While Trying on New Suit.

opcNidi "
Dubuque, May 15.-A well-known
farmer near Dubuque went into a local
clothing store Saturday evening to
purchase a new suit of clothes. He
tried on the trousers and went out OF
the dressing room to view himself in
a 1nirrer leaving his CID trousers With
sos in their pockets in the dressing
room. When he returned the ola
trousers and money had disappeared
The pocket book which had contained
the money was found some time later
in an alley near the store. The pro-

out and gave him in cash the difference
between what he claimed to have in
the purse and the price OF the new
suit. No account was taken OF the old
trousers.

Some people in Hammond have about
as much conception of their patriotic
duty and investment with reference to
the new liberty loan bond issue as cat
has of Sunday. There are slackers ga

such.

of City Chairman Mrs. o. c. E. Matth-
les.
In another case the excuse was given
the family automobile was absorbing
all the available cash.
But while the loan subscriptions are
tagging, there are incidents too, which
show that a heart Hammond is patriotic.
For instance the Hammond high school
which set itself a mark Of $1,000 is
within 500 of its goal It's students
have taken up s2s0o in bonds, while
the faculty members have subscribed
for $4,000 worth of bonds. making to-
tai Of $4,000. The Ladies' Aid of the
