secretary
Knox is justified. What he said Of the

REMEMBER THOSE DEALERS.

It is easy for the public 20 know who
are the dealers that sell clean milk, the
slaughter house men who offer clean
meat. It is easy to know who if those
bringing food to the city are trying to
comply with the reasonable laws the
city has adopted. And those who are
worthy should be encouraged.
At least once a week there are pub
lished reports from the officers. The
grade of milk is announced, with the
name Of the different dealers. The re-
port Of clean market houses-where dirt
and carelessness and disease were the
rule before-is given. You should know
which is the best milk Order it, and
tell the dealer why you make the selec-
ton. You know which butcher is work
ing in a clean and sanitary place. Tell
your grocer and market man you want
that meat-and tell him why. You can
advance the sentiment for cleanliness,
and you should do it. 1t helps take care
Of yourself. It helps protect the lives
of children.
4 start has been made. Insist that
there shall be no retreat Make it clear
you are watching, and that the activity
Of officials is appreciated in the best
way possible-by the intelligent follow
ing Of the people in whose cause all the
labor Of reform has been started.
