HOLD YOUR CORN.

The Herald has no thought of rejoicing
over the misfortune of others. Vet it
may with perfect propriety remind the
farmers Of the valley that the corn crop
of the corn producing states is 4 failure
literally burned un by drought. On The
other hand. the valley has produced the
best corn crop in lis history. With these
facts well borne i'm mind ii seems Utmost
useless to suggct that the farmers of this
community should be in q hurry to rush
their crop TO market. Nevertheless We
make the suggestion. The full extent of
failure in the north is not known. Of
course. 1t NAV De greater OF il may b.
less than reported. Enough is known how
ever to justify the statement that val
ley farmers are sure of a big price for
their corn. Safe therefore TO hold If for
a big price.

NEW EXPRESS co.
NOW IN HAMMOND

Today a new express company COM
menced operations in Hammond the
firm being known as the v. w. Parker
company, having Offices and warehouse
at 1s4 Truman avenue. As the new
concern is to be operated on a differ
ent principle than that of any of the
other express companies, W. j. Moo
nan. who is associated with Mr. Park
er, is expecting a volume of freight
and express business.
Instead of the merchants having to
pay extra railroad freight charges and
drayage all goods shipped from Chi
cago to- Hammond merchants will be
handled in special cars over the G.. I.
& S. Arrangements have been made
to have a special car leaving Chicago
daily over the c., /. & S. and arriving
in Hammond on the meat run at a.
M, making 1t possible for the firm TO
guarantee early morning delivery. AS
the volume of freight increases extra
cars will be sent out to Hammond
daily.
The new firm has been working on
this new system for nearly a month
and when the first deliveries are made
everything will be in working order.
A great many business houses in Ham,
mond have sanctioned the new ex-
press system and as special rates have
been given it is evident that compe-
tition will have to figure close to equal
what the Parker company offers.
