Pafty's Visif 10
 fhe Reunion
By Evelyn Snead Barnett
tcopyright, by shortstory Pub. Co,

Patty Eldred was pink of cheek and brown of hair, which was perhaps the reason that when the colonel her fa- ther. promised to take her to the re- union in Louisville she ordered a pink umbrella edged with a gold-brown stripe
 Patty had always gone everywhere with her father, but that everywhere was neither far nor wide, as, with the exception of the Lee ball at The White" and two trips to Richmond. she had never left the town of Dins- more, where she had first seen the light. The excitement of making so extended trip inclined her to airs, so when she waved her hand from the back of the train to the crowd of devoted swains who had come with flowers and candy to speed her on her way, she rather hurt the feelings of Will Rogers whom she was supposed to favor
 As fhe train was about rounding I've great mind to get ahead of these fellows and meet you In Louis vile"
 To which she had replied: Do you think would look at you by the side of the gallant Kentuckians? If you know when you are well off you will stay where you are.
 Which retOrt reused a certain qual- ity ill Will that he went home and packed his valise. Dinsmore was on the highway and trains were plenty.
 Pattys train must needs make so many stops to pick up soldiers and their families that 1t was late by two hours The colonel grew fdgety, for he was on the program for an an- swer to the first speech Of welcome 10 the national committee at eight As they left Lexington he looked at his watch, made calculation. and announced that by the time he had taken Patty 10 the hotel and dressed himself he would be just one hour too late
 Arrived in Louisville. he put his daughter and her belongings into q coupe and gave minute instructions and large money to the driver
 As I engaged the rooms several days ago. you will have no trouble whatever said he as he banged the carriage door
 When she reached the hotel the crowd in the lobby was somewhat confusing, and Patty became trife nervous cheerful beliboy piloted her tc the desk where she registered in good vertical hand, and, with an air that she fancied was nonchalant- ly cosmopolitan, asked to be shown to her rooms.
 The clerk questioned and investi- gated and reported that no rooms had heen engaged and that none were to be had Pattys looks appealed to him, and he heard her tale and ad- vised her to go up to one of the par lors, where her father should be sent the moment he arrived
 Patty entered the very red and white room and settled herself in a big armchair near the window, where the roar of carriages and the buzzing of many voices fostered meditation, but prevented slumber. She was unaware of the lapse of time when she was suddenly brought to conscious ness of her surroundings by the en- trance of string of porters bearing cots with which they rapidly trans formed the parlor into a dormitory and then-Oh, horrors'-an awful man in the corner actually began taking off

SCHEDULE IS CHANGED
Town Board, Of To1lestonnin
Interesting Session on
Monday.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

ToIleston, Ind. Feb. 17.-At a meet.
ing Of the Tolleston town board last
Monday evening permission was given
the South Shore line to deyiate from the
schedule Of running time provided for
in the franchise. This schedule pro-
vided that cars shouIc run between Toll
lesion and Broadway in Gary every 80
minutes. Attorney T. J. Lewis Meyer,
the general counsel of the road, was
present and pleaded with the town
board for a change in the schedule,
saying that it was impossible to run
one car on a thirty minute schedule as
the motors would get TOGO hot. He
came to an agreement with the board
by which the car will be run on a thirty
minute schedule from the hours Of six
to eight a. m. and from five to seven
?. m. During all other times they viii
run on forty minute schedule.
A special meeting Of the town board
and the citizens OF Tolleston has been
called for next Saturday evening for
the purpose Of discussing the advisa-
bility of laying sidewalks on the vari-
Gus streets in the town.
The town clerk reported that the
bonds for the new town hall and fire
station had been bought up by the
First State Bank of ToTeston, at par
with the accrued interest.

HAMMOND MAN HAS PRAISE
FOR BEAUTIFUL SAN LUIS

cost of Ga cents per head. And the
growing of peas does not exhaust the
land. On the contrary. it enrfches il
to such an extent that peas must not
be grown more than three successive
seasons as they would run too largely
to vines. Then the land is ready for
wheat.
But peas are not the only crop raised
in the San Luis valley. An average is
claimed of thirty-flve bushels of wheat
per acre, while oats yield from forty
to sixty bushels Alfalfa is not extern
sively raised, but where grown 1t
yields from three to FIVE tons per acre.
Native grass is abundant, and there
are hay ranches containing 5000 to
1000 acres Corn is not grown. the
season being too short and the nights
too cold. This is not a fruit country,
but apples are grown and strawberries
and similar small fruits do well. The
soil also is well adapted to potatoes.
Del Notre county. in the northern end
of the valley, holds the worlds record,
with yield of over 700 bushels per
acre. Experimental tests show that the
soil is also peculiarly suited for sugar
beets, producing a heavy tonnage I'M
usually rich in saccharine matter.
One very important feature I came
near forgetting-that IS, the ease with
which an abundance of splendid ar
tesian well water may be obtained. At
any point east of the Gun-Barrel
road Ca north and south thoroughfare
in the northern end of the valley),
this water may be struck at depth
of sixty to 200 fact The supply is un-
limited, the force Is undiminished by
the lapse of time and some farms are
entirely irrigated from these flowing
wells. At Alarmosa there is a well
which is estimated to flow more than
one million gallons every twenty-four
hours, and it has been doing this for
twenty-five years.
In a ride of over thirty miles
through one of the richest farming
sections we saw but one farmer at
work-which goes to show that farm
ing in the San Luis valley is easy"
Considering the peas, lamb and hog
proposition, an intelligent farmer in
our party said 1t appeared to him that
San Luis valley farmers could make
more easy money upon a small invest
ment of capital and labor than those
of any other section OF country he
! ever had seen.

.BLAMES THE FLOATING
ELEMENT FOR MUCH
Does Not Believe Himself OF His
Brethren Entitled to the Fruit of
the Harvest, But Maintains That
Due Credit Must Be Given to the
Law-Abiding Colored Man.

The following is a letter received
from A A. Rodman on the negro aues-
ton in Gary:
Gary, Ind, Feb. 16. 1909.
To the Editor
I desire to make the following state
ment regarding the present differences
that exist among the negroes of Gary.
I want to say that there is as many
different thoughts among the negroes
as there are negroes, for each one has
his thought and not one out of every
one hundred originates his thought.
This class of thoughtless hoaters, we
find in every civilized community. the
men that bought to the right to speak
and act are handicapped by the float
ers, gamblers and others that go to
make q community bad. by their graft
ing ideas. But we are not all bad
people, as some of the mean whites
say. There are good colored people
in this town that are here to say, who
are property owners and taxpayers,
and who are for good government. good
morals and good behavior. I want to
say that the negro who is doing the
most bowling, is the floating ele-
ment, who have nothing and stand Tor
nothing, and don't amount to much.
do not believe In continually kick
ing. I believe as a race we will get
all we deserve when the time comes
We were not the first in Gary and why
should we expect the first fruits of the
harvest, when we have no fields to SOW
our seed in the fields which we now
still belong to, the white man or the
foreigner, let us do likewise, put forth
an effort and buy and sell as others
have done and then the time will come
for US to claim citizenship as any other
man.
The white mans power is in his
pocket. SIMPSONS power was on tbs
top of his head, but the black man:
power is near the top of his head
his mouths all he wants. Talk
talk, talk is all.
