Brings Misery to Water
Clerks.

Henry Haage and John Zitz. water
clerks in the city hall. got surfeit of
water last night. They went after
ducks and got ducking. Their boat
shipped water and for an hour and a
half the two floundered waist deep in
the water and muck of Lake George
Darkness added to their discontinue
and to add to their bad luck Haage
lost s65 automatic gun and zitz a.
fowling piece for which he had paid
$35. Haage In addition to looking for
his gun today with his companion n ms
fortune had to round up about three
dozen of artificial decoy ducks
Haage and Zitz spent practically all
their spare time on Lake George dur
ing the hunting season. Haage more so
than Zitz They brave all kinds of
weather. and the high wind and cold
wave coming up last night had no ter
ror for them. The boat in which they
sat. will hardly carry two and when
the waves started to lap over the sides
of the craft they found themselves "up
against it." Pretty soon they found
their boat at the bottom of the lake
upside down. Their guns were buried
in the muck and after righting their
boat they started for shore In the
darkness they. were more than an hour
getting there They were nearly ex-
hausted by their strenuous efforts in
the cold water and We're glad to find
shelter in Haehnels place. Today they
started out TO look for their guns

NEW JOB
FOR SOME
PERSON

Another plum which may soon be
shaken from the tree by the Lake
County republicans is the position of
public road inspector for the county.
Under the statute passed by the last
general assent bly,. 1t Is the duty Of
the county commissioners and the
Judge of the Lake circuit court to ap-
point a road pervisor who shall have
absolute supervision over all public
highways In process of construction.
The salary fixed by law is IS per
day
It is said there is no provision for
deputy hire or expenses and as il will
be pretty big order for one man to
supervise the construction of hundreds
of miles of roadway, ii maybe neces-
sary for the official TO expend a por-
tion of his salary for the services OF
a competent man to assist him.
The appointment will be made by tho
county commissioners. some time with
IN the next few mont hs, The commits
Isfoners reeommend the applicant and
IL remains for Judge Manhattan TO make
the appointment. 1t is possible the
new law may become effective after
May 1, and in that event. the entire
situation will be changed.

IS SUBURB
GETTING A
RAW DEAL?
Alderman III. F. Eggers of
Robertsdale Says 1t Is,
and Shows Why County
Is Neglecting Her in the
Matter of improvements.
(Special to THE T1MEsl

Robertsdale. Ind. March 15.-Henry
r. Eggers. the councilman from the
fourth ward. thinks that Robertsdale
is getting the worst of IL from the
county in the way of improvements
There are two things that we need
right away and need bad before Rob-
ertsdale. and in fact the entire north
western part of the township, can hope
to experience the development that It
deserves" said Eggers in an interview
with THE TINES
Take the matter of thoroughfares"
he continued. We have Indiana bouie-
ward and Sheffield avenue and those
are the only ways we have 10 come and
go at the present time. OF course the
extension of Calumet avenue through
to Sheffield avenue will be "a distinct
benefit to us.
But we need a new bridge over
Wolf river on Indiana boulevard. We
would like to have the abutments OF
this bridge so constructed that 1t could
be converted from a stationary into

give parents and children new pride
in their home, but beautified yard
will materially enhance the value of
property. If only three or four families
In one block can be induced to have
flower harden the others then prompted
by the example will follow suit. In
some parts of the city flower beds are
common sight while other sections
lack these beautiful ornamentations.
Mr.. Belman's insistence on inducing
the Hammond children to raise only
the choicest flowers of the kind they
prefer will do more to make success
of Hammond as a flower city than any
thing else

JARNECKE
WILL PUT UP
BUILDING

Having been persuaded by his son
of the advisability of constructing a
building on his property on South Hoh-
man street, John j. Jarnecke has in
structed Architect A. c. Berry to make
the plans for a store building to cover
the 100 or more feet of frontage on
Holman street on the east side OF the
Broken Corner, next to the sEder build
ing.
The fact that the taxes and carry
ing charge on the lot are now greater
than the income from the shacks which
now cover a part of 1t, is said to have
been the deciding argument in favor OF
the Improvement
So many announcements have been
made of Jarnecke's intention to build
that this one will be received with In
credulity until the building is actually
under construction.
However. it Is understood that the
cement blocks for the construction of a
cement block blacksmith shop on the
rear end of the property for the use
of the present tenant in the old wooden
shop, have been purchased and that
both the blacksmith and the cobbier
have been ordered to move preparatory
to the making of the excavations.
1t is said that the new business
block will cost In the neighborhood OF
$50. 900 and will be a two-story AFFAIR
The total investment will be close 10
$4,000. including the estimated value
of the land.
This will be the first su bstantial Inn
provement that has ever been made In
Hammond by Mr.. Jarnecke, although
he has accumulated fortune esti-
mated to be 100000
His children are more progressive
however. and 1t is they who are now
responsible for the proposed improve
ment which will eliminate one of the
eye sores of the street With Otto
Knoerzer building across the stree,
the appearance Of the broken corner
Will be greatly changed.

MAY LIFT THE
QUARANTINE

Crown Point. Ind. March 15.-Al
though no official report has been
made. it is expected that the quaran-
tine will be lifted in Crown Point this
evening. no new cases of scarlet fever
being reported to the health authori-
ties. The cases now under quarantine,
about six in number. are all GONZALES
cent. the disease being of a mild type.
Under these circumstances and con-
ditions it would be folly to continue
the quarantine, which at it's best is
matetr of great Inconvenience to
many. and it is more than probable
that the council will declare the same
raised this evening in order that the
customary services may be held to-
morrow at the various churches.

FLOWER GARDENS TO
TRANSFORM THE CITY
Bank Wants Hammond to
Hand Itself an Annual
Bouquet.

To make Hammond the flower city
of Indiana transform its bleak un-
slightly sand plots into lovely garden
spots to stimulate a love of the beau
tiful in the children, and once year
have the city hand itself grand
municipal bouquet. is idea which
the First National bank intends to
work out this year at the expense
of several hundred dollars. Out of this
idea will grow an annual floral day. on
which there will be a public exhibition
of the choicest flowers grown on Ham
mond soil and for which prize awards
will be made.
That the plan of the First National
bank will be a success was already
demonstrated, when a score of school
children called at the bank this morn
ing after having read a little prelimin-
airy announcement I'm THE TIMES last
night to the effect that the bank will
give away free seeds.
Children to Choose.
The distribution will not begin until
the latter part of this week. and appli-
cants will be asked to select either
astor. or pansy seeds, Only seeds
guaranteed to produce the choicest
flowers. seeds costing from $40 to s14
an ounce will be distributed. w. c. Bel
man.. cashier of the bank who is en-
gineering the whole thing, taking the
position that in the long run it is
cheaper to raise choice flowers than
scrubs The children will be expected
to procure other flower seeds from
other sources. and next September a
day will be set aside on which the
flowers entered for the prize contest
will be judged. All the school children
in both the public and parochial schools
may enter the contest.
w c. Belman. whose flower garden
at Glendale is conceded to be unexceil-
ed for beauty and who is himself a
great lover of flowers, Will visit each
school to give the pupils an hours in
struction how, when and where to
plant their seeds
Mr. Belman first conceived the idea
of making flower growing city wide
movement when he saw what results
were attained in the irving school last
year under the direction of Miss Ad-
kins The Mothers club co-operated
and as a result some of the north side
back yards showed some wonderful
changes.
