STATE LINE PAVING
MAY Be OPPOSED
West Hammond Councilman
Averse Unless Entire
Length Be Improved.

At the regular meeting of the West
Hammond city council this evening, it
is expected that some action will be
taken TO get the State Line street pave
ment Improvement under way as far
as West Hammond is concerned. Ham
mond Is expected to cooperate, but
West Hammond is taking the lead be-
cause its preIiminaries in these mat
tiers are more circuitous than they
would be on the Indiana side. 1t is
understood, however. that SINE objec-
tion will be made by West Hammond
councilmen If they find that the street
is to be paved 70 roniy a short distance
Instead of the entire length
Another matter on which the West
Hammond council is to take action
this evening is the Sibiey street pave
ment. 1t is proposed to make Sibfey
street another popular east and west
thoroughfare by pacing 1t with west
rumite from State Line street to Burn
ham avenue. There apparently is no
opposition to this.

HURT
THE WHEAT

That the snowfall will do some good
to the winter wheat is the opinion Of
that old reliable farmer, John n Beck
man of the Gostlin. Meyn & Co. but not
as much as II it had not been damaged
somewhat by the sleet. ..Sleet" said
Mr.. Beekman, covers the wheat and
makes a crust that heats it and has a
tendensy to ruin the growth. 1t is. of
course, a question just how much dam
ago il did, but the snow viii. help out

Farmer John
That the freezing weather and sleet
of the last two or three days has
caused great damage over the city
and from the surrounding country.
Orchardmen, it is said. are keenlv
feeling the damage that has been done
to fruit trees. The heavy coating
of ice that has attached itself both
to fruit and shade trees has bent large
branches low under it's weight. and nor
few have been ruined when the tons
have broken, splitting the trees to the
ground.
Even in cases where the limbs have
not broken under the excessive weight
the trees, in many instances, will not
strafghten to their former position
While the ice on the trees has given
them1a beautiful appearance. an1 has
made. some ideal winter scenery. the
present beauty exists to the permanent
detriment of the trees. in a large
number of cases over the county it is
feared.
The slippery surface of the ground
everywhere during the last few days
has interfered greatly with travel on
the sidewalks. Vehicles are to be seen
rather rarely. Only an auto now and
then is observed sliding along the
road, and often the chauffeur finds
himself looking the machines in the
face, so slippery are highways.

President A. Murray Turner Of the
Hammond Country Club, though
much in favor Of the most beautiful
eighteen hole golf links in the state
Of Indiana for Hammond has come to
the conclusion that to convert the
present Of hole course into an IS hole
links this year will neither be feasi-
BILE nor in keeping with the clubs
conservative policy.
Consequently the 800 golf en-
thusiasts who are members Of the
Country Club will for another year at
least have to content themselves with
the present course which is however
to be greatly improved next spring
before it is put in shape for 1919

ANNUAL PICNIC AND
 TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

The meeting of the Southern Division of the Nevada County Teachers Association held at Gale, Aug. 23, was attended by 26 teachers and a very large crowd of school patrons,
 The annual Picnic for the be- nefit of the school at that place was given the same day and the neighborhood courteously let our programe take the place of pie nic program.
 All know of the bountiful dim her spread there each year, and every one of our number was glad the meeting was carried to Gale.
 The meeting for Sept. 28 was called for by Sutton, The pro- gram rendered has been publish ed except changes made because some were unable to attend.
 Prof. Vermillion was absent and the welcome address was given by R. o. Westmoreland.
 The secret of Greatness by Joe Meadow, and the Advantage of Education by R. R. Thompkins. Instead of the part assigned Walter Downs he was requested to take The Dawn of Information al Peace, as his subject.
 The Association requested the Force of Habit by Lemma Worth am published.
 Habit has been defined as the power by which it is easier to do a thing the second time than the first, and still easier each subse- quent time, till by and by the thing almost does itself.
 The muscles, nerves, fibers and nerve-cells have a power of ad- justment that enables them to act with greater ease each time in the performance of both phy- sical and mental deeds. This is true of good things and evil things. There are tendencies n human nature that gain Nan i'm pulse to the forming of habits.

vice, not an act of the body, nor of the mind to which we may not be chained down by the des- potic power, habit. It is well that we have power to form good habits also, for they are a pro- tectlon against evil, especially sudden temptation. If one has the habit of deciding in accord ance with the principles of right eousness in cases in which he has time to think. he will make the same sort of decision in cases in which he has not time to think. Habit will do that for him.
 It is in the beginning of life that the system of conducted is adopted which soon assumes the

him day and nightsto keep him from tasting.oplum. He formed many resolutions yet, during the best years of his life, he wasted his substance, his health, neg lected his family, and led an ac- cursed life because he had not will-power to abstain. He would lay plans to cheat the man he paid to watch him and bribe the Jallor to whom he had voluntarily surrendered himself.
 There are many similar cases. The despot may be opium, tobac- co. drink, or even worse, but so completely have control of their victim that it takes all the victims strength and all that can be borrowed to bring about a deliverance.
 One pirate has told how his conscience pricked him after com- mltting his first murder, he then killed another man with less dis comfort, and kept on till he could lie down by the corpse of his vic- tim and sleep soundly, Thus ha- bit explains how sin and vice may become agreeable.
 Pope said: "Vice is a hideous monster of such mein.
 That to be hated needs only to be seen,
 But seen too oft, familiar with her face,
 We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
 So it behooves us to be not slow in breaking a sinful custom for 1t surely fixes habit, and evil habits must be conquered or they Will conquer us and destroy our peace and happiness.
 Cicero said: Vicious habits are so great a stain upon human nature, and so odius in themsel- yes that every person actuated by rlghtre would avoid them though he was sure they wolud always be concealed both from God and man and had no future punishment entailed upon them.
 We may form habits of honesty or dishonesty, of industry orIidle. ness, of kindness or cruelty Tn fact there is not a virture nor 9
The Nevada County picayune., 1913-09-12

and 1t seems to be easier to form the habit of evil things than of good things. But what could we do without the ability of forming habit? Every morning we would have to learn anew the lesson of the previous day. The carpen- ter would have to learn again to use his plane, the bookeeper to use his pen, the memory would have to get fresh facts and the imagination would have to gather material every day for its pictur- es. But once having learned his art, the carpenter, the bookeep- CT and the artist can take up work where 1t was left the day before, because habit has pre- served the effects of learning and discipline.
 One of the saddest facts is, that habits are often acquired in- sensibly, and one finds himself bound almost before he realizes it. Few, however from evil ha- bits deliberately and willfully, they glide into them by degrees, and before they are aware of danger the habits are so confirm ed that they require resolute and persistent e if or to effect a change,
 Take one drink, the next will be easier to take, in a little while the drink habit, which the strong. est men have wrestled with in vain, is fully and fatally formed. Take Gods name in vain a few times, and although it shocks the conscience at first, it soon be- comes an easy habit. Just as the cnllu learns to walk by talk ing one step and then another, so evil habits are formed by com mitting one sin and then another It has been said that habit in a child is, at first, a spiders web, if neglected it becomes a thread of twine next rope, finally a cable-then who can break it?
