CEDAR LAKE CLOSED TIGHT ON SUNDAY

Wide Open Resort Keeper Badly Frightened at Crusade Decides To Observe the Law. Lowell, Ind., July 14; —Reports come from Cedar Lake that all the saloons were closed tight Sunday, and that when offers to pay double priceifor drinks were made to saloon keepers on the west side of the lake they were told that they could not have a drink for SSO. Parties that came from the lake said that everything was closed all around the lake. There was a slump in the number of Chicago “sports” who come to the lake Sundays to have a good time, owing to this war being made against the saloons and dives. One keeper of a notorious' joint, who has been harboring a bunch of Chicago ‘‘ladies,” has become pretty badly scared and went to Crown Point to And out what the Law and Order league was going to do with him, so report says. It is understood that the proprietors of the Webber, Gerbing and Spanier saloons have declared their intentions of observing the Sunday closing law. It is ~ further stated that a movement is on foot to incorporate the east side to prevent the Moody influence from getting control.

Judge Wason Issues Peculiar Sentence to Monticello Boys.

Monticello Journal. Lowell Perrlgo, Ralph Jones, Everett Lawrie and Train Behrens were brought before Judge Wason Monday, charged with stealing ice cream from the Edgewater Club House. The judge dismissed them with a reprimand and with the order that they go to chucrh or Sunday school every Sunday. They must bppear before the court September Bth and give proof that they have obeyed these orders. There was not sufficient brick on hand to complete the paving off Washington street and the contractor and used in a triangular space at the intersection of Front street a number of Brazil brick, which seem to be quite inferior in quality. After they were laid it was decided not to accept them and the Street will therefore not be completed until after the arrival of the Wabash brick. It also developed that the briek had not been laid at right angles with the street and this cause da bad place where the brAk joined up at the intersection above mentioned, and some very crude patch work was undertaken, but it is to be tom out and an effort made to correct itwhen the paving brick arrive. To all appearances the brick on the south aide of the street had been placed much closer together than thoes on the north side and at the briek had been laid from both the east and west ends of the improvement they dosed upon the north . sidepf the street about four bricks aheadNQf the south side. Aside from .this bobble the street in general respects seems very good.

Home Gardening and Canning Club Work.

Through the co-operation of the, superintendent and teachers of the Indianapolis city schoMs with Z. M. Smith, assistant in boys’ and girls’ club work of the Purdue agricultural extension department, an immense work has been launched. This is in the nature qf home gardening and canning club work. Supt. J. G. Collicott, of the Indianapolis public schools, saw the need of more practical work for his pupils and began to look around tor something that would answer the purpose. Z. M. Smith, of the Purdue agricultural extension department, went before the teachers and pupils of Indianapolis and spoke on "Home Gardening.” From his broad experience with conditions over the state of Indiana, he we able to show that there was pot only much* of interest but of profit to the bby and girl who could enter a corn club, a potato club, a poultry club or some agricultural organization, and therein find a new joy in working with growing things that respond to Intelligent handling. Mr. Smith succeeded in reaching directly a greater per cent of the Indianapolis boys and girls in these talks. He was able to show how alittle out of school time spent on a home garden plot could be made a souflee of pleasure and profit, and how some might learn that the soil had a stronger call for them than business or the trades.

The Indianapolis school board took up the matter and helped the good work along. The teachers took up the matter of enrollment and they found out how many pupils had a home garden plot or could make one, and then enrolled them that they might get the seeds and receive instructions on the work during the growing season. As a result of this work,-statistics show that 16,961 boys and girls are enrolled for home garden work during the summer in Indianapolis. Reports from 67 principals of the schools in the state give the areas in square feet of the garden for each school. The smallest area is 363 square feet and Hie largest is 710,400 square feet. These garden areas have all been planned by the pupils thmselves. The seeds* were furnished at wholesale cost to each pupil, who has planted only those flowers and vegetables that have appealed to him The entire area of the home garden plots is 81.74 acres. This is a good sized farm to be farmed intensively by nearly 17,000 “farmers,” which will return a goodly stum in gross receipts. The work has been progressing in such a satisfactory manner that Prof. O. H. Bonson, specialist in charge, Washington, D. C., has been secured to give a home canning demonstration on July 20 and 21, at Winona Technical Institute in Indianapolis. Prof. Bonson thinks that the elimination of wastes is one of the surest remedies for poverty and the high cost of living. With a little knowledge of preparing foods aru canning them, this high cost will be greatly reduced. The Work of the. Indianapolis boys and girls will prove that a great amount of this waste can be ellminated.-

-Rev. J. C. Parrett will preach at Curtis Creek school house in Newton township Sunday afternoon, July 19th, at 2 o’clock. AH are invited to attend. If weather Is very hot the service will be held ip A, J. Yeoman’s grove.

GREAT PANAMA GUN CARRIES 23 MILES

Big 16-Inch Gun .Would Send ProTectile From Reneselaer All the Way to Medaryville. '

Washington, D. C., J.uly lA—When its breech locking device has been perfected at Watervliet arsenal, the great sixteen inch gun, the biggest piece of ordnance in the world, which has been shipped from the Sandy Hook proving grounds, will ..be virtually ready for service on the Panama canal fortifications. The carriage for this giant gun is under construction at the Watertown, Mass., 'arsenal. It probably will be taken back to Sandy Hook for tests after being mounted and will not be shipped to Panama before next spring. A conception may be obtained of the tremendous power of this gun, destined to protect the Pacific entrance to the Panama canal, from the fact that ft is fifty feet long. The projectile weighs a ton and is discharged by 665 pounds of powder. It requires eight men to carry the powder charge. This gun has a maximum range of from twenty-two to twenty-three miles, or half the distance between New York city and West Point. The eleyatdon permitted by its carriage will enable the gu*n to fire a projectile about eleven miles across the Pacific ocean. It has sufficient power, theoretically, to .piece two feet Of the best ormar at the muzzle At eleven miles the gun is calculated to pierce a twelve inch armor plate or any side armor afloat When a shell leaves the gun it is revolving around its axis at about 4,000 revolutions a minute and develops a pressure of 38,000 potmds to the square inch. The pressure to the rear of the gun and forward on the projectile amounts to 7,600, 000 pounda The projectile’s velocity of 2,250 feet a second gives a muzzle’energy of more than 84,000 foot tons—that Is, an energy capable of raising forty-two tons one foot every second.

Army ordnance officers believe this gun will be a tremendous instrument of ipeace when it is in position on the Panama canal.

THEY ALL DEMAND IT.

Rensselaer, Like Every City and Town in the Union, Receives It People with kidney ills want to be cured. When one suffers the tortures of an aching back/ relietf is eagerly sought for. There are many remedies today that relieve, but not permanently. Doan’s Kidney Pills have brought lasting results to thousands. Here is proof of merit from this vicinity. Mrs. Mary E. Wareher, 8. James St., Goodland, Ind, says: "I was taken with an acute attack of kidney trouble and distressing pains across the small ot my back. I had but little ambition, and the least exertion tired me. I was nervous and in the morning when I first got up, I felt no more rested than when I went to bed. The statements I read about Doan’s Kidney Pills so convinced me that I finally began using them. I never took another medicine that gave such prompt relief. Two boxes completely cured the attack and I had no further trouble for some time. Then I at once used Doan’s Kidney Pills and they again brought relief.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Warshner had.
