County Judge McCOrd Makes Some Explanations
Nh. Editor.

Nh. Editor. -
 Please allow me space on your pa l per to say few things in my own 8behalf about some things that have Happened and been done relative to gmy position in certain things.
 \ First. l will pay respect to some things that happened during the pro- cedure of our Quorum court. Dur ing this court as many know there was many questions asked, and among them was the question as to what was done with the money that was voted by the Quorum Court in 1920 to pay for county demonstration work. And in a short way of answering I stated that it has been used for other purposes. Ed HollOwen, a justice of the peace, remarked that I had spent it for something the law didn't allow. An assertion that was and is not true, and he knows it is not true, and he can not establish his assertion as ai fact. Now, where there is an appropriation made by the Quorum Court for any specific purpose, the Judge has the right and power to spend or not spend the countys money for specific purposes. And the fact that our circuit court expense was between three and four thousand dol lars more than usual, for the past year, decided that we had to cut expenses somewhere. and I decided that could afford to cut out the expense of the demonstration work better than anything else.

CREAMERY IS PROPOSED
Movement Launched at Hope to Es-
 tabIish Plant There,

Hope, Nov 5.-A mOeYent has been launched here by George Dodd, manager of the Hempstead County Cream Shippers Association; Homer w. Pigg, county agent, and C. A. Tun- nell, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, looking to the establish ment of a cooperative creamery at Hope. This action was made neces.. sary by the depressed condition of the market for country butter, which went begging on the streets here last week.
 The dairy COWS in the Hope trade territory provide surplus Of dairy products after local consumption is taken care of, and it is becoming Q problem to sell these products at prices that will make the industry profitable. Last spring a cream ship pers' association was organized and approximately 200 gallons of cream week The price is very satisfactory, but because of the trouble in making shipments on certain days not more than 50 or 60 of the farmers have gone in for cream shipments. It is beli we'd that a small creamery will provide an adequate market for all the cream that is produced and. that with market at home for their pro. ducts, the farmers will increase their herds

HIGH CLASS
BASKETBALL
FOR HAMMOND

Now that the football season has
come to a close Hammond sport lovers
will turn their attention to the COM
ing indoor season of basketball. That
Hammond Is to be we'll represented in
bask EFT ball Is assured by the Comets
club. News from the Comets strong
hold on the northeast side IS that they
will probably have the strongest
amateur team that ever represented
Hammond in that line of sport.
The Comets do not claim TO be
world heaters. but promise to give the
fans the best that can be had in their
class. The Comets will open their
homo season at the Irving school
gym, Thursday evening. December 1,
1921. Their opponents will be an
nounced later in this place: IFS prob
able that the South Chicago Whales
Will be the attraction. The Garfield

play with the Comets are Shefdon,

Krause. Stelow and others. Every
one knows the ability OF Sheldon. the
All-American forward, who was pick
ed for that position In the season OF
1919 and 1920 when playing on the
Charlottesville. Ind. high school team
when that team won the national title.
Last season Sheldon starred on the
Hammond high school team and later
with the Comets. He Is considered
the cleverest and speediest player that
ever played in Hammond.
Scott. captain of the Comets. 10 also
q product of the Hammond high school
team OF last season. He learned the
game on the North Side. He Is a
wonder on the defensive and can
usually out jump his opponent at CEN
ter.
In Grace the Comets have one of
the most reliabel guards that ever
played in these parts. He was chosen
on the All Lake County team when
playing on the Hammond high school
team in 191e-I920. DeRolf has play
ed on the Comets team for the past
two seasons. He is dependable
player and can play forward as well
as guard. Krause and Wills are other
good guards. while Chandler who will
probably start at center, is an old
head at the game. His playing will
steady the team lot for he is cool
headed and can stand the storm in q
crucial battle.
The Comets team will be fast and
trickey. They have been practicing
for the past three weeks and should be
in mid-season form on opening night
