CLUBS BOARD HOLDS
INTERESTING NEE TING
Affairs of Hammond Coun-
try Club Shown to Be in
Excellent Condition.

The board of directors of the Ham
mond Country club met last night and
held one of the most interesting ses-
sions of the year. With the approach
of the out of doors season the interest
in the club grows apace.
A financial report was read and the
affairs or the organization were shown
to be in excellent conditions. A proposal
to increase the nonresident mefnbEf-
'rhfp was taI1elf up and discussed. 1t is
expected that this class of member rship
will be greatly increased in the near
future.
An order was given to the manager
of the club to screen in the porches.
This will make them a pleasant place
to spend hot summer evenings.
The members who are delinquent In
their dues are to be posted within a
week If they do not pay up. They will
then be ousted in accordance with the
rules of the club.
The question of entertaining the In
diana Society was discussed informally,
and 1t was decided that while the Ham
mond Country club would offer its
equipment for the entertainment of the
guests of the society that the invita-
ton to come to Hammond ought to
emanate from the membership of the
society residing in Hammond

The passage. Of the cary bill to
create sanitary district In northern
Indiana Is a matter of great import
ance to the Calumet region in Illinois
as we'll as In Indiana.
1t makes but little difference to tho
cities of North township whether Gary
or Hammond fathered the bill. The
point was to get the bill passed so
that Indiana can aid the drainage pro-
ject and do its share to keep the water
of Lake Michigan pure.
The trustees of the Chicago drainage
district are elated to know that they
can now get around the objections of
the war department by having the In
diana drainage district make app1ica-
tion for its quota of six or seven thous-
and gallons of water second.
Gary Howls.
The history of the project is inter-
esting. The Illinois drainage trustees
first put the matter of the organization
of a sanitary district up to the cities
of Hammond. Whiting, East Chicago
and Indiana Harbor. Gary was invit-
ed TO participate In the project.
Gary did not think that any measures
affecting Gary ought to originate any
place but Gary and SO the sanitary
measure was condemned by two OF the
newspapers and Gary citizens gener-
ally.

SOUTH BEND IS
A MONTE CARLO
SO, 900 Changes Hands in a
Poker Game.

1t is said that more than $4,000
changed hands in a poker game plav-
ed in a well known South Bend hotel
last week. 1T is alleged that the game
was in progress for almost three days
and that men from that city, st. Jo
seph and Chicago were interested. Ac-
cording to the report, one local busi-
ness man is now balancing his cash
account just $1,000 less than he did a
week ago. II seems that the Chica go
men carried away most of the spoils
OF battle and that the South Bend
players were the losers. A number of
people witnessed the game from win
dows near the hotel and state that il
was an interesting session. resembling
those of the old days when poker was
the open and customary amusement
1t seems that South Bend has be-
come the Monte Carlo of this section
OF the country, serving as a rendezvous
for the followers of the fickIe goddess
OF chance who cannot play their fav-
orite game in the other cities where
the police and other officials of the
law keep strict surveillance over them.
