formerly superintendent of the aim

the Hammond board of public works,

family for an indefinite stay, II certain

ering him as the best man to send to
Europe to superintend the erection
and operation of it's proposedplant In
italy, and has offered him $500 per
month salary. He has decided to ac-
cept.
Mr.. Swanton was unprepared to say
anything for publication when inter-
viewed by THE TINES and seemed rath-
er surprised that the news had already
gained currency. He declined TO dis
cuss any phase of the report, an at
titude which appears quite natural.
when 1t is remembered that any an
nouncement coming from him will
start the wire pullers for his political
job on the board and possibly neces-
state an explanation from him to his
superiors for premature statement,

to know, say that Mr.. Swantou's as

expected that Mrs. Swanton and the

HAMMOND NEEDS THESE
IMPROVEMENTS BADLY

Bearing the authority of the Ham
mond board of public works a COM
munication will be sent to the Lake
county board of commissioners this
week calling for three much-needed
and longwaited public improvements
that cannot be further delayed with
out endangering life, restricting traf-
fic and causing damage. These inn
provements are
1. The building of a bride over the
Grand Calumet at the avenue of that
name, to cost estimately $4,000. (Ad-
vocated by THE TIMES for years.)
2. The protecting of Calumet ave-
nue. across Lake George with rin- raft,
a $4,000 job. (First suggested by
THE TIMES on September 25, 1879
8. The paving of Summer street for
three and a half miles east from Co.
lumbia avenue. to cost 100000. (In-
dorsed first by THE TIMES November

Keen perception is shown by the

thoroughfares are to bind the cities

action of the board is ovation to
each of the towns to Join in prepar-
ing for aralgamation.
Messrs. Schroeder and Rohde may
not have thought of that phase of the

HAMMOND HUNTERS HAVE
GREAT SPORT THESE DAYS

All confirmed hunters spent Thanks
giving In marsh and dell with dog and
gun. Birds are rarer this season,
however, and the shooting yesterday
was not phenomenal, only ordinary.
During the week many events have
transpired in the fraternities of gun
men. The Hammond Gun club ban
quet at Sharpshooters' park Tuesday
evening was stellar social event at
which forty members and their wives
attended. The feast was extraordi-
nary, consisting OF venison steak and
roast turkey.
Lost In the Marsh.
While hunting ducks with Joe VIII
cockson. the piano merchant, Martin
Scheer became lost in the Kankakee
marsh. He spent the time till mid
night In knee deep icy waters. With
every other step he fell sprawling.
Martin has the advantage of being
able to cuss IN French, German and
English. But with all that at his
command he says that he was unable
to do justice to the occasion.
The Lake County times., 1913-11-29

Meanwhile Wilcockson was exposing
himself to the elements in attempting
to locate Scheer. He called and whist
led and danced. He built fires and it
was one of these that acted as guild
ing star to Martin. Half the night
was gone when Scheer got out of the
swamp. He said that at one time he
made his bed on a muskrat house, but
that the "durned' thing caved in.

THE WAR WITH INSECTS.
Biggest Battles of Today Are Not
With Rifles or Cannons.

The greatest war that is going on
at the present time is not war in
which both sides are men. 1t is not
a war in which rifles or cannon play
a part. The biggest battles of today
are with a much smaller foe than
man. They are battles with insects.
Although unknown to many people,
these battles in which men and in
sects are the combatants are adding
new chapter to the history of the
world. South Africa is one of the
greatest of these battle grounds.
There, hostilities are being carried
on relentlessly. Locusts are one of
the enemies in South Africa. AS soon
as there is a swarm of locusts, news
is flashed to the department of agri-
culture at Pretoria. AS a result, a
battle ensues with sprays of arsenic
instead of rifles. The locusts, due to
these battles, are being rapidly ex-
terminated.
On the west coast of Africa great
campaign is taking place against a
close relative of one of our own foes,
the mosquito. In Africa it has been
definitely established that the mos
quito is the transmitter of three
most terrible diseases-malaria ele-
In oCiC
man is bitten only once by mosqui-
to there may develop any one of
these horrible diseases. The same
methods are being used against the
African mosquito as we are using
here in the United States in a civil
war against the mosquito. Hundreds
of ponds are being drained and 9TH
er bodies of water are being covered
by thick oil. A little fish known
as the million" is the weapon used
in the great battle against the mos
quito in West India and the Hawai-
ian islands. This little fish is a ma
tural enemy of the mosquito. The
beneficial work of the million" was
first noticed at Barbados, whose lakes
and streams were full of this small
fish. Barbados did not suffer from
the scourges brought by mosquitoes,
but the adjacent islands, where the
million" did not live, suffered
greatly. The suffering is diminish
ing since the introduction of the
million" into all ponds and streams
that cannot be drained or covered
with oil. In the Panama canal zone
the conflict between man and insects
has been remarkable. Man has won
all of the battles. Yellow fever in

germs carried by the mosquito, has

Sort of a Relation.

Then he rallied visibly.

brothers named Brown, and they
were cousins to my mothers aunt.

been driven away from Panama by
a successful war on the pest.
Another pest on which a great OBJ
sIaught is being made is the tsetse
fly. The record of this insect is but
little less terrible than that of the
mosquito, for among the diseases it
carries is the sleeping sickness, for
which there is no cure and wEich has
swept away whole communities. The
t ese fly has killed more than 200,
900 in the Uganda Protectorate
alone.
The tsetse lily is being fought by
burning bushes around the margins
of rivers and ponds and around cit
les and encampments. The men of
Africa are wearing a sort of sticky
fypaper on their back in the lands
where the tsetse fly swarms, and
millions are being attracted and kill
ed by this method. Here in the
United States we have already made
great progress against the fly and the
mosquito, whose dangers have just
been recently realized. The war
against these tiny foes will not on
ly make civilized countries more
healthful but will improve life and
conditions and open up to civiliza-
ton part of the tropical and semi
tropical countries. -Everybody'

What the Panama Work Means.

The Egyptian Pyramids have
commonly been called the greatest
marvel of human construction. Yet
when the Gamboa dixie was blown
up, practically completing the Pana-
ma Canal, earth had been removed
that would make So pyramids.
Some people call the Chinese
wall the greatest human marvel.
1t is 1900 miles long. The mater
ial taken out of Panama would
make a similar wall $500 miles
long.
The Americans have won where
the very scientific French people
failed. The capacity of the French
for technical achievement is shown
by the foremost place they have
taken in developing air fight. They
went down to Panama and built Il
miles Of canal, we'll designed and
we'll constructed Their machinery
was so good that most of it, after
the rust was secured off, was per-
fectly fit to use after the lapse OF
years. Yet they slipped up some
where on the human side. They
left the job a monument of graft.
The Americans turned a swamp
into a health resort. The spirit or
the thing was expressed by Richard
Harding Davis. He said that when
he ran across a single man or little
group OF men somewhere out or
sight, unmatched and Embossed,
one would naturally expect, consi-
dering common human habits, that
some OF them would be soldier
ing" Instead of that, all seemed
to be digging for all they were
worth.
The graft so common in munich
pal work, the inefficient red tape or
government departments, has al
ways made the American people
heart sick. Panama has shown that
it is a possible thing to organize
government enterprises efficiently
Great power was given to one man,
and he was held responsible. This
will have it's influence on our civic
problems. Too often graft and sloth
have been sheltered by a division
of responsibility so fine that no one
knew whom to blame.

THE STORY OF ELOISE.

1t sounds a little like the title OF
a French novel but it isn't. Eloise is
no Camille but a farmers daughter
down in Page county where that
Fields girl was superintendent of
schools several years ago and start
ed something agricultural among the
school children. Eloise did little
farming on her own hook last sum-
mer. She had her father pillow and
prepare a tenth of an acre. She
planted it to tomatoes and took care
of them. She picked her first ripe
ones on July % and took thirty-two
bushels off the patch up to Oct. Z.
She sold six bushels to the grocery
men, put up sixty quarts of tomato
butter, canned sixty quarts in glass
and filled 1870 No. tin cans. Some
of her canning went to the state
fair where she won first prize of
SIS on best individual exhibit.
Eloise's expenses were; One-half
cost of Gamer" she divided that
cost with the family: $50 No. cans,
forty hours of work, cost of plow-
ing ground all amounting, she says,
to $1,000. She has made the big
gest kind of wages for her work.
That is the story of Eloise Parsons,
a little girl down on a Page county,
Iowa, farm, says the Marshalltown
Times-Republican.
The lesson is plain. If it pays
Eloise Parsons to cultivate one tenth
of an acre intensively, can $50 to
$50 worth of winter supplies, If
bought at retail, sell six bushels of
tomatoes, pay all her expenses and
have a half interest in a mechanical
canning device left 1t ought to have
some effect on the high cost of living

all. Eloises patch is no more fer

SALARY CUT TO $4,000
But Vermont Will Retain Its Two
Customs Districts.

Burlington, March 6:-Vermont is
to continue to have two customs dis
tricts, but the income of the collec-
tors is cut from some $4,000 to $751;
600 down to $4,000 per year.
A telegram received yesterday by
Collector c. II. Darling from Senator
w. p. birmingham sets at rest one of
the questions which has agitated Yer
mont politicians for more than year
and which will probably have di-
rect bearing in changing the ambi-
lions of some. The telegram has to
do with the order of President Taft
in recognizing the customs depart
ment and which abo,ishes all fees,
manifests and emoluments of the of
fee of collector of the customs dis
tTict of Vermont and substitutes for
it a salary of $4,000 per year. 1t al
so settles in the negative the ques-
ton as to whether the two districts
in Vermont are to be consolidated
by definitely establishing the bound
aries of each.
With the exception of the change
in the remuneration to the collector,
The order which reduces 165 customs
districts to 40 in the United States
will make little difference to Yer
mont except that a few minor sub
ports will be abolished. Since both
districts remain in Vermont. it fol-
lows that Burlington will be the head
quarters for the western district, as
it, was only in case of the consolida-
ton that St Adams was mentioned
as the probable seat of the main
office.
