ROAD DRAG SEASON.

Any Month if the Conditions Arc
Right For It's Use.
The road drag is like the manure
spreader-in style any month in the
year if the conditions are right for its
use. Other machines are put in the
shed TO wait their season, but the road
drag should always be ready TO hitch
TO If we are to use it to the best ad-
vantage. The accepted time for the
use Of the drag Is when the roads are
drying up after the rains. 1t is sur
prising what an immense amount of
good can be done the roads in an hour
at such time. Enough dirt is brought
in to keep the road well rounded up
the water is allowed to run off, and the
mud is puddled and plastered down 80
that the surface is quickly dried and
compacted ready to shed the next
shower little better. Some people
seem to have a wrong conception OF
the time to drag. ! have seen one oil

their material on the disputed terri

A report reached the police station

were at the corner of Ridge Road and
Broadway unloading several carloads
OF rails and material to the west of the
company's right OF way and it is said
an attempt will be made today or this
evening to commence the track build
ing.
Chief Martin dispatched an extra
squad of police to the scene to assist
those already on hand and another
pitched battle will follow If any move
is made on the part of the Seaman

with keen interest by the people OF
Gary and just what the developments
of the next twenty -four hours will be

coed at once with the erection of the

had been subscribed to insure the full
quota of the $4,000 bond issue. The
banks have agreed to loan $4,000 to
the ass ociation, taking first mortgage
on the property as security.
The plans for the new building.
drawn by Architect J. j. verplank
have been completed and approved by

GARY PASTOR URGES
CHURCH UN|F|CAT|ON

An unsigned article captioned Can
the Churches Unite?" in the current Is
sue of the Spectator, church maya
zine published at Valparaiso is from the
pen of Rev. L. W. Applegate, pastor of
Christ Episcopal church.
The Gary pastor states that he has
made lifelong study of the church
unity subject-organic-ac unity
among christians. He believes in such
a thing. considers it practical and
thinks it ought to be accomplished.
DR.. Applegate says that the present
age is manifesting actual longing
for the unihcation and he thinks that
the time for its actual demonstration
is at hand. He has reached the con-
clusion that the advocates of church
unity have begun at the wrong end. and
| ARE trying to work backwards-from
| effect to cause rather from from cause
to effect.
| They have studied their differences
in custom and belief and sought ways
| to harmonic them They have con-
| sidered what concessions each can
! make-what must be surrendered-for
the sake of united effort. They have
tried to find a basis of agreement be-
fore they unite. We all know what a
difficult task it is to get any man to
give up anything that has been part
of his religious life. 1t ought to be diff
ficult: for 1t represents the life train
ing of LIFETIME, the sacred associations
and a mans religious convictions. II
a mans church means anything to him
he cannot be exotected, and ought not
to desert it.
The writer says that christians mus
work together and must worship to.
, gether. If this is done but few thing:
will require formal action. To star
the ball rolling the clergyman say.
that one does not need to give up hi:
denomination but merely surrender hi:
sectarian bigotry and rivalry tendencie.
The sooner these are given up the
better, unity or no unity.
In conclusion DR.. Applegate suggest:
that the various congregations wor
ship together, systematic their worl
and instead of rivalry maintain har
mony. He cites the apostles creed
which is a part of all beliefs as the
creed basis for the unified church. L
fair trial were given the unity idea
he thinks that it would be a success.

he retired he left a small light burn

caused the light TO go out The In

room filling with gas similar con-
dition was found downstairs when the
small of gas by some of the early
breakfasters led to the discovery that
the gas which Mr.. Thomas leaves burn
