FROM NEIGHBORING TOWN, AND CITY
Remonstrants Busy. It is rumored that a remonstrance will be filed against the Grant street paving improvement at the next meeting of the town board by property owners living on that thoroughfare, and it is now a question whether anything will be done with that street this year. The remnants of the block paving are an eyesore to the town and a detriment to its progress, but It seems that if the popular sentiment is observed that a wait of a year or two will have to be made before most of the people are ready for new paving. Meanwhile those traveling the streets will be compelled to endure their horrible condition for some time to come.
Fanners in Favor of It.
In a canvass of the farmers living on the course of the races here in June, it developes that in every case that they are in favor of, and want to aid in securing the big races, and so far hardly a remonstrance has been heard against them. The Chicago officials In charge of the races have sent complimentary tickets to the town officials and others here, and it is thought that work on the road repair will commence as soon as that committee decides as to the most practical and feasible plan to put them in the best possible shape.

"The people of this town must obey orders to the letter," said a traveling man yesterday. "For Instance, look at those signs on the corners of tho court house grounds, "Please keep off the grass," Pont let a blade grow, do they?" said the drummer as he hlcked for the depot. Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Runstrum of Chicago, are visiting friends here for several days and will visit relatives at Palmer over Saturday and Sunday.
The new list of books being received at the Public library at present contain some of the best of the recent works of fiction, travel and reference
and will be a valuable asset to the growing list of volumes. Contrary to the prediction of many at the time, the library was built, the interest in the institution increases Instead of decreases and Librarian Hansen is kept busy most of the time in her official capacity. Real estate in the north end of town has taken considerable of a raise since the interurban talk, and property that could have been bought cheap, has now risen to where fancy prices are the prevailing rule. Many fine residences have been built recently, some In course of construction, and some contemplated in this section of town, and the event of street car service will
build the north part tof town quicker than anything else. The recent heavy rains have taxed
the basement sewers to their capacity and some basements are nearly full of
water. The ground is like a sponge.
and it don't need much squeezing to start a flow of water. The farmers are anxiously awaiting the chance to
get into their fields for their spring
work, a task they have been unable to
perform up to this time on account of
too much water.
Yesterday was one of the quietest
days experienced in Crown Point for some time, probably on account of the farmers being busy in the fields. The
merchants are complaining of an ab normally dull season, but hope condi
tions will improve with a more settled
state of the weather.

WHITING NEWS
Have you ever considered an advertising campaign from the standpoint of an insurance policy? You Insure against such contingencies as flre, shipping disaster, dishonest employes, etc., as a matter of course, but the moment some one mentions advertising as a business builder for your particular benefit you immediately begin to "hedge" and vow that you cannot afford such an expensive luxury, etc. Have you ever thought that the greatest of all commercial calamities
loss of trade can be insured
against?
The "premium" represented by the
cost of advertising is, in proportion to
the importance of the security afforded, no higher than other insurances; in fact, It is considerably smaller and
soon becomes a minus quantity. Any other kind of Insurance Is an expense; worse than that It Is a dead loss so
long as there is no "claim."
But the insurance of trade repre
sented by advertising carries a direct
profit with it. It covers not only the risk of losing trade, but also the minor risk of being compelled by competition to carry on business at a diminishing proportion of profit.
Thus the insurance premiums repre
sented by your advertising outlay are
systematically recouped by the cur
rent and simultaneous increase of
profits.
A considerable proportion of such premiums could properly be treated as Invested capital, since the good will and assured maintenance of demand Is
a tangible and salable asset.
Think it over you who have been accustomed to regard advertising as
so much blue sky and hot air. It s a
thoroughly practicable business prop
ositlon and should be considered in no
other light. Keep up your advertising
premiums and you won't have to die
to win.
