BEGINS TO EDUCATED FOLK
Postoffice Department of
Hammond Instructs
the Public.

The postoffice department has be-
gun a campaign of education so that
the hail that its customers send out
will not go astray so often. Only re-
Gently the school teachers We're given
the little book of information that
would enable them to instruct their
students in the matter of addressing
letters.
The latest is the sending out of a
postal card to each of the addresses
reached by carrier upon which is tho
following information. together with a
model form Of address:
Use ink in addressing letters or
other mail matter
Write plainly the name of the
person addressed, street and num-
Der, postoffce and state.
Place your name and address in =
the upper left-hand corner of the
envelope or package.
Follow the model form shown on
the diagram, and if the letter or
other piece of mail matter is not
delivered it will be returned to you.
More than thirteen million pieces
of mail matter were sent to the
division of dead letters last year, a
large proportion of which could not
be delivered because of careless
ness in writing addresses.

An Interesting Speaker.

A Baltimore man had decided that he
must administer a stern lecture to his
six-year-old son Harry. The boy had
been naughty, but did not seem to ap-
preciate the fact; and it was with some
reluctance. therefore. that the parent
undertook a scolding
He spoke judiciously, but severely;
he recounted the lads misdeeds, and
duly explained the why's and where
fores of his solemn rebuke, his wife the
while sitting by, duly impressed.
Finally, when the father ceased, for
breath and incidentally to hear the cuI-
prit's Acknowledgement of error, the
lad his face beaming with admiration
turned to his mother and said:

''WICKEY DOES NOT
KNOW HIS MIND"
Democrats Declare That If Ed Simons
Had Been Elected Representative
That Hammond Would Not Have
Had Any Trouble In Getting
Wishes.

Hammond politicians were inexpresS-
ably surprised when the news spread
like vvi1dflre over the city that Sena-
tor A. J. B0vvser of ChestertOn had been
captured soul and body by the Gary
court promoters and that he had de-
cIared openly that he would go through
the are test for 0ary
The republicans say that it compli-
Gates the political situation beyond
measure. They cannot understand why
it is that Bowser should forsake the
very people who put him where he is
for Gary, when there are 0,0O0 people
here to protest against his action to
10000 in Gary, who will be pleased at
it.
Is Political Suicide.
Again and again the expression was
heard in Hammond this morning that
it means political suicide for the Ches-
terton senator. They try to look for
the motive and as yet the interests the
senator has IN Chesterton realty is the
only answer.
The word came up from Indianapo-
lis this morning that Senator Bowser
was influential enough to have the

THEY TOLD EACH OTHER
FEW WTHINGSON STREET
It Was All About Mere Man Who
Loved One and ultimately Mar
ried the Other and More Recently
Loved Both, So the Story Goes
Which Is Still Unproven.

Justice Prest Of this city will have to
decide whether the wife of an East
Chicago foreigner can criticise for
mer sweetheart of her husband by CIV
ing to the public details of their life
before marriage. The case was heard
before Judge w. A. Reiland yesterday
morning and was then removed to the
Hammond court on a change of venue.
1t seems that Mary Henro, one of
the elite of Oklahoma, was once a
sweetheart of one John Bobbin, who
lives on One Hundred and Fifty-fir
street. John, however, lost his love
for Mary and became enamored of one
Julia who is the defendant in the un-
usual action. All went well until short
ly after John married Julia, and then
the husband longed for the compan-
ionship of his unmarried days. He ap-
parently tired of Julia and made fre-
quent visits to the Henro home not
withstanding any objections that might
be raised by Mrs. Bobbin.
Mary, being somewhat sensitive, re-
sented the insult. and had Bobbin ar
rested. thus bringing the affair to the
ears of Mrs. Bobbin.
The case of yesterday was but the
outcome Of the old quarrel Meeting
Mary on the street, Mrs Bobbin began
to hand out few choice remarks
about women that couldn't let their
friends husband alone and before long
the language that filled the air was
enough to cause a deep haze. Finally
Julia, in a sudden fit of passion, shout
ed out to the interested bystanders,
that Mary had been too fresh with
Mr.. Bobbin and dared her to prove
that she had not done so. Mary re-
sorted to legal recourse and wishes
Mrs. Bobbin prosecuted for sIander.

Ed. SIMON EX-ME EMDER
IN THE CONFERENCE
Although Defeated in the Last Elec-
ton He is Thoroughly Loyal to
Hammond and the County at Large
COMMITTEE Urges Everybody to
Sign the Petition Which VIII Be
Forwarded.

The committee which was appointed
at the citizens mass meeting, which
was held in the Lake superior court
room Thursday. met again in the Lake
superior courtroom last evening and
outlined plan of action to circumvent
the Gary court boosters.
The committee called Representa-
tive Edward Simon into conference and
asked his advice about the manner of
procedure While Mr. Simon is no
longer tht representative from this dis
trict he is believed to be one of the
best representatives that Hammond
could have at the state capital at the
present time owing to his wide ac-
quaintance and the fact that he is thor
oughly in accord with Hammonds am
bition for an additional judge.
1t was decided TO send some of the
most influential of the Hammond busi-
ness and professional men to the state
capital at once to take the matter up
for Hammond and see what can be
done
Everybody Get in the BandvagOn.
Several important matters were con-
sidered and decided upon. The Ham
mond attorneys are now thoroughly
aroused. From the interest that was
taken by the business men last evening,
it is apparent they understand what
blow it would be to the city to have
the court business here divided with
Gary.
The principal necessity is that the
men who are working for the Interests
of the city be provided with sufficient
funds. Those present in the courthouse
urged that all of the citizens of Ham
mond who have not already done so
to make it a point to sign the reso-
lutions that have been placed in the
banks, drug stores, barber shops and
other public places in the city.
The idea is to give the legislators at
Indianapolis an idea that the people
of Hammond are thoroughly aroused to
the danger of Gary's securing a super
ior court.
1t is understood that the committee
has planntd several little stunts for
calling the attention of the legislature
to, what Hammond claims. is the un-
warranted demands of Gary.

HAMMOND WINS 81
TO IS FROM LAPORTE
Visitors Try Hard to Stem
Victory's Tide in Bas-
ket- Ball.
GAME PLAYED ON LOCAL FLOOR
This Makes Sixth Victory for the
Season and Championship
Looks Good.

Before an enthusiastic crowd Laporte
and Hammond clashed in basketball
on the local floor. The game was hard
fought from start to finish, but Ham
mond knew and possessed the finer
points of the game and clearly demon
strated their superiority over the boys
from Laporte.
Hammond emerged the victor by
score of 64 to Is.
The local boys started in with a vim
as soon as the referees whistle sounded
and played Laporte right off its feet.
The efforts of the Laporteans were in
vain as they tried to score and later,
seeing they were defeated, to hold
down Hammond from rolling up huge
number of points But in spite of their
efforts Hammond's scoring machine
worked to great advantage, scoring
basket after basket Nor did Ham
mond slacken her pace instead the local
boys worked harder at the close of the
half than they did at the beginning
The first half ended with Hammond
having scored AZ points to Laporte's 13.
The second half opened with Ham
mond determined not to let Laporte
score If possible. The local boys held
down their opponents remarkably WELL
basket. But Hammond in turn kept
right at work increasing their end of
the score. BY the end of the second
half Hammond had scored % more
points, thus making their score GA,
while in turn Laporte was able to
score only three points during the last
half, this making their part of the score
1s.
Is the Sixth Victory.
This is the sixth victory of the sea-
son for the local high school basket
