3 v ARE FORCED 10 S FLAG Indiana Kaiser-Sympathizers Are Dragged Out of Bed Because Church Refused to Ring Bells Forced to Do Homage to Flag. (Special to The Times.) AURORA, I NT'., June 16. Exciting scenes marked the close of Flag day In Aurora, where a crowd of citizens last night caused, an enforced display of American flags on homes and business places of German sympathizers. At the close of the Flag day celebration, patriotic citizens headed by a committee of determined leaders, marched to the St. John's Evangelical German Lutheran church, where men climbed to the roofs of the church, school building arid parsonage and after securely fastening start poles unfolded American flags to the midnight breeze. The Rev. George J. Fisher, the pastor, was said to be out of the city, and a search was made of his residence, for pictures of the kaiser, but none was found. Men Dragged From Bed. After ringing the church bell, which was not rung during the last four evenings as a reminder to buy Liberty bonds, the crowd marched to the homes of Charles Doepke, a German school teacher; Frederick Knippenberg, a confectioner; Frederick Isselhardt, bookkeeper for the George H. Bishop Saw and Edge Tool Manufacturing Company in Lawrenceburg; William Henschen. a commission merchant; John Vinup, dry goods merchant and member of the board of city council; Charles Dierking, dairyman; Frank Kulmeycr. hardware merchant, and the Stars and Stripes were placed on their buildings. After each man had been dragged from bed or hiding places, he was forced to salute and kiss the American flag. A warning was then given to each not to remove the flag from his home. George W. Goodpaster. chief of police, and his patrolmen were powerless to check the crowd, which was orderly and attempted no violence. The pro-German sympathizers offered io resistance, and some were bo severely frightened that they were unable to, talk. After the object of the crowd had been accomplished it quietly dispersed and all went to their homes. , PUH POLL OF STATE At a conference of state suffrage leaders yesterday at Elkhart, Ind.. in which Mrs. Kate Wood Ray. president of Gary Civl league, took an important part, extensive plans were laid for a' state-wide poll of women voters.

Brings cooling, soothing, comfort to tired, swollen, burning feet. Takes the soreness out of painful corns and callouses and makes the feet feel fine. No foolishness. Ice-mint shrivels up any hard corn, soft corn or toughened callous so that it can be picked out easily with the fingers. It is the real Japanese secret for fine, healthy little feet. PrevcntH foot odors and keeps the sweet and healthy. Try it. It in selling like "wild fire" here. Just ask in any drug store for a small jar of ice-mint which will cost little but will do the work quickly. Ice-Mint acts so gently, so magically that the old fashioned and dangerous method of cutting corns or applying eating plasters seems barbarous. You'll say so yourself.

LANDS BIG CONTRACT A building contract -for 100 new homes In Hammond and without doubt the largest of its class ever landed in this vicinity, was negotiated yesterday between Frank J. Wachewicz and Casper Staub, a prominent Chicago merchant and capitalist. The contract calls for the immediate construction of ten modern bungalows, the aggregate cost being $35,000 and also stipulates that o n completion and sale of the first ten homes, Mr. Wachewlcs is to continue construction of more homes until the entire subdivision of about one hundred lots owned by Mr. Staub is disposed of. The deal is a fortunate one Inasmuch as It not only contributes to a long felt want for homes In this viciinty, but also tjirough it there will be employed a large number of local mechanics of the building trades for some time to come, and proves thf t Chicago capitalists have finally acquired confidence In the city of West Hammond as a field for investments. The subdivision In question Is located just west of State Line street, between Rimbach and Russel streets, and is a very desirable location as it is convenient to all transportation, and within only five minutes walk from the cen-. ter of Hammond's business district. West Hammond is speedily recovering to a healthy growth, and the demand for a better class of homes across the Line is daily Increasing, thanks to the present city administration who aro visibly sparing no efforts in making the little city one of the best residential districts in the vicinity. All the homes under contract are to be constructed to plans already prepared by a Hammond architect which call for the best grade of materials and workmanship, and embody all of . th latest features of a modern bungalow including heat, oak interior trim, built in buffets, and cabinets, tile floors in bath roms, downspouts, etc. Although distinct and modern in design they will' be sold on the easy payment plan, making the purchases of them aavilable t" all home-seekers of moderate means. Mr. Wachewicz has been working untiringly on this proposition, the ne?itiatlons for same having been pend.nc: for over six months.
