Mrs. Stevens will write for the
farmers daughter as well as for the
farmers wife. and there will be q
separate corner for the little folks,
but we are going to have In 1910 q
special department for the farmer
boys who are big enough to do some
farming themselves. This depart

interesting report of the four South

gest corn yields in Virginia. South

soon to announce some special prizes
that we will give to boys reading our
paper who make the biggest yields.

Here.

The officials of the Evansville Brew
ing were in Hammond yester-
day where they interviewed Dan En-
right, the industrial agent of the Mich
igan Central railroad, regarding the
availability of a site on the Michigan
Central right-of-way for a beer depot.
Enright has taken this matter up
and will make an effort to secure a
good location for this al
thought lots with trackage facilities
are very scare.
In the event the Evansville company
invadies the local field it will be ne
cessary for them to nave a distributing
agent in the field. Other brewing com
panies are looking towards Hammond
with the idea of locating depots here.

cry, which makes B~erghof beer, has

nibed as the distributing center for

Sam Alderman. one of the leaders
among the local Jewish people, stated
today that a meeting is to be held to-

ing a church will be taken up.
If the proposition can be property
financed. the work Of building the syna-
gogu will begin at once. The number
of Jewish people in this city and the
wealth of the members of the local
church would warrant them in building
a fine structure, and Mr.. Ableman says
that something will be done in the
near future.

WABASH ESCAPES ON
A TECHNICALLY
Blocks Crossing for Twenty
Minutes in Winter to
Detriment of Many.
CRAVEhS MAKES SUGGESTION
Would Have an Aerial Passage Way
at Important Railroad
Crossing.
CRAvEhS MAKES SUGGESTION

The Wabash railroad, frequent vio-
Iator of the law in the matter of OBJ
structing the street crossing, escaped
a deserved punishment by a technical
ity in the city court this morning
when City Judge Barnett was compelled
to dismiss the case which had been
filed against the load about the middle
of February.
On this particular occasion the cross
ing had been held for fully twenty
minutes, while a score of people shiv-
cred in the cold winter night air, and
a very sick patent was awaiting the
arrival of a physician who was among
those who had ben delayed.
In fling the complaint against the
B. w. Henderson, the assist
ant prosecutor. filed under the statute
which prohibits railroads from OBJ
structfng highways. But the law of
agency could not be applied for the
reason that the conductor or the en-
gineer or the guilty crew member,
while an agent for the company, was
not acting within the scope of his au-
tliority when he held the crossing for
this is also contrary to the rules OF the
mpan The only remedy that re-
mains is to bring an action aaginst
the train crew, but this will be a hard
matter for the state to do, as the ident-
ity of the offenders is unknown. At

A Worthy Suggestion.
Attorney Lincoln v. Cravens of the
firm of Ibacfn & Cravens in discussing
the merits of the case made asugges-
ton. which, on the face of it, has some
merits, and which may we'll be recon-
nand ~ civic hndipS for consideration
Mr.. Craven's suggestion was that in
asmuch as there is much unavailable de-
lay on the Holman street crossing
where the Monon. Erie Nickel Plate and
Michigan Central railroads cross an
aerial crossing for pedestrians ought
to be buitl on one side of the street.
While this would have its drawbacks
from a number of viewpoints, 1t would
after all be practicable. and q time
saver. 1t is nothing unusual for an
Erie or a Monon to take up its full
time limit in making the crossing and
before the gates can be raised a long
train on another line follows This
Nsftnatfon will become worse when the
Indiana Harbor begins to operate an
E other track parallel to the Michigan
Central. There are hundreds of peo-
pie in Hammond who ear tell long
stories of being delayed at this i'm
portant crossing and anything that
looks like a solution is worthy of con
n sideration.
