Hammy Tullis Taking a Vacation

Hammy Tullis, the hustling agent
of the Adams Express Co. in this
city, after working steadily seven
days in the week for many, many
years, is enjoying his first vacation,
and will be off duty for two or three
weeks. With his wife and daughter
he went to Lineville Sunday to spend
a couple of weeks at the Mineral
Springs, being accompanied by his
brother-in-law, Lei 10y Shelton and
wife, of Decatur City. 1t is the first
vacation Mr.. Tullis has taken in the
memory of our oldest citizens, and
he surely deserves one. Mr.. c. L..
McGilvrey, of Charlton, a messenger
on the Charlton and Kansas City
run, is acting as agent in this city
during Mr.. Tullis' absence.
Manager Harry Penniwell, of the
Clarinda Poultry, Butter and Egg
Co., invited us over to the plant last
Friday to sample some "Lacto' the
new frozen food product which has
been brought out by the State Agri-
cultural College at Ames, which is a
cheap but very good substitute for
ice cream. 1t is made from sour
cream or clabber, and is a delicious
dish, can be Favored with any de-
sired flavor, and tastes like a fine
smooth sherbet. The "Lacto' we
sampled was mixed and frozen by
Will Beckley, the head butter and
ice cream maker at the plant.

Thanksgiving Day Will be Nov. 80

President Taft has designated
Thursday, November 3Oth as Thanks
giving day this year. 1t has been the
custom to fix the last Thursday OF
November in the month, and this
year there has been some doubt be-
cause November happened to include
five instead of four Thursdays. The
White House has been besieged by
theatrical managers and those in
charge of college football games to
settle this doubt so that definite ar
engagements could be made for the
usual array of special performances
and sports that mark the day.

CITIES WILL JOIN HANDS
IN MAKING BRIDGE REPAIRS

much as the Kennedy avenue bridge
had been built by the county and be-
cause the structure had deteriorated be-
fore II ever became the joint property
OF the cities OF Hammond and East CHI
cago, the county commissioners had oe-
cided to make an exception in this case
and defray half of the expenses for re-
pairs which will be considerable The
work being done by the county will also
obviate any inter-city chickering's about
the work, he explained, and when the
question was laid before the council all
present voted IN favor of the plans as
outlined. Part of Kennedy avenue
forms the boundary line between Ham
mond ana East Chicago. and therefore
the bridge is joint property.
The Kennedy avenue bridge is in
very bad shape. and as thoroughfare Is
an important one, the repair work can
not be done any to soon.
