3 Bathing Suit On Car. Togged out in a bathing suit, partly shut off from full public view by a loose unbuttoned summer coat, a woman walked through the downtown district of Hammond this afternoon. Her destination was evidently the Whiting beach for she boarded an East Chicago car. The conductor saw the revelation and rang up three fares in his nervousness. The passengers all stood ' up. On the street she demoralized traffic, made the Four Corner delegation of weary citizens brace up and take another look. Everybody gave her the once over. A Little spanking.

In the meantime he has disposed of some farm land and a few shares of stock. He returned today from a visit with his daughter Miss Lillian, a student at Notre Dame, who spends her summer at A'lnamac, Ind. Monday evening he will play a final game of rhum, buy cigars and depart. A Beginning:. The Clark hog ranch is to be " the first institution of its kind in the state of Arkansas.

Tho occasion is the fifty-fifth annual county fair which will be held at Crown Point and which is to be continueed for four days and three nights. Realizing that with the growth and spread of attractions generally the management of the fair has aimed to provide a program which shall be one
of distinct merit and originality. Like in past years an effort will be made to make the fair both educational and
entertaining.
Among other things there are to be

once in the afernoon and again in the evening. The stake races will be held
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
The real attraction of the fair will
consist 6f the display of livestock,
poultry, produce and women's handi
work. Thi3 display will be something worth going miles to see, for the fair
is intended to be abroast of the times.
Within the year more attention has been paid to poultry raising and
dairying in Lake county and conse
quently the man who is interested in
such things will find the best along
these lines right at the fair.
Probably the biggest individual attraction aside from the racs will be Buckskin Ben's Famous Wild West

REAPING HARVEST
How would you like to have an in
come of a dollar an hour on one single
nvestment? Yes?
That is approximately what the
Lake County Oil company's six wells in Oklahoma are producing at the present time with a flow of 1.500 barrels per twenty-four hours. Recently
the price of crude oil Jumped from 88
to 98 cents a barrel and at this rate
the members of the company will be
able to keep the wolf from the door.
next winter.
Recently the Lake County Ooil com
pany leased Jointly with the Hohman
Oil company of Oklahoma another four :
thousand acre tract near a place known as Borem, acquiring a fourth interest in this oil prpperty.
On the Borem tract It Is figured that
the wells will have to be sunk to a
depth of 2,500 feet, although the Col-
linsville field in which the other six wells are located requires a bore of
less than 1,200. A completed well
costs the company about $2 25 a foot, and this is practically the only overhead expense. The oil Is piped direct
ly into huge tanks nearby, these tanks being owned by the Texas OH company, which buys all the Lake County Oil company's output. Former Sheriff Grant is on the Borem ground now supervising the sinking of wells.
As yet there has been no decrease of
the amount of oil flowing from the
gushers, but as soon as they lose their natural force, pumps will be set to going .which naturally will make the production a trifle more expentlva.

estimated to be $260,000. The story of his remarkable experiences reada like

was seized with th wanderlust. Ha had an idea that he could double or
treble that $10,000 In a year or two and he cast about to see where he could invest It to bring In th quickest returns.
Just about that time there waa an
announcement that a group of New York capitalists were to start a new city in Texas to bo known as Freeport.
It was to be located on the Lasos river.
