Senator Kern

Kern and Governor Marshall presi-
dental booms clashed last night in a
way that drove harmony from the In
diana delegation and threatened Sc
rious split. The possibility that the
names of both Kern and Marshall will
go before the convention today for the
nomination for president makes the
Indiana delegation a storm center of
fierce contention
The Marshall men see that they will
have great difficulty in preventing
part of the Indiana delegation from

night, Marshall being persona non

FARMERS WORRIED
ABOUT THEIR CORN
Cool Nights Are Setback to
Crop; Small Grain and
Hay Do Well.

Lake county farmers are worried
about their crops, particularly the
corn. The cool weather is responsible
and unless there is a decided change
soon. the entire crop will be stunned.
Summer arrived officially on the
twenty first of this month, but with
the exception of a few days. the
weather has been more like what can
be expected in May than in June. In
many places the farmers were late in
getting their corn under ground, owing
to the rains. The days are fairly warm
enough, but the nights are entirely too
cool. and warm nights are very essen
tial to a good corn crop.
On the whole everything in agricul-
tural lines would be very promising
still, If the much needed warmer
weather would set in. Some of the
crops are not so much affected by the
cool weather as others. Small grain
will be ripe long before the first frost
sets in, but an early frost would still
find considerable corn unripe The hay
crop this year Is better than 1t has
been for some years.

Indiana politicians, and especially
candidates on the Indiana state ticket,

There is a clash between Indiana
factions as to the merits of these can

With four bids in hand on which to
figure the cost of the ornamental light

Hammond taxpayers who are called in

but to the taxpayers generally, be-
cause part of the lighting system Is to

The situation as 1t stands at present

the course to be adopted. there being
several mooted questions in the law.

considerable time summarizing the fig

Home Contractors Bid.
1t is estimated that the installa-
tion of Ave cluster ornamental lamp
post will cost in the neighborhood OF
$50, it all depending on what kind of a
pole is chosen and how the conduits
are laid. The maintenance of the post
in the way of light is estimated at
about IA cents an hour per cluster.
Some of the business men have pro-
posed that the poles be installed by
private contract, and that the city
should then maintain them and fur

that this would be out of the ques-
