Apples are so plentiful in south Hobart township that farmers who have them can't Induce their neighbors to come and talte tho luscious fruit away. Thtisi-who haul them into the stores at Hobart sell them at low prices and the Hobart merchants can't get rid of them at 10 cents a peck. Cost Much In Gary. Yet hi Gary cooking applrs are listed at 25 cents a petk and eating apples at 40 and &0 cents a peck. And they are scarce at that.

Stories of the bountiful apple crop

of Hobart township are told by William Krause of the Stommel General

Store of Hobart, who came up to the

north end of the county lr.st night.

Mr, Krause said that Hobart's fame

as an egg shipping center has waned because the farmer of eastern Lake county and western Porter county are either shipping or bringing the hen

fruit into Gary. He stated that th Gary and lnterurban is rendering a valuable service to the farmers by hauling their milk and produce into Gary.

ASYLUM

Plans are now on foot for the establishment of an orphan asylum and home for the friendless in Calumet, otherwise known as Oklahoma.

The Institution will be under the supervision of the Carmelite order of

nuns who work altogether among the poor, nursing their sick and caring for their helpless, and doing everything In their power to elevate them to a higher standard of morality and of live

lihood.

Already about a score of nuns, most

of whom are from Bremen, Germany, are In Calumet where Judge Walter J.

Riley has given them the use of two

of the new cottages recently built by him in Grasselli avenue, to occupy, un

til such time as they are prepared to make the necesnary arrangements for

their percinent location.

A number arrived last month, and

still others eanvs last night, and more

are expected today, the last named be

ing Italian nuns.

The mother home of the order seek

ing to locate here, for this country Is in Milwaukee, but many of the nuns who are now on the ground, are re

cent arrivals from Germany, having

never been in this country before.

They are all of them linguists of unusual acompllahments, some of them speaking as many as eleven languages.

Herein lies much of their power for good cosmopolitan centers, where many nationalities are represented.

they being thus enabled to converse

with all races In their native tongues.:

The stie and location of the pro

posed home has not' yet been fully determined upon, although it Is un

doubtedly to be built somewhere In Calumet. The sisters first came to

Father George Lauer, who turned them

over to Judge Riley for advice. It Is their intention to purchase ten lots in the heart of the locality where they can be of the greatest service. Father

Lauer, in view of the fact that there was a large foreign element already !n

Calumet, and that the Baldwin Loco

motive works la about to bring to the

same vicinity a great number of new

inhabitants of the foreign races among whom the sisters do most of their work, thought as did the sisters themselves that Calumet was the logical place for their home, and on consulting with Judge Riley the latter placed the houses just buia by him, at the disposal of the nuns; Judge Riley wished them to be enabled to take ample time before deciding upon where they would purchase a building site, to consult with all the priests of the Twin Cities, and be sure that they were getting a sitt best adapted to their needs, and the most conveniently located for all their purposes. The need of such an institution as that proposed by the sisterhood has long been a crying one in this locality and the movement will be watched with a great deal of Interest by cltlsens of the community. The nuns themselves are profllclent in planning for their structure and already have a number of drafts drawn by themselves, showing various ways in which thn home could be built to meet their needs. This will be the first home of the kind in this region.
