EX-SHERIFF CARTER I
LINE FOR CARNEGIE MEDAL Stops Runaway Horse in Peoria, 111., and Gets Sensational Writeup in the Poipers; It Will Make Gov. Marshall Jealous, But What Rubber Boots It? The
Hammond Man wins ame Again.
Ex-Sheriff Fred Carter of Lake i county has been In Peoria only one week and In that time he has con-' Tlnced the people of that city that he Is not only a millionaire but a. hero a well. By the end of the week, when he will have completed his visit, they will believe him to be the Prince of Pllsen. the King of Klllarney, the Mayor of South Hohman street, and any number of minor honors. , The following from a Peoria paper is self-explanatory: "What might have resulted In a serious accident yesterday was nipped In the bud by the bravery of Fred R. Carter, a millionaire brewer of Hammond. "Directly in front of Central park late yesterday afternoon, a horse hitched to a rural mall wagon became frightened at a passing automobile
and started to run away. The driver
lost control of the animal and Jumped from the rig. "An Adams street car happened by
at the time, with the millionaire as a passenger. lie told the conductor to stop the car. Before the ca,r came to a stop, however, Carter removed his coat and made a rush for the horse. "When he grabbed 'the bridle the animal made a lunge Into the crowd of spectators on the sidewalk, but the husk Hoosier held fast and succeeded in taming the beast before any one was hurt "The car was crowded with passengens who watched the dare-devil stunt of Carter. When he boarded the car again he was given an ovation equal to that given a Roman gladiator. After being showered with congratulations an elderly lady on the car wanted his name as she said the act was deserving of a Carnegie medal. Mr. Carter Is a guest at one of the uprlver cottages this week."
Labor Day I Proclamation Issued by Gov. Marshall. Indianapolis, Ind.. 23. Governor Marshall has Issued the following Labor day proclamation: "Whoever sees the shuttle dart across the loom and views the1 wondrous works of modern machinery, whoever hears the complex noises of industrial life, whoever feels the pulsing of the power behind our progress, whoever tastes the ripened fruitage of the field and vine and thinks only of the bratn behind It all, is half made in the world where whole men are needed. The race and all Its hopes will come to naught only when its children are born armless. The designer Is impotent without the builder. Our civilization is ambidextrous and he who does things must be either one hand or the other. Indiana has been wise rnough to remember this anJ by law to provide that the first Monday in September shall be a holiday for labor. Let us this yt-ar keep It gladly not grudgingly; let us keep It in the spirit as well as in the letter; keep it with a vow to deal Justly with and think kindly of those who make life bearable, nay, even beautiful; keep it as our brothers, not our servants birthduy. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the state of Indiana at the capitol in the city of
Indianapolis, the twenty-first day of
August, in the year of our Lord
1912."

A CLEAN PAPER. FIT FOR TOOK CHILDREN TO READ IS THKTMS&
The year 1912-lJ in. the Hammond
public schools promises to mark a new epoch in education. Such enlargements
have been made in the scope of the
work, that the benefits of the system
have been increased manifold, especially in those branches not strictly related
to the three R"s.

policy to keep its readers in touch with
the work in Hammond's splendid school J paratus on the playgrounds.
system, today asked Supt.' C. M. McDaniel for a summary of the improvements to be Introduced this year. The biggest and most important of these is probably the night school, which is to have a regular principal. Closely related to this is the introduction of a vocational director, who in this case will fill the double capacity of night school principal and vocational director. Emphasise Maataal Training. Another forward step to be registered this s-ear Is the introduction of a strictly commercial course of two years, which may be aken by pupils who have finished the eighth grade, but who would not take the high school course and would therefor be compelled to attend a private business school to get a commercial education. Those taking the regular high school course will have an opportunity to take a four years' commercial course, the study course being unchanged in this regard. The domestic science and bench work departments have been materially widened. Whereas last year only the girls
in the Wallace school had the, advantage of the domestic science course for a few months, this popular work is to be introduced in all the schools this year with a view of giving two hours of study to all the girls in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades in all the schools. The same is true of the sewing work for the girls Instead of the seventh and part of the eighth grades having this work, it will be extended so that

!How will your piano be built? How will your paino be built is a very important question for you to consider. It is the puzzle of the whole question as to what you get for your money. There is today, as there always has been, a vast difference in the construction of different pianos. Most pianos are good enough, some are better and a limited few are absolutely best, i What you really get for your money is determined in the factory where your piano is made. Don't forget that today, just as in the past, the STRAUBE PIANO factory is one of the most modern and best equipped factories in the world. If you are offered a piano for less money than the STRAUBE, just make a few comparisons. Consider the design, finish and construction of case, plate, scale, tone qualties and other important features. If some one urges on you a piano at higher price, make the same comparisons and weigh the fact that the STRAUBE system of manufacture enables us to build better and more economically than any maker with inferior facilities possibly can. STRAUBE PIANOS are one price to all with a fair profit, honestly built, honestly priced. When you buy a STRAUBE, you get a piano built in one of the best factories in the industry, by men whose names are unquestioned for business honor. You couldn't ask more, and you needn't get less. You are cordially invited to our factory to inspect our pianos. Start at the lumber piles and follow piano until finished product and judge for yourself.
the work in all the schools. Play Grounds Equipped. Two hours of bench work each week Is outlined this year for the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, whereas last year only the seventh and part of the eighth grades had this advantage. Last year there was but one physical director, this year there will be two. Last year there was not a single ap

every school ground Is well equipped. Last year the Central school bulldlnff was the only one to be equipped with a shower bath, but this vtar the pupils will find two in the allace school and one in the Irving school. Big Irving .School Addition.
A 40,000 addition for the Irving school will be completed by the 1st of
September.
Two music supervisors will work in the schools this year instead of only
the one of last year. The position of primary supervisor,
which it considered a very important
one. is created this year.
The enlargement of the domestic science, the bench work courses, necessitates four teachers for the. former and
two for the latter. During the vacation months Supt. Mc
Daniel - has revised the entire study
course for all the grades with a view of
conforming to the special needs of tTie
various classes. Every Pupil Benefitted.
Altogether the schools are so
equipped with teachers and courses to
give every child the best possible ad-
vantage. Every square foot of area In
every building from the basement to the garrets is being utilized to the best
possible advantage, and work for any school year- was never begun under more favorable auspices, he commercial work in. the high school has been transferred to the Central school building, where a big rooomy class room has been set aside In the auditorium, and the old roooms in the Eder building will be turned over to the department

event of a strike.
Accordingly the situation is being watched very carefully by a large number of residents of Hammond. It Is believed, however. In most quarters that there will be no strike and that the matter will be settled amicably.
Didn't Bother Him. Mayor K. M. Woszczynskl's bondsmen did not make any effort to embarrass him last evening, and the bout of thf 41vekeper8.that he would never preside at the council meeting was not carried out.
