WHAT TIMES
ADVERTISING DOES

A. j. Campbell. OF the Campbell
Realty company of West Ham
mond, tells of the marvellous re-
suits of want adj in THE
TIMES. He had house in West
Hammond that he wanted to rent.
He put an ad in THE TIMES
and that same evening within an
hour after the paper had been de-
livered he had a dozen chances to
rent the place and before supper
time had accepted deposit on it
to bind the lease.
The next morning he was APP
preached by a man who had seen
the for rent ad and who wanted to
buy the house. Campbell told him
that the house would cost him
$2,70o.
In ten minutes the deal had
been made and the house was sold.
Campbell then hunted up the man
| who had rented the house and got
him to release him. Campbell
says he never saw such results
from advertising.

AUTO ENGINE
HAS TRY OUT

East Chicago's new auto fire engine
had a tryout last night which demon
strated its efficiency in handling a
threatening blaze. At the fire in ques-
ton one man was injured, both his feet
being badly burned. The damage to
property was $500.
The call came into the East Chicago
station at 1926 o'clock, from 1923 Alex
ander avenue. where a fire had been
started in a barn Dan Varady sent in
the alarm and he declared 1t was TWEEN
ed to get the station before he was able
to connect up with central. When he
did get the station the fire had gained
such Roadway that 1t seemed necessary
to call station No. at Indiana Har-
Dor. for help, but by the time the en-
CINE from this station arrived the East
Chicago company had the flames under
control
The property on which the barn
stands is owned by Rock Dcik, who
lives in the house on the front of the
lot Jacob Kobish had a bed in the
barn and was asleep in this when the
flames made themselves manifest. Their
origin is unknown, but it is believed
that the man had been smoking and
that spark from his pipe smou1dered
in the hay until after he was asleep
When he awoke the entires interior oil
the barn was in flames and he was
forced to run barefooted and with a
blanket thrown about him. through the

DIRECT ROAD BETWEEN
GARY AND CHICAGO WANTED

There was a small number present at
the meeting of the Commercial club of
Indiana Harbor and East Chicago last
night, but there was q quorum and
business was transacted
The most important matter brought
to the attention of the club was intro
duced by President Riley who arVyounc-
ed that the county commi ssioners had
promised to make a requisition on the
county council for bridge across the
canal at Dickey place. He suggested
that il might be a good idea for the
club to appoint committee to use
their influence with the members of the
county council to call a special meeting
to act on the bridge matter. 1t is ex-
pected that like committee will be
appointed from the Commercial club of
Whiting and also from Gary. The
presidents suggestion was concurred on
land the committee duly appointed.
The three towns named are the most
vitality interested in the bridge which
will complete direct road and street
car communication between Gary and
Chicago. via Indiana Harbor and Whit
ing. Franchises have already been
granted for street car lines. which
however cannot be built until the
bridge is constructed across the canal.
The question of turning on the water
| in the Hembroff memorial fountain was
brought up by Mr.. William F.. Jewell.
1t, was pointed out that the erection of
| the fountain was dragged out indefi-
niteIy, and that now the fact that the
water had not been turned on in 1t for
| a year after it's completion. was a
| black eye to the club which had pro-

Question came thick and fast and
city engineer Pete Lyons took occasion
to deny the following misstatements:
That the assessments will be 5000 for

That the East Chicago Land company

| be taxed as heavy as the small proper
Ity owner
! That the deep sewer system will not
work in with the plans of a sanitary
district.
| The fallacy of such arguments were
shown by Mr.. Lyons who read the plan
submitted sometime ago by w. s.
Shields who was present himself. He
spoke briefly showing that Hammond
had arrived at a period in it's develop
