Notice to Our Subscribers.

The Ranch frequently receives let
ters from subscribers complaining
about WIZ ng dates, wrong addresses
or finding fault because the paper was
not stopped the moment the time ex-
pired, or something of this kind. We
desire to say that the publisher of The
Ranch does not want to send the pap
er to anybody who does not want it. If
they will courteously notify us, we
will stop it at once. Though our ma
chinery for taking care of our sub
scriptions is as perfect as we can
make it, it is impossible to take care
of some twenty thousand names with
out making some mistakes, but we are
ready of course to correct them If our
subscribers will notify us. Our post
card department has proven to be very
popular. especially since the first of
the year, and every order will be fill
led as sooD as possible, but as these
cards come from New York, it takes
little time, and we ask our subscrib-
ers to wait a reasonable time before
complaining, then if they do not get
them, notify us.

Choose a Majestic Range.

The average farmers wife has her
own ideas on the subject of cooking
and ranging. TO her the perfect range
is that one that meets her every re-
quirement; whatever other good points
it may have she insists that it must
be a pefect baker 365 days in the
year. 1t must also be good cooker
and economical in its consumption
OF fuel. After she has satisfied her
self that the range she is looking at
meets these requirements, she wants
to make sure that it is durable. A
range isn't bought every day in the
year, nor every year in ones life. and
if she is wise woman, she will insist
that the range for which she invests
her husbands hard earned money
will be a range with a reputation-a
reputation for durability "a reputa
ton as a perfect baker year in and
year out. Before deciding upon the
purchase OF a range, the wise woman
will examine closely the merits of the
Great Majestic. 1t is, indeed, range
with reputation. 1t is perfect bak
er at all times.

Deny Sale Of U. S. Separator.

The United States Separator has
not been sold to the International Har-
vester Co. There has never been any
business connection between the Unit
ed States Separator and the Interna-
tiOnal Harvester Co., there has never
been any correspondence between the
Vermont Farm Machine Co. and the
International Harvester Co. in refer
ence to the Separator business, and
we have had no connection whatsoever
with the international Harvester Co.
in any line of business.
We make this statement because of
the following article published in the
DeLaval Monthly of January and re-
peated in substance in their FEBRUARY
number, and also because of inquiries
coming to us from publishers of dairy
papers, as to truth of the matter.
That article is as follows:
"Rumored sale of u. s.. Cream Sep
arator Business. -
elm keeping with previous rumors
the report comes to us upon what we
believe to be trustworthy authority
that the International Harvester Co.,
of Chicago has in some way taken over
the u. S. separator business of the
Vermont Farm Machine Co., and Will
hereafter control the same. The presi-
dent of tie u. S. concern is quoted
by commercial agencies as what would
appear to be an evasive denial of the
rumor. If the report is untrue and
there has been no deal of any kind
made, it would seem to be up to the
parties In interest to say SO plainly
and unequivocally and not to side
step it. -
We are denying this just as strongly
as possible, and denounce every word
of the story. The U. S. Separator is
not afraid of any contest on it's merits.
We want further to have 1t known that
the statement that Mrs. Hettie Green
has sold her interest in the Vermont
Farm Machine Co. is as false as the
other statement. Mrs. Green never
owned a dollar in the company nor
never loaned the company a dollar. -

tatives present as possible. It is I'M
derstood that the government of cities
by COMMISSIONS, the creation of ma

lishment of a uniform fee system in
public office will be advocated by the

1t is expected that Lake County will
have a large representation at the
meeting OF the federation for the rea-

this part of the state for the establish

roads to elevate their trade in cities
of a certain size will be urged.
This law will be strongly urged by

tempt to force open door of a box
car, which resisted his attempts, met
with a serious accident.
After several unsuccessful attempts
at forcing open the door Dodge tried
using greater force, and leaned his
whole weight against one edge of the
door and sought in that manner to
get 1t open. Finally without his sus-
pecting the weakened condition of the
door. after his several attempts. the
door suddenly fell from its hinges and
crashed onto his right leg, breaking

He was rushed to the Mercy hospital
where physicians reported that, owing
to his extreme age and the nature OF
the features, he would possibly be an
invalid always and unable to work.

LANDLORD
IS bAFFLED
BY THE SAND

Landlord ]. F. Schmidt. who con-
ducts the General Electric hotel, on Ad-
ans street. just north of Fifth ave-
nue.. is in despair because his guests
have to take sand paths when they try
to reach his hosiery.
The property in the vicinity is un-
fenced and a result whenever the
miniature Sahara monsoons start the
sand sweeps around the building like
snow drifts in December. Only Mr..
Schmidt finds that sand drifts do not
melt and that they are hard to shovel
away
Last night he appealed to the city
council to take action to remove the
sand
The street department can't do it,
said Commissioner Patrick c. Finerty,
who has more sand troubles than a
corporation lawyer
1T would take all of the money in
the city treasury keeping those sand
dunes quiet. You can remove tons of
sand away today and more will be
there tomorrow"

WATER! FOR
ST|EGL|Tz
PARK NOW
Especial to THE TIMns.)


East Chicago Ind, Sept. 2o.-Hurrah
for Stieglitz Park!
After a fight lasting as long as the
revolutionary war. the little settle
ment to the north of East Chicago Is
to have water. That is to say, 1t is to
have city water.
For eight years this matter of pro-
viding city water for Setieglitz Park
could be depended upon to- bob up at
least on an average of once every quar-
ter. Sometimes it would be up several
council meetings running, and again II
would be sunk for six months in OBJ
livion. so far as the city fathers were
concerned. but not far as the resi-
dents of Stieglitz Park were concerned
There were petitions, delegations, com
munications imprecations, implora-
tions, everything that could be brought
to bear was introduced, in order to gel
city water for Stieglitz Park.
The subject has been up several times
since the present city council was
sworn IN. but not until last night was
the order finally entered which will
make the much desired commodity {
realization to the Inhabitants of the
Park. Last night, however, the water
, and light committee, to whom had beer
referred the matter reported in it's IA
vor and C. L. Kirk was asked to ge
busy at once laying the mains and in
stalling service pipes.

Protests of South Siders Re-
garding Contract Letting
and Expose in Times In
duces Gary Aldermen to
Reject All Bids.
SUMMARY OF LAST
NIGHTS SESSION
GARY COUNCIL

1. Needing the protests OF the
south end taxpayers, who were
shown by The Times the methods
involved In letting two CONTRACTS to
the "twin sister, companies, a coun-
Gil majority decided to reject their
bid. and re-advertise for new ones.
This was accomplished when two OF
the aldermen joined the original OPP
moments, and thus assessments may
be reduced materially.
z. Motion passed that city aftor-
ney draw up tax levy ordinance ana
that the city levy be $1.61 as COM
pared with s1.O9, the one now cur
rent.
& Awarded contracts for sidewalk
improvements on several south end
streets.
a, Alderman Castleman wants to
reopen closed road through ONE mile
Of railrond tracks In United states
steel corporations railroad yards.
s. Received petition from south
east end people who are tired of
drinking swamp water and who
want the wnter company to extend
it's mains to their territory.

For the first time in the history OF
Gary the city council last evening by
a vote of four to three decided to re-
consider it's action with reference to
contract letting. AS result the South
Broadway and Ridge road cement side
walk contracts, aggregating thousands
of dollars. were not let. Last week the
council majority did Just the opposite.
1t slashed one bidder and paved the
way so that the contracts last night
would fall automatically, one to the
Gary and the other to the Cain Con-
struction companies
This was pointed out in THE TIMES,
together with a summary of previous
Incidents The people of the south end
read this and those who have already
been under high assessment pressure
were soon hot on the trail of their aid
ermen. Consequently Aldermen Feuer
and Rowley who were leading the
fight for the square deal, had the as
sistance of Aldermen Bowser and ST.

deavoring to get a share of the munich

the first time that whenever the Gary
or the Cain Construction companies
have been involved that protests have
ever been of avail. One taxpayer stated
that 1t may mean a new regime and
that the -"old ring will be smashed for
ever and that assessments will come
down fast.
