HIS "POULTRY FOOD" WAS TOO STROIIG A man who appeared to be more or less demented, made ; the rounds of East Chicago yesterday, calling at many homes in whose back' yards chicken houses were to be seen. His mission : was to sell the owners of fowls a food wh-lch he declared in all seriousness would insure' the" laying of two eggs a day on the part of all reasonably industrious hens. The food was also guaranteed to increase the size of the hen fruit to half again its normal proportions." The man exhibited samples of the "poultry food" which those who saw declared resembled a mixture of sawdust and fine binders. He did not seem to be the usual "fa'ke" agent as he did not ask for money. He merely wanted the names of prospective purchasers and their names and addresses. One or two - of whom he approached with his proposition had a notion to turn him over to the police, bu as he seemed harmless they had not the heart to do so. - - A'BUBBLES'1S BACK; NO MORE GRIZZLY Christ Peterson, known to fame as "Bubbles," the iTian,"who introduced the Gary grizzly bear dance here, is back In town after having been at Michigan City, Ind., where, he says he conducted two successful dances. "Bubbles" says he contemplates staying in South Chicago and It is. rumored that a new dance hall Is to be built for him. "Bubbues" declares that he has put a ban on the grizzly bear, turkey trot. Texas trot, rocking horse and all other forms of dancing which incurred the Ire of the police and the public alike last winter. South Chicago Calumet. ' ABB IOC RBAJX2VG TH8 TIMBJI!

MAIL CARRIERS i TURNED DOWN

Mail carriers of Gary who petitioned jjhe Gary common council to get their asistance In the matter of free transportation while in uniform received a turn down last night. While the council or works board has no power to compel traction companies to grant the request Alderman Elglehart asked the companies to grant It in order to facilitate mail delivery. "I will not do it," shouted President 'Gavlt of the Gary and Interurban In a roaring voice In response to the petition. "If they want to ride let them pay a nickel. I have enough passes out now. If there are to be any more free passes it will be for the tired ' workman or the poor servant girl.' I Vice President Wlldermuth of the Gary and Southern said that the char ter of his company prohibited passes. USES TONGS ON FELLOW WORKER Mike GajskI, who works at the sheet mill in the Inland plant, Indiana Harbor, and his helper, George Kish, got I Into an argument yesterday mbr-ning.

DOG PUTS KIBOSH ON ADVENTURE (Continued from Pag L with the police department at onre. They had already found enough bonea to make quite a respectable skeleton, If articulated, and there was not the slightest doubt in George's mind, that murder most foul had been done and the remains burled by the hand. of the slayer. So the boys (started toward the near est house but before they reached this they encountered a stranger. To him they unfolded the story of their find. The man. whose name the boys did not learn, , accompanied the band back to the scene of the bones and even he was Impressed. He doubted that they were human remains, but thought it might be well to notify the police in any event and have an investigation. So in company with the man . the urchins tropped in the direction of the city hall. Before they had gone more than a hundred yards-however, the eye of the man lit on the key to the mys tery. This was none other than a large dog of mongrel breed and non descript form, trotting warily in the direction of the bone yard. The animal had a large bone In its mouth. The band halted and watched the canine as he proceeded straight to the spot they had Just left, laid the bone down and began to dig. The dirt flew o fast that for a while the dog was entirely . obscured. The romance was all taken out of the little adventure, and the boys slunk sheepishly away. The man was inclined to give the boys the laugh, but when they pointed out to

HARBOR

him the fact that he was as much Im

pressed as they were before the dog made his apearance he cut the laugh short and made a quick getaway. MONCTON WELCOMES GOVERNOR-GENERAL. Moncton, N. D., July 27.
