DOES IT PAY?

Homer J. Postlewaite a Hammond dealer In office supplies wanted an office girl the other day and inserted an "ad" in THE TIMES. It read: WANTED An office girl; experience not necessary, but must have common sense; not fresh; job is In Hammond and is very soft. Write stating . salary expected, to P. H.. Times. Hammond. What happened? Well, within twenty-four hours of the issue of the paper Postlewaite's desk looked like President Wilson's the day after his inauguration, and letters are still coimng in. S5 replies have been received by him to date. They come from every city and town in the region. The advertiser says he could have had scores of capable girls. Does it pay to advertise in THE TIMES? Ask Mr. Postelwaite. THE HUB (Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Ind., June 9. By actual count, 518 motorcycles and their riders entered the Lake county fair grounds yesterday, to attend the annual picnic given by the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Dealers Association in the vicinity of Chicago. The weather was cold and windy but was termed ideil by the motorcycle riders, whom literally come in swarms. The day at the fair grounds, which is in its height of beauty at this time was most enjoyably spent by the pleasure seekers, whom besides the picnic dinner, devised every method known in filling the day wtth mrry-making. Dancing in Floral Hall, motorcycle races of all kinds and descriptions, fast and slow on the - ideal race- ,oum featured the day's program.' ma the big crowd of motorcyclists all well behaved left last evening perfectly satisfied with the day's outing and with promises to repeat the vntur at Crown Point next year and possibly again this year. Two minor accidents occurred ' during the day, one a spill on the track during the races, in which no one was hurt and the other a tumble on the road by rider and machine in which both came out pretty much the worse for wear. WARMER WEATHER? Weather Man Says Temperature May Rise Today. With the fair weather promised for today the weather man holds out a slender hope that it may grow a little warmer. The temperature will rise slowly, he predicts, while the northeast winds continue. The Calumet region was sixteen degrees be low normal yesterday and the coldest spot in the east central states.

FREE HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS Fre e scholarships for a four years' high school course at All Saints" school have been offered by'the faculty of the institution. The students eligible for these scholarships are those who have completed the eighth grade at AU Saints' school and the adjoining parochial grammar schools. The competitive examinations for these scholarships will take place in the high school department of All Saints' school. June 14, at nine o'clock. MARSH BRIDGE BURNS. A marsh culvert, Just north of Shelby, burned some time last night, and is presumed to have been set on fire by a train. The marsh grasses, of which there is an abundant supply at that place, coupled with the hot weather of the past few days, causes this to be taken as the probable cause for the burning. The last train to come through from the north was the flyer at 1:18. while the berry special and other trains detoured to Monon.' Number 31, j however, commonly known as the paper train, backed up to Hammond and detoured to Shelbyt getting into Rensselaer about 9 o'clock. Nos. 5 and 37. both due at 11:09 and 11:32. respectively, detoured and missed us entirely. No 32, from the south, came as far as Monon and went to Wilders and around on the Krie tracks. Repairs were made so as to permit the south-bound Hoosier limited to get through this afternoon. Rensselaer Republican.

LOSES LIFE

Victim May Be From Gary. Mn Who Figures In Case Has Disappears

Defying a fifty mile an hour gale which swept over Wolf Lake from Lake Michigan Saturday morning, an unknown woman, well dressed and apparently about 30 years old was drowned when a row boat capsized, pitching her and a Roby fisherman by the name of "Curly" into the treacherous waves. Andy Kalfish who was on the lake with a motor boat came to rescue the WEEK WILL TEll STORY STANDING IX THE DEEP SEWER I.EAGIE. Antis .....1,650 Pros 950 Neutral 1.4UU . Our cat's tall having grown to such length that it is an Incumbrance to the cat. shall we cut off the tail or kill the cat? To be direct and less figurative what course will the board of public works takeln thkjna.ttr of - the proponed deep sewer? Friday, the 13th, is the day and 10 o'clock the hour. The visit of antis and pros will, occur a second time with both sides in about the same relation as at the last hearing in May. There is but a shadow of a doubt , in the matter, a mere chance of 100 to 1, that the remonstrance will not be way ahead in the matter of names. ISot Greatly Eserelaed. Frank Demlng of the Chamber of Commerce body, who is leading the forces for the sewer, is out of town today and therefore not actively engaged for the time being. Mac Turner, the architect, is to take a couple of days off, possibly tomorrow and the next. Petitions have been distributed around town, among business men and factory managers, but with the same indifferent result. The law does not provide for petitions for an improvement. Instead it gives the board of public works divine right in the matter. It is the duty of the board to do what it may see fit for the benefit of the community and for that reason every progressive citizen is withholding Judgment until after the fateful Friday, June 13th. What Will They Dot Having gotten itself into a bad mess it is the opinion of many citizens favoring the deep sewer that the board will accept the only alternative, choosing to do right and shame the devil. They will no doubt incur the enmity of a horde of antis. In the minority, but by doing so will save the administration.' The silent majority has signified an intention of remaining silent and has refused to help the board out of the nice predicament it arranged for itself. It Is impossible for the board to listen to the prevailing argument of antis that the sewer be huilded by appraisement. The state legislature has provided that the indebtedness shall not exceed 2 per cent and that method of general assessment be used. "Let the rich pay for our sewer" is a selfish cry that cannot but hurt their cause. Ita a Grand Old Gag. An anti said in the. mass meeting at the Hammond last week that a certain merchant owning $400,000 should .pay for the sewer in proportion to the value of his estate. The fact that he would receive a sewer no better or no worse than the lot owner a block away did not make any difference to the speaker. Just such incongruous arguments are being made dally and winning signatures. A Nervy Trick. Mrs. Edward Brundige of South Hohman street reported to the police this morning that she lost her pocketbook at the Monon depot last night and $5 in money. According to the police blotter a man was seen picking up the pocketbook and turned it over to the ticket office. A short time later another man came up to the ticket office and secured the pocketbook, claiming it belonged to him.' No trace of him has been seen since. CNIOX SCOUT SCRAP.
