OF ruling your own affairs" Whereto,

demonstrating it by reading between

that to favor the pact is an indication
of disloyalty. A favorite quotation is
the statement once made by Sir John

Crown Point, Ind, Feb. 16.-Superin-

farm is about to issue notice on the
township trustees that it will be i'm
possible to accept any more township
charges at the poor institution. the
limit of capacity being reached this
week when 100 inmates are housed in
an Institution originally calculated to
care of 35 at the most. Mr. Neunfeldt
is coping with a situation that is ex-
tremely bad owing to the crowded con-
dition of the poor wards and should
sickness or contagious diseases break
out in the institution at the present
time it would be well nigh impossible
to save the place from fearful loss OF
life The mild weather has proven, the
saving grace at the farm this winter
as superintendent Neunfeld keeps all
the able bodied or less crippled inmates
out doors as much as possible, which
could not be done In cold weather At
night however Is when the dilemma
comes and every available foot of space
in the entire place is taken UP with
beds, cots and slung hammocks for the
inmates. Lake county certainly has to
solve the problem of less poor or more
