The Commercial Club of Indiana
Harbor and East chicago met last
night in regular session. a letter from
w j. Wood, chairman of the state
railroad commission was read in which
he stated that the ontS way to accom-
plfsh anything in reference to getting
a new Pennsylvania depot was through
the circulation of Ia mandatory petition
signed by twenty-five citizens and adj
dressed to the Railroad commission in
response to which the commission
would visit Indiana Harbor and In
vestigate the ned for a new depot.
Whether the commission would rec
commend the improvement would de-
pend on the present structures ade-
quacy to meet the demands made upon
its. Its unsightliness would not enter
into the question, but If found made
quate to the business transacted there.
the company will be ordered to build
forthwith.
The transportation committee to
which the communication was referred
thinks that there Will be little diff

The idea is to move the present depot

lowed by that of the president, DIR.

tary has been filed by DR. Herskovitz

bers.

Manager Umpleby of the Gary works
team spoke against President MeAleer
and the action of the Hammond team
In putting new players in the field after
August 1 in violation of the leagues
rules. If Gary would follow suit TO
meet the new material. it would be
necessary to turn out some of the
present players which would be un-
Justified. He also cited that In the pro-
tested game which Mr.. McAleer gave to
Hammond despite the contrary decision
of the board of directors was an un-
called for act and that in the final vot-
ing of the board of directors it was 5
to l and sonly~ Mr.. McAleer's man Fri
day. Abe ottenheimer of East Chicago
voted against u.s.
His colleague Mr.. Carr declared that
Gary got no square deal. that the Off

the league and that the president of
the league was simply a figurehea

Predicts Gnry Pennant.
Manager Umpleby declared that the
league baseball season was too long
for profit He also made it plain that
If Gary got out of the league that he
could book some good outside games

the league would dissolve on Friday
night and that theS directors would
award Gary the pennant.

county and this section, he thinks
will be found ideal for the propaga'
ltion Of this much dreoded pest,
With its many fine alternating
places, the mild climate which will
give such a long period for growing
it will be as attractive to the boil
weevil as it is to those people who
resort here from less favored china
ties and it will have fine chance to
grow and flourish.
Mr.. Evane explained how the
boil weeviI operated, attacking the
plant in squares, the females having
$40 eggs to the square. -Yeeyils

to begin the propagation of their
species over again. tits estimated,

Diversity Of crops as the great So
luton of the fight against the weevil
is what Mr.. Evans is preaching to
the farmers of sections threatened
by this invader and this was stressed
at length in his speech here, inn
pressidg it upon his audience that
the growing Of crops Of grain, varied
produce and stocks was the surest
way to guard against the invasion
and inroads Of this great enemy and
it was the only way in which to cut
eff its depredations when the inva-
sion had already begun. He urged
immediate work in this section of
the state as means to that end as
the time is near at hand when the
boil weeyil may be expected to put
in an appearance here.
The address was listened to with
great attention and evidently made
much impression upon the audience.

S. VanBuren Webb, of Hahira,

over my ground with disc harrow
both ways and in this way ! cut up
the corn stalks ana weeds, then |

with a two-horse pillow. Afterwards

harrow to pulyerize the subsoil that
the pillow brought up beneath. In
April / laid off my rows four feet
apart with a middle breaker. | put
the first fertilizer in the bottom OF
the furrow; upon this I planted the
corn, placing it II inches apart IN
the drill. / ploWed the corn five
times and hoed it once. The first
blowing was deep, the corn was first
sided and about 500 pounds of fer
tilizer was placed in the bottom OF
the siding furrow. The next plow-
ling was not quite SO deep another
500 pounds of fertilizer was applied
lin the same manner. At the third
blowing the same amount Of fertili-
ger was again applied which was
1.-The last. About 10days interviewed
between these three plowings anc
