ANOTHER
HAMMOND
FACTORY
New Industry May Be
Brought Here AS Result
of F. S. Betz's Trip
Abroad = Will Manufac-
ture Razors.

A new factory for Hammond is one
of the outcomes of the recent trip Of
z. s. Betz to Europe this summer. This
factory is to be for the manufacture
of razors and employees. who are spe-
cially skilled in this kind or work,
are to be brought over here to form
the nucleus of the working force.
This is part of the plant of the F.
s Betz co. to expand the business of
its local plant The plan involves
the construction of new buildings and
will mean the employment of a large
number of new men.
Congressman f. d. Crumpacker has.
a Mr.. Betz request, taken up the mat
ter with the emigration officials of al
lowing number OF the employees of the
European factory which Mr.. Betz has
purchased to come into this country.
The immigration laws forbid a man
ufacturer to contract for the employ
ment of men in this country. but it is
necessary for Mr. Betz to do this in
order to insure the mems working in
this plant when they come to Ham
mond.
Betz Like Dowie.
Mr.. Betz project is similar to that
of Alexander Dowie, who imported a
number of Swiss lace manufacturers to
this country to establish the lace in
dustry in this country
Mr.. Betz also plans to bring large
amount of improved machinery to this
country from Germany for the manu-
facture of these new razors. In fact
the project as a whole is unique. and
the people of Hammond have never
heard of anything like it.
Mr.. Betz has a gang or men at work
making the excavations for his new
office building. which is to be located
in front of the main factory building
and will front on Hoffman street. This
building is to be S7x145 feet in dimen-
sions and the walls will be high enough
so that balconies can be put around
the walls for the storing OF stock. This
is the fulhllment OF the prediction that
f. =. Betz made during the last cam
paign. that he would build this office Il

FOR FINAL
ROUNDUP
MONDAY
All Ready for Grand Rally
Which Will Close the
Campaign in Interests Of
Dick Schaaf-Judge v. S.
Reiter to Speak.

Judge Virgil s. Reiter of the Lake
superior court is to be one of the prin-
cipal speakers of the evening at the
great republican rally, which is TO be
held in Towle's Opera House, Monday
evening.
Richard schaaf will, of course. make
an address. which will be well worth
listening to-
.s The meeting on Monday viii close
the republican campaign. and while
the Schasf men will not have to use
red FIRE and a general pyrotechnfc dis
play TO get out the crowds, there will
be band music and enough frills on
the meeting to make 1t look and seem
like real campaign rally.
And the speeches will have some
thing in them that viii be OF vital in
terest TO every citizen in Hammond.
The enthusiasm of Schaaf's supporters
over the excellent prospects for his
election is making them extremely hap
py.
To BE Celebration.
This makes It apparent that the meet
ing next Mnoday will be more in the
nature of a celebration than anything
else. The republicans from all parts
OF the city will get together. and they
viii pack Towle's Opera House as it
was never packed before.
It xiii not be necessary 10 get a
vigileEce committee and go out in the
highways and byways and drag people
into the hall, as was the case with the
Becker meeting Thursday.
The people will come because they
hundreds and hundreds Of people are
shaking Schaafs hand these days and
saying, Dick, old man. I hope you
win"
The Schaaf meeting will have much
OF interest in it to the voter. Such rep
resentative republicans as Judge john
II. Gillette will be one platform and viii
show BY that act that they are for
schsaf. and that they are looking for
his success.
Floods of Oratory.
And there vii be floods Of oratory.
Hammond orators will make the air
ring with their pleas for Schaaf, the
peoples candidate. The union man will

and his opposition for Becker, who says
that labor is never in politics unless

GOT MONEY WITH INTEREST

The big pickerel, wrenching itself free
from the hook, and attracted by the
shining coin, swung under the boat.
The great jaws opened and the coin
disappeared before Rosensteins very
eyes.
A few days ago Rosenstein was
again on Lake Bermidji and made a
fairly good days catch. Trolling back
toward the dock in the evening he felt
strike, and after a furious ten-min-
ute battle landed an enormous pick
erel 1t looked familiar, but when he
reached the dock and began to strip
his catch, what was his surprise on
splitting the big pickerel to find the
$40 piece lost last fall
Rosenstein poked around with the
knife and uncovered So cents in small
silver coins and pennies. 1t was inter-
est at the legal rate on the lost $40
gold piece.
Rosenstein's "pickerel bank" has al
ready become a part of the classic lore
of the Lake Bermidji anglers. They
proudly show the spot where the big
pickerel was cleaned in proof of the
veracity of this account.

Fish Story That Is Offered with
"Proof" of Veracity.

Few more remarkable experiences
have ever befallen a fisherman than
those of Nathan Rosenstein of st.
Paul, who last August wene fishing in
beautiful Lake Bermidji. Bernstein
caught seven sunfish and perch and
was about to give up and quit when
an enormous pickerel made furious
dash at his bait.
Rosenstein had just placed his pipe
between his teeth and was exploring
his trousers pockets for match. The
suddenness of the strike" startled
him and he jerked his pole with his
free hand, while involuntarily tugging
at the other to get it free from his
pocket. All would have gone well, but
for the pocket flap, which caught his
hand and held it for a second
Another vicious tug freed the fork
manipulation, but as it came loose a
$40 gold piece slipped out of the
pocket and rolled toward the gun
vale. Rosenstein dropped the pole
and grabbed for the coin, but it slid
overheard and with dull "chug'
slipped gently downward through the
clear water. Fascinated by the sight,
Rosenstein could but sit and watch.
Then curious thing happened.

Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota,
VINO had many supporters for the Dem

asked what his attitude on the matter

Why he said, 81 can best explain
my attitude by telling you about a
man l knew out west who went to
town one night and imbibed very free
ly at the various bars.
He was weaving an uncertain way
homeward along the road when he al
most ran into large rattlesnake that
was coiled in the road and ratified ON
inously. He looked at the snake for
moment and then drew himself up
as well as he could. If you are going
to strike, strike, drat ye,' he said. You
will never find me better prepared"

LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION

The increased use of "Toris" for
lame back and rheumatism is causing
considerable discussion among the
medical fraternity. 1t is an almost in
fallible cure when mixed with GER
tain other ingredients and taken prop

tive:- ITO one-half pint of good
whiskey add one ounce of Toris Com
pound and one ounce Syrup Sarsapa-

Toris compound is a product of the
