h. S. ATHLETICS ARE
AROUSED LAST NIGHT
New Vim to Be Put This
Year In County Athletic
Contest by Local Boys.

Hammond's high school spirit for
banquet in the Central school auditori-
um, at which covers were laid for 100
Eighty high school boys were in at
tendance. and heard short after-dinner
addresses by some of the faculty mem
bers of citizens who take a civic pride
in high school affairs.
While the Hammond high school will
undoubtedly put strong team in the
field for the Lake county athletic meet
on May 25th, 1T is still a question
whether the school this year has tim
ber strong enough to be entered in the
state athletic meet, which will be held
the 18th of this month. The early
date, making perfect physical training
an impossi bility in a handicap for the
local boys, but from now the most
likely candidates will go into earnest
training for the contests. The north
ern Indiana contest will be held on
June fst.
The banquet last night was served
by the girls of the senior class. and
was a most enjoyable affair. 1t was
suggested that if the boys would clean
athletic contest platters as well as they
had cleaned their banquet plates that
Hammonds name would stand first in
the county. northern Indiana and state
meets.

President Taft as out of the woods, as
far as a denomination is concerned. the
managers of the Taft candidacy are
planning a whirlwind finish of his cam :
paign. There is seemingly no longer
any doubt whatever among the Prest-
dents friends that he is going to win,
but for the sage of the yigor 1t will
give the part in the post-nomins tlon
contest they want him to win with a
lively finish. Therefore special efforts
are to be made to start the Taft band
wagon and to bring al of the Presi
dents supporters into action for a
grand finale.
Under no possible circumstances can
the Taft people now see anything else
than a big majority at the Chicago con
vention. They base this conclusion not

Unlque Decoration.

w. T. Stead, who went down with
the Titanic, did not disapprove Of the
wearing of decorations, but he con
sidered the insignia now in use
strangely inadequate. He resolved to
create new insignia to replace those
he deemed to be insufficient. He
chose a trousers button. This decora-
ton he conferred on those he deemed
worthy. One day he had with Nicholas
ii. a conversation on peace. The
ideas OF the emperor Of Russia
pleased him greatly and at the close
of the interview Mr.. Stead took one
of his buttons from his pocket and
