Wanted at Home, and a
Grieving Wife and Sick

Say, Dick Harter, if you had seen
your shivering. heart broken wife today
with your 14-month-old babe as
she came this Office today and
expressed her fear that you had
met with foul play. you would
return to her, you would hurry home
to her!
Wherever you are, Dick. come home,
you, your wife needs you ana the baby
needs you.
Come home!
It is rather queer case this Har-
ter affair. and it is very pitfful one.
The Harters live at 216 Wilcox avenue.

eevrybody should be of cheer and good
will toward every man, had the oppo-

may have come to him, and today, un-
able to stand the strain of anxiety any

Workmen a. the Dearborn Park

busily engaged in making the place
habitable, and it is understood in
sporting circles that business will be-
gin Saturday. The Chicago Tribune in
its issue this morning says, however:
Governor Thomas r. Marshall will

ling syndicate to reopen the old Dear
born Park poolroom near Clark Sta

IN long distance telephone conver-

There will be no excuse for high

Hammond, the ice ranges in thickness
from IA to 16 inches. it ali depending on
the amount of snow in the ice. Alto

panies have had in many years. With
thick ice the cost of harvesting is con-
siderebly reduced as compared with
former years, and a better grade is
secured, all of which is in favor of the
company and which ought to bring
about reasonable prices next summer.

In the other towns in the county the
ice harvest is in full swing too. Lake
George, Hobart. affords the best place
there for ice, while Fancher Lake
Crown Point; Lake Seven and the brick
yard pond afford good ice at the coun-
ty seat. Lowell too has the advantage
of big pond for its Ice harvest. The
smaller towns. such as Dyer, St. John
Munster and Griffith, have all good
sized ponds from which they can take
their ice supplies for next summer.

fore the rivers and harbors commit
tee of the house at meeting to be
held next week in behalf of the Indi-
ana Harbor project. He will ask the

yate enterprises located in that region
have ben working on this river and
canal project for some time. and a
canal two hundred feet wide and
twenty feet deep has been dug about
two miles. Representative Crumpack-
er will not ask for any appropriation
from the government to help carry on
this gigantic piece of work. as It is to
he entirely finished by the private con-
Germs interested in the canal. He will
ask that the government take it over
and appropriate enough money to
maintain it, as recommended by the
secretary Of war.
A year ago last October, Representa-
tive Theodore Burton. Of Cleveland.
then chairman of the rivers and har-
bors committee Of the house. visited
this harbor and canal and made thor
ough inspection of the work. He then
pronounced it one Of the most merItor-
