The merchants are very enthusiastic over the prospects for a big Christmas trade. They think business conditions are much better than they were and that the outlook is bright. "While some of nir industries are not doing much at the present time, there are other things that make up for it. For instance, we have a large trade from the country. The farmers have lots of money this year and they are coming to Hammond to spend it," said one today, "The Gary & Interurban line is doing wonders for us. We have the data to show that we average 25 customers a day who come in from Gary and Tolleston to make purchases In our stores." "Then the smaller Industries of the city have been doing well, and the men who arc. employed in them are prosperous. I believe that the Christmas trade will be bigger than ever this year and we will make preparations accordingly."

Cooks Better GREETS SLE troduced Mr. Chapin and his program began at 815 o'clock. From the first Mr. Chapin, in co.stume and makeup as Abraham Lincoln, had the audience withhim and they remained intensely interested during the four acts of his wonderful character drama 'Lincoln." The play deals with life in the White House, and Is exceedingly realistic. The play is admirably wriUen and the acting of Mr. Chapin was splendid. The style, appearance and mannerisms were true to Lincoln, and people were made to appreciate more than ever the wit, good humor, the unselfish patriotism, the annoyances and difficulties of his position and the burdens he carried during his presidency. .Mr. Chapin acted with such dignity and showed such natural humor that people felt keenly the wonderful, personality of Lincoln.' The humor and heroism of the man were portrayed with feeling. Last evening's entertainment was one of the best that has ever been given in Hammond. The audience showed its appreciation last evening in frequent outbursts of applause. ber during his five years' residence in Hammond. Friends and fellow workmen in the Lion store, where he was employed for a number of years as manager of the clothing departmomt. are planning to attend the services at the church and at the grave in St. Joseph's cemetery.
