the American Bridge company erect it's
plant next spring on its site just north
Of Tolleston. we can expect a larger
figure.
while q population of five thousan
would enable US to become a city. we
do not desire to maintain our individu-
ality. Most of the people want the town
to become annexed to Gary. and If it is
not done this fall the matter will go
along for years. Tolleston is practical
ly a continuation OF Gary and 1t will be
for the welfare of both places that we
be included in the great steel city"
That Tolleston Is progressing there
is no doubt. More than q hundred
homes have been recently built; it is
improving its streets. and next year it
contemplates the erection Of a system
of sewers. Since last June the South
Bend and the Gary and Interurban lines
have come to it's doors. In 1905, when
Gary was founded. Tolleston was al
ready half a century old and had three
hundred inhabitants. Its population
was for the most part made up of re-
tired thrifty German farmers and their
families. AL lof them had plenty of
money in the banks and when Gary
came on the map they were not slow of
in seizing opportunities. AS result
many OF the good people doubled and
tripled their fortunes and their in

With their worldly goods so well
mended, Lake county capitalists found
that the people of Tolleston would make
excellent bank depositors. And so they
did, and not long ago there was $500
in the Tolleston state bank for every
family in town. In Gary's three banks
there is much more of the Tolleston
gold stored away.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Supt. Stacey gave an interesting
talk in chapel Monday.
Some brilliant beginning German
student must have been trying to
revise the German language the
other day when he tried to decline
mother and daughter in Dutch. In
stead of using the feminine article
die, he used the masculine article,
der.
The Ancient History class has
been having debates this week on the
toopic: Is Themistocles or Pericles
the greater man. The class is divld-
ed into two divisions. Division one
won out on Themistocles as the great
er man and division two on Pericles.
A debate between the two divisions
is now being planned.
Rev. w. G. Coleman spoke to the
students in chapel Thursday. His
talk was about the three great things
of life, the home, the church and
the school. 1t was appreciated by
all.
The Freshman football team in
tended to have its picture taken this
week but it was postponed on &C
count of stormy weather. Ht
Maybe that is why the sun vas
afraid to come out from behind the
clouds. tgts
One of the ancient history students
In his debate stated that Themistocles
was far sighted. A witty girl on the
opposing side Immediately spring to
her feet and cried, why, didn't he
get some glasses?"

THIS WAS A BAD GUESS.
Fayette Smith Was Fined Because
Of o Mistake.

The Belleville Telescope says; one
Of the fruits OF recent freak legisla-
ton was the arraigning in court and
filming Of Fayette Smith today, under
the pure food law. One day last
week an inspector Of the State Dairy
Commission, who was over-zealouqs
to earn his salary and make a show
ing to his chief, made test OF the
cream of Mr.. Smith, who is buying
for the Continental Creamery Com
psny, and found the test wanting
Mr.. Smith was arrested and arraign-
ed today before Justice Ingham and
upon the showing Of the two tests
was found technically guilty and
fined S25. Experienced men here
say it is nothing unusual to find q
variation In the test Of cream, and in
this particular case it was explained
in court why the discrepancy hap
pened. But the discrepancy was there
and the court had to follow the freak
law and assess the fine"
Mr.. Smith resided in Abilene sew
eral years as assistant in the State
Sunday School Associations office
II he had a fault it was extreme
conscientiousness and he would soon
er cut off his hand than do a wrong
act. Somebody in authority ought tt
remit that fine for there can be M
question about Mr.. Smiths absolute
honesty and sincere effort to DE-
right.

The Difference in Sewing Machines

n II is mistaken idea that sewing machines
are pretty much alike, when as matter
of fact there is a vast difference.
g There is but one machine that sews better
than any Other-and that one is the Singer.
q This is because the Singer idea is DIS
tinctiUe-every year shows Improvement
in that idea.
q This is because the Singer factories are
only equipped with tools and machinery
better calculated to make good sewing ma
chimes than any other, but this equipment
is unique and not to be found elsewhere.
q This is because half century has been
devoted to training and specializing men,

Washington, Dec. 2.-Diplomatl'
relations between the United State'
and Nicaragua were ended when Sec
rotary Knox returned the passports o
Felipe Rodriguez, Nicaraguan charg'
d'affaires. Mr.. Knox also sent thu
Central American diplomat letter IL
which President Zelaya Of Nicaragu'
was unsparingly denounced. This let
ter 10 said to represent the views o
President Taft.
The extraordinary feature OF the let
ter is that 1t indicates an intention OF
the part Of the United States to hole
President Zelaya personally responsi
BILE for the alleged torture and dealt
of the Americans, Cannon and Groce
and exhibits the unique situation o
one government holding the chief exc
cutive of another practically as com
mon malefactor. Lelaya is branded al
a violator of solemn international con
ventions, a disturber of the nationa
and international peace, and tyran
whose administration has been a bio
upon the name of good government.
Secretary Knox virtually announces
the recognition Of the nicaragua
revolutlonists. He says 1t is the con
viction Of the United States that thu
revolution represents the sentiments
of majority of the Nicaraguans. anC
that there evidently Is no responsible
government with which the United
States can deal He therefore an
nounces that all parties will be helt
accountable for their actions as affect
ing the interests Of Americans and thu
peace of Central America.
Colon, Dec 2.-President Zelaya o
Nicaragua has suffered crushing de
feat at the hands of Gen. Matuty, wht
defeated force of 1000 government
troops at Aasinas, near Rama. OF thu
Zelayan troops 80 were killed ant
many wounded The rebels, fighting
from ambush, lost 20 men. AS q re
suit of this according to wireless dis
patch received here from Bluefelds
President Zelaya will resign.
Details Of the battle near Rama ar
rived here telling of the fight Of thu
Zelayans, leaving, besides their dead
$50 wounded. The rebels also cap
tured the government colors.
The insurgents fire was steady ant
sure. Hiding behind rocks and trees
they picked OF their opponents accu

The result Of the victory is the rails
