PATRIOTIC SUNDAY IN INDIANAJDN MAY 20 Special rrTnin and Civic Mas MeetInm in All Cities anil Towns. The Executive committee on the Young Men's Christian association war work has issued a call to all ministers and civiiians of Indiana to observe May 20 as "Patriotic Sunday." the ministers to preach special sermons in the morning and the churches to unite in the afternoon in great civic mass meetings, with speeches, songs and martial music. "Old Glory" is to be in evidence everywhere, waving with the British flag and the tri-color of France. It is expected to be a day of the greatest patriotic demonstration since President Wilson issued the call to arms. "Patriotic Sunday" is to be e.pecially marked by the opening of the statewide campaign for the National fund of 3.000,0O0 for the war-work of the Young Men's Christian association. Throughout the state the forces are being weii organized to gather the fund. Since the mor i. to be used in promoting the moral and spiritual, as well as the social and physTcal welfare of the men in the Army and Navy! service, the money-raising effotis to he launched through the churches and civic mass meetings on "Patriotic Sunday."

This Is Red Cross Day In Hammond and the membership campaign of the local chapter of the American Red Cross will reach high tide this evening. AVorkers are out in full force. The membership campaign of the Hammond chapter of the American Red Cross has been a great success and when the final canvass for members is made it appears certain that the goal set by the campaigners will have been reached. Considerable good natured rivalry has arisen between tha various precinct captains and their workers and keen contests are resulting to see which rreclnct captain and which block worker can show the biggest returns. One precinct cnplain promises 90 per cent of his f.n-ire section will bp enrolled in the Red Cross by Saturday night. An

other worker states that he has already ; secured 125 members on one fiie of one j street alone. If this rate of enrollment j could be maintained in every precinct j it would not take long to reach the j goal. 5,000 members, said one worker j tod a v.

"Five Members for Every Man Thn. Enlists" is a slogan that has heen sue gepted and is considered a good one. . Such a membership, it is said, is al solutely necessary, because it will t.ik the efforts of five active members t. care for one man at the front and hi: family at home, when actual warfarbegins. Over 500 have already enlistee from Hammond and West Hammom and by fail the number will probabl: be doubled. Every one is "doing their bit" in thgreat wave of patriotism that is sweep ing over the city. The fart that th Red Cross is the official governmenta means of helping the soldiers and ii fact, the only method by which helj can reach men at" the front makes i necessary for every organization wish ing to assist to affiliate with the na tional organization through the loca chapter.

STATE FOOD DICTATOR ON VISIT TO LAKE COUNTY

The farmers of Lake county and the city gardeners even those who have planted radishes and onions in last year's flower bed are urged by Superintendent McDaniel of the Hammond public schools to attend a mass meeting at the Chamber of Commerce in Hammond Monday evenlg which is to be addressed by Prof. G. 1. Christie, state food dictator. The shortage of farm labor in Indiana has been a subject of consideration at metinss of the Indiana oommittee on the production and conservation of food and at conferences between Governor Goodrich and G. I. Christie, state food director. Following a conference between the two latter men Thursday afternoon, the following statement waa issued by Professor Christie: "The lack of experienced farm laborers in Indiana this summer will make it necessary for the farmer to make the most efficient use of the labor already on the farm. "I5y the use of labor saving methods and devices farmers are finding it possible to greatly reduce the amount of labor required to care for their crops and live stock. Since labor is by far the

largest single cost of operating the ordinary farm, any possiMe means of lessening the labor necessary should be made use of for more economical production. "Among the practical methods by which successful farmers are making their labor more efficient the following are prominent: "1. Organizing the. farm business so as to give an even distribution of labor throughout the year. This usually means keeping considerable live stock. "2. LTsing live stock to harvest crops. '3. Vsing self-feeders for hogs. "4. Operating a fairly large farm business. "5. Having each man drive more horses and larger machines. "6. Keeping machinery in good repair and having a home workshop. "7. Arranging the fields to decrease the amount of turning and to make less traveling necessary between the fields and farmsteads." Mayor John D. Smalley heard Mr. Christie at Indianapolis when he spoke before the Indiana municipal heads, and speaks highly of him. . The mayor urges everyone that can possibly do so. to attend Monday night's meeting.
