to arrest him on charge of vagrancy
He was only too glad to plead guilty
in order to get to go to the county Jail
He was frank enough to give the rea-
son for his action. There are many
others who are not frank. The
least a judge can assess against a
drunk is a dollar and costs. amounting
to eleven dollars. Failure to pay this
amount means that he has to stay
eleven days at the county jail. 1t
costs one dollar to have him taken
there and after arriving there 1t costs
the taxpayers of Lake county forty
cents day to feed him.
In the month of February there were
nearly $50 dodgers in the Hammond
police station. Many of these were pro-
fes sional hobos who should have been
sent TO the workhouse and who court

Under the circumstances it was cheap

the town.

The general impression is that the
resolution calling for the resignation
of Chief Of Police Lewis had something
to do with the exodus OF those who
cleared out before the meeting con-

DEATH OF LITTLE GIRL

End Follows an Illness of.
Several Days

No sadder death has occurred here
than that of little Hilda Hopes,
the pretty little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chase A. Hopes, which occurred
at an early hour Sunday morning, re-
suIting from a brief illness with pneu-
monia. Recently Mr.. and Mrs. Hopes
came from Pennsylvania to reside fol-
a time in Americas, when their only
child, Little Hilda, aged three years
was stricken with measles, soon re-
sulting in pneumonia. Despite the
most careful attention and nursing
the little life succumbed to the drea5
malady, and yesterday morning thC
tiny form was carried back to the
stricken home in distant Pennsylvania
to find a final resting place.

STILL WAITING ON rain
TO FURTHER The WORK
Sumter is Far Behind on
Rainfall

Farmers about Americas are hoping
that the old adage that three white
frosts brings rain will be verified hare
as there is nothing quite SO much need
ed as a good, old-fashioned, long con-
tinued rain. With the exception of
light showers which were not enough
to lay the dust here, there has been
only one rain this year, and that was
the first week in January With the
passing of the cold wave spring plant
ing will open up in earnest and the
farmers are very anxious to have a
good rain to soften the soil as in many
parts of the county the earth is very
hard and dry. The question of water
is getting serious and many wells are
reported dry. Instead of the series
of wet years" which some of the
weather prophets thought would be-
Gin this year, it looks now as if the
same conditions which have prevailed
here for several years is about to be
repeated.

LINGERIE GOWNS
TO Be ELABORATE
Lace and Embroidery Used
in PPOfuSiOR

New York, February 27-The elab-
crate lingerie and net frocks which are
figuring among the advance models
give one an idea that the summer sea-
son is not to be set to the tune OF
simplicity, even though models Of de-
murely simple air do abound,
In the fine lingerie models open work
embroidery plays an important role,
being used freely with lace and with
other hand embroidery and one often
finds bold open work designs on COM
paratiyely heavy linen entering into
combination with the sheerest and fin
est of handkerchief linen, French lawn
or batiste.
The lower part of the skirt, for ex-
ample, may be entirely of the heavier
linen weighted with heavy embroidery
while the rest of the frock, say for
trimming motifs, may be fairly cob
webb in it's fineness. Another idea fire.
Quently developed shows very sheer
material yelling bold embroidery
in open work and raised embroidery.
the latter showing frankly also in
trimming bands or motifs.
Heavy laces, too, are used for con-
trast with the sheer soft materials and
like the heavy embroidery will drag a
soft fulled skirt down into the approv>
ed straight and narrow lines
Irish lace is lavishly used having aD-
parently quite regained the popularity
which seemed for a time to be waning,
says the New York Sun.
The venetian, which has been one OF
the most pronounced favorites during
the winter and has never been regard
ed as entirely suitable for use with
lingerie materials, is applied to the
cotton marquisettes, voiles, lawns and
linens, though usually in combination
with other laces and in motifs set IN
with other laces rather than in bands
or large quantities.
Then there are certain heavy and eff
fective Russian and filet and bruges
and cluny and Italian laces which con-
trast piquantly with the vaporous stuff
and are usually softened by quantities
of finer lace, preferably valencinnas,
although malines and other laces not
additionally associated with lingerie
are also used. Since no one
dreams of rubbing a fine lingerie frocE

regulations may be laid aside and what
