and taxation without improvements.
This cry was heard in the villages of
Hessville Highlands, Saxony and Nuns
ter
The people in these towns became
alarmed They saw the "bogy" of fore
ibIe annexation and looked about for a
means to prevent it, They were in
formed by their attorneys that the
amalgamation and Incorporation of
these towns was the only think that
would prevent them from being gobbled
up.
That was how the hostility to Ham
mond started This was what led to the
present movement on the part of the
realty owners in that section to keep
out of the clutches OF Hammond.
Different in Gary.
In Gary there has been a scramble
on the part of the land owners south of
the city to get within the corporate lin
its of the new steel city. They were
convinced that they would be given i'm
provements that would make the in
creased taxation worth while instead of
being bled to death for nothing, as is
the case al Gibson.
At the present time those who are
working with might and main to pre-
vtnt Hammond from gobbling up the
towns to the south, are c. P. Schoon OF

Diplomatic relations between the city
of Hammond and the towns of Munster
Saxony, Hessville, Highlands and South
Hammond have been severed. The prop
erty owners in these towns have under
stood that the city of Hammond is de-
sirous of annexing all of the territory
between the southern city limits and
the Little Calumet river, and they are
opposed to it.
The whole trouble lies with the Ham
anond city administration. Some time
ago Mayor Becker and the city officials
took in one and a half square miles of
territory in the vicinity of Gibson. IN
tead of giving this territory something
in return for the increased taxation, the
roads were neglected and there was not
a single advantage gained by the prop
erty owners who were made residents
of Hammond.
More False Economy.
The people in the recently annexed
portion of the city have asked for cul-
verts and road repairs. and the false
economy that is being practiced resulted
in their being refused In the mean
time the Hammond administration Of
fcials were making loud boasts of the
great economies that were being prac-
ticed.
While they were doing this the resi-
dents in the vicinity of Gibson had
raised a loud cry against annexation

There were 115 regular delegates pres
ent and a number of visitors which

that Gary proved an attraction in itself
in bringing such a large delegation to
the steel city.

Want to be strong?

Eat more Quaker Oats. Eat it for
breakfast every day. This advice is
coming from all sides as a result of re-
cent experiments on foods to determine
which are the best for strength and en-
durance. 1t has been proved that eaters
OF Quaker Oats and such cereals are far
superior in strength and endurance TO
those who rely upon the usual diet of
heavy, greasy foods.
When all is said and done on the
cereal food question, the fact remains
that for economy and for results in
health and strength, Quaker Oats stands
first of all. 1t is the most popular food
in the world among the foods sold in
packages.
All grocers carry Quaker Oats. It
