Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Robs of Hammond for the second time In two days has seen fit in the columns of a Hammond paper to accuse this paper of lying relative to the letter sent by the governor's office to the prosecuting attorney of Lake county. Ross is quoted as saying last night that the story was- a He, THAT NO SUCH LETTER WAS RECEIVED BY THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEY and that he intends to find out where this story came from, or know the reason why. For a public official Mr. Ross is just a little bit too free In his charges against this paper. WE DO NOT PROPOSE TO LET HIM ACCUSE THIS PAPER OF LYING. It would have been far more seemly for Deputy Ross to have done his investigating before making accusations. The story carried In this paper LAST THURSDAY ABOUT INSTRUCTIONS SENT BY THE GOVERNOR TO THE LAKE COUNTY PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE WAS TRUE, the daily Squeak notwithstanding. The Instructions were received by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Smith at Crown Point and he acted upon them and followed Governor Marshall's Instructions. WHY PROSECUTING ATTORNEY SMITH DID NOT HURRY TO HAMMOND, INFORM ROSS AND CONSULT HIM about the governor's instructions we do not know and care less.
Perhaps Ross will come out in an Interview now and say that Deputy
Prosecutor Smith is lying.
The material point Is that the story carried by this paper Is true and
that henceforth Ross will not be bo ready with his accusations.
: CHANCES FOR THOSE WHO WANT THEM. Gary is offering a lot of opportunities to her ambitious young men and women. The way of those who work, by day and who wish to improve themselves is made easy in the steel city. He who seeks promotion will find the stepB to get it if he only avails himself of the facilities offered. One of the beBt sources of knowledge Is the public library. Its reading rooms are open day and night. Literature of every kind is to be found here. Periodicals and technical journals are there to keep the student apace with the scientific, literary and political progress of the day. To those who work in the mills there is access to the finest engineering library in the state and the books on steel-making are unexcelled. Within a short time the evening schools of the city will begin their classes. Later In the fall the evening instruction will be supplemented by the Y. M. C. A. courses which will be offered as soon as the new club house Is completed.
Gary is unusually equipped to aid the toiler. The opportunity in his who takes it. It is the man who knows how and who can do it that get

This is the time of the year when what is known in sporting vernacular as the "bush league" has the hardest Bledding of its career. Many of them
go to smash early in July and others fall by the wayside in the latter part
of the month. The Northern State League of Indiana is in bad shape. Two
of Its promising members dropped out yesterday and the dissolution of
the entire league Is prophesied.
In this connection, the wonderful showing made by the Northern Indiana
league is astonishing. At the beginning of the season the prediction was made on all sides that the league would be dead after July 4. The fans said "it will never last." The fact remains that the league race is not at
its height yet Interest in the battles wax weekly and that the first year
of the league will be a phenomenal success is assured.
What it will be next year is impossible to predict, but the signs now
point to a marvelous success. BOYS ON THE STREETS AT NIGHT.
Some parents think it Is a mystery that notwithstanding good advice
their boys grow up to be wild and reckless young men. If these boys were taught from infancy that home was the proper place for tnem after dark
rather than prowling around the streets annoying well and sick people alike, much of this mystery might be explained and young men of intelligent minds would be the result. No parent need expect pure morals in a boy
that prowls the streets at night, even if he does go to Sunday school.

LOTS of Lake county people are hav

If this is not available, a lilac or even a gooseberry bush will suffice. Lie full length in a hammock on the shady side, or, if the grass is tall, a hammock is unnecessary. Place the right hand under the back of the head be sure not to place it on the forehead and shift your position so as to keep in the shade.
