MOORHEAO
BACK FROM
NEEDED REST

Paul G. Moorehead. president of
the Moorhead Oil Company, is back
on the job again after a months
vacation spent ia Southern CALI
fornia, where he has been recuper-
atsng from a threatened nervous
breakdown. Paul takes the credit
OF bringing the Southern Califor-
MIA sunshine back with him that
Hammond is enjoying 1t this time.
Mr.. Moorhead is jLst full of pep as
ever. which is demonstrated by the
fact that the first thing he did upon
his return was to bring out before
the public in Hammond and vicinity
the largest tank r1ck in the world
"a $500 gallon Mack truck. which
Mr. Moorehead announces is going
to haul Marland gasoline into Chi
cago, where a demand is gradually
being created by the automobile
owners who buy Marland products
on their way through Hammond.
Paul has also convinced the auto
mobile speed king racers. who are
going to drive at the big races at
Porter on Sunday. May 18th, that
Marland oils and MarIand gasoline
surpass all other products that are
sold in this region at this time.
This after a very thorough test
made by some OF the drivers. Paul
wishes to announce that the same
gasoline that Is reed in the racing
cars will be on sale to the public
at the Porter track out of the
Moorchead Oil Company truck at
the regular market price.

HAMMOND MAN
SENTENCED FOR DAY
Franklin J. Perry Tells
Judge Anderson An
Unusual Story.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. May IL
Franklin J. Perry, charged with
stealing from interstate shipments
at Hammond, pleaded guilty before
Judge Anderson in federal court
and was sentenced to one day in
jail without costs. He had been
released on bond and had fed TO
Ohio. He told the court he had
come to Indianapolis from Toledo
for the purpose of giving himself
UP and paying the debt he owed the
government. He said he was IS
years old and had spent twelve
years of that time in the peniten-
tiary. BY attending night school,
he explained, he had learned to
read and write since he was rs
years old.
Homer Elliott, United States dis
trict attorney. announced that he
had received a letter from Wash
ington, notifying him that all pris-
oners were to be sent to Atlanta in
stead OF to Iseavenworth. Judge
Anderson instructed that all SEN
tences be entered for Atlanta, in
compliance with the instructions
from Washington.

day night. Mr.. Betz and son Ly-
man. were forced to pay $40 10
the conductor of the Mexican

stop the train and put them of
IN the desert. AS a pretext for
the extortion the conductor said
stheir railroad tickets had not
been stamped in the right place.
Mr.. Betz and his son left
Hammond the last week of
April for five-day trip into
Mexico. In that time, Mr.. Betz
made a study of business condi-
tions. Mr.. Betz is somewhat of
a. lfnguist and In his jaunts
about the globe keeps on the
lookout for expressive adjec-
tives. He made good use of his
knowledge of Spanish when he
was awakened by the surly con-
ductor in white Uniform and

borers of Hammond. who are tax

education was not only unfair to
union labor. but MAS unfair to all
manufacturers of school building
fixtures except the Wolf Manufac-
turing Company. He said that Il
was plain to be seen the Wolf Man
ufacturing Company could charge

This makes the total $15.50o.
Some of the house work
ers came in this morning disheart-
ened. Hours of work had netted
them little.
Think OF travelling the length Of
street in what has been classed as
Hammond's best residential district,
and receiving only s1.5o for the Boy
Scouts and Salvation Army Solic-
itors are doing much better in parts
of town where the appearance of af-
f1uence is lacking. Hammond with
population of 10000 is showing up
sadly In comparison with West Ham
mond's 10000 on this residential dis
trict work. West Hammond's homes
gave $500.
But then there's the wrecking
Crew Chairman George Hannauer
calls 1t his Super-Committee. He
already has 1t organized in squads
and Is now compiling a long list of
persons and firms who have not
come up to expectations. They'll
be visited.
The returns from all factories will
not be definitely known until a few
days yet as collections there are very
slow.
Those in charge of the drive are
still confident that by strenuous ef-
fort the $4,000 can be rounded up
before the end OF the week
