HAMMOND
LOSES PLANT
To B. ISLAND
Factory Employing From
500 to 800 People is Lost
Because of Water Supply
Tremendous Efforts to
Nullify.


Hammond has lost its opportunity
that ever looked over this district since
the Standard Steel Car Company To-
Gated. Libby, Mcneil & Libby have To-
Gated a new plant at Blue Island, Ill.
where they have bought twenty Ell ght
acres of land. 1t will cost $500, 900 and
will employ 500 men.
1t was through the efforts OF Hast
ings. Woods & Company of Hammond
and OF Andrew Reiner of Highlands
that Hammond was considered at ALL
Hammond lost out for the following
reasons:
The new plant is to be for the pack
ing and manufacture Of food products
and Hammonds water supply was so
filthy that although every effort was
made to locate the concern here, the
objection to the water supply could
not be overcome.
Absolute cleanliness is necessary to
the environment of the new plant. Two
locations on the north side were sub
mitted by Hasting. Woods & Company.
One was ten acres owned by Gostlyn.
Meyn & Company, south of 150th street
between Oak and Hickory streets. The
other was the acreage in back of
Douglas Park. The dust and dirt re-
sulting from the unpaved condition OF
150th street and from the air pollution
from smoke stacks of adjacent fac
tories decided the officials of the
company against that location The
distance of the Douglas Park location
from the labor market decided them
against that location.
The first thing the officials Of the
company inquired into was the mar
ket for female labor. The north side
of Hammond was admitted to be unex-
celled in this respect.
Libby, Mcneil G. Libby's concern was
different from the other concerns in
the region. The making of food must
be under the most ideal conditions
Steel factories may be surrounded by
dirt. smoke and disorder. Any kind
of water will do. Sewage is unimport-
ant.
Hastings. Woods & Company did
everything they could to overcome OBJ
jections. They got out an exhaustive
report on the water situation in which
they vainly tried to get away from
the objections to Hammond's water
pollution.
The city chemist did everything but
perjure himself in an effort to present
favorable view of the situation but
the Chicago officials were wise and
sent their own chemists out to make
analysis of the water. At Blue Island
where the plant has located water is
secured from the city of Chicago from
crib four miles out in the lake.
Hastings. woods & Company then
secured letters from Superintendent
Ralph remnant of the Hirsh Stein Com
pany and from Superintendent Daily of
the American Maize Products Com
pany, stating that they were using the

Of course you don't!

your bit.
It's up to You-the You that's

self that You guess there1l be

there won't be. Don't take any
chances. The things too big,
too vital. You can buy one bond

forget that part of it. Do it be-
cause you want to. Do it be-
cause you believe that your
Country is the best ever, be-
cause you believe she's dead
right, because, whether she's
the best or the second best,
dead right or all wrong, she's
yours!
But if you won't do it from
patriotism, do it anyhow.
Uncle Sam needs your money.
If you're piker enough to care
nothing for the throb part of it
and if you are I hope you

good investment, consarn you!

five hundred dollar interest in

borrow on it at any bank In the
world. Only do it and do it
now.

with just subscribing to the

INDIANAPOLIS. IND, June 10
Word from Washington has reached
Jesse Eschbach. Indiana state con-
scription agent, that final orders for the
next step in the draft have about been
completed and that they will be sent
out soon. 1t is settled. so this in
formation states. that married men will
not be exempted. merely because they
are married.
1t is understood that it is the de-
cision of the government authorities not
to exempt by classes except where such
exemption is specifically provided in the
law. The keenest interest attaches TO
the position the government Will take in
regard to married men.
An examination of the registration
returns received at the office of the
provost-marshal general at Washing ton
shows that if all the married men who
registered should be exempted-in other
words If they should be exempted as a
class-the men available for service
would be reduced possibly to 5000. 600
or 100000. Out Of this number would
have to come the exemptions provided
by law. the exemptions that will neces-
sarily have to be made on account OF
exemptions as may be decided on.
In the case of married men the policy
of the government will decide each case
on its merits. This means that married
men will not be exempted as a class
Where a married man said on his regis
tration card that he claims exemption
by reason of having a wife and child OF
children dependent on him. his case will
be considered first by the local con-
scriptfon board. If he is not exempted
there and is not satisfied with the rul-
ing of that board it will be considered
at his request by the appeal exemption
board for the federal judicial district
in which he lives.
Plainly. it is TO be the policy of the
government not to exempt married mer
where the evidence presented shows
that their going to the war will not
cause their wives to become a burder
OH others. Where it is shown that the
wife of the registered man has ample
means of her own to care for her dur.
ing her husbands absence the husband
will not be exempted. it is indicated.
This information will be of interes-
TO those married men in Indiana as wei
as in other states who have felt thai
they were secure from military servic,
because of the fact that they ha6
families.
