There Is an ever increasing demand

among botn tne Town ana country teachers for reference books to, use in their work. At present readers and speakers are most frequently called for to provide recitations and dialogues for the closing exercises in May. This means a heavy drain on the book fund unless tho schools consent to cooperate with the library as they should.

Business Change. An" important business change .transpired in Crown Point yesterday a i

whereby a Gary man became the owner

of one of the best business ventures in Crown Point. Will Steeb, proprietor of the candy, cigar and biscuit agency in this place, and operating an extensive supply route between the several Lake' county towns, sold his" interests to Max Klrchman of Gary, who will take immediate .passession of the business and operate ' It under the firm name of the Calumet Candy and Cracker company. Mr. Klrchman will have headquarters at Crown Point and Gary, the business here- to be managed by his son, Charles Klrchman. The purchase includes the goodwill, pro

spective business, auto truck, present

stock and other paraphernalia of Mr

Steeb, and the consideration is said to have been large. Mr. Steeb has not decided as to what business he will

engage in, but a pleasure trip to Call

fornia and the west will probably be

his first venture,

Property Owners Petition. A petition, said to be well signed, is

being circulated by property owners adjacent to the strip of land known as the Bixenman property, and contemplated being purchased or cemetery purposes, remonstrating against the purc-hase of tthe said: tract on account of the damage to their property values, which the residents think will accrue if the land la purchased for that purpose. The town board, who have the solving of the vexatious question, is in a dilemma as to what course to pursue. The purchase of any land for cemetery purposes will .no doubt

materially decrease the value of the adjoining property, and the whole thing simmers down to a question as to whose land should be so damaged.

be honored by the presence of John E.

W. Wayman of Chicago, state's attor-

much and getting a great reputation by

exposing graft in Chicago.

Attorney Wayman is a very busy

I possible to come, but having now man

lng people and many from surrounding

cities are anticipating hearing a good lecture, although Attorney Wayman has

not yet announced his subject. The lecture course this year, consisting of five numbers, has been very successful, and the one for tomorrow night Is a fitting climax for the other successful numbers. About two years ago Attorney Wayman appeared before the Men's club of the Congregational church, giving "The

Consciousness of Guilt" from Macbeth, which was one of the best lectures ever heard in Whiting.

SAI,E AROl'SES WIDESPREAD ' INTEREST. The lumbermen have at last released for settlement their vast tracts of rich Wisconsin land, a total of over 500.000 acres. The very best of this land, comprising 160,000 acres in the .famous Round Lake Country. In Sawyer County, Wis., is now being cut up into farms and sold at from $6.50 to $20 per acre on ten years' time. The low prices and easy terms on which this rich land may be secured challenges 'the attention of the owner

of high pmced land and the tenant farmer as well. Tre American ImmiRration company's great development plans are , rapidly bearing fruit and new towns are being laid out, new railroads are coming, and settlers are busily building homes and getting the land under cultivation. These lam! s are in the very heart of the state's richest dairy section. Clover grows in such abundance that this region is ki.own as the great country for stock raising. The land is capable of producing- big crops- of grain, fruit and vagetables. On much of this land there is enough timber to pay for it and furnish all the lumber for the necessary farm buildings. It is a country of abundant rainfall and the purest of water. Nine out of every ten who visit the American Immigration company's land become purchasers. The company re

funds railroad fare to purchasers.

Send for free maps, descriptive books and all necessarv information at once to the local representative of the companv and e-pt. your pick of the land.
