CROWN POINT NEWS
Result of the Shoot. Evidently the reluctance of the members of the Crown Point Gun Club, who participated In the shoot at Lowell Sunday last. In making public their scores, proves that the boys hit the atmosphere more times than they did the clay birds. John Foss Is the only one who is up and ready to give his score, he killing 23 out of 25. The shooters claim conditions were anything but favorable to the making of clean scores, but promise to redeem themselves in the future.

Want Crusade Continued.
Teb Timxs was commended on Its article concerning the Monon picnics
at Cedar Lake yesterday and was asked
to continue the fight for Lake county
TieoDle In ridding the beautiful little
resort of Its unsavory reputation. As
a rule, that is all the encouragement a
newspaper gets by taking the inltia
five in a reform movement, and the
populace In general are perfectly will
ing to set by and let the newspaper hear the brunt of the fight and the
curses of the people who get squeezed.
Thb Times has pointed out the evils, sees the necessity of a remedy, if for no other reason than the harm done
to the growth of the coming genera
tion, and now It's up to the people and other county papers to cooperate and help make Cedar Lake a pleasure spot fit for the use of all law-abiding and
respectable Lake county citizens. It con be done and will be done provid
ing Well, It's up to you.

RENSSELAER MAN SAYS
GARY IS NOT DRY.
Puts His Fellow Timnnnrn on the night Track Ilcjrurrilnsr Steel Town Conditions.
Frank B. Meyer, postmaster de facto of Gary, came down Saturday evening and returned Monday evening. Some people seem to entertain the idea that Gary is a dry town. Well, it isn't by any means, and the people up there think they have found a way around the decision of the board of commissioners making it dry. They propose to incorporate It as a city and that will. In their opinion, allow them to start everything over again. There are many licenses that will run several months yet, long enough to try this experiment. Jasper County Democrat.

Railroad Commission Appeals to Press to Spread WamlnK. The Indiana railroad commission has taken up the question of grade crossing accidents with the press of Indiana. For several months the commission has
been exerting every effort to decrease the number of grade crossing accidents. Reports have shown that many of these accidents are due to the carelessness of those who cross the railroad tracks. The commission is now mailing out copies of the current ac
cident bulletin to all newspapers of the state, and each copy is accompanied by the following circular: "To the public press of Indiana: "The railroad commission of Indiana respectfully requests your co-operation In advising and warning the people of the state of the great danger of going upon or crossing over highway grade
crossiners. We inclose you our acci- I
dent bulletin No. 4, which will give you full information on this subject. Your attention is called to pages 5, 6, 7, 10, 13 and 14. We will be greatly obliged If you" will mail us a copy of your paper showing what you write on this important subject."
