Lake County Home Planned for Hoosiers of Chicago.

Hammond, Ind., May 5.- —A homo on Indiana soil for the Indiana Society of Chicago, “where the selfexpatriated Hoosiers can rendezvous to woo the muses and ride Pegasus amid surroundings buccolic and idealistic,” is being promoted by Will J. Davis, a retired Chicago theatrical manager and proprietor of the Willowd|tle Stock Fann at Crown Point. Mr. Davis, who is a member of the society, has already interested a number of his fellow members In a prospective site between Crown Point and Cedar Lake, which would lend itself to golf grounds and a clubhouse, which the Chicago members could reach after a two-hour motor ride. The site under contemplation is a forty acre tract of land adjoining the Lake County Fair Grounds. The Crown Point chamber of commerce has volunteered its assistance to Mr. Davis, but as yet no definite action has been taken, as the plans are only in the formative stage.
