The red blood of Hammond seems to
have gone to the front. The yellow IS
here.
Hammond as yet is a city of financial
slackcrs Last night the city which has
put a thousand men in uniform. was in
directly cheering the desperate Hohen-
zolierns with the fact that it had not
yet subscribed one-third of its 5000
O00 allotment
To see the negative attitude Of scores
of persons with reference TO the liberty
bonds one might almoyt believe that
they would rather see Germany win this
war than their own country. Some peo-
people seem not as yet TO have grasp
ed the simple idea. that the word Lib
erty Bond Is just another name for a
savings method
Hammond will be put to its supreme
test tomorrow when the fifty business
men will sweep the city for inves tors.
1t will be interesting to hear just
what some Of the slackers will have TO
say for themselves: why they will be
unable to save few dollars for them
selves during the next year.
1t is up to the city as a whole
and to the individuals to show some in
itiative in getting their name on sub
scription blank
True 953 have already done nobly but
30 0OO more are to be hear from To
accommodate these all the banks in the
city will be open every evening until
further notice.

After deliberating four hours Fri

of William H. Hipkins, charged with
the murder of George WebsteE col
ored, brought in verdict of mot
guilty of murder, but guilty of man
slaughter, with the extreme mercy
of the court Sentence was sus-
pended by Judge Harlan.
The trial began in the Circuit
Court at Bel Air Tuesday. The kill
ing occurred in May last at Hipkins'
shanty on the Susquehanna River,
near Rock Run. During the trial
the defense set up strong plea for
self-defense, claiming that the negro
was drunk and quarrelsome at the
time the shooting occurred; that he
threatened Hipkins' life, and that
Hipkins fred only when he thought
his own life was in danger. The
state fought hard for conviction on
the ground that the shooting was
without cause.

seed bed. cultivation after almost
every rain and plenty of fertilizer to
give the crop a rapid growth
throughout the season. Mr.. King
