East Chicago, Aug. 3o.-The picnic
given by the Lake county teamsters at
kindefs grove was a most successful
event. There was large crowd pres
ent and 5000 was cleared. Everything
went off in fine shape and the manage
ment received many compliments Oh the
excellent program and good order.
The principal event was the tug-of-
war between the South Chicago team
sters and those of Lake county, the
visitors being accorded the decision.
Both sides showed great strength, how
ever and the contest was watched with
interest throughout. Prizes were Of
fered for the various athletic events.
and the management wishes to take
this opportunity of thanking those who
contributed prizes for their generous
donations. Howard Locke is the presi-
dent of the local lodge at the present
time and he and his assistants were in
defatigable in preparing for the picnic.

Con Moore runs a saloon on the op-

It is understood that West Hammond
is also the favorite place of residence
for women who are living with men

Miss Virginia Brooks has received
a number of letters from people who
deplore the present condition of affairs
and say that the town needs a good
cleaning up.
Only recently a Chicago man came
to Monahan's place and rescued his
daughter from life of shame there.
She told of being picked up in Indi-
ana Harbor by Monahan and a saloon
bum who was with him. Evidence
against Monahan is now being collect
ed with the idea of having him prose

act. The girl was not only under age.

Gambling Wide Open.

All of the saloons in West Hammond
have slot machines in them and these
are being operated in defiance of the
laws of the state of Illinois. There
are also two gambling resorts in West
Hammond. There are West State
street in the rear of saloons. II is
said that the gambler can find any kind
of a layout he is looking Tor.
There are all kinds of rumors afioat
regarding the amount of tribute that
the city administration exacts for the
privilege of running these places. 1t
is understoodfthat the fee is 500 for a
resort and $50 for a gambling joint.
The people of West Hammond tell
shameful stories about the resorts. For
instance, during the hot spell it become
a practice among the inmates to go TO
the old ice pond near the Hammond
Glue works and go in bathing.
The bathing parties We're composed
of both sexes, and the entire party
found it entirely unnecessary at 2
o'clock in the morning to wear bath
ing suits.
The crowd finally grew to such pro-
portions that it was thought advisable
to dispense with the nightly dip in the
| old ice pond. The resorts dominate
West Hammond.

Cabbage is a crop which Is grown
by every market gardener located
within wagon-hauling distance OF an
important center Of consumption. The
statistics of the distribution OF the
cultivation OF the cabbage clearly indi-
cate the fact that this Is one OF the
most important crops grown by
market gardeners.
The counties near each OF the i'm

United States are almost universally
credited with a considerable acreage
Of cabbage. thus showing that the
gardeners OF these regions have given

Wholesale Business Slow.

Bradstreet's letter said:
While trade sentiment is rather
more cheerful. based upon the i'm
provement in crop prospects caused
by rainfalls in sections badly in need
Of moisture, actual business at whole
sale has been and Is still rather slow
to expand. For this, conservatism as
to the fall outlook, some price uncer-
tainties, as In cotton goods, where
sharp declines in raw material have
brought about revlsions in the goods
markets; tariff uncertainties and the
desire to obtain a clearer view Of crop
outturn. are all held contributory.
