MAYOR 7. {. KNOTS
GREEIS OLD COMRADE
Sir Knight Charles See OF
Hammond Mayor Buses
Double.

Sir Knight Charles See, who holds
forth at the Hammond police station
as night desk sergeant, was heartily
greeted by Mayor Busse yesterday as
the latter spied the Hammond knight
of generous proportions marching IN
the ranks of the Hammond Command
cry. Those around Mayor Buses
stand Immediately realized that the ex-
cess evoirdupois in himself and his
Hammond counterpart was the tie that
binds and which caused the hearty
greeting.
Sir knight See then marched along
without interruption for a distance
when somebody hailed him from fifth
story window. Upon looking up he
was greeted by the smiling counte-
nance of Mayor Thomas Z. Knots of
Gary and he was tickled to see the
former Hammond police captain recog-
nize him.
Those who saw the parade were
unanimous that the Hammond Com
mandery presented a splendid appear
ance, and as for the paraders, especial
ly the squad, their sore legs tell them
today that DIR. H. E. Sharrer. their
commander, gave them all the fancy
footwork they could do.

GARY TO HAVE GARBAGE
CREMATORY SHORTLY
Special Meeting of Council
to Take Up Important
Matter.

1t is probable that the city of Gary
will have a municipal garbage creama-
tory to cost $4,000. There will be a
special city of the council garbage re-
moval committee this evening which
will be attended by Alderman NJ. n.

Walsh and BoWser.
William c. Hay, secretary of the
Weber and Duller company engineers
and contractors of Pittsburg, Pa, and
Houston, Texas will be on hand TO
tell the aldermen all about the garb-
age crematories. Mr.. Hays company
will build a crematory of 45-ton capaci-
ty, suitable for the needs of the city
of Gary's size for 5000.
The local health board. DR.. Faulds
president also has the subject under
consideration and it is said that the
health guardians favor garbage dis
posal plant. As the city grows larger
the garbage proposition increases and
its disposal Is the subject OF some
study. 1t is highly probable that the
aldermanic committee will report fav-
orally TO the city council and request
that the city erect a crematory of its
own.

FARMERS TURN ATTENTION
TO BREEDING Of HORSES

The continued advance in the value
of horse throughout the country has
caused many farmers of Lake county to
turn their attention to the raising of
colts, and according to an authority,
the number of horses raised in the
county this year will run to a high
figure.
The steady increase, which has re-
suited from the heavy demand of large
cities, where the draft horse is con-
stantly being pounded to pieces on the
hard pavements, has sent the value of
horses up ten per cent above those of
last year, when the highest prices in
the history OF the county were paid for
good draft animals
High Prices Prevail.
Several instances have been recorded
where a price of from $500 to 5000 was
BID for heavy horses to be used for
farm work, at sales held during the
past few months. In one instance In
particular. $3.50 was bid for good team
OF heavy farm horses at a recent sale.
This county, which has always been
slow in the production of horses, will
have made a good showing at the end
of the year. it is declared.
Horse buyers from large cities in the
east have secured the surrounding
country for horses during the past few

]. {. FITZGERALD SAYS
CROPS WILL Be GOOD

John e. Fitzgerald of Hammond is
one of the close students of crop con-
ditions in this country, and he is of
the opfnoin that crops will be good IL
there is a heavy precipitation of rain
in this month and in September and
the frosts do not come too early
The corn crop looks good al this
time, but it must have more rain. In
some parts of the country the growth
of the corn has already been retarded,
and in some cases almost ruined by the
lack of rain.
Mr.. Fitzgerald seems to think, how
ever. that a dry July and August would
indicate thai there will be a heavier
precipitation of rain this fall. The hot
weather, however, indicates a cool fall
which will not be good for the corn.
The hay crop this year has been a
failure. but there is a possibility that
fall rains will make the pastures
good this fall and that will compensate
somewhat.

was in the kitchen at the time, and
when Mrs. Reed returned to look after
her dinner, she found the fire out and
the stove covered with gasoline. She
wiped up the fluid and then attempted
to light one of the burners. She failed
to count on the vast amount of gas
which had escaped from the escaped
gasoline and the moment she approach
ed the stove with the match. there was
tremendous blast which staggered
her. The cottage swayed and rocked
as though a dynamite blast had been
let off in its interior, and for sec

was by the shock. Mrs. Reed expected

rather unsuccessful in their search. as
farmers were using their animals for
the harvest and were not willing to
dispose of them
Hogs and Cattle Scarce.
Although there are quite a number
CT stock hogs in the county, leading
farmer butchers declare that there arc
but few fat hogs to be secured for
tutchering. Farmers throughout this
vicinity disposed of their surplus stock
last winter and early this spring, when
as high as ten cents per pound live
weight was secured for the porkers
Owing to this heavy sale breeders
were scarce this spring hence the pres
ent shortage. Live hogs are bringing
about seven and three fourth cents at
present.
There are practically no cattle in
the county, except in the marsh" said
alt authority while discussing today
the present stock conditions in this
vicinity. Farmers will not raise them. -

demonstrated that it is a profitable
