THE INDIANA SOCIETY.


If Hammond wants to embrace the
opportunity to entertain the Indiana
Society of Chicago during the even
ing of their coming summer outing it
may do so. This information was
received in Hammond yesterday.
The members of the entertainment
committee heard the Hammond pro-
ject outlined and they like the idea.
The modified plans call for barbe-
|cue at Cedar Lake, an AUTOMOBILE
"trip to Hammond. stopping for but
termilk and mint juleps at Will J.
Davis farm, Venetian night at
Hammond. supper at the country
club and the trip back to Chicago by
IautomobiIe
Hammond would not want to un-
dertake the project unless it could
make the days outing as varied and
wonderful as those which have made
the society famous m the past.
But Hammond certainly can equal
if not surpass the other affairs if 1t
only develops enough enterprise, en-
thusiasm and determination. There
are enough men with ideas and Their.
is enough money to back up these
ideas if the people of this community
will take hold of the project.
| The Indiana Society outings al
ways attract many famous and
wealthy people to the place where
these affairs occur. If favorable i'm.
pressions are created it is the best
possible advertisement for the com
munity which acts as host.
Invitations have been extended tt
the society to go a number of places
Two of them were to members farm.

To promote the good reputation
lof Hammond and raise it in TIL,

Nothing would promote favorabl

We might as well admit that there
are some things about 1.-The iron

Padillo, a bandit chief, calling on
General Huerta, Provisional Presi-
dent of Mexico, proposed for the sum
of 100000 pesos to law down arms,
with his 1900 followers, in Vera
Cruz.
Huerta listened patiently, touched
a button and, having given Padillo
safe conduct to Vera Cruz, is reported
as saying
You will go back to your men.
and you will say to them that un-
less within thirtysix hours every
man has laid down his arms and
submitted to the supreme will of
this government, all thereafter will
be outlwaed and shot down on

shot, but your head will be backed
