A DAY IN GARY LAND
HEARD By RUBE.

It is a little early to begin making
garden in Gary, but it soon will be time
to start digging up for an Easter bon
net.
The annual pilgrimage by boat to
town provisions has commenced by
the farmer of the Calumet river dis
trict
From this time on the average Gary
contractor, carpenters and masons will
eat his lunch between the knocks Of
his hammer. The rush is on.
Cheer up you may be included in
the annual congressional distribution
Of garden seeds.
Judge Gary thinks the price of steel
is low enough. but strange to say that
is a part of Judge Gary's job.
If there was some way of averaging
the water on the Calumet river all the
year round the happiness of the resi-
dents might be increased tenfold.
In the meantime it is hoped that
some arrangements will be made so
that the baseball fans of Gary won't
have TO go over the state line for their
Sunday baseball.
Come on out cigarettes. The smok-
ing is fine. but rather expensive.
1t might be said that Gary is a
white city" as far as the condition
in which the streets are kept.
There is one satisfying feature about
the inaugural procession. If the people
Of Gary cant be there to attend it. we
will soon have a chance to see it at the
moving picture shows.
It is to be hoped that the first robin
will get in his deadly work and kill
of the first sand flea.
Fancy straws are being shown II
several Gary shop windows. Straw
mattings, not hats, we mean.

VIEWERS REPORT ON
BROADWAY EXTENSION
Are Said To Be in Favor of Contin-
uing Gary's Main Street From the
Ridge to Observation-Disclosures
tors, However, Said to Have Been
Busy.

A large delegation of Gary and Ham
mond contractors and parties inter
ested in the Broadway extension, went
to Crown Point this morning to attend
the meeting of the county commission
ers. where the contract will be award
ed for the building of the road over the
Calumet river.
Prominent among the delegation was
T. W. Englehardt Of Gary, who is vital
~ interested in the opening of the
south roadway. owing to his large
property holdings.
The Improvement of the road and
extension of Broadway from the Ridge
road to Merrillville, will do more for
that section of the country than any
thing else" said Mr.. Englehardt this
morning, and I am exceedingly anx-
ious to see the contract let and the
work commenced. The land south of
the Calumet river promises in time to
become the residential section of Gary
and the improvement of Broadway will
greatly increase the property values"
Bids Opened Today.
The contract which will be awarded
today at the county seat calls for grad
ing and matchmaking of Broadway
from the Pennsylvania railroad tracks
to the Ridge road, more Familiarity
known as old Chicago road.
The road viii be 100 feet wide the
entire distance The Improvement will
mean an enormous expenditure to the
count, approximating over $4,000.
1t is said that a bond estimating $780,
600 will be required.
At the meeting of the commissioners
/ today the viewers appointed at the
/ January session of the board. to view
/ the extention of Broadway from the
| Ridge road to Merrillville, wifi make
| their report and reviewers will be APP
pointed. The three viewers who went
over the route, some time ago are
1 Matt Boney of Hammond, VIM. Parry
/ and Bruce Meeker of Crown Point.
| 1t is understood that a remonstrance
will be filed against the proposed ex-
tention by property owners on the line
The reason for this is said to be OF
account of the change in the line o.
the proposed Gary-Crown Point inter
urban from the west route to a newly
! selected line at the east which will
connect with Broadway at Merrillville
The loss of the proposed electric lin'
| to the farmers on the est route, whC
also own property on the other route
will mean much to them and is saic
to be the cause for the remonstrance.

The storm center of the steel war"

of the largest consumers in the west,
including severl railway officials, be-

shares, and of industrial certificates
other than United States Steel.
They snubbed steel pitilessly. It was
a theoretical and a practical snub
which openly questioned the sincerity
of the steel company's proclamation Of
week ago last Thursday. The doubt
certainly is justified, for when an i'm

The assumption IS strengthened by
an observation in an authoritative
quarter. When the Iron Age observed
there are some indications of friend
ly spirit among some of the leading
interests, so that the term of price
war should not be indiscriminately
used" the skeptical critic may be par

thing for granted.
Chicago. from the inception of the

Foreign Families In Oil City Who Are
NeighbOrs, Air Their Feeling in
Court-Photograph of a Family
Group Is Used as Exhibit "A''
Shows Evidence of Trespass.
Especial to THE TINES }

Whiting, Ind, March 1.-The cutting
out of woman's eyes on a picture
caused an excitement here bordering on
riot last Saturday evening, and not
until 1t was thoroughly explained that
the woman in the picture, and not the
real woman in flesh and blood, had been
dis1gured did the feeling subside.
The underlying cause of the trouble
in which two women, a boarder and a
picture figured, in the foreign quarter,
are a half dozen innocent chickens.
AS a result Mrs. Annie Konska, liv-
ing at East One Hundred and Nine
teenth street. was arrested and fined
$3.50 by Judge Jones on the charge
of malicious trespass. Mrs. Andrew
Haluska, a neighbor, was one OF the
principal witnesses.
Trouble of Long Standing.
The trouble between the two women
has been of long standing. They both
reside on East One Hundred and Nine
teenth street and are next door neigh
bors. The .Haluska family has in their
possession several chickens which are
continually going into the yards of
the Immediate vicinity of their home.
About two months ago one of the
chickens got into Mrs. Konska's yard
and as a result she killed il. This is
where the trouble begins, for it was
then that Mrs. Haluska had her ar
rested and for the offense was fined SIS
by Judge Jones. Since that time the
two families have been at dagger
points.
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Haluska keep
saloon and ,Mr. and Mrs. Konska keep
boarders. The boarders of the Konska
family became warm friends of the
| Haluskas by frequenting their saloon
Enter the Family Picture.
! The Haluskas had a large family
/ picture in a frame, the value of which
/ was about $40. One of Mrs. Konska's
boarders was made a present of this
picture. Taking it home he hung it VI
in his room, feeling very proud of his
gift.
When Mrs. Konska went into the
room to do the regular work. and see
ing the picture of her enemy there
was more than she could stand Go
ing into the kitchen she took hel
butcher knife, and, after breaking the
glass, cut out Mrs. Haluska's eyes.

The activity and good health of the

the present day.
Undoubtedly" observed a men,
Der of the Royal Statistical Society,
elderly people appear to maintain
what one may call agreater efficiency
thaa they did years ago. | think this
is largely due to the great growth in
medical skill and also to the fact that
people-particularly those in resqon-
Sible positions-study their physical
fitness far more than used to be the
case. The man of As or so appears
to-day, by careful dieting, golf and
healthy exercise generally, to keep
himself far more alert and youthful
looking than his father or grandfather
at similar age.
My view, said the middle aged
head of a prominent city firm, is
that men in the city preserve their
efficiency nowadays far longer than
they used to do. know old men. as
you call them, who still bear upon
their shoulders the responsibilities of
some big concern. Years ago they
would have been sitting at home in
their slippers at such an age"
Elderly men study their appear

do said the manager of a city bank.
They wear collars and ties and
styles in dress which made them look
smart and youthful. From my ex-
perience it certainly seems that the
elderly man is very loath to leave the
scene of his activities nowadays |
put it down to ours being an abstemi-

sician. What the medical man tells
him to do he does exactly. His one
desire is to keep fit, and he manages
