Want Wisconsin Apples

When the international dairy show
in Milwaukee closed the Wisconsin
Advancement association had On its
hands a number of bushels of apples
that had been Oh exhibit at various
places and were not considered fit
for sale. &c. with proper explanation
for their condition, they were dis.
tributed among some people who had
rendered favors in connection with
the exhibits. The result was that
these apples were SO satisfactory that
the recipients wanted to know where
they could buy such apples
When apples that had received
such a test appeal to the appetites
and the discriminating judgment of
the housekeepers, it Is not surprising
that Edinburg, Scotland, writes for
Wisconsin apples.
Wisconsin people will sooner or la
ter learn that they now live in the
state in which to grow apples.

An Experiment in Continuous Ses-

Two elementary schools in Newark,
N j., We're kept open during the
past summer to test the ACCESSIBILITY
of school the year around. The av-
orage attendance was SO per cent
of the enrolment The health of the
children was good owing largely to
the fact that windows were kept
open all the time. The large variety
and opportunity Of outdoor play out
Of school hours which summer at
fords no doubt also contributed to
this result That the work was sat
isfactory appears from the fact that
q larger percentage of children were
promoted than in the regular clas-
ses during the usual school year.

SOUTH CHICAGO WINS
FIGHT AGAINST HARbOR
Land Grants Cause Council
Body to Cease Steps for
District No. 5.

South Chicago and it's big corpora
lions won yesterday in what residents
of the district contended was a fight
for existence against the proposed en-
croachments of Chicago's harbor
plans. Their victory was achieved
when the City Council Committee on
Harbors wharves and Bridges decid-
ed that harbor district No. would not
be created at present.
The action followed protest from a
delegation of South Chicago business
men that was the climax of three
weeks fight in which the opposition
argued that for the city to ignore in
establishing harbor district No. the
state grants of land to the corpora
tions involved would mean probably
their removal from South Chicago and
the practical wiping out OF that bust

WORTHY
COUPLE
CELEBRATE

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph l.. Johnston of
500 Drummond street, Indiana Har-
Dor, knew it was their twentieth we'd
ding anniversary, couple of nights
ago, but they failed to take account of
the fact that seventy-eight OF their
friends were similarly informed. They
were celebrating the OCCASION very
quietly and modestly at home when
William Dobbie their good friend from
Grapevine street insinuated himself
into the house and struck up the rich
chords of Mendelssohn's wedding
march.
This was the signal for a procession
which had been waiting without. to
mount the steps and march inside.
The procession consisted seventy
eighteach of whom carried something
in the way of a gift.
John Thelmie chairman of the dele
cation, headed the procession with a
stack of dinner plates. other plates
of various sizes followed, as did also
platters. vegetable dishes. gravy boats,
cups and saucers and the like, until
there was little room left for anything
else to be deposited unless upon the
floor, and even this was pretty fully
occupied by the swarm of guests.
When the smoke had cleared away
1T was found that the Johnstones were
the possessors of a complete new din
ner set consisting of 100 pieces. and a
handsome painted china tea set
There also were refreshments enough
to appease the appetites of the seven
ty- eight and their host and hostess
when the hour arrived for serving tn.
same.
William Collins made the presenta.
ton and although Mr.. tombstone re
sponded, his response was somewhat
broken by emotion.
The guests included many ole
friends from Scotland when Mr. and
Mrs. tombstone had known before
coming to this country, together with
many other friends acquired sine,
they settled in indiana Harbor.
The evening was passed most pleas
antly, games and music being the dj
versions.

TO INSPECT
THE LINE

1t is probable that the first interur-
ban flyer on the new air line will
make the first trip from Gary to La
Porte some time today. The trip will
be test run of the new trolley route
which will open up a new traction sys-
tenn between Hammond and South
Bend via Gary and LaPorte on August
l.
With the expectation. that the first
car would be today several Off
Gals of the Gary and Interurban, the
Gary Connecting railway. the yalpa-
raiso and Northern, and the Chicago,
Goshen and South Bend railways. all
air line subsidiaries, gathered in Gary
today.
The run which it is expected will be
made today is official inspection
tour for the purpose of examining the
road bed, bridges grades. and repre-
sentatives of the state railroad COM
mission will probably be present.

CARPENTERS UNION
OF CARY PROSPEROUS

With more than $4,000 in it's treas
ury, SO it is said, Gary local No. 935
of the carpenters union, plan to in
vest money in real estate by erecting
a three-story building and hall which
will cost $4,000.
Plans for the structure have been
drawn and assurances that If II is
built that the first floor will be leased
by a Gary bank, have been made. The
second floor. it is proposed. will be
devoted to offices, while the third
floor will be sort of trades and la
Dor assembly auditorium for the va
rious unions of the city. Club rooms
would also be located on the floor. AS
to the location of the struction, this
has not been decided.
There is some opposition offered by
many of the members to the building
plan. At the present time the funds
are the property of the local, whereas
if $4,000 building were erected II
would be the property of the general
brotherhood and If Gary local ever
withdrew from the parent body the
local would lose it's investment.

FILMS TELL TALE
OF ROUGH FIGHT

Good pictures of poor fight. This
was the general opinion of those who
yesterday saw the private exhibition
of the moving pictures of the heavy
weight championship battle between
Jack Johnson and Jim Flynn which
terminated in the ninth round at Las
Vegas. A special permit was granted
by the mayor for the exhibition.
which was given in Chicago theater.
A large number of local fight fans and
critics saw the films.
That Flynn should have been dis
qualified for his butting tactics was
agreed. In the ninth round. when the
fight was stopped by the chief of po-
lice. Flynn held on to Johnson, left his
feet and butted the champion several
times. Once the referee stopped the
mill and warned Flynn, but the Pueblo
boxer paid no attention. When the
principals resumed hostilities Flynn
renewed the tactics which caused the
fight to be stopped.
At no stage of the fight did john
son appear to extend himself. He did
not land a solid punch in the entire
conflict and 1t looked as If he were
under pull" He used his left hand
in a tantalizing manner, and on only
three occasions did he attempt to
use the weapon for an uppercut.

through arrangements over any line
which is owned, controlled or operat-
ed by the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie.
Now that the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie
has a through lire from Pittsburgh to
Baltimore by way of the Western
Maryland, the Erie automatically se-
cures the right of through traffic I'M
der the general agreement. This
places the Erie in the strongest posi-
tion of any line between Chicago and
Baltimore, inasmuch as 1t has two of
the strongest connections in the field
east of Youngstown and opens up to
the Erie all of the Baltimore Ohio
Maryland territory. including Wash
ington, Cumberland. Hagerstown and
differential connections of the mer-
chants and miners through Baltimore
to New England points. and also the
support of all the transatlantic
steamship lines working through the
port of Baltimore.
These new traffic alliances are con-
sidered of such great Importance that
the Erie has established in Baltimore
a very strong freight agency and is
anxious to complete tn work of double
tracking in order to take care of the
additional business. Within the last
few days the Erie has ordered fifty
new locomotives and 1000 new cars to
supplement the order of last spring
which was then considered to be OF
extraordinary size.
