At this writing good growing
weather prevails. Trees and shrub
berry in the main are slowly recover
ing from the heavy freeze of a few
weeks ago. Somewhat out of the
usual, one kind of small fruit is bios
soming again, though not as profusely
as before. All kinds of grain, rs well
as grass, are growing nicely.
k. T.. Decker, as usual, is chuck
full Of business. He has two break
ing rigs running, and another team
hauling off rock. On Saturday last
he and his good wife went to Spirit
Lake 10 visit Mrs. Decker's people,
and returned Sunday afternoon. Miss
Jessie Rogers, who has been staying
with them for several months has left
them and we understand has gone, or
soon will go, to the home Of her
mother in Montana.
We have what seems to be authentic
information, that II. G.. Wilder, late
of this vicinity, has taken a homestead
in Fall River county. this state, and
expects to go there soon to establish a
permanent home. That locality will
gain much by the accession of t. G..
and family.

regularly at Drakota and our people
are more than glad to occasionally
meet him.
Miss Clara Herrick was home on
Saturday and Sunday last. She is
making an extended stay with friends
in Howard.
Mr.. and Mrs. David Pratt, and
Mrs. j. l.. Jacobs were in De Smet
on Tuesday of this week, presumably
on business connected with the
Bumgartner estate. We understand
Mrs. Bumgartner left a will, but her
mental ability to execute such legal
document is called in question by
interested relatives.
On Sunday last Rev. Cassill vas

"A search warrant was issued
Monday for the restaurant operated
by John Lark for the purpose of as
certaining if intoxicating liquors were
kept for sale. Report had it that Mr..
Lark had been selling hard cider that
made DRINKS. The chief of police
took a sample of the cider and the
authorities are having it analysed to
determine the character Of the stuff.
just at the present time when
everyone is talking of the high cost
of living, the following figures show
ing the relative energy producing
qualities of different food stuffs will
be of interest. The basis upon which
the figures are made is the quantity
of each article that 10 cents will buy.
1t will be noticed that -four, which is
the cheapest food article on the
market today, contains more than
twice the virtue of any other of the
eleven articles named. Much of the
high cost of living comes from the de-
termination to have a great variety
and from the fact that we prefer
certain articles over other certain
articles. The American people are
not living on plain foods, and the
average table of today is no indica-
ton OF the locality in which it is
spread, except it may be from a diff
ference in the style of cooking and
serving the same articles. The figures
are from a test made by government
experts and are to be found in Farm
ers' Bulletin No. l42:

Hammond needs another Hammond
building. an Office building that is
strictly up to date and is equipped
with elevator, steam heat and all OF
the other conveniences that go to make
a modern office building.
These facts were brought out by a
statement by Omar Trout, the custodian
of the Hammond building. who said to-
day that he has had so many requests
for offices that he is convinced that the
city would support another building.
Nothing better illustrates the evolu-
ton of Hammond from a little manu-
featuring town to a metropolitan city.
Time was when the leading lawyers
of Hammond had offices in the dingy
old buildings about the city and were
compelled to keep warm by burning
out the soles of their shoes on a red
hot coal stove.
New Era begins.
But with the building of the Ham
mond building all of this was changed
The people of Hammond laughed wher
the Hammond building was erected
They said man is crazy to put up a
building of that character in a city like
Hammond.
/ but the Duliulng was Quit IN spltt
of the ridicule of the residents of the
| town and the tenants began to come
| in. 1t was a year or two before Their,
lwere many tenants in the building ant
then the demand for offices becam,
| greater.
| Now there are dozen persons il
Hammond who would pay big bonu
to secure a location in the Hammond
building. Only this week two thre'
disappointed tenants were turned ava,
because there wmas no room for then
in the building.
The Taper building, which is handi
capped by the fact that 1t had no ele
lVator, was rented before work was be

NEW SCHOOL HOUSES

Truant officer w. P. Ray and force
of workmen today completed the erec-
ton of three new portable schoolhouses
at Fourteenth and Twenty fourth
streets Gary, which were recently pur-
chased by the school board to increase
the facilities on the south side.
The Gary schools Will open for their
fall term on Tuesday, Sept. 6. and now
as the vacation period is practically
ended the school board is making all
preparations to take care of the esti-
mated increase of 400 school children
who will start school this fall
Work on the improvements now go
ing on in the Jefferson school is being
rushed and the contractor has been
urged by the board to make all pos
sible haste and have the building in
readiness by Sept. 6.
Mr. Ray, who has been at work in
the south part of the city during the
J past two months, stated to TIMES re-
/ porter this morning that the parents
! of the foreign school children are pre-
pairing the wardrobes for their chill
, dren and have made many inquiries as
70 when school will open this fall. They
| seem to have taken a new interest in
the matter of their childrens' eduea-
ton, which is most gratifying to the
school board.
children will enter the Gary and Toll
lesion schools at the beginning of the
school term in September.

PAINTING A
CEMENT WALL.

At a recent convention of master
painters in Canada the following
method of painting a cement wall was
recommended: The building had be-
come discolored in places, and the
joints were of different color from the
surface of the blocks. Two parts of
Portland cement together with one
part of marble dust, were mixed with
water to the consistency of thin paint
or a thick whitewash. The wall was
well wetted before the application of
the paint. and kept constantly wet
while the material was applied, and
then kept moist for a day in order to
make the cement wash adhere to the
cement surface. The wash was ap-
piled with ordinary whitewash or kali
somien brushes, and a man was kept
busy playing a spray on 1T while the
work was being done. The whole Sc
cret Of success lies in keeping the wall
constantly wet.

present time.
should Have Gone Up.
Had Anton Taper made his building
a fve-story building. instead of going
up only three stories, and then in
stalled an elevator he would have rent
&c every office in the building. He
realizes this now and wishes that he
had built with the possibilities of the
future in view.
The professional men of Hammond
realize that they must have the most
up date offices in the city or they
will be greatly handicapped. For that
reason the matter of rent is no object
| to a man who appreciates what loca-
tion means to a lawyer or a doctor.
Another advantage of a large build
| ing is the fact that the more tenants
there are in a building the more bust
ness is attracted to that building. That
is why the Hammond and Taper build
| ings are popular
The man who goes to see his lawyer
may stop in at the Office Of a dentist
or he may take advantage of his visit
to talk to an architect who happens &c
be located there.
Tenants Help Each Other.
In this manner one man helps an
other and 1t is worth any extra rem
that may be charged to be located in
building that is tenanted by the mos
progressive people in the city.
The character of the tenants i'm al
up-to- date office building is Away
higher than in the cheaper building
about the city. This makes tenancy ii
the tenant. Hammond has enough
cheap office buildings. Many of tn
rooms in them are vacant at the pres
ent time. What Hammond wants
another high class office building an
ii will support 1t.

HOW ONE
MAN LOST
MONEY?

Many of the Hammond builders of
business blocks in Hammond under
estimate the future of the city and
seem to have such conservative views
regarding the possibilities of its growth
that they are actually the losers as a
result
A Hammond business man who is
well known here recently decided to
build business block on State street.
He erected a one-story building and
rented it before it was completed.
Before construction was started on
the building his architects advised him
to put foundation under the building
that would permit the building of a
couple of extra stories.
The additional cost was only 5000.
The business man refused and said
that in his opinion one story would be
all that would be required for some
time
Today. year after the building was
completed, this man has found that he
can get a splendid rent for a second
floor his building if he had one
1t is doubtful if the foundations will
carry the extra story and he is in bad
delima.
The whole trouble was the ultra
conservatism which prompted this bus
mess man to save 5000 rather than to
build his foundations right. He now
says that he would give $500 If he had
foundation under the building that
would carry three stories
This is the history of a number OF
other builders in Hammond. Antor
Taper would give great many dol
| lars if he had put foundations under
| his building that would carry two more
| stories.
More faith in the future of Hammond
| is what is needed.
