Oiling or Sprinkling Sanitary
Necessity and Demands
Action.

There is no question but that
the principal streets of the city
that are paved should be sprinkled
with water and the unpaved streets
oiled. This is a sanitary necessity

The method, of course, is pre-

MORE GOOD
THINGS FOR
DESERVING

When a hungry school boy instead
of eating them quietly wraps up the
turkey meat and goodies that were
intended for him at the newsboys' ban
quet, such as was given at the HAM
mond Chamber of Commerce yesterday
by the Settlement House workers.
there is something wrong somewhere
The ladies who served the boys yes
terday noticed one in the happy throng
whose face was not so carefree as the
faces of his companions. He nibbled
at his food while others ate with a
wholesome appetite.
Sonny, why don't you eat instead
of taking your things away from the
table in a napkin?" said an observing
lady to the youngster. He was visibly
embarrassed and finally said something
to his inquirer about his mother being
sick and poor, and that he was saving
his turkey for her. His words and his
conduct touched the ladies who thought
that everybody in Hammond had been
remembered in this season of good
cheer.
The young man was called into the
kitchen where he was given a we'll
TILED basket to take to his north side
home. This morning the case that had
come to light accidentally, was in
vestigated and was found to be a
worthy one
So plentiful was the food at the
banquet yesterday that an ample sup
, ply was left over for the Baptist mis-
sion in East Hammond where the
children Toasted last night. In addi-
ton, a poor family at Globe Station,
was cared for, and FIVE more baskets
were distributed among families in
various parts of Hammond.
Not the least enjoyable part of the
! bays program yesterday was a 4
o'clock matinee performance at the
Bijou. which Manager Van Sickle had
arranged purposely as a treat for the
210 boys who took advantage of his
free admission offer.

downs that go now and then to ruffle
a mans disposition, and taking it by
the large, it was a pleasant year up
here in this office; all that could be
asked
II fully believe that 1913 was Ham
monds greatest year. The city has
passed its main milestone and in five
years will be doubled in population In
twelve years Hammond will be 100, 900.
The passage of the deep sewer i'm
provement was the greatest thing any
administration ever did for the city.
Up to this last year the city has been
justified in make-shifts, for the prop
erty owners could not stand the cost
of deep sewer with settling tanks.
But now with north side property en-
HANGED in value from forty TO 100 per
cent il is time to build the system.
There was $1,000. ooe in new build
ing this year"

SUGAR FACTORY MAN
SAYS BEGIN BEET DIGGING NOW

Fred G. Holmes manager Of the
Grand Junction sugar factory has sent
out instructions to all the beet grow
ers in western Colorado to begin dig
ging beets. Tests have been made in
several sections and the sugar con-

arrive during the next week or SO to
allow the factory to start up by the
middle of the month.
Mr.. Holmes declared that crop con-
ditions in the Uncompahgre, Grand
and Gunnison valleys were almost
ideal and that at least a 100,000-ton
crop is expected.
The movement Of beets to the juno
ton factory is expected before the end
of the present week.
