CANADIAN Tells HOW
TO RAISE ALFALFA

Under the title of Alfalfa. the
Forage Crop of the Future Prof.
w. II. Fairchild, superintendent OF
the Dominion OF Canada Expert
nent Farm for Southern Alberta
writes an interesting article about
this plant.
The article says In part:
Select land that is well drained,
not necessarily land that is high
and exposed, but it must not be wet
or scggy, and the ground water
should never be closer to the sur
lace than three to five feet at
any time during the year. This Is
quite important as alfalfa is not a
plant that win tolerate wet
feet" 1t prefers a sandy soil
with an open sub soil. though this
is by no means essential to Its
success. River bottom land often
.ffers ideal conditions for its growth

THREATENING FIRE

Thawing Out Frozen Water
Pipe Causes Blaze in
West Hammond.

Thawing a frozen water pipe caused
fire shortly after noon today in
George Graham's residence los West
State street, West Hammond and but
for the timely discovery of the fire by
Ii. Hilger of % Gordon street, West
Hammond. who happened to be passing
by, considerable damage might have
resulted. The damage is thought to
amount to about SIS
Mr.. Higer was on his way to Ham
mond to catch a train, and when he
saw the smoke rising from the roof he
hurried to the West Hammond bank
to put in call for the fire depart
ment. Together with Berman Behreas.
a bartender for Con Moore, they forced
the front door of the building open,
Mrs. Graham, who was indisposed. was
in bed and warned to get out. Water
was found in one of the faucets of the
house, and with this the two men got
the fire under control. The West Ham
mond fire department and department
No. of Hammond arrived on the scene
but found little to do, owing to the
prompt work of Mr.. Hilger and Beh-
rens.

frozen GROUND BAD
FOR WATER USERS
Frozen Water Pipes Com
mon Things in Ham
mond These Days.

Certain portions in Hammond. espe-
cially where the water pipes have not
been laid deep enough. are in danger of
a water famine because of frozen mains
and house connections
Some of the mains that were laid
years ago are less than three feet I'M
foreground. and are surrounded by frost
in the ground. II is said that when the
sun shines on frozen ground that the
frost is driven deeper into the ground,
and If this is true other pipes are likely
to be affected.
Frozen water pipes are common
thing all over the city these days The
greater part OF West Sfbley street was
shut off from water this morning. and
it is feared that the water began to
freeze In the mains.
Former administrations made the
mistake of permitting contractors to
make the house connections with
goose neck" which brings the house
pipe a rule six inches above the
water main. but connections that are
being made now are ordered to be
of on the top.
House builders, ii is said, could save
themselves much future trouble If they
would take the precaution of laying
their house connection pipes in the
street. in tile pipe thus establishing
an air chamber between the frozen
ground and the water pipe. The initial
cost for this is very small and may
save many dollars and worry in severe
winter like this one.

ONE INSTITUTION THAT
IS FADING AWAY
Pension Examining Board
Finds It's Work Grows
Less and Less.

OF late years there has been a notice
able decrease in the number of pension
applicants before the Lake County
penion examining board Years ago
the bi-weekly meetings always found a
goodly number of applicants before this
board. but now even the monthly meet
ings brings about few applicants.
Two or three facts are responsible
for this. One of these is that the num-
Der Of veteran soldiers is thinning
rapidly. The private pension bill, ac-
cording to which veteran can appea al
directly to congress though his con-
gresham for an increase or adjust
ment has diverted many of the appu-
cants fro mthe Hammond office An
other is the automatic increase which
Is fixed by the age of the pensioners
Should any of the dollar a day pen
sion laws now pending before congress
go into effect, the pension board would
of course be abolished entirely. AS far
as the pension board and it's personal
is concerned It has always been most
efficient. and the decrease of applicants
can in no way be construed to be a re
Election on its efficiency.
