he believed that it would bring him
in closer acquaintanceship with the

closer union of the cities mention

was well received. If the Hammond
Country Club is doing nothing else it
is cementing a strong union in the
cities of the Calumet region. 1t is
destined to be a great harmonizer

GETTING HARBOR HELP.

A great many people have had the
notion that Congressman E. D. Crum-
packers inability to get an appropria-
ton for the Improvement of Indiana
Harbor is an evidence of his inca
pacity.
They will probably change their
mind after talking with some of the
delegates who have made the trip TO
Washington and have got something
of an insight into the way things are
done there.
A good many people thought that
the government would give a million
or so for the improvement of this har-
Dor just for the asking But even
with the aid of a favorable recon-
mendation on the part of the United
States army engineers, thing long
waited for, there does not seem to be
much disposition on the part of con-
