CHARGES WERE NOT
SUSTAINED BY court

In the case Of Joseph kuzel VS. the
city of West Hammond ct al. in which
the plaintiff sought to enjoin the city
officials from paying in the neighbor-
hood of 81 600 attorneys. fees, the court
denied the Injunction, dismissed the bill
of complaint and gave tl1e defendants a
jHdgment fer the costs OF the case.
This is plainly defeat for Miss
vtrsinia Hsasoks. and makes a;5par-
srit that the shrn of Atwood. Psaase and
: Loucks rad IA least a legal claim for
the attorneys feet which they demand
ed OF the village.
TIE fact that the court took no ac-
tion in this matter makes It apparent
that II did not think that Attorney
Fred II. Atwood made an attempt to
deceive the court. as THE TINES was
advised.
1t also appears that THE TINES in
formation TO the effect that Attorney
Atwood was likely TO be charged with
subornation of perjury is incorrect.
This is also true of the report that
Village Treasurer Zimmerman would be
charged with the same offenses
No mention OF perjury was made at

Democrats of Hammond are looking

principles possible. It is true, 1t will be
denominational as far as politics is con-

1t shall be an organization for one man
or set of men or candidates. The aim
Is to make the club representative of
the democrats of Hammond, an organ
ization of which the city shall be proud.
In sense it shall be. a civic organiza-
ton which will work for the welfare
of the community. A good live demo-
cratic club will do much to give Ham
mond the standing that belongs to 1t
among the other cities in the state. and
while it is out of my sphere to make
suggestions to my republican friends. I
would say that a republican organiza-
ton along the same lines like the demo-
cratic club which we propose to have
here would double the city's prestige.

ahead to organize a Calumet Demo-

market.
1t Is necessary to acquire thor
ough knowledge of the various
breeds of horses, endeavoring to
learn the merits and failings OF each.
so that one may breed what he can
get best prices for. He must acquire
knowledge that will enable him to
breed his mares to such stations as
will produce what he desires.
The breeder should read the agricul-
tural press and the government bulle-
tins to learn what other breeders are
doing. In this way he win learn many
things Of great value to him He
win also learn much at the Institutes,
and by attending the fairs and horse
shows he can see for himself what
others are doing. He should be on the
lookout at all times for things that
will enable him to do his work to bet

There is a natural trend toward i'm

FATTEN HOGS ON SOY BEANS
Combined With Corn II VIII Pro
duee Remarkable ResuIts-caIn
Of One Pound Daily.

Those who live In the regions where
the soy bean thrives-a pretty big
area that-may find that crop a
money-maker as a means Of fattening
hogs, says an Alabama bulletin.
Corn alone. as is now well recog-
nized. is a deficient food for pigs. al
though many farmers still use It ex-
clusively. But combine 1t with a pas
tureage Of such material as the soy
bean and the results are remarkable.
In Alabama the average daily gain for
hogs fed on corn alone was two-fifths
Of pound, whereas when soy bean
pasturage was substituted for part of
the corn ration the gain was raised to
more than a pound. daily.
Expressed in another way, It cost
IL cents pound for the hogs gain
in weight when he was fed corn, hut
only cents pound with the COM
mon feed. The difference is rather a
nice margin Of profit.

Knowledge and skill are two things
that are necessary to success In horse
breeding. Theory may be Of some as
sistance. but knowledge and expert
ence are the main things that lead to
success.
We may reason out that such and
such a thing is proper, but experience
may prove that our reasoning was en-
tirely wrong.
The breeder must have some knowl-
edge OF the market II he expects to
raise more horses than he needs for
his own use. He must know what
breed Will come nearest to comply
Ing with the demands of the market.
The man who breaks animals that
suit his own fancy may have some
thing that there Is no demand for.
Different sections of the country
seem to furnish markets for different
sorts OF horses. In a region where the
greatest demand Is for carriage and
saddle animals It is not a very good
place to sell draft horses, nor is a
country where there is a great deal
OF hauling to be done, a good place
for selling fancy driving horses.
The breeder must consider these
