Tim Englehart Circulates Petitions For Improvement of Lake Co's. Most Traveled Thoroughfare
T. W. Englehardt, the proprietor of the "Princess," has started a campaign for the improvement 1 of the Kidge Itoad. This road is one of the most important in Lake county and is traveled more than any other country highway in Northern Indiana. It runs In an east and west direction south of the Little ' Calumet river from Munster to Highlands, Jackson Park, where it intersects with Broadway, and on to Hobart.
Its course is through a fertile country
and there is a larger population lo
cated along it than on any other
country road in the county.
It is said to be more extensively traveled by local and foreign automoblllsts than any other road irt this
part of the state. One estimate places
the number of automobiles which go
over this road at 200 on week days
and -from 500 to 700 on Sundays.
ROAD IX BAD SHAPE. The automobiles have cut the road to shreds 4pd in a communication to The Times T. W. Englehardt remarks that there are places where the road is al
most impassible.
Englehardt is circulating a petition to ave the road widened to a width of 20 feet. It is now paved to a width of 12 feet. The improvement for which he is petitioning is to extend from the Hobart township line to the North Township line. Its importance is due to the fact that all of the cities of Northern Lake County pour their south bound traffic into this one road and whether a vehicle Is bound for Hobart, South Gary, Crown Point, Cedar Lake, Lowell or other points . .south it is almost sure to travel some of the distance over thte Ridge Road.
The property owners along this road will aid Englehardt in his effort to have the road improved so that it will become one of the famous highways of
Indiana.

RAISE THE
TIMES
Joseph Kasper Declares that Times' Story Was Correct and that 30 Per Cent of the Business Men Turned the Picnic Committee Down.
Its palpable and customary attempt to discredit Tim Times with all of the business men and the union men ol Hammond fell flat when the Hammond News in its issue of last Saturday at
tacked an exclusive story In Thh Times
of the preceding night, which was to the effect that the Trades and Labor
Council picnic Committee was finding
difficulty in , getting donations from
some of the business men. The original
story of Tub Times is substantiated by the fact that the committee yesterday appointed three men who are to
canvass the field again. The three men are Thomas allrle, Fred French
and Barney Carter. Joseph Kasper, a member of the pic
nic committee, speaking for himself,
and J. J. Sullivan, the president of the Lake Sounty Trades and Labor Council, and Messrs, Hunt "and Reed, members of the picnic committee, today repeated the statements which he had authorized as a member of the commitittee. and which were printed Friday Evening in The Tikes, -. , He said, "The Times not enly printed correctly what information it had received from me, but I can say further that no fewer than 30 per cent of the business men whom our soliciting committee visited turned the committee down, and in some instances they were insulted. I am glad to say . that The Times has been eminently fair to our cause to help make the picnic a success."

The simplicity of Moody, the eunciation of Bryan, the logic of Beecher, interwoven with a beautiful Christian character, are the ingredients of success with Charles Reign Scoville, prince of evanglists, after the dedicatory n of evangelists.' After the dedicatory sermons at the Christian church the last vestage of wonderment at his unsqualed records were banished from the minds of all who heard, and f-ey were enamored. The audiences yesterday were swayed with each of his simple illustrations, pointed terse truths and sweeps of imagination. He does not stoop to sensationalism, he

Charles B. Hahn, the leader of the Boy City movement in Hammond and the man who has done more for the juvenile citizens of that city than any other person, will leave for the west, and the Boy City movement here will be dropped for the lack of funds. Mr. Hahn was in the city last Saturday. He said that he was on his way to Salt Lake City, where he will be engaged during the summer... He also expects to spend part of the winter at Kansas City. Mr. Hahn has just completed the work of promoting the Boy City at Charlevoix among the boys of the Calumet region. Out of 150 boys who were present at Charlevoix fifty came from Hammojid-and vicinity. Boy City was not large this year as last, owing to the fact that it was not sufficiently advertised. May Manage City.
1 It is possible that Hahn will take
the entire management of the Charlevoix Boy City next year. It is understood that the management of the city this year was not satisfactory. The Hammond boys returned from Boy City Saturday and report that they had a most excellent time. There were so many of the boys from this locality that it made it all the more pleasant for those who had the opportunity to go . The Hammond and East Chicago boys were successful in being elected to some of the most important of the city offices. This was in recognition of their enterprise in bringing such a large delegation. The fact that Chas. Hahn will not be in Hammond this winter is a matter of regret to the people of this city. He was employed during the past year by the Men's club of Hammond and the work he has done in Inculcating in the minds of the boys new "and higher ideals has been invaluable to the community.

In many places where local troubles were in the way of success the organiaztion" parties made such headway last week in smoothing out matters and putting; things in better shape. nd when it' came to the main question of whether" tbe republicans will stand together on national issues, the reports show that there is much less division now than there was a short time ago.
