MILK WAR MAY
BEGIN AT HUB
Crown Point Doesn't Fancy
Raise IN aEillz r-iee
Little Bit.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Crown Point, Ind, Oct. Grown
Points dairymen and milk dealers will
start on their new schedule of prices
this month and the alleged milk
combine" have printed notices SO that
the consumers may be aware of their
rules and demands. Milk will be raised
one cent per quart from six to seven
cents and cream also gets a big raise
skyward. The action of the dealers is
meeting with a good deal of protest
from the consumer, 1t being said that
one or more of the interested parties
were forced into the combine by threats
of a cut to three cents per quart IL
they did not accede to their demands. 1t
is also reported that an independent
concern will soon be started that will
sell milk at the old prices, first gettin g
the customers to sign contracts to take
milk of them If they can at the old
schedule.
What the outcome will be OF the latest
phase in the milk business no one
knows. but some interesting develop
ments are expected in the near future
and as is the general rule of things ia
a price raising or cutting was the
populace way to get the beneht or il
by being furnished with free milk with
a china pitcher thrown in before the
matter is adjusted.

IN LAKE COUNTY
High Catholic Dignitary
Puts in Busy Day For
This Region.

The Rt. Rev. Bishop Herman J. Alerd-
ing of the Ft. Wayne Roman Catholic

tions to the various Lake County con-
gregations, and the confirmation OF
classes in connection, and left for VAL

TAG DAY PLANS
MADE BY LADIES
Vari- Colored Badges Will
Henceforth Be Things
. of the Past.

Hammonds tag day, Saturday, Oct.
14th. is not to be marked by the vari-
colored badges OF former years, which
showed the amount of money the per-
son tagged had donated. This was de-
cided upon last week at a conference
between Mrs. VIII Lash, tag day chair
the Hammond's Woman's club. and Mrs
I. I. Modjeska. chairman for the Jewish
Ladies' Aid society, who have the ar
rangements in hand.
The two chairmen for tag day will
impress upon the workers not to solicit
any contributions from any on the
strength of any mutual church afflia-
tion that the worker and the person
whom she approaches may have nor to
solicit in behalf of any particular cause
other than that for which the two or
ganiza tions are pledged; to-wft: to heir
the needy in general. 1t appears that
in former years some of the workers
misunderstood the mission in which
they worked with the result that there
have been misunderstanding.
Thus far everything augurs well fol
the success of the day two weeks
hence. BY adopting a uniform colored
tag and eliminating the amount tag
the chairman hope to obviate criti-
sism that has been heard last year
The kind ladies who are willing te
work for sweet charity's sake are prof
iting by the experience of former year.

reason to expect the support of ever.

FOUR CHAPS
ON WAY TO
STATE PRISON

-Four young fellows were sentenced
to Jeffersonville by Judge Johannes
Kopelkes this morning. Nick Katana
adm MAX Toese were charged with
stealing a box of shoes from Israel
Bruzowski. The shoes were valued at
$33. The young men were each SEN
fenced to from one to fourteen years,
were fined So and costs and disfran-
chised for five years.
Clements Mejeral, charged with
breaking into the store of Steve Kaan

chain from Edward Filan, and upon
being arraigned before Judge Johannes
Kopelke, was sentenced to from one to
fourteen years in the penitentiary, fined
SIS and costs and disfranchised for five
years.
The plan of having criminals bound
oyer to the grand jury before the law
yArs can get to them in the county
jail is said to be productive of results
in that they plead guilty instead of
putting up a night in court.

TOMATOES ARE
SPO|L|NG IN FIELD
One Lowell Man Gave Away
so Bushels to Keep Them
From Spelling.

While people in Hammond are pay
ing Is cents a plate for tomatoes in
the restaurants and while the grocers
are making fancy prices from the sale
of them, the report comes from Lowell
that w. E. Belshaw, the father Of At
torney j.. w. Belshaw. gave away so
bushels OF sine ripe tomatoes to prevent
them from spelling.
Hundreds of working men in HAM
mond. East Chicago and Gary would
have been glad to purchase these to-
matoes in a city market at q moderate
price. but owing to the enormous prof
its exacted by the middleman, and the
fact that there are no city market,
where the FARMER can deal directly
with the consumer. the cost OF living
is just as high as II there was a famine
in the land.
Those who come from the country
districts south OF the manufacturing
districts of Lake county say that fruit
is rotting on the ground because the
farmers will not accept the small prices
that are offered BY the middlemen.

HAMMOND NEEDS
FEW MORE POLICE
Burglaries Due TO Fact That
Beats Take Up Too
Much Territory.

No new clues have been learned by
the local police in clearing up some
of the recent robberies which have
occurred in the past month.
The local department has been work
ing hard on the recent robberies. but
has been unable to connect with the
guilty parties.
"One man was arrested last week on
suspicion. but we were not able to
prove anything against him. said
Chief Austgen this morning. I'm his
clothes were found a razor and a
candle and we know he is a thief. but
when we do not get them in the act of
robbery we cannon prosecute them
Some of the robberies have been
done by local talent and 1 think it is
some of the foreigners who are out of
work and have to get money some
way. They are not professionals, be-
cause they will not take anything but
what is valuable. A professional thief
will take anything he lay his hands
on and will take chances on disposing
of it.
Chief Austgen said
The fellows who entered the E. &,
F. clothing store and other loop stores
were from Chicago and we will have
little chance of getting them. The last
we saw or heard of them were on the
north side when they Injured which
car they should take for Chicago. They
were the right fellows, as they had two
new suit cases which were stolen."
Il could use more men If L could
have them, said Chief Austgen, .but
the law only allows one officer to a
thousand population, so what am 1 go-
ing to do.
Our city is spread out so that II
is impossible for an officer to watch a
territory covering a mile and see ev-
| erything going on. Take the distric,
| on the north side who're an officer has
! to cover and is only able to cover one
/ street a night. 1t is easy for a rob-
i ber TO wait till he goes by and ther
enter some homo. We are up against
a mean proposition and we should
| have more men"

1t is so apparent that the sole pur-

credit Dean that it is inconceivable that
the attorneys for the defense would re-

be taken as positive evidence that the
cases against Knots and the other city
officials ares so desperate that as
last resort Dean is to be arrested on a
fiimy pretext in the hope that the very
fact of his arrest would impeach his
testimony before the jury.

South Lake County Men
Are Making Many Sales
in High Priced Farm
Lands and Many Instances
Are Recorded.

There is a remarkable amount of
speculation in farm lands in the vi
cinity of Crown Point and Lowell of
late, and some great deals report
ed. In fact, the people in the central
and southern part of the county are
said to be farm land mad and every
body who can spare the money is max
ing investments in farm property.
The stories they tell of deals that
have been made lately are on a par
with the stories that went out of Gary
in the palmy days two years ago. Here
are a few samples
Two years ago Clark Leary bought a
farm from William Hayden for s113 an
acre. He got two bumper crops off
from it and then sold it to a man by
the name of Meyer for $40 an acre.
Ernest Hummen brought twelve
Champagne and Urbana Uli) men to
Crown Point to look at farm land
They could not buy anything worth
while for less than 1925 to s160 an
acre.
Tom Strickland bought William Ko-
belins 160 acres for S92.50 an acre
and Strickland afterwards refused s12s
an acre for the same farm. George
w. Lawrence is probably one of the
most successful dealers in farm land
in Lake county.
Lawrence bought $40 acres of farm
land for. $40 an acre six years ago and
recently sold it for S100 an acre. A
man by the name of Benton mough
| 800 acres of it and sold it to an Ur.
bana man for s135 an acre.
There are other instances in which
from $40 TO $40 an acre has been made
1 in, fa in al
are a large number of deals beins
made every month, and big profits ar,
reported. No one seems to know wher,
