SHOULD TAKE DAILY

Commissioner Fred Philips Gives
Reasons Why Farmers Shonid
Read Newspapers

The farmer should subcribe for
and be a regular reader of his coun.
ty newspaper and a good daily news.
paper, or these papers have no req-
son for being in existence. They
are here in response TO a demand
and to meet long heartfelt want.
The business and professional
men have long since recognized the
value of the comfy and daily pa
pers. There il not single reason
why a merch9t or a professional
man should rad them, that does
not apply to pe farmer with double
force.
The farmelgho reads his county
and daily paers and one or more
good agriculnal journals, is live
progressive i'mer, one who is do
ing better pd better each year;
who is keelng abreast of the times.
The rurl4 free delivery system
was establiaed in order to give the
farmer thaews while it is news.
to enable lm to have not only his
county paer, but the daily paper
as well.
The fsner is necessarily a bust
ness ma If he is not, he should
be. If e is not business man he
will SOC cease to be anything. The
bushes nan must know the mar
ket nesiconcerning his products.
He mt know the latest that effects
his inrests and the farmer or mer
chantah get this only by taking
go daily paper to get general
viewfthe condition of the mar
kets' which much of his products
wind must go.
e newspapers of today devote
mt space to the disseminating OF
ag;ultural Information and the re-
SUI pfrecent investigations and ex-
pments along agricultural lines,
vch are far in advance of bulle-
u and publications.
- my opinion, the press of Ark
sas is d0ing more to spread the
ctrlnebf better agricultural con.
ton, thsn is any other force in
e Stae at the present time.
Thee is every reason why the

Ten PER
DIEM FOR

Gary's City Engineer, Who
Resigned His Office Be
cause of Meagre Salary, Is
Given Substantial Raise
by Board of Works.

At meeting of Gary Board of Public
Works yesterday A. P Melton who sew
eral weeks ago handed in his resigna-
tion to the boa I'd. was appointed con-
sulting engineer for the city at a salary
OF $40. per day.
When Mr. Melton resigned he gave
as his main reason that the salary of
$500 per year was not sufficient to
warrant him keeping his job. The
board took action Mr.. Melton
resignation until yesterday for the rea-
son that they could find no one in Gary
efficient enough for the office and they
felt 10th to dispense with his services,
as Mr. Melton has been in Gary prac-
tically since the city started and is
familiar with every public improvement
that has taken place
Mr. Melton was absent from the city
yesterday when the board made the
appointment so Mr. Melton did not take
any action until this morning when he
discussed the matter with Mayor
Knots and J. ]. Nyhof the other mem
bers of the board and formerly accept
ed the appointment. Mr.. Meltons po-
sition as a member of the Board of Pub
lie Works is changed by the new ap-
pointment. as he will no longer be on
the board.
The board also discussed the plans
for the new sewer system for Toileston
and ordered the work to go ahead with
all possible haste. Bids will be adver-
tised now that there has been no re-
monstrance against the big drain.
A meeting will be held this after
noon to determine the appointment OF
a city engineer and there are three
candidates after the plum-Frank Hold
SON w J. Fulton and c. A. WfIliston.
The latter by reason of his present
position as chief draughtsman is most
likely TO land the job.

Flight at Wichita, and
Hated to Come Down So
Soon.

Indiana Harbor, May 9.-The Thomas
Mauger family have received from
their daughter, Mrs. James Ward,
formerly Miss Maude Mauger, details
of her first flight in an airship with
her husband. The flight occurred in
Wichita last Friday and the announce
ment that a woman was to try her
luck in the air had the effect of Great
ing a stampede on the grounds where
the aviation meet was in progress.
Makes Statement.
Mrs Ward makes the following sim
pie statement. regarding her first flight
in her note to her family. Il made my
first flight Yesterday and I certainly
wasn't one bit nervous and was willing
to go up again. I am going up again
today. 1t certainly is great"
The young bride enclosed a clipping
from a Wichita paper which gives a
thrilling account of the incident. as
follows:
las a parting salute to the crowd
Announcer Walsh stated that Mrs. Jim
mie Ward would take her first ride in
an airship. This caused a stampede
toward Wards machine. Men, women
and boys almost fought to get close
view of the start. The crowd formed
in a shape, with the machine at the
acute angle. The police were power
less to push the crowd back.
Calls Her PIucky.
But the crowd did not have long to
wait, for as soon as the photographers
had taken a half dozen shots at Mr..
and Mrs. Ward the plucky little woman
and her youthful hero rode away for a
carefully engineered flight.
AS the machine left the ground the
crowd broke forth in cheers, more for
the young wife than the husband. Ev-
cry appeared to be holding his
breath.
Ward did not attain an altitude of
over $50 feet at any time. This pleased
the crowd as everyone hoped that

Several days ago the announcement
was made that the park board was CON
sidering the purchase of 262acre
sand dune tract at Miller at a price of
$1,000 an acre. The land alone would
cost s3e6.s0O while another $4,000
would be NEEDED to place the centuries
old dunes in proper shape.
Had he not been restrained by the
other members of the board Castleman.
1t is said, would have entered into nego-
tiations at once TO purchase the tract
at this high price. He contemplated the
issuance of $500, 900 bond issue the in
terest alone on which would amount to
$4,000 annually. However, II was
pointed out that under the statutes the
park board could issue but $4,000 N
bonds this year as Gary's assessed valu-
alton permits of no greater amount.
