Farmers Hold
Institute at Library
E. S. Myer was Elected
President Attention to
Domestic Scierce

Monday the Farmers institute
which is an annual feature was
held in the Library building. A
fair sized crowd was out and good
membership was pledged for next
year. At the business meeting E.
S. Myers was elected president, G..
Sch4 oker vice president and A. G..
Nelson secretary and treasurer
The subject of Mr.. Whee!tr's
address in the afterno' was Geo
nomic Production of Live Stock on
the Farm" His sui ject was well
handled and many of the farmers
expressed themselves in sympathy
with his ideas. "Do we get a
dollars worth of Good Roads for
81 of Taxes" was talked of by
County Ass -ssor C. C. Bowman.
By comparison it would appear
that the roads in this vicinity are
better in proportion than in other
districts. However, it was the
general opinion that the way of
spending the road money might be
improved for the greater good of
the community.
Mrs. Simmons, of the State Agri.
cutura! College spoke on the sub
ject of ''The Daily Diet Her
talk was very interesting and
handled In an easy matter Of fact
manner.
In part Mrs. Simmons said "The
appetite is the most natural, and in
most cases, the more nearly correct
standard 10 judge good by. The
appetite is Largely matter ofltrain-
ing and habit, so that 10 set rules
may be prescribed for the amount
or kind of food to be consuaed by
a healthfui, nurmal aad mature
person.
Penny of food properly bl!anced
among the starch, fats, sugars and
other var cites of nutritive proper
ties, aud well cooked and tempting
ly is the secret of good health.
Earlier in the afternoon Mrs
Simmons gave ST ort talk, "Food
for the sick.' Some of the sugges-
Il, ms gwen were, 10 pay attention
TO the nutritive properties of the
food, its dIgeslIbihry and lis appeal
TO the sense Of sight and taste OF

The session adjourned to meet
next year at date similar to this.

to 0 For c. H. S.

Coach Merrill and his fighting
eleven invaded Baldwin Satui day
and In sharply contested battle
won by score of nineteen 70 moth
ing. This is the only second time
this season that Baldwin has been
scored on, and they felt pretty
badly over their defea'. Chanute's
team had the necessary "pep' to
go right through Baldwins defense
and had to punt but twice in The
whole game to make their gains.
Gray made touchdown s'd
then Buck Clarke with spectacular
forty.hve yard run carried the bali
within a foot of the line. Shorty
Barnes was then sent over the line
with It. Barnes also made another
touchdown and kicked goal once
out Of the three tries.
In the beginning of the season
Chahute was defeated by Psrson,
and later defeated Parsons on the
Chanute field. A third game has
been arranged with Parsons to be
PLAYED on the Parsons field next
Friday. Burlington has been chal-
lenged for post season game.
The boys feel that they have HIT
their stride and that another game
with Burlington would not tell the
same story that was told in the
game Of three weeks ago.
The line up for the game Sa'ur-
day was center. Bowets; left guard,
Goats; left tackle, Hamiltou; left
end, {. Foose; right guard, Owens;

HAMMOND PEOPLE
HAVE EYES OPENED
Special Assessments on For
syth Ave. Frontage Aston
ishes Bargain Hunters.

Stung, Wow. how those Hammond
people who bought Forsythe avenue
frontage in East Chicago were suing.
They thought they had an easy thing
1t is said that so many of them
bought Forsythe avenue property that
the street is actually owned in Ham
mond.
A few days ago the East Chicago Co.
sent out statements of the amounts
due for special assessments. interest.
etc. To the amazement of the Ham
mond residents it was $50 a lot
A number of well known Hammond
people have from 10 to $50 feet of
frontage. They were hit amidships
when they read their notices 1t was
almost unbelievable. Ten dollars a
running foot for sidewalk and pave
ments
South Holman street. in Hammond,
the best street the city has, street
that is paved with asphalt macadam
did not cost that much. The assessment
on F'orsythe harks back to the days
when grating politicians made a
cleanup on every improvement that
went in.
1t is estimated that Hammond in
vestors will have to pay in the neigh
poTHoOu Oh SZV,VUu INTO the treasury
of East Chicago before the pavement
is paid for and then 1t Will have to be
replaced with another.
The property has a great future but
the people of Hammond think it simp-
ly outrageous that they have to pay
such enormous assessments. Had the
improvements been made honestly it is
believed that they ought not to have
cost more than $40 lot for each in
stallment.
The wisdom of the East Chicago
company in putting the property on
the market is apparent and Hammond
people now understand why it is that
the East Chicago Co. after a career o:
20 years in one of the best localities
in the region is not able to pay divi
dend and will no more than break
even on their deal.
