Many Hammond automobils owners
are conducting parties to the Gary

Considering the close approximity of
Gary to Hammond the attendance from
here is hardly what might be expected.
The statement of merchants and thea
ter managers here that two come from

ing the opposite thing seems well
taken.

Alb Tod avenue, East Chicago, became
involved in alteration with a South
Shore conductor last night which re-
suited in attempt on the part of the

station. Besides being locked up. they
now owe a doctors bin of SIS.

NEED A PURE
FOOD INSPECTOR
Especial to THE TIMEs.l

Crown Point, Ind, July 24-There
are several places in Crown Point at
presnt where pure food inspector
would come in handy. especially in the

fruit dealers of their wares in front
of their business places. Instances are
noted where fruit and vegetables are
left entirely uncovered. and at the
mercy of flies ETC. making the condi-
tion highly unsanitary and breaking
all the rules of pure food regulation
Some instances are also recorded where
fruit has been sold that would not pass
pure food muster.
Specific charges are withheld at this
time in the hopes that the conditions
will be remedied without more
vigorous crusade against the unsanf-
tary and unhealthy conditions Get

Company disposed Of another block OF lis

The issue In question is part Of the 80

impression prevails that the Union Pacihc
agreed TO take $15.OOOOCO Of this issue, and
TO date has acquired t12.5000o.

heavily for improvements. II is said that
the roads financial hackers believe That
the outlay has been sufficient for the
present, and for a while, at least. Will not
undertake the purchase Of any more OF

that in the event of a favorable market
such an offering would take place.

a loss OF 3.3 per cent and is due mainly
10 the decreases reported by a number
