Mayor Hanna of Des Moines Politicians Over State Ad-

Premier Public Market City in Times Tells of City Market Plan; Cities of Region Interested.

A Splendid Address. In view of tlae fact that Hammond opens her public market today and that other Calumet region cities plan these modern necessities THE TIMES has secured the splendid address of Mayor James R. Hanna of Des Moines, la., on the city market problem, delivered at Indiana Harbor yesterday before the Indiana Federated Commercial Clubs.

mit That Hundreds of Thousands of Democrats and Republicans Have Net Registered.

The Mammond public market will be a success. Today was the opening day and it was remarkable in many respects From nil ends of the, city women came with market ba.sk yet s. and shopping 1 its to buy directly from the farmer. It was estimated that by eie;ht o'clock this morning fully three, hundred shopj -is had come to th market place which is located in the rear of the city ill. V.ut the farmers, whose presence and products ar.' necessary to make the k t a success, were reluctant about corning into the market. It was just a natural hesitation to enter into a new venture, but those who did come were delighted and promised to return with loads of products. There were other farmers on the si-erie who came empty handed, and aili itted that they had come to see how . the people were turning out, and that next week, they too would be in with loads of stuff. Those who did come In had limited supplies fearing that they .would have to take their goods home leain. but the scores of eager shoppers

convinced them that next week they can come in confident of seJiinfr out. All I 1 .i to Market. The class of shoppers who turned out, shows that the best people In tha city would support the narket. Really the remarkable thing- about the market was that many of the shoppers were of the 1 ndependent claFS, who see an. opportunity to buy the very freshest jjoods and things which can not ba bought in the store.

"I expect to come to the market every day that it is open." said Mrs. J. M. Turner, a prominent member of the Hammond Woman's club. "I am goiny to do all 1 can to eneouraere It." Mrs. Turner was particularly pleased with a purchase of ca rrot s tha t she made and which she carried homo in her shopping bag. Mrs. Or. .man. wife of Dr. II. C. Groman. came to the market in search for fresh country e?gs. She said she had pleasant memories of KOingr to markets in other cities, and her little baby in the cab enjoys the trip as much as the t Continue J on iag 5.)

A city market Is a sociological institution. It Is Intimately related to the whole Industrial and economic problem of city life. A market place successfully conducted has the double effect of increasing the wattes of the man that works. In that It enables him to buy more of the necessities of life for the same or even less money, and of lowering the cost of production to the manufacturer in that he may secure better fed and more contented labor at the same or even a less wage scale. It has the further beneficent effect of bettering the conditions of the poor and the unfortunate in many community in that It enables them to secure larpe quantities of pood, wholesome food at small price. Careful students

of soclologdca 1 matters assert that It Is impossible for ar.y real slum district to exist alongside of a free, open market. This becomes apparent when any one notes the actual experience on a market that is properly safeguarded. Double the quantity of vegetables that might well form the larger part of a wholesame diet for any family may be secured at a market at most any hour, and particularly durine: the closing minutes of a market still more frenerouh quantities of food may be obtained, for prices that are but a fraction of what would obtain at stores were there no such competition as the market place brintcs. It is also the observation of deep students of soci o i matters that the whole character, the moral and

physical well-beinc of a people
