A DAY IN GARY LAND
HEARD By RUBE.

The early swimmer catches the first
cramp.
Up to the time of going to press
nobody in Gary so far has been bitten
by a maddog.
It will be noticed that gradually but
surely the peekaboo waist is coming
more out in the open.
OF course. it is to be hoped that the
teamsters strike Will in no waystie up
spring house cleaning in Gary.
The Cooperative Construction COM
pany are about to come out of their
Information. Let us hope that they
may have a clearer vision than when
they laid the pavement last winter
Just as soon as spring fever gets the
better of a person he diseards all the
clothes they dare, then run to see a
doctor.
Gambling is booming down in the
south end and still the prosecutor and
police are unable to find it. You will
kindly notice that the name Of police
comes last.
Some nobby blocks (not business
blocks) in the way of straw hats are
being shown in the Gary shop win
dows. AS for US, Wen. we are to make
formal inspection of our last years in
few days.
If we can't have the genuine old book
beer in Gary what's the matter with
the near book beer. That's as near as
we can come to it.
So far blind tiger cases have not
become so numerous in our courts that
the judges have to set special days for
their trial
In few short days some one in
Gary will be caught in the act of dig
ging dandelions and then it will be
impossible to keep the secret any long

derful opportunities to the business
man in general.

In speaking of the objects Of merch-
ants associations, Mr.. Clark said that
the first association was formed in In

members. Since that time it has
grown in strength to about II 700

forts Of the Indiana Retail Merchants
association. The law has been of more
benefit to the merchants Of the state
than any other measure that has yet
been adopted. and has put thousands
Of dollars into the hands of the home

provides, that whenever a transient

Especial to THE TIMES

Crown Point. Ind, April %. - From
reliable sources THE TIMES CLEANED the
information yesterday that Crown Point
is to have fully equipped gas plant,
for light and heating purposes, in the
near future If the present plans of a
coterie of Crown Point men, backed
by sufficient capital, do not go awry.
1t is said a franchise will be prayed
for at the next regular meeting of the
town board, and that a competent and
expert engineer will be engaged by
those who are fathering the deal to
make a comprehensive report to be used
in framing up the franchise to be ask
ed for
In talking to one of the men who is
instrumental in giving the project its
initial start, THE TIMES learned that
the object of the company will be to
supply the citizens of Crown Point
with a cheap and high grade of gas for
for light and heating purposes
The people I have preached on the
subject are very enthusiastic over the
prospect of being supplied with gas at
the rate we can sell it, and from the
scarcity and high price Of fuel. there
is no question but what a gas plant
in Crown Point will be a paying ven
ture. Considering these facts and sew
eral other that we cannot at this time
make public. I am confident that if the
people Of Crown Point take a favor
able view of the matter that we will
have a fully equipped gas plant in run
ming order before the close of another
year."

that your town trustees pass an ordi-

The "OnIy' Advertising Mediums.
In speaking of fraudulent advertls-
ing, Mr.. Clark said that the local
newspapers We're the only mediums
through which the merchants should
advertise their business. All other
schemes do not bring money into the
hands Of the merchant, but to the
person who solicits the advertising.
BY the formation of merchants asso-
Citations throughout the state, thou
sands of dollars are saved the local
merchants every year. Whenever an
advertising scheme is put before a
merchant now 1t must have the sane

BIG CALUMET
THREATENS
To FLOOD
Water Flowing Through
Gary Territory Nearly
Reaches High Water
Mark Of Year Ago; May
Not go Higher.

The recent rains have raised the level
of the Calumet river so that at the
present time it has nearly reached the
high water mark Although the resi-
dents of the south end of Gary have
not been affected this year as they
were last, If the recent rains continue
it is feared that communication with
several Of the Gary subdivisions, across
the river, might be cut off temporarily
at least.
Late yesterday afternoon the water
was up to the level of the road and
few more hours of rain would have
seen it completely covered. Several
of the families living in the lowlands
, of this region felt considerable appre-
hension when the water began to rise
so fast yesterday afternoon. Cellars
in this vicinity are flooded and a small
amount of damage has been done in
this way.
Seed Rotting in the Ground.
The greatest damage reported in
this vicinity from the high water was
to the farmers, who, having planted
their seed in the early part of the sea-
son, find that it is rotting owing to
| the constant rains and the stagnant
water which remains in the fields a
large part of the time In hundreds
of cases 1t has been found necessary
to replant the seed owing to the fact
that 1t had rotted.
It is not believed that the high wa
ter. which nearly drowned out the
south end of the city last year, will
cause so much trouble against this
season, but there will be considerable
difficulty encountered if it continues to
rise.

STAY IN PRISON

The supreme court, in an opinion
handed down by Judmes James II.
Jordan yesterday, denied the petition
of Thomas J. Mccoy, the convicted
Rensselaer, banker. who sought to be
released from the Indiana state prison
on a habeas corpus petition directed
against Warden Reid. As the result

inmate sentence act.
