LIBERTY COW MIXER

That the Liberty Cow Mixer is
signal success was conclusively demon
strated at the first public demonstra-
ton this afternoon of the machine
which is now manufactured in Ham
mond.
A representative gathering of peo-
pie. including farmers. dairymen and
business men, saw the first exhibition
today. and marveled at the little ma
chine which promises to be a potent
factor in the future dairy business. Ev-
eryone was highly satisfied that the
machine had demonstrated its practica-
bility and that there is no room for

There will be daily demonstrations
at the Liberty Cow Mixer sanitary
barns at 2 o'clock In the afternoon, ex-
cepting Sundays.
The Mechanism of the Machine.
The Liberty Cow Mixer consists of
a small can which holds from eight
to ten gallons Of milk, and the cover
OF this can holds the milking mechan-
ism. The machine is a small aluminium
frame work with a weight Of about
thirty pounds and a small electric mot
or of one-sixth of a horsepower OPP
crates a pair of vacuum pumps. which
are Operatively connected to a pair OF
double valves, which apply the pulsa-
lions to the udder of the COW by means
of transmissions through a rubber tub
ing and aluminium teat cups. Each OF
these aluminium teat cups is provided
with a small pneumatic rubber cushion
which gives them a very smooth sur
face. Beneath each teat cup is a small
glass tubing and a shut off clipper
= It is thereby an easy matter to see
whether or not the cow is MIXED dry
and when this is the case the shut of
clipper collapses the rubber tubing ant
the pulsations cease.

in Whiting took place on Thursday

twenty three of her friends at her
home in oliver street.
The affair was planned by Attorney
and Mrs Frank Gavit in honor Of the
ninth birthday of their daughter.
The Gavit home was most deliberately
decorated in pink and white and looked
beautiful.
The guests arrived shortly before 6
o'click at which hour a three course
dinner was served. The table was most
beautiful Pink roses were the floral
decorations, and at each place were
pink candles in glass candle holders.
Favors were also given, consisting of
Tom Thums drums and suvenior tops
for the boy, and poldies for the girls.
There was also a birthday cake with
nine candles upon it.
Games and music formed the main
diversions of the evening and in the
games where prizes were awarded, they
fell to Ruth GLADDEN. and Francis Den
ham.
Among the out-of-town guests were
Miss Winifred Deathe of Gary and
Inez Eaton of Hammond.
At $50 the children departed fol
their homes, and as they passed out
each guest was presented with a pic
tuer of the hostess.
| The latter was the recipient OF man,
beautiful gifts from those in attend
ance. and by her parents she was pre-
scented with q handsome piano.

TOWLES WILL PUT
"GIRLS" ON MON.
Gives Hammond Last OPP
portunity at Good Week
Night Show.

Manager Roy c. Emery says that the
people of Hammond who have objec-
lions to attending the theater on Sun
day have an opportunity to see good
show next Monday when Sam S. and
Lee SCHUBERT will present Clyde Fitch's
play Girls"
This is play in which three pretty
girls man-haters, have adventures with
three dashing men and the play is said
to be one Of the most clever comedies
that has been seen here in a long
time.
Manager Emery says that he is go
ing to do his best to advertise this
show, and if the people do not come TO
see 1t he viii be convinced that they
do not care to have good attractions on
any day but Sunday.
Girls" ran at Days theater, New
York, for nearly year, and now in its
original form is on tour. Girls" is said
to be notable for its nearness to every
day life.
The story.
In brief. it tells the story of three
girls out of work; Pamela Gordon. Vio-
let Lansdowne and Kate West stenog-
rapher, illustrator and free lance writ
er. respectively. Pamela is a most
advanced type of man-hater and soon
she drives into the others the firm i'm
preston that mere man is no earthly
| good; indeed, a sort Of nuisance. They
| form the anti-man club and sing as
/ their national anthem, NO Wedding
Bells for Me-" before retiring each
night, then take a solemn oath with
| hatpins crossed to have nothing to do
with man. The characters, besides the
ones named above. embrace a giddy
/ gushing elocutionist, who seeks rather
/ than avoids men; a woman hating law
| clerk; frivolous young wife, who is
looking for a divorce from her hus-
band; a tyrannical and never sober
janitor; a young lawyer who is fond OF

| so. Several lesser ones aid materially
in completing a cast of characters with

Father of Hammond Men

the great mechanical work compounded
and the great saving in labor to the
farmer, is a very low figure. They will
guarantee that on any farm which has
more than twenty cows two milking
machines will pay for themselves with
ing six months. Then, too consider
the better quality of milk and the gen
tie treatment OF the cows. There has
never been a second patent sold at
such a price, and of all the milking
machine devices on the market at the
present time the Liberty Cow Mixer
out-distances them by far.
Each mixer represents a complete
plant in itself. and the dairyman does
not need to go into a number of other
side expenses to install a machine on
his place.
An Ideal Mixer.
The Liberty Cow Mixer company can
prove that the meteorological count in
the milk is not one-quarter as great
as in milk produced by hand under
the most ideal and sanitary conditions.
The amount of butter fat is greater if
the milk is drawn by machine, for the
reason that machine drawn milk comes
from the cells in the upper portion of
the udder Of the COW as well as the
lower portion. while hand drawn milk
comes from the lower portion only,
thereby not getting the best part of the
milk.
Each year the labor trouble on dairies
is getting more serious, and high
priced farm help is refusing to do the
milking-the nastiest job on the farm.
Gentle Treatment for Cows.
The Liberty Cow Mixer company
guarantees that its mixer will milk
each cow better and cleaner than the
average farm help will do, as the ma
chine is never cranky or drunk. and
gives the COW more gentle treatment
and no rough means are used IL the
cows is a hard mixer or does not give
4 the milk down fast enough. There is
no second business as profitable for the
! farmer and dairyman as the dairy bust
ness when COW milker is used, and
/ he does not have to depend on his
crop and WORRY as to whether there
will be sunshine or rain. 1t means tc
him a darby income to pay his running
expenses.

In his wisdom Becker did not ask
the union electricians of the city whom

that he had appointed William Craick

tractor and might be disposed to favor
