SHOWER HELPS ALITTLE BIT The shower of last nighr. came as a welcome relief to the thousands of people who were suffering from the heat in the cities of Lake county. The shower was followed by a reduction of temperature that afforded considerable relief. However, the humidity was so great that what temperature there was I proved to be doubly oppressive. It Is T expected that there will be further reductions of temperature that will relieve the situation. The rains will be welcome to the farmers in the county. , While no drought prevailed the rain will help the crops considerably. It seems that showers were general over Lake and Porter counties. HOT WEATHER HURTS BUSINESS The hot weather brought business to practically a standstill during the past week. Only absolute necessities were purchased in the stores and shopping was avoided. It is expected that a return of moderate weather will result in a great increase of business for the merchants. The dealers in soft drinks have been the only ones to reap a harvest. Tons of ice cream have been sold in the past two weeks. Some of the factories over the city were practically compelled to suspend operations. The heat was so oppressive that it was dangerous for the employes to exert themselves. It is expected that if the weather continues to moderate that by next week normal conditions will be restored in the city. rk

The directors of the American Steel Foundries company took no action today upon the regular quarterly dividend of 1 per cent Secretary Patterson made the following statement: "On May 14. 1910, the first quarterly dividend of l'i per cent was paid on the readjusted corporate capital stock of the company. Subsequently quarterly dividends were paid up to and including May 15, of this year, making five in all. When dividends were begun your board of directors hoped and expected the business and earnings of the company would be such as to warrant continued and uninterrupted payments, but as everyone knows within the past year the railroads of the country have purchased very little equipment with the result that after filling contracts in hand the first of the year your company has been obliged largely to curtail its operations. As a consequence dividends must be discontinued until conditions improve. The company, its organization and all its plants are in splendid condition to take advantage of any improvement in business."

OLD SOL STARTS MUTINY IN CLUB Headed by Captain Norton Members Come Near Scuttling the Ship.

Even after he went to bed Old Sol got in his good work last evening and started a mutiny in the Gary Commercial club. The" ringleader was no other than President H. S. Norton. Pursuant to their regular custom the members of the club gathered at the Gary hotel last night for their regular meeting. But no one went inside It was too hot. Everybody rebelled and the officers headed the rebellion. So instead of holding the meeting the members sat on the hotel veranda discussing cool things. It is probable that the president may issue a call for a special meeting. But it will not be on a hot night. Old Sol will have to walk the plank. Next week will witness the formal opening of the Commercial club. The festivities will occupy two days. . HEARD BY RUBE Mayor Schlieker and Mayor Knotts to each other: "Congratulations." If Judge Huber don't speak to you these days, its because he's the only Gary republican that got an Invitation to the Taft banquet. It's funny how many folks you see in automobiles that look like they ought t' be walkin'. Miss Fawn Lippincut will spend th' fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh at Morgantown, where she has been, called t' hook her niece's back durin' th' absence of her husband, says Abe Martin.

Secrets of Good Advertising Concentration HI! Important L 'An eight-inch advertisement in one newspaper will bring much bigger results than a two-inch advertisement in four newspapers. Don't skip around from one newspaper to another. Success in advertising cones from hammering away at the same crowd. Pick out the newspaper which" has the kind of readers you want for customers, and, then stick. If you want to make an advertisement hit all you need to do is to talk to the reader of the newspaper as you talk across the counter the counter to a customer. Simply talk. That's all Be sincere about it. Let your words ring true. The people will listen. They like it. The fact that your advertisement appears continuously in a reputable newspaper stimulates pnbvlic confidence. Your shop advances step by step in the estimation of thousands of people who may be months in getting around to make their first purchase. Originality may be good, but an advertisement that sells goods, even if copied, ia better.

That when things looked bad for Tom Homer jumped on to him and kept It up until about a week ago when the chances for a conviction looked slight and then he quit printing even the testimony much less the affidavits. That for seven or eight days he has printed none of his usually scorching editorials about the city administration. ' In other words, he saw which way the tide was to turn and he tries to get right. Now he would like to have the city printing again.
