CUSTER SUIT MONDAY

Much to the chagrin of the lawyers
employed in the case the trial of
Alderman "Battleaxe" Castleman of
Gary viii begin in the Laporte superior
court at Michigan City next Monday.
This case is the custer suit wherein the
Gary Commercial club is seeking to
unseat Castleman upon the ground
that his resignation made on November
4. 1910, and subsequently withdrawn is
still in effect.
In the first trial which was held in
the Hammond superior court the jury
disagreed. Thereupon the defense Sc
cured a change of venue to Porter
county and from there the club moved
for and secured a change of venue to
Michigan City.
H. F. MacCracken and Greenlee and
Call of Gary are prosecuting the custer
suit for the club. McAler brothers o1
Hammond are chief of counsel fol

GOOD SHOW AT
THE ORPHEUM

The Orpheum theater at Hammond is
giving lot of real entertainment this
week for the money. The show is COM
posed of three good vaudevills acts,
in which one of the features is Helen
Linder, who calls herself the "Diminu-
tive Cantarice."
The best part of the show. however.
is the little musical showlet at the end
of the performance. which they call
The Oriental Maidens."
It Is combined display of feminine
loveliness and East Indian mysticism.
This act alone is worth the price OF ad-
mission. Its chief merit is the fact
that it is different 1t is a rare change
from the stereotyped form of musical
entertainment. The costumes and set
tings are beautiful.

What everybody thinks of the hello

that she is spunky thing and doesn't
care whether you get your phone mum

The Madonna Lily.

Remember to start this August bulbs
of the Madonna lily, a beautiful plant
which should adorn every garden. 1t
is not generally grown, perhaps. be-
cause of the necessity of starting the
bulbs in the late summer.
The soil should be fairly good, IN
clined to dampness, but we'll drained.
The ground should be worked over a
foot deep, and IL It ia poor manure
should be worked in below where the
bulbs are to be placed. The bulbs
should not come in contact with the
manure.
The bulbs should be planted at least
four inches deep and the bed may
then be covered with a light layer of
manure. Considerable growth will be
made in the fall and the following
spring or early summer will produce
beautiful fragrant white flowers on
stalks three or four feet in height.
After towering the plant dies to
the ground and remains dormant un-
til beginning its new growth late in
the summer. An established clump
should not be disturbed until the
plants begin to show signs of weak
ness or disease. This condition may
not develop for many years. and when
1t does another clump should be start
ed In a new location.

ELECTRIC AID TO CHICKENS
Real Inventor Of ArtloIai Incubation,
Mrs. A. e. w. Fraser, Seems to
Have Been Overlooked.

In all that has been written about
stimulating the Matching Of eggs and
the rearing of young chickens with the
aid of electricity the real originator
Of this idea seems to have been over
looked. This was Mrs. A. e. W. Fra
ser, who called the attention Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture to her method at least fourteen
years ago.
There Is no need at this late day to
go into the details Of Mrs. Fraser's
system; suffice 1t to say that 1t was
based upon the theory that the move
ments of the unmatched chick were
due to mild electromagnetic action
within the eggI that these movements
were reliable index as to the
strength Of the chick, and, in the event
of their not being as strong as they
should be, they might be stimulated by
a properly applied electric current.
Mrs. Fraser devised incubators for
this special purpose, and had such
success with them that she hatched
SO per cent. Of miscellaneous eggs and
reared to maturity per cent. Of the
matches.
Mrs. Fraser has invented ingenious
devices, but. like so many inventors,
has reaped little financial reward from
any OF them.

POINTS ABOUT THE FOUNTAIN
Excellent Rules to Be Observed by
Those Thinking About Setting Up
One Of These Ornaments.

A fountain should be garden orna-
ment; a statement that needs to be
kept in mind, for almost every one
knows of fountains that are neither
garden ornaments nor ornamental in
themselves. A very excellent rule is
never to set up a fountain unless it 10
good and beautiful in itself, and fills a
definite place in the garden scheme.
Do not, in any event, use 1t simply
because it happens to be handy. Fall.
ing water is always beautiful, and the
function of fountain is to introduce
falling water into the garden-a result
that Is not the less true because it
must first be projected upward before
1t can come down. Everything in this
device should look toward beauty. The
fountain itself should be good to look
upon, whether 1t be q simple vase, a
fish. bird or human figure. The more
complicated the device the more diff
cult the artistic problems involved;
for the human figure is Of all subjects.
the most difficult for the artist. If hui
man figures are used, they must be
well done, or 1t would be better to
break up the fountain and discard it
altogether The water part must also
be we'll arranged, and adapted in vol
ume and in form to the structure Of
the fountain. Finally. 1t must be so
placed as to harmonize with the gar
den scheme.

QUALITIES OF STREET TREES
Some important Points to Be. Con-
sldered Before the Road 10
Laid Out.

1t must be apparent to all that the
chief point of value in a street lies
in its general appearance, for If 1t
be not attractive the street were bet
ter bare, though there be but few
trees having no ornamentive value
for street planting. Nevertheless, we
desire the most ornate, and this must
first be considered.
The next most important point Is
It's drought resistance. We may be
able to care for q tree much or all
of the time. but we would be relieved
OF the possible danger arising from
long periods of neglect. Those trees
which look best with least care and
water will prove the only ones gen.
orally useful, for while one will give
ample care. his neighbor will give
none.
The next point must be cleanliness.
for II tree be too dirty It's litter
will detract from the beauty and tidi-
ness of the street sufficiently to Offset
any attractive appearance Of the tree
itself.
Fourth on the list must come
amount of care, consideration close
ly allied to the last.
Next comes rapidity Of growth. Not
until we are many centuries older will
we settle down to the philosophio
state of mind enjoyed by Europeans.
We wish tree to make "a fair show.
ing" in a year, not knowing that the
most rapid-growing trees are generally
the shortest-lived. We should learn to
plant for posterity--for generations to
come-as they do In all countries but
ours.
Sixth, and last, tree should have
good root system.

Summer stops tho Swing.

II you exert pound Of pressure
against man In a swing you'll start
him moving slowly ito and fro" If
you continue to exert a pound Of
pressure against him every time the
swing makes trip you'll soon have
him going 80 high that he almost
turns the whole circle. II you stop
pushing the momentum will die out
and the swing comes to rest at dead
center"
Winning trade follows the same
natural laws.
Advertisements are the force be-
hind the swing Of public favor. Each
new advertisement increases the mo-
mentum. Finally the accumulated
force of these numerous impulses
swings indifference to the buying
point.
II you stop advertising you lose
momentum.
The moral of which is: Don't stop
the business swing In summer. Keep
adding the pounds Of advertising

had struck the front wheel of the
wrecked car, causing it to yeer up

The authorities should thoroughly
investigate the facts, as the lives OF
three beings, who according to all
reports were travelling at a moderate
speed over a plain, open and straight
piece of road, have been snuffed out,
without warning, and if the cause was
the fast running of another car hit
ting their car, the reckless driver
should be punished. The facts in this
instance should be readily ascertain
ed, and if there was no touching OF
the cars the driver of the passing car
should be the most anxious to have IL
shown, but the fact is apparent TO ev-
cry one travelling any distance in an
automobile, that too many drivers
are content in escaping collision by
an inch when they could just as easily
have given foot or more.

Wenda In Lawns.

Aside from dandelions, plantain and
noxious grasses, the greater number
of common weeds may be kept out of
lawns by frequent mowings. In new
lawns nothing more encourages grass
or discourages weeds than close clip
ping as often as there is sufficient
growth for the machine blades to
catch. To be sure, there are weeds
that thrive splendidly under the treat
ment outlined, and we must get down
on our knees and pull them out by
the painful process known as hand
wedding" But then a good lawn Is
worth all 1t costs.
