A learned sooiologist assures the
American people that life is not so
rushing as it was ten years ago. His
assertion might carry some weight if
it were not for the overwhelming
proofs to the contrary. 1t is true that
in some things labor saving devices
have made business and domestic con-
ditions easier, but on the other hand
the increasing number of wants and
desires, with the growing mania for
haste in everything makes life more
intense than ever.

The new pumping plant is said to
be in good working order and giving
satisfaction. The principal part of
the satisfaction comes in feeling that
the pressure of expense has been re-
duoed, even though the quality of
water has not been improved. How
ever, this improvement may be realiz-
cd in fact-should sufficient moisture
come to start up the gravity system.
Oh! Lord. please pass the moisture.

The small expense to which the
district will be put by installing
electric lights in the putlio school
building, may be retrieved through
other channels. but injury to eyesight
remains forever. The rooms of the
Athena school building, until such
time as the windows are enlarged will
remain in poorly lighted condition.
gloomy, and of certainty, injurious
to the eyes of the scholars. To obviate
this condition, the school board at a
recent meeting. decided to investigate
what the cost would be to have the
building wired so that electric lights
could be utilized during the latter
portion Of the winter days, when low
ering clouds bring darkness early.

AS a reminder it may be we'll at
this time to call attention to the fact
that 1t will be wholly unnecessary for
anyone in Athena or surrounding
country to spend dollar with mail
order Louses or merchants in other
towns. for holiday presents. The mat
ter is brought to the attention of our
readers in view of the fact that from
now until after Christmas, the mails
will be flooded with alluring circulars
and catchy booklets, setting forth the
wares of crafty outside dealers who
stop at nothing short of misrepresen
tation to beguile people into biting
at their smooth propositions. This
year Athena merchants have given
the holiday trade more consideration
than ever Eefore. and several stores
in town will carry large and varied
lines of the best grades that money
can buy. Therefore. aside from it's
being due the homo merchants to re-
ceive your patronage, everything be-
ing equal, all the more SO is your
trade due him when he makes it
special purpose to 60 into the markets
and purchase a class of goods that is
not only equal but superior to the lines
offered by outsiders. BY giving the
matter of holiday purchases proper
consideration and reserving time for
selection until the home merchant has
his stock on display. you may be bet
ter pleased and your pocket book may
be the fatter, tco.

The movement to prevent the dis
figuring of scenery by huge advertis-
ing signs deserves success. That such
signs do mar the landscape and are
offensive to everyone who has any
sense of beauty few will question. As
a business experiment they are not a
success. Investigation proves that of
all forms of advertising they produce
the poorest results while newspaper
advertising produces the best.

what the producer realizes after pay
ing for shipping. he does this either
from total ignorance of the dairy sit
uation or from a malicious motive
as he says the poor innocent dealer
and consumer is left at the mercy of
the farmer. If this were really SO, the
consumers would be fortunate in get
ting a better grade of milk and the
arbitrary and nefarious schemes Of
many irresponsible dealers would be
eliminated entirely. Does this big deal
er know how many thousands of doll
lars have been lost to the poor hard
working farmer by dishonest milk deal
ers? Does he know what amount of
capital it requires to produce a can of
milk throughout the whole year? If
he did he could not truthfully say that
the cost producing a quart of milk is
not worth cents. If the producer
would, or if the conditions were such
that he could actually figure all his
expense capital and labor required,
connected in producing a can of milk
with the same precision as the business
or merchant does his business. it could
easily be shown that the farmer is ship
ping his can of milk at a loss. No, the

sidering his capital) to that what the
producer has been receiving. The milk
producers position is slowly getting
better, they are beginning TO under
stand and viewing their conditions
more intelligently and harmoniously as
a body. And [ will say right here that
have been working for this point
during the last ten years as shipper
organizer and director.
The farmers believe that good sani-
tary milk is worth cents a quart at
retail. and that the consumer ought to
pay that price but the farmer does not
like to be used as a cats paw or door
mat. He does not like to have the
milk peddler to hog it, and when the
people are asked to pay 8 cents he
knows that he Is entitled TO a fair
portion of this advance. This is only
fair and honest. and in my judgment
as the producers view their conditions
more intelligently fair and with hon
est motives. Better days are not far
distant for the producer and consumer.

looking place that 1 ever saw. 1t

hard to account for its condition

St Andrews, which is about $50 miles
along the coast, I came on here and
found one of the most pleasant looking
spots that l have ever seen 1t is sit
uated on st. Andrews bay, FIVE miles
from the line of the Gulf of Mexico. 1t
is high and dry above the water and
the weather resembles May and June
in Lake county. The flowers are all

an orange grove yesterday and Il was
certainly one OF the finest sights l ever
saw. The fruit is just ripening and

The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-11-23

In the meantime an interesting story
comes from Rensselaer,. 1t is to the
effect that the Justedt farm is a farm
OF mystery. In fact. the Rensselaer,
Republican has even gone so far as to
compare 1t to the Guinness farm Of mys-
terry and to refer to the exploration
of the soft spots" on the farm.
Down in the vicinity of Denote
there are some strange stories told of
the Justedt farm. The Republican
says:
The Justedt farm consists of forty
acres of sandy and quite unproductive
soil and Mrs. Justedt is said to have
paid very little attention to the farm
ing. Chicago parties have frequently
visited her and they are said to have
been quite high livers and many of
the guests at the farm are said to
have had dissipated look. while among
the women there was a display of
Twenty second street powder that
aroused a lot OF suspicion
story Not Credited.
The Justedt house is on the De-
Motto stone road. and occupies a sand
hill in an environment of scrub oaks.
The hin from the road to the house
which sets back about 100 yards from
the road. is steep and the sand very
heavy and it is a difficult matter for
machine to climb the hill. and ma
chine that was not in nrst-cIass con
dition could not do it. The original
story. therefore. that came from the
Justedt home to the effect that the
machine was disabled and that the
men had taken the engine to Chicago
to have it repaired. is not credited, for
the machine is said TO have made the
run up the hill without difficulty.
Mrs Justedt says that the machine
was brought to her house four weeks
ago Sunday. and that the occupants
of the car were her son and daughter
from Chicago. also her daughters
sweetheart and the owner of the ma
chine. whose name she claims not to
have known Mrs. Justedt is a Ger
man woman. but speaks distinct Eng
lish. She gave the address of her son,
and said that he would be able to tell
the officers who the owner of the ma
chine was.
Officers Trace It.
The officers seem to have traced the
machine through parts of Lake coun-
ty to Denote. and to have verified
the number of passengers in the car
to three men and one woman. They
have been unable. however to deter
mine that all four of the parties re-
turned from the trip. and the theory
upon which the officers are working
is that one or more of them may have
met foul play.
