WANNER PLANT NOT As BADLY DAMAGED As FIRST THOUGHT
SEN. NEWS RECORD

The record OF Harry S. New at
Washington is unique. One
month after he took his oath OF
office, March 4, 1917, this coun-
try was precipitateo into the
great war. During the many
mournful months that followed.
Senator New. as a member of
the military affairs committee,
labored into early morning and
in the dark of night with the
chiefs of state, the military coun-
selors and advisors OF the admin
istration toward the end that
victory might be speedily real
lied.
With the termination OF hos
tility, as member of the for
eign relations committee of the
United States senate. Harry New
was again called on to exercise
industriously his time and ef-
fort in consideration OF the trea-
ty of peace and the problems at
tached~ thereto. He, with the
dozen other members of the for
eign relations committee, stood
like a bulwark OF steel between
the American people and those
internationals who would have
robbed them of their liberty.
Those few men bombarded with
newspapers, manufactured pub
lie opinion, false rumors and re-
ports from abroad are response
BILE today for the absence of in
ternatioaal strife and trouble so
far as this country is concerned.
and OF our continued loyalty and
faith In the principles of George
Washington and the fathers OF
our constitution.
After the peace had been made
Senator New applied himself dill
gently to the task of reconstruc-
tion. If every senator had la
bored as conscientiousiy and
studiously as the senior senator
from Indiana our economic and
domestic conditions would be in
much better shape now than they
are What we need is more men
in the senate like Harry New
and fewer grandstanders who
are absent from committee work
where most of the accomplish
ments OF the legislative assembly
is realized.

DIE ETR|CH

One of Hammond's pioneer indus
tries, esta ablished 80 years ago by
Fred c. Dietrich, and which, under
his energetic and able direction has
fiourished to successful proportions
will probably change hands in
reor rganization of the f. c. Dietrich
& Sons Bakery. The transaction, 1t
is said. will involve 100000 and may
result in the transformation of the
bake shop from one of compare
lively modest extent to one of the
largest baking corporations in nor
thern Indiana. A group of Chicago
capitalists and manufacturers is
said to be interested in the deal.
With a daily capacity of 2.7oo
of bread. besides hundreds of pieces
of cakes and pastries, distributed
through scores of stores in Ham
mond and East Chicago, the Diet
rich bakeries have gradually forged
to the front until now the COM
pany is one of the largest in the
district A score of employees and
three trucks are maintained to care
for the business.
saction, which, according to Mr..
Dietrich, must be consummated by
May 10, will include also the hand
some two story buildings owned by
Mr.. Dietrich and his sons at 609
Calumet avenue.
After forty years in the baking
business, Mr.. Dietrich feels that
rest is due him. he says. On ad-
vice of his physician he has decided
to give up the making of pies. pat
ties and dough nuts although he
will retain an interest in the newly
organized corporation.
He said yesterday it was problem
atical what his sons will do. They
may remain with the organization.
He did not know. The boys affilia
ted with him in the deal are Fred,
Charlie Emil and John.
He would not divulge the names
of the Chicago parties, but admitted
that they are all men of pra actical
experience in the business and may
contemplate expansion of the pres
eut plant to triple its capacity.
George Scheerer. local attorney,
is handling the legal end sf the
transaction.
Mr.. Dietrich is a member OF the
Hammond Board of Public Works.
