To study the Bible, to store away all possible knowledge, to cultivate accuracy, to deyota the best thought to the work at hand, to comrt the same girl only quicker, to make usefulness to his fellowman, life's chief end and purpose and to cultivate the-pleasantries of life, these are the things that Pr. Scott F. Hershey, the commencement speaker for the 1911 graduating class of the Hammond high school class, satd he would do if he were back in other days, knowing then what he knows today. . '. No more earnetit or practical lecture has ever been hsard by a commencement audience than the one given by the speaker at -the Orpheum last night, and it. was a ilarge and appreciative

audience that listedend to Dr. Hers

me, but I could not see It that way."

HENRY BICKNELl

This is a ronverstalon that took

place "on Ho.hman street last evening between 4 and 6 o'clock between the above named , gentlemen. It occurred

In the .presence of witnesses.

Whether, or not it was a joke re

mains to be seen. Those who heard

it did not seem to think that it wase a

joke and the two well-known Ham

mond men-appeared to be taking th

matter seriously.

Still Looks Queer.

It is such, occurrences as this which

leads a great many people to suspect

that there were . some queer things

about the recent election in the city

council in which the vacancy caused by the retirement of Henry Bicknell was filled. - . .

The rumors will not down. There is

the report of a night Visit on the part of a certain councilman to the residence of one of the candidates for office.

The inside history of the deal by

which Stanton was put over may never

be known. Stanton himself may not know Just how -the trick was turned. But until the whole transaction Is explained the--people of Hammond will be suspicious.

There are peoples In Hammond who

would find it worth while to be able

to control Stanton.. These are the

people who have sought to "put one over." His .attitude on the big questions that are now before the board will be matters of great public Interest.

People of Hammond are saying, "If it

is worth $500 to puf a man on the

board of education when the salary is

only $300 a year,, it must have been

done for some specific purpose. That

purpose will be revealed sooner or later unless the suspicious .of a great, majority of the cltlxens of Hammond are tn-

tlrely unfounded.

Two more boys were called before Judge Lawrence Becker Of. the juvenile court this morning, charged with va
