CITY MARKETS NEEDED.

If the workingmen caa get his produce for 20 per cent less than he is

now Davina: for it. the saving would be equivalent to a substantial increase

in his wages. This Is a self-evident fact.

So the problem of making this a community of prosperous, contented workingmen, the problem of making it the best labor market Imaginable Is

the problem of cheap food.

The cost of produce to the consumer Is largely a matter of the cost to

the farmer of marketing hia products. When the farmer gets up at four o'clock in the morning, packs his wagon with vegetables, eggs and butter and then takes, half a day to deliver it to his patrons, it adds at least $2.00

to $5.00 to the cost of the load, for a farmer's time Is worth money in the

summer time. When he can send his boy to the city market with the same

load and have it all sold out by ten o'clock, for cash, it means a great saving, both to the producer and to the consumer. Furthermore, such an institu

tion would make the city a mecca for farmers from all parts of the country

districts and the merchants would profit from their trade.

In Indianapolis and scores of other cities in the United States the city

market is indlspecsible. Every morning housewives of high and low degree

may be seen going to the city market with baskets on their arms to make

the daily purchase of produce. If a city market were to be started it would be necessary for the city to secure a large piece of ground, centrally located, where the farmers could drive in and exhibit their products. The rental of space pays the interest on the investment. . To show how successful this plan works out in other cities the following dispatch from Dos Moines, la., shows how well this nlsif has worked out thtrS: -- ' -"-"" - So great was the success of the municipality of Des Moines as the patron of hucksters and produce venders when it opened a market place on the city hall lawn this morning that Mayor James R. Hanna today started negotiations for an additional lot neat; the city's property. New potatoes were bought for 45c a peck, or $1.75 a bushel, where formerly the price had been $3.00 and $4.00 a bushel. Apples, which had been selling at 25 cents a peck, were sold for 10 and 12 cents. Cucumbers found ready buyers at three for 10 cents, against thj price of 10 cents each which had been prevailing. For nearly four hours the people, men, women and children, swarmed in from every direction and jammed the street in front of the city hall in an effort to get to the wagons.

first entrance into public life was made

in 1896, when he was an unsuccessful candidate for congress. Ten venr

later he was elected mayor of Augusta, being the first Democratic mayor, with a single exception, to be elected in that city In forty years. He was re-elected

three times and was still holding the office when ominated and elected to the

governorship.

JUST AS WELL OFF WITHOUT BOXING.

Mayor John D. Smalley's decision not to sign a license which would

again open up boxing In Hammond meets with the enthusiastic approval of

most of the citizens of the city.

There is nothing harmful In boxing as a sport excepting its following.

That includes 10 per cent of red-blooded men, 30 per cent of tin-horn sports,

10 per cent of real sports, 30 per cent of toughs, bums and barflies, 10 per cent of prize-fighters who can lick anything under the sun, and 10 per cent

of pickpockets.

uouDuess a great many people in Hammond would like to see a good

boxing contest once in a while, but when they are faced with the necessity of associating with a lot of pickpockets, ex-convicts and human scum the

attraction is not very alluring.

The city of Hammond has been too long recovering its good name to

take any chances on that sort of a thing and no one knows this better than

Mayor Smalley. -ft SPEED THE TIME!

attached to it because the United States Steel corporation is going to per

HANK SOME STRADDLER. Hon." Henry Barnhart. the Thirteenth district congressman, stentoriously advised the editors at their national convention to "tell the truth and fear n man." It is painful to recall in this connection that when a local option election was on at Rochester recently, the Honorable Hank's newspaper straddled the question. Muncie Press. We recall one or two other occasions when Uncle Hank Earnhardt quite a straddler as well.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON

allowance for maternity cases.
