diffusion of agricultural knowledge,
and means to this end should be pro-

Joseph Kasper Declares that
Times Story Was Correct
and that 80 Per Cent of the
Business Men Turned the
Picnic Committee Down.

It's palpable and customary attempt to
discredit THE TIMES with all of the
business men and the union men of
News in its issue of last Saturday at
of the preceding night, which was to
the effect that the Trades and Labor
Council picnic Committee was finding
difficulty in getting donations from
some of the business men. The original
story of THE TIMES is substantiated by
the fact that the committee yester-
day appointed three men who are to
canvass the field again. The three
men are Thomas aHrle, Fred French
and Barney Carter.
Joseph Kasper, member of the pic
mic committee, speaking for himself,
and j. J. Sullivan, the president of the
Lake Sounty Trades and Labor Coun-
ell, and Messrs. Hunt and Reed, mem
bers of the picnic committee, today
repeated the statements which he had
authorized a member of the commit
ittee. and which were printed Fri
day evening in THE TIMES
He said, THE TIMES not cn1y printed
correctly what information it had re-
ceived from me. but I can say further
that no fewer than 80 per cent of the

ROAD IN BAD SHAPE.
The automobiles have cut the road to

there are places where the road is al
most impossible.
Englehardt is circulating a petition
to ave the road widened to a width of
20 feet. 1t is now paved to a width
of IL feet. The Improvement for which
he is petitioning is to extend from
the Hobart township line to the North
Township line.
Its Importance is due to the fact
that all of the cities of Northern Lake
County pour their south bound traffic
into this one road and whether a We
hicle is bound for Hobart. South Gary,
