LITTLE mot"
MAKES TROUBLE

Fearing that the omission of the lit
tie but nevertheless important word
mot" gave rise to a wrong impression
in THE TIMES story yesterday on the
Saxony farmers meeting with reference
to Hammond's municipal market, Mar
ket Master Frank O'Rourke today
made an explanation which puts the
matter of prices in different light
Inadvertently the article stated that
the city would attempt to regulate the
prices but that 1t would not olerate a
combination among the farmers to
maintain artificial prices. What Mr..
ORourke did say was that the city
would NOT attempt to fix prices, but
that 1t would not tolerate combina-
tions. From the producer and the con-
sumers side this is vital point
which Mr. O'Rourke emphasized very
strongly at the meeting.

Want ROAD
To CHANGE
ITS COURSE

There is an earnest movement on
foot to get the Hammond Whiting &
East Chicago Railway Co. to run its
line down One Hundred and Forty
eighth street or Hoffman street from
Hammond to East Chicago instead> of
One Hundred and Fiftieth street.
The people of the north side who are
interested in seeing the change made
are urging that the step be taken now
before the work of double tracking
the Hammond-East Chicago branch
takes place.
The reasons for making the change
to either of these two streets are sane
and logical and have been pointed out
by a number of Interested north side
property owners.
They say the location of the street
railway will in a measure determine
the great east and west business street

MANY ARE
AFFECTED BY
NEW LAW

Hundreds of boys and girls in the
cities OF Hammond. Gary and East Chi
cago and Whiting will be affected by
the new age certificate law and the
-saheazsasthortffesss ssvfz1r have to psun to
Comply with tho law.
Important features of the new law
are the provisions that compel child
TO have passed the fifth grade and to
have employment before he can leave
school before he is 16 years old. This
takes the place of the old straight Ia
year-old law.
Another Important feature Is that
the new law lakes thu right of issuing
age certificates out of the hands of par
ents and gives 1t to the school authori-
ties. Employers not only must not en-
ploy persons under the age limit with
out certificate. but must give notice
to the school authorities ssoon as the
employment of the child ceases Par

Story Is Denied.

Although 1t was announced in local
paper last night that Jimmy Clabby
and Eddie McGoorty, claimants of the
er in a ten-round tilt at Kenosha next
month"; the story was denied this morn
ing by Matchmaker Frank Campbell,
who for the past month has been trying
to bring the two rivals together at
Hammond.
According to Matchmaker Campbell
every effort that has been made to
siga up the two middleweights has
proven futile. Clabby is perfectly will
ing to face the Oshkosh demon on
agreeable terms. but McGoorty is ask
ing an enormous sum for his end of the
fight that it appears that he is again
trying TO weggle out of that proposed
match
If the battle is staged in Ham
mond il is evident that the house will
be packed to its capacity Local fans
cannot understand why McGoorty is
asking such a large sum, as he has
been fighting in the east for a purse
that would not come near the re-
mond. In suming up facts it looks like
McGoorty is afraid of Clabby, and as
soon as a match is talked of he will
again hit for the tall timbers. Fans
are eager to see the two title claim
ants in action at Hammond.

There will be no switchmen's

The threatened walkout Of nearly
5000 men employed on nineteen
railroads entering Chicago was

men, comforting with the railroad
officials. agreed to accept the offer
of arbitration under the Erdman

The railroad officials made the Of

Fine Crop Prospects

Never DO we remember of the
fertil soils of this part of the
State being more thoroughly sat-
urated with moisture at this
season of the year than at the
present time. The precipitation
since Friday evening has averag-
ed about four inches; and, to
make a good thing still better,
it remained cloudy for five days
and nights. giving the water an
opportunity to all soak into the
ground of we'll cultivated fields.
as well as to prevent rust of
wheat and oats.
Although we had nearly three
weeks of very dry atmosphere,
hard winds and scorching sun
shine to pump vast quantities of
the water out of the ground,
especially where not kept clean
Of weeds and sufficiently stirred
to keep a soil-mulch of some
three inches on the surface, the
season so far has been almost an
ideal one-inasmuch as it has
given the Industrious farmers an
opportunity to prepare good
seed-bed. get the seed in the
ground and keep it thoroughly
cultivated and clean. Therefore,
with the exception of the wheat
and oats harvest, the late rains
found crops generally in fine
condition for it, and the great
benefit largely exceeds what lit
tie damage may have been done
to the small grain.
Now, as an expert in these
matters, having delved deep
into their fundamentals and de-
tails, we desire to offer a few
suggestions to the farmers gen.
orally, viz:
Do everything in your power
to save this moisture you will
need it before the season is over.
Start your cultivators just as
soon as the surface of the ground
is dry enough to pulverize nicely.
Get over it as soon as you can,
without injury to yourselves and
teams, and then do your resting
afterwards if possible.
II rain does not come again
within ten days. 60 over it again
Immediately.
II rain does come. repeat the
operation and as often as it
comes.
Keep up this method OF culti-
nakior, mill ..-.... $4,000. - -

tured or have passed the danger
period.
We advise those who have
small grain to put their disc
harrows to work just as soon as
the crop is harvested and thus
save the moisture. Where you
can, follow the disc with a
common harrow. Then plant it
to kafir. milo, sorghum, COW peas
and Spanish peanuts. Treat all
unoccupied ground the same way.
We fully realize that all farm
ers have not the force to carry
out all of these suggestions; but
they should come as near doing
it as possible. Those who do
will be the gamers in proportion
to their ability TO meet these
requirements.
