The Calumet avenue bridge was secured from the county council because the downtown business man joined the Calumet avenue booster in a demand for it. It was the Lake County Times that hammered away on the county commissioners for years until finally $2:5,ln0 was spent for th" extension of Calumet avenue through tlv lake, an improvement which has meant more to the ea.-t side than any that has ever b- en undertaken. It was a committee composed of downtown business men tln well as Calumet av enue boosters v. ho went to Flas' Chicago and interceded for the Eleventh ward in the matter of tlie improvement of Oaium.t avenue by the county. Yes. and it was the downtown interests who made 'he principal arguments for this irtnroyem"nt. ' What Continued Opposition Means. Xow it has simply come to this. The rest of the city has aided the east side in everything it has undertaken. The. cast side has been ungrateful, suspicious, seitish. greedy and unpatriotic in it? stand on this proposition. If the east, side persists in its opposition to (he measures 0f transportation relief that' are sought by the government in the interests of the .standard Steel Car Company and which afford so much general relief for the city at large, the old friends of the east sldo will desert them and from then on nor a single general improvernPnj wj;j r.? started on the east side that -will not encounter the active opposition of a disgusted city a city that lost its wartime opportunity through the selfish bickering of a handful of wilful east siders. bdsro his mw The beard of public works plans signing the street car franchise at their next regular meeting. Wednesday morning, it was stated today. The .franchise com mittee of the city council consisting of f I I.ouis Heckelman. chairman; Frank Martin and Patrick Reiliey. unanimously recommend-1 adoption of the franchise at a special meeting Saturday evening. The board is awaiting answer to a telegram sent to the Pepartrnent of Labor at Washington asking w he-re it makes any difference whether the street car extension is built on Columbia avenue or Calumet avenue.

The Times requests that the residents of Hammond co-operate in this work by courteously receiving the rourvilmeri a nd giving all the incrma t ion desired.

Such canvas can be !-. ughl ready made in su'Mble sues for racks, nt reasonable prices. If such canvasses are two or three feet larger, each way than the racks hey can also be used to over loads r.f bundles in case of storm Haiti threshing outfit should have a good canvass large ononu-h to catch all liie. grain that fulls on cither side of the separator and vvnat may leak out of cyclinder.

! PIKES RECORD MEAT PURCHASE rSPKciAj. To The Timf.s.1 CHICAGO. July 22. The l;:rg-st single crder for bacon end canned meats U. Hi- history of the world :9,.ro.0.0.Hi pounds of baron and 134 fiOO.000 pounds of canned meat has Just been placed by the quartermasters department, V. is. A., for the American array overseas Ivxuis F. Swift, In commenting on this today, said the order will take the bacon, from approximately i.or.o.QOO hogs and if other work were tlropped to rroduce it it would be equivalent to th total lacori production of the live largest Chicago packers for nearly rive weeks. However, six months will laps-; before il-livery is to be completed. Mr. Swift said: "At the current pricey cn the day, last week, when the purchase was made, the packers would pay the live stock producers about J80,f'00.O0O for t lie necessary hogs and over 50.0fi0.000 for about I'OO.ooo rattle required. "The cattle will est us twice as much and the hogs two and one-half times as mudi as in the pre-war period. "The whole order will be made up before the f.rst of the year, despite the fact that, even before this purchase, or.e-fourth of the packers" facilities have been devoted to tilling military demanda. ' In order to get out the canned goods the packers will find it necessary to employ night and day shifts of earners. Notwithstanding" the fact that the products are being rushed forward thus hurriedly, not a single complaint has been received on meats delivered to the armies abroad. "The five packers are now killing about 360,000 hogs weekly to keep abreast tf material and domestic needs. tois7 July 2. American Beet Sugar Amertcan Car Fdry. Anaconda .
