RECEIPTS
FALL OFF

Receipts in the Hammond postoffice
for the month of November, show that
month to have been the lowest for busi-
ness in the last two years. The large
number of catalogues sent out quite
regularly from Hammond houses which
keep the average pretty high was lack
ing last month, but December is ex-
pected to make UP for this.
The amount of business for Novem-
ber was s1o,29o; for October. s1s,62S.
and for November of last year, s15.52s
The approaching holiday season has
not yet developed material increase
in the number of pieces of mail to be
handled by the postoffice.
The foreign money order department
however, shows new life. Foreigners
present themselves by the score each
evening and ask for money orders by
means of which they forward money to
relatives in the old country. The
amounts they send across range all the
way from $40 to $500.

'sI KISSED HER." ADM rs PREACHER
SUED FOR $4,000 DAMAGES BY GIRL

Brookfield. Mo. Dec. Rev. w. c.
Atwood, pastor of the First Presby-
terian church of Brookfeld, has replied
from his pulpit to charges contained
in a suit for $4,000 damages filed
against him by Miss Harriet l. Myers,
the daughter of a Brookfield editor. in
which the plaintiff alleged that he had
hugged and kissed her. Rev. Atwood
did not deny the charges, and he fully
exonerated the young woman. His on
" defense was that he had not meant
his words or actions seriously. He
admitted frankly that his action had
been unwarranted and most foolish. =.
The case will come to trial at the
February term of court. Meanwhile,
the nling of the suit has caused a
sensation in this community. Nothing
that has happened here in years has so
stirred the interest of the peopFS of
Brookfield. Members of the congrega-
ton. well as persons outside the
church, are divided in sentiment on the
subject. which is the chief topic of con-
,'ersation on the streets, in social cir
cIes. in the home. virtually everywhere
According to Miss Myers story she
was in her fathers office alone one
day in April of last year when Rev
Atwood called to leave a church notice
After several casual remarks he is al
legged to have asked her:
Don't you ever get tired OF this
vork?"
"Oh. yes." she is said to have re-
piled. sometimes"
Then he is said to have asked :

WOMEN TO ATTEND
COUNCIL NEE TING
For First Time in City's
History Women Will
Visit City Fathers.

Satin satire prevails the typewriter
report of what the civic department.
of the Hammond Woman's club found
to be the matter IN the af1eys OF the
city and the restaurants, dairies and
stables that border these drive-ways.
Thackery who riddled the suspected
quacks of old England, couldn't have
done better. He told the truth and so
have the women--the truth AS they saw
it, There may be reasons why they are
wrong and if so the. city council this
evening will have an opportunity of ex-
planning.
Mrs. Carrie Herndon, chairman of the
civic committee, Miss Thayer of the
Settlement House, and DR.. Mary E..
Jackson will head the delegation that
is to wait the pleasure of the mayor
and council. Mayor Smalley having
expressed himself favorably the women
expect a fair hearing. There will be
no caustic charges made but the re-
port will tell of the insanitary condi-
tfons existing in Hammond which the
city is trying to cope with in an unsat-
isfactory manner.
For street and alley cleaning the
city expended s13,4a7.93 last year. The
civic department states that there only
seven dump carts owned by the city
and that each covers such vast ter
rieary as to make impossible good
work. One old man starts at Williams
street and goes to Glendale Park, all
the way between the Erie tracks and
the state line. He gets around some
times once a week and doesn't do
thorough work He can't. Several go
to Gibson.

WHO FOUND
THIS MONEY?

Someone found black leather bill
book with four $40 bills and a $50. laid
carefully on top of a number of lodge
receipts and other script.
1t is up to that someone" to return
it to J. C. BrineY mail carrier, so
that the little Brineys can have the
Christmas planned for them. The s42
constituted a part of Briney's pay and
anyone who has worked for the gov.
ernment knows that it wasn't very
much less than half. Now whether you
work for the government or not you
know how hard it is to stretch even the
most elastic salary over the high cost
of living.
Briney will reward anyone literally
for returning his Christmas money. He
needs it.
1t was lost between the postoffice
and East Hammond late yesterday.
