the entire community. They are bring

the people by providing facilities that
respond to the real educational ne
cessities of the community. The time
is now arrived when there Is some
thing offered in the high school that
will meet the household and educa-

Bessemer home This is work that
counts. This is having the schools
respond to real, rather than theoretical
needs. And this Is why the people re-

understand that the money is being
wisely expended and readily acquiesce
in every wise and reasonable educa-

particularly to have its trees excel in
beauty.
The members of the Commercial Club
are taking up the subject of the plant
ing of one or more shade trees in front
of each lot in town, which are not
otherwise so favored. All the Burn

trees so that town is as well shaded

games between each of the important
teams in the cities of Lake County.
He said that such a series would at

the county and would determine the
championship OF the county.
Kunert suggests that teams repre-
sent Gary, Hammond, Whiting, Eas,
Chicago. Indiana Harbor and Crown
Point could participate in the series.
Kunert had a conference with the
manager OF the Hammond team along
these lines. He stated that he had al
ready made arrangements with the

chased the McDevitt rs acre farm in

We are in receipt of the following |
notice sent to us from the Superinten-
dent of Indian Affairs at Fort Totten
which is OF general interest to every |
one.
1.-THE great annual destruction of for
ests by fire is an injury to all persons
and Industries. The welfare of every
community is dependent upon cheap
and plentiful supply of timber, and
forest cover is the most effective
means of preventing floods and main
tanning a regular flow of streams used
for irrigation and other useful purpo-
ses.
To prevent forest fires, congress
passed the law approved March 4,
1909, which forbids setting fire to the
woods, and forbids leaving any fires
unextinguished.
X: This law, for offense against which
officers Of the National Park Service
can arrest without warrant, provides
as maximum punishment fine of S.
600 or Imprisonment for two years, or
both, IL a fire is set maliciously, and
a fine of $1,000, or imprisonment for
one year, or both, If fire results from
carelessness. ~ + T. -. ~ =
It also provides that the money from
such fines shall be paid to the school
fund Of the county in which the Of
