B. Y. P. U. Err terta nm ,nr.

Last Friday evening at the hos
Roberts a B. Y. Z. u. entertainment
was given by the Social Committee of
the Baptist Young Peoples Union,
This home is ideally constructed for
the entertainment of friends OF its
inmates, and that night 1t made a
most attractive picture, with its
lighted halls and vine covered veran-
da, and the daintily dressed young
people fitting in and out of the
spacious rooms, grouped on the
porch or gathered in the parlor.
The Social Committee, consisting
of Misses Emma Green and Lottie
Ball and Mr.. A. G. Turner spared no
efforts to see that all had good
time. The crowd was a large one, as
wei, as most congenial, and the
pleasure of entertaining them was
rot in any sense slight one, and all
those who were guests as well as
the hostess, enjoyed the pleasant In
formality of the occasion to the ut
most. The guests upon arriving
we're invited into the parlor where
all manner diversions and delightful
music figured in the evenings ENJOY
ment and made the occasion one Ions
to be remembered.
After several interesting games
the crowd assembled in the dlnlni
hall where delicious refreshment
we're served. Those who were pres
ept at the entertainment went ava
realizing that to be a member OF tn
B. Y. p. U. is not only tralnln
themselves for service, but 1T
pleasing and helpful socially

How About A Centennial Celebration?

The County Fair Committee head
ed by d. A. Mcleod is not to be
outdone because of failure to get the
Fair just now. They are now advo-
eating very laudable enterprise,
which is the observation of the Tooth
birthday of Greene County which
properly should be pulled off this
year 1911, as the county was organ
lied IN 1911. They advocate the sus-
pension of the public schools and all
other public works for week and
getting the citizens sufficiently en-
Unused to turn out and spend a week
OF voluntary service working tie
public roads. Undoubtedly Greene
County should haye a Centennial
Celebration, but we doubt if this road
working business will appeal to all
the citizens as the way, but it would
do the public highways some good.

DEAL FOR ACREAGE
IS IMPORTANT ONE
Especial to THE TINES

Crown Point, Ind. April 2S--The
deal for the 300 acre Berry tract" of
land north of town in which nearly
$4,000 was involved proves to be one
of the largest and most important
property transfers taking place In Lake
county for some years. Crown Point
ers are wondering what is behind' the
several real estate deals of late and
all kinds of guesses and contectures are
being made as to what disposition will
be made with the properties recently
bought by Mr.. Meeker. Daugherty and
others. 1t is said the tract purchased
yesterday will be subdivided into five
and ten acre tracts and will o- pul OF.
the market at reasonable figures, to en-
courage the sale of other lots AMI
lands In which the Lake county getnle-
men are interested. II Is said another
Important real estate deal embracing
acreage property near Crown Point is
also being considered by the men in
terested in the recent deals.

MEETING
WAS WELL
ATTENDED

The Employers, Builders and Mate
iral Mems association of Lake county
held its regular monthly meeting in
Hammond last night and was attend
ed by about 75 members. Gary sent
delegation fifty strong. The meeting
was principally devoted to a discussion
of the situation as it now exists. The
contractors related how they are get
ting. along under the open shop prin-
ciple, and members who attended last
night. said this morning that there is
a spirit of confidence which apparently
is growing with each month.
1t was emphasized at the meeting
last night that the association, as
body, is not opposed to a uniform
scale of wages for the craftsmen and
for uniform number of hours to con-
stitute the working day, the issue still
being as to whether building work
shall be delayed because business
agents call out their men in sympathet-
ic strike with the electricians and
other crafts

While Victims of Theft
Are Asleep.

Tolleston was the scene of bold
robbery last night between 12 o'clock
and l o'clock, when burglars entered
the fiat of John Mckenzie, who lives
at the corner of Ernest court and Grace
street and secured $4,000 which they
took from the clothes of Mr.. NICK enzle =.
The robbery was not discovered until
this morning when Mr.. Mckenzie arose.
He became suspicious when he dis
covered his clothes lying in a heap on
the bedroom floor The money and a
gold watch were mis- sing. SO quiet
were the burglars in their work that
neither Mr.. or Mrs Mckenzie heard
them.
Entrance was gained to the fat by
prying open a window in the pantry.
This morning Mr.. Mckenzie found his
watch on the ground near the window
where the burglars had dropped it
while getting out of the window.

unfailing civility and pleasant ways,
made a special point of attending the

TEEN for the dead and their sympathy
for his family.
