chaos. Like the kaiser vi ho descrtoj j his armies and fled the country when ! ho saw that all was lost. Mr. Wilson , throws up his hands and turns to th

chived little consideration at the hands

of the company in the way oi" betterment of service and up to the present was powerless to force any change. Now the members of the council believe they are in position to bring some sort of agreement from tho street railway company by which they may get something in exchnge for fare increase. It is said that in East Chicago and Whiting there is also strong opposition against permitting the company to increase its fares. Without the increase the officials of the comrany state that it is likely that service will be discontinued as they will be unable to meet the wage increase and the men will refuse to work at the old rate. In case Hammond granted the fare raise while East Chicago or Whiting or both turned the company down, Hammond would simply have service within the city limits white the inter-cay runs would be stopped. Several city officials hold that a twocent increase is too much. With a!l the wage increases the. operating expenses of the company they say will be increased $58,000 according to figures submitted

by the company. Last year the railways I

carried eight muaon passengers. j two cent increase this would bring in JieO.OuO whereas an Increase of one cent would furnish JR0.000. They figure that a penny raise would be enough as the company should be able to care for the $8,000 difference in some manner. At the same time it is pointed out that passenger service will not be as heavy in the next year as it was during the war times so it. will be up to the company to explain a number of matters at the ses-

eion.

Any private person who can prove that he has suffered by violation of the law may recover damages three times as great as sustained, together with the costs of the suit, including attorney fees. The shortage of sugar is beginning to be seriously felt in the state. According to Stanley Wyckoff. who has charge of the distribution of sugar throughout Indiana, at least another week and a half will elapse before the situation is relieved. He has received word that sugar refineries will start working night and day this week. The railroad strike has not seriously affected the food situation although considerable fear was felt here for a time. Fleets of motor trucks were being mobilized for the rurpose of transporting food into the city in ca?e of emergency. The emergency is believed to be passed at this time, however, as .most of tha men have gone back to work.

Mrs. Wilson came to Indiana Harbor two years ago and she and Mr. Wilson were married at the M. E. parsonage by Kev. Elmer Jones. Mrs. Wilson immediately opened with her hushand a flower store which they owned on Cedar street. While in this store it was that Mrs. Wilson endeared herself to the kiddies and their rarents of the great foreign speaking population. It was through their love for Mrs. Wilson that these children asked to attend her Sun

illness sho held her place at the head of her clas in the Methodist Sunday school. Sc;irccr!y anyone in Indiana Harbor will miss her more than her little kiddies.

GARY TO GET FOUR CARLOADS OF FOODSTUFFS

Gary took its first steps to hit ths High Cost of Living a wallop in the nose Saturday when a committee com

posed of John A. Erennan. H. S. Norton, Herbert Francis and Fred Dietrich, president of the Gary labor body, made a trip to Chicago to purchase sugar, meat and canned goods to be put on sale at cost price in the Steel City in the near future. The committee carried credentials from Mayor Hodges and the Gary clearing house association for the purchase of the commodities. They were successful in purchasing a carload of bacon, a carload of assorted meats and two carloads cf assorted canned vegetables from Major O. V. Wilcombe, head of the government store agency in Chicago. As soon as it arrives in Gary it will be placed on sale to the public. A suggestion has been made that the goods

More than 1.000 acres of leases on -which are 15 gas veils with large production. The gas finds a ready market In tha large industrial plants surrounding Ada, and the company u substantial income from this property.

The proceeds of this allotment of capital ?tock will be used as follows :

In the Cement Field

Leases on 100 acres in the hait of the pool. The best well? in this field are within a short distance of our property, which has production upon three sides. In the Cleveland Field Five hundred acres of leases with five producing wells in thp shallow sand. Large areas with many producing wells in the Bartlesvil'e. Layton. Tucker and Skinner sands approach our properties very closely on two sides. This lease has yet to be tested for these deeper sands. Within the very recent pas two gas wells of immense production have been brousht in less than a mile from our property, and a newBartlesville well of very large production has been reported less than 2l3 miles from it. In the Eldorado Field We. have leases on 165 acres, all very close to production in the northeast extension of the Eldorado field. We also hold mortgage liens on 4S0 acres in this field with 17 producing wells, securing an indebtedness to us of $925,000.

1. We shall drill 43 -wells upon our Cleveland properties. This property has been thoroughly proven, over practically its entire area, and we expect from these 40 wells to secure within the next year to IS months a settled production of pore t&an 500 barrels of oil per day. One well on this property has been operated for fifteen years, and is now making ten barrels of oil daily. There is room on this property for more than 100 wells. We expect to develop it to the point where it alone will be worth more than the entire capital stock of the company. 2. We shall drill a test for the deep sands which are found generally through this Cleveland territory. There are four of these sands which bring in wells from 200 barrels to 2,500 barrels. We confidently expect to pick up a fine w-ell from one of these sands 3 We shall drill another well upon the Ada property. We expect this to produce another large gas well as it is in thoroughly proven gas territory, and it will also be made into a deep test for the oil jvool which we are confident is located within this vicinity. 4. We shall drill in our Cement acreage, which is practically proven by the wells upon three sides.

This company has been in operation for more than 2 years. Its present assets are worth from $1,500,000 00 to $2,000,000.00. It has no present indebtedness except some current bills. It has during the past year liquidated over $400,000.00 indebtedness, and has paid $200,000.00 to its stockholders m dividends. It is now paving dividends of 5 per cent quarterly out of its earnings, which are sufficient upon their present basis to maintain this rate of dividend payment. The company is being conservatively operated, and the development for which the proceeds of this allotment of stock will be used is m absolutely pnven territory, with every probability of largely increasing the production of the company, and its income. The net operative income will be used for the payment of dividends. Investment in this stock offers the unusual opportunity of participation in the earnings of a substantial business, at a sound return upon the investment, while it also offers all the speculative opportunities which are inherent in any good oil property. The stock is for sale by the treasurer of the company. It may be purchased for rash or on payments of one-third cash, one-thkd in two months, one-thirdin four months.
