ARM AND

SLOGAN
Idleness to Be Frowned
Upon in High School Cir
cles This Summer-Boys
and Girls Alike Plan Gar
dening and Farm Work.
Arm and farm.


That is the slogan Hammond has
adopted in accordance with the move
ment for the increase of industrial pro-
duction and agriculture.
hammond has given the nation the
greatest number of volunteers of any
city Of the size in the state and there
fore is more proportionately intensely
Interested in a speedy and successful
conclusion of the war
Men food and munitions are needed
and Hammond is producing all of these
but plans to increase the production.
Idleness during the sumr9er vacation
is being frowned upon in the Hammond
high school where boys and girls are
planning to work on the farms. Slips
were given out to the 700 students in
the high school yesterday concerning
each individuals intentions of spending
the vacation. Principal McElroy is en-
couraging the boys TO withdraw from
school for the remainder of the semes-
ter to take employment on farms for
which credits Will be givn them
Are you going to be a producer this
summer" is the question asked on
each slip of paper. Other questions arc
asked as to whether the pupil intends
entering an industry or going on a
farm if he or she has been promised
position if he plans gardening at home
or with some organization, and what
kind of work ir preferred.
The answers are coming in and viii
he classified. Many of the pupils took
the slips home TO consult with their
parents The high school will be dis
missed the first week of June and it is
Principal AIcElroy's wish that all who
are able engage in productive work.
Leonard Babcock and Wilbur Schreib-
or withdrew from school today to en-
gage in farm work
The board of education decided week
ago to give school credits to boys who
present proof that they have engaged in'
farm work for at least two months this
summer.
The principal is not encouraging the
girl sto do farm work but they are talk
ing OF it just the same. They are club
bing together to get land for gardens
south OF the city which they can culti-
vate-
There is no excuse for able bodied
men TO be idle now, work is plentiful
The farmers are calling for help.

Northeliffe is probably the squares
facer of facts in England. He never
lodges. Today the United Press put
squarely up to- him the proposition Of
gathering doubt and distrust in Amer
lea resulting from belief that British
officialdom has not been frank with
America in its statements of submarine
losses-and possibly has not told the
full truth regarding the allies successes
on the west front
"In regard to the loss of tonnage hv
submarines" said Lord NorthcliFe.
there is no doubt that the figures are
serious. The government does not pre-
vent our newspapers from saying SO nor
prevent American correspondents from,
saying so.
The government viii. I believe. pub
lish the full facts and figures as soon as
they can arrange the matter with the
French and Italian allies.
Il do not hesitate to say in my news
papers that the submarine menace is
the most serious we have had so far but
to pretend that the war can be won by
submarines is preposterous. Certainly
there can be no complaint of lack of
frankness or of overcensorship in the
reports of United Press and Associated
Press correspondents at the British
front.
I'm the early nart Of the war I was
one of the censorships most severe
