According to the local milk dealers,
the farmers are putting "one over" on
the dealer every time they ship can
of milk. The practice of under meas
urfng can of milk is said to have
been going on to such large proper
tions that Jacob Friedman, the city
sealer, may cause the arrest of some of
the Offenders
Within the last few days he has
measured in the neighborhood of 800
cans of milk. He found that the num-
Der of cans measured lacked about 100
quarts of milk in round measures.
At the Hammond dairy, Inspector
Friedman measured forty-nine cans,
and found an under-measure of thirty
two quarts.
AT that rate" said Louis Klitzke of
the Hammond dairy, I'VE will be the
losers of thousands of dollars If this
practice has been on for years at this
rate. I doubt whether $4,000 would
cover my losses"
Inasmuch Mr.. Friedman is not only
city sealer for Hammond, but is an
assistant to Pure Food Inspector F.
Tucker, Mr.. Friedman will have iuris-
diction beyond the city limits and 1t
would not be surprising to see him
reach out into the farming district and
jerk up a number of milk producers
who have wilfully under measured
their cans.

from his own experiences. how the
lawyer at times is compelled to play
professional politics to win his cases,
and added that he had as city attorney
never taken chance on the judiciary,
fearing an adverse Judgment from a
republican Judge, because he himself
was democrat. He said that he al
ways had taken the precaution to in
clude the signatures of at least BIZ
partisan number of attorneys when he
had occasion TO appeal a case. 1t
was apparent that Mayor Becker meant
well and meant to give his younger au-

for young class to swallow.

Dor canal the water level of the Grand
Calumet river has fallen at least two
feet. He says that this is remarkable
In view of the fact that it is noticeable
at time of the year when the melting
SHOWS and the spring freshets usually
make the river so high.
AFFECTS COST OF LIVING.
The draining of the marsh near Hess
Vile is important for the reason that
while there are now thousands of acres
of land which are not even suitable for
the growing of marsh hay they would
become available for truck gardeners
and would make the valley of the Little
Calumet the garden spot of the country.
With large garden spot in close
proximity to the cities of Hammond,
East Chicago and Gary the cost of gar
den truck would be lessened and the
cost of living would be reduced to Just
that extent.
WILL LOWER LEVEL.
Mr.. Fischer believes that the opening
of the Indiana Harbor canal will lower
the level of the Calumet river at Ham
mond to extent that will insure q
much better drainage in the future
than the city has ever had In the past.

READY TO FIGHT.
BY this time the bartender was in a
fighting mood. He threw up his bar
rag, united his apron and informed
the proprietor of the place that he
guessed he would have to look for an
other bartender.
The bartender told him to go back
and serve them all with three fingers
of Bourbon. The men were still lined
up at the bar waiting for their drinks
They watched the entrance SUSPECT
ously, and each was figuring out the
quickest way to the rear entrance
Some one remarked that there ought
to be red light over that rear en-
trance in case of fire. A man who had
been deputy sheriff once entered the
place and nearly started a panic.
Finally the three fingers" was
served to each man regardless Of what
had been ordered, and as the contents
went ito the spot there was a sigh
of relief which amounted to a chorus

Joseph Didn't
Know What He Drank.

The first witness on the states side
one Of the evidently unwilling testifiers
that the state has been repeatedly up
against all week, was Joseph Fishbien
He testified that he had been in the
place of Mcbride possibly ten times, de-
scribed the bar-room and fixtures
Heard that changes made after expira-
tion of liquor license was that 0he back
bar was cleared of liquor and replaced
with soft drinks. Witness said he had
asked for a drink, but didn't know
what he got. Called for beer and, served
in glass five inches high; got an un-
labeled bottle.
On cross-examination Fishbien. who
at first professed to be a near expert
on the question of beer couldn't say
what 1t was. Said what he drank did
not taste like beer; was lighter than
beer. The bartender told him they
didn't have regular beer: said mead was
all he had. Near to noon Attorney Nc
Aleer caused ripple of excitement in
the courtroom by his objections to
Matthews serving as assistant, calling
the former anti-saloon lawyer butt
fnsky." Judge Peterson ruled that as
long as the prosecutor did not object,
and that Matthews was a regular prac-
titioner and in order, he would over
rule the objections to Matthews being
connected with the states side of the.

Big Cars Tried.

The big 1nterurban cars, which will

place of the smaller cars which have
been installed for city traffic The big

ficiently so that they will be ready for

brook no delay. AS a man who had
argued extradition cases in the United
States supreme court. and who is con-
sidered an authority on the subject. his
lecture was exceedingly interesting.
Time permitted him to take up only a
few of the principles of the law of
extradition. He pointed out landmarks
that must be kept in view in dealing
with a case of extradition. as. for in

out many other phases of the law

corning lawyer to understand the law
in all Its intricacies.

Mayor Becker, who was at the meet
ing upon the invitation of the school
and a friend of Mr.. Geeting, ad-

not think the code a good thing, but

said.
Being politician, it was apparent

The selection of the jury consumed
