LIBERTY BOND IS iT GIFT

Chairman W. C. Belman Points Out That It Is Good Investment. Is there any man, woman or child in Hammond so devoid of patriotism, who would at this time refuse to pledge to Uncle Sam a minimum saving of $30 within the next nine months, a savin? which after all is the surest 4 per cent ln-estment ever heard of? The representative gathering of men and women from every section of the city in the Chamber of Commerce last night to start the b'g drive indicates that in Hammond for the next two weeks, "money talks." Three furring- talks were made at the meeting last night, the f.rst by W. C Belman, city chairman of the bond sale committee, the second by Judge V. S. Reiter and the third by Miss Porter of Chicago, who spoke in the, Place of Mrs. Judith LowentV.n. Mrs. O. C. E. Matthies, city chairmen of the "Men workers also spoke briefly on the fact that the federal government in 'Washington looks primarily to the ladies for the promotion of the secnd liberty Loan. The speakers in their tsiks all dwelt on the patriotic necessity of buying liberty bonds to support the government in its unselfish tindertaking to "-naive the world cafe for democracy." It was in the round table discussion for instruction of the campaigners that stress was la:d on the good investment to be had in a Liberty Bond. Chairman Belman, repeatedly impressed his cr.-workers to go out and tell the public that a Liberty Bond is not a gift but nn investment. The talks last night also developed the fact that the various banks of Hammond arl "West Hammond are work:n? harmoniously and in co-opera-lion to promote the Liberty Loan. They have agreed to ' place their clerical fo-ces at the government's disposal 10 handle the bonds without profit to themselves; they have greed to exlend the deferred payments over a period of nine months, and to accept subscriptions from school children in weekly payments of so cent'.

SMALLEY SILLY LIE! i

'The Times acknowledges the receipt ; cr the following: To the Voters of Hammond: I have been informed that the . candidate for mayor on the citizens' ticket with some of his campaign managers have bten circulating the report that I have advised the management of the Standard Steel Car works that they must cease furnishing coal to their employes at a 'ess price than they are compelled to pay for it at retail. Statements of this character are absolutely and unqualifiedly false. I have never talked with the officials of the Standard Steel Car Co. concern. ny the sale of coal to their employes or unon any other subject. I have not even discussed with them their attitude concerning this election. I am particularly in-tei-estod in having the Standard Steel Car works and In fact every other man ufacturing Institution in town who are buving coal in wholesale lots at a. cheaper price than it can be secured for at retail, furnish ccal to their employes if it Js possible for them to do so, and I want now to brand as absolutely false, any statements that have been made tending to convey the idea thnt I have ever, by any act of mine, intimated that the Standard Steel Oar works or any other company should not furnish coal to their employes at the j very cr.eapest price possible and in quantities sufficient to meet their demands.

DIRTY PIECE OF POLITICS A chesp, slanderous and poorly printed circular put out by a local print shop was distributed widely over ihe city today.
