BASKET BALL TEJUTS SCHEDULE After many promises and years of patient waiting on the part of the Hammond high school athletes, a fine gymnasium has been completed at the Irving school building which in the future the students will use as a basketball hall. On account of having no place to practice last year the school was forced to give up their attempt to put a first team on the floor. This year prospets for a championship squad looks bright, and with daily - practice work Coach Smith in rounding a fast quintet into shape. In a practice game at the Irving school gym last Tuesday evening, the high school five came out with flying colors. They . easily defeated the Boosters' club by a score of 42 to 21, using part of the second team In the first half. This morning the schedule for the season was announced, and from all appear- . -anees the local team will have a busy season! Dec. 19 Crown Point at Hammond. Jan. Hammond at Whiting. Jan.

POSTOFFICE S RUSHED Packages marked "Do Not Open Till Christmas" are piled high at the postoffice. This shows, says Otto Rabe, assistant postmaster, that the public is not slow to take advantage of & government request, benefitting both the department and the public. The authorities at Washington have asked the public to use the slogan. For aught you know the 60-cent aus pender that Uncle Mike Is sending you this year from Omaha, and the hand made centerpiece that Aunt Bertha is giving your wife will get here before Christmas this time Instead of In the middle of January when you have for gotten all about the Joyous yuletide and It is too late to reciprocate. The reason that suspenders and a centerpiece are specified In the above comes direct from Otto Ttabe, the beforementioned. He is of the opinion that the high cost of llring has modified gift giving to cousins and uncles and aunts, to say nothing of second cousins and grandaunts. "Of course," opines he, "young swains will always buy diamonds as big as marbles for their swethearts and mothers still insist upon getting Johnny a narrow guage railroad with stations, water tanks and Sunday excursions. But the packages .froa aunts to cousins . seem smaller. The Society for the Suppres sion of Useless Christmas Giving may have had something to do with this." GOOD JUDGE OF CHICKENS A noteworthy distinction has been conferred upon the Calumet Poultry association in the securing of Charles V. Keeler, famous fancier, as Judge for the first annual show to be held December 39 and 31 and January 1, 2, 3 and 4. This atmouncement was made today by Willia.m Maglnot, secretary of the association. Entries are beginning to come In from out of town and a big local exhibit is promised. The Hammond show Is offering bigger prlies nd more of them than any other exposition of poultry ii northern Indiana, according to the secretary. 1 Keeler lives at Winamac, where he has a flock of two to three thousand chickens. He has Just returned from Pasadena, Cal., where he acted as judge. He has officiated at poultry Bhows in Chicago and New York.

The appellate court Tuesday refused

to grant a writ of certlorl to make a record In a case complete. The refusal is without an opinion. Certiorari usually are granted, and lawyers have be come used to expecting them as a mat ter of course. s" The record shows that there was a trial of a cause in the Porter superior court in which a verdict of $5,500 was found in favor of Martin S. King and against the Inland Steel Company. On May 28, 1913, the court rendered judg ment against the company on the verdict The company prayed an appeal to the appellate court and got thirty days to file its appeal bond, and on June 27, within that time, it filed Its appeal bond as provided In the granting of the ap peal. Filed. Record. The attorney for the company obtained the record as fully as it had been completed in the trial court, and filed it in the appellate court on August 26, the last day on which it could Investigation was made. Hoffman entered Ms basement to tend to the fires, thus taking the burden off of the women of the house. New .Picture House. The new and handsome home of the movies on Oakley avenue, between State and Sibley streets, built by John Gartner and to be operated by Crowell brothers, musicians, la to open Christmas day. Carpenters are well started upon the finishing under the direction , of Contractor Cox. The mason work ia done and the plasterers are through. The Iron workers are still held, however, erecting the sidewalk canopy which Is to be a feature of the house. The Gartner theater will have as bright a front as is to be found In Hammond. It is a two-story, steel, concrete and . brick structure, erected along the lines of big theater buildings. Call for Stamps Is Good. Mrs. William Lawson, who has conducted the sale Of Red Cross seals in the lobby of the Federal building during the past two days, has found the demand to be bigger than ever, owing to the fact that the seals have become an established charity with which every one Is made more or less familiar by newspaper publicity. Mrs. J. M. Turner, who is in charge of the sale this year being conducted by the Hammond Woman's club, has placed large allotments of seals In stores and factories. In the latter, the call for them Is remarkable. Will Retire from Business. Frledrlchs, who has for years been known to Lake county as "the monument man," will retire from business as soon as he can dispose of a stock of monuments and headstones which he has on hands at his place of business on Calumet avenue at the eastern extremity of Calumet avenue. The place Is for Dale or Friedrlchs will sell his stock separately. New "Movie" Stunt. Manager Van Sickle of the sBiJou Is looking with admiring eyes upon the latest achievement of his operator, Charles Irwin, who he claims is the only on of his trade In Lake county who can dissolve one picture Into another without an assistant. This Is made possible, explains Van Sickle, by the fact that the Bijou has a motor driven machine. HAMMOND MAN TAKENIN CHICAGO Samuel Kotz, claiming his home as Hammond, is being held in custody by the Chicago detective bureau on a charge Of having stolen two postal (savings orders from Oscar Schwab, 294 North Hohman 8tret, about three months ago. One of the postal orders was for fs9 while the Second was for $2. Today the police are making an et fort to locate Oscar Schwab who has moved from his former place of resl dence at 294 'North Hohman street to West Hammond. It has been learned that the government has issued new orders In place of the stolen ones. It has not been learned under what conditions Kots was picked up by the Chicago police. Hunting Season Ends. Indiana's open hunting season for quail ends Saturday mlthout having hardly gotten started. Warm weather wlthaut snow Is not inducing to hun ters. A party of gunmen, Fred Fowler, Joe Humpher and It. H. Scheer returned from a day's sport at Griffith yesterday with twenty-one quail. Ia H. Scheer, the taxidermist, has Just finlBhed mounting the wild cat shot by Frank Holley of Griffith. It ts a work of art. A woman's muff or hat made of Its fur would sell for a wondrous price. Scheer recently mounted a five and a quarter pound big-mouthed black bass in an oval oak, convex glass case with a water scene as the backing. The fish was caught by Jake Ittle of Hobart. High School Wins. The Rooster Club, composed of form er Hammond high school basket ball Btars went down to defeat at the hands of the high school five at the Irving school gymnasium Tuesday evening by a score of 42 to 21. Having Just organised, this was the first ap pearance of the alumni squad on tin floor this Beason and also considering that they have had no practice, they did exceedingly well. The high school used the first an dsecond squad teams in the game. 1 K. L. VanGIlder will manage the

be filed and their "in term" appeal be kept alive under the law. The record filed contains the ruling of the court and the company's bill of exceptions on the instructions, but does not contain the bill of exceptions containing the evidence. The petition for ertiorarl shows that the bill of exceptions containing the

evidence was presented to the trial Judge on August 14, 1913 but that he retained it without acting upon it un til November 11, 1913, when he signed it and It was filed with the clerk of the lower court on November 17. unis case was appealed to the su preme court on the trial court's ruling that the complaint failed to state a cause of action, and the supreme court reversed the lower court and, holding mat tne compiami was simcient, on petition for rehearing overruled some of its former opinions. The trial from which this appeal is prosecuted was on the complaint held good by the supreme Court. Lodge Assemblies The members of Silver Light Hive L. O. T. M. met last evening In the K. of P.

A new organixation has been formed In this city which bids fair to be one of much good and already has a large membership. Under the auspices of the Woman's Study club, those behind the new organisation met at the public 11 brary assembly room recently and formed a society ' to be henceforth styled as the "Crown Point Associa tion for the Prevention and Study of Tuberculosis."

The society is entitled to 75 per cent of the revenue derived lo cally from the sale of the Red Cross seals or stamps and this money will be used to carry on the research and philanthropic work of the local organ! xation. The object of the society is a most worthy one and should be lent ev ery effort on the part of Crown Point citizens in furthering its scope and aiding in its work. The members of the Commercial club enjoyed themselves at the clubrooms last evening with an old-fashioned smoker, the occasion- being a pleasant one to all present. ; The last traces of the tabernacle have been removed and those inter-. ested in the movement are now figur ing on the results, which are said to come up to expectations.

The game resulted in a sweeping victory for Lowell and at no time in the game did Crown Point show themselves a match tor the Low ell quintet. Following is the lineup of the teams: CROWN POINT LOWELL. Forward W. Aulwurm II. Weaver Forward Linton Z. Slsson Guard Allman G. Harden Guard F. BIsselberg L. Kimniet Cente C. Vulmer H. Dohl Weaver and Slsson deserve special mention for their fast floor work as forwards. Dahl deserves special credit for fast center and basket shooting. which was due to the self-sacrifice of the team for individual grandstand playing, and working as one unit in team work. Hayden and Kimmet came In for creditable mention for fast guard work and holding their forwards down to four baskets, and all times Return ing : the ball to Lowell forwards and center. Alwurm , and Linton for the visitors played a very good forward, but their team work was soon broken up by the Lowell guards. Vulmer was outclassed at center by Dahl. but he played a very good defensive game. Allman and Bisselberg as guards, were outcalsaed by Lowell's fast forwards. The score In the first half was 27 to 13 in favor of Lowell. In the last half It was raised to 47 to 24 in Lowell's favor. As a whole both teams deserve praise for their fast work. The next game will be at Lowell Friday night. December 19, with Whiting. Commissioner Nat Brown was in Lowell Tuesday and Informed us that he and the other two county commissioners. Auditor Charles Johnson, Recorder A. H. W. Johnson, County Surveyor and Albert Foster, county councilman, made a trip to Milwaukee, Wis., Wednesday to investigate the cement roads that are being built in that section. They speak In high praise of the roads they saw, but did not express an opinion of the advisability of building them in Lake county at the present time, as they are quite expensive to build, meaning an outlay of $12,000 per mile, but speak as though this kind of road building might be considered for the future. A few miles may be built in Lake county as a test. Mrs. Ed Haskell went to Schneider last Thursday for a visit. ! Mrs. John Love and aons, Virgil and Willie of Schneider, wre visitors here
