GOPHERS WILL SPEND $385,000 FOR NEW FOOT BALL STADIUM

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. Feb. 10. The University of Minnesota is going to spend approximately $S5,000 on a new football stadium. The stadium will b modeled on the plan of the Tile bowl, and will bae a sealing capacity between 40.000 and 60.019. The students want it on present Northrop field, while pome Minnesota heads want it moved out to the farm school, away from the campus, and an inconvenient place. Instead of the university paying for it. the athletic, association will sell lif.j sea's to prominent members of the alumni, to be sold at r,y price that the alumnus cares to pay. To start with, the Gopher school has about $100,000 surplus :n the treasury.

.Records

The only PERMANENT additions to the population of Hammond will come through PROVIDING THE HOUSING to take care of workers. Factories may be located here, but if the workers live elsewhere, spend their wages in South Chicago, Englewood and Hyde Park, the benefits from this industrial development will be LONG DEFERRED.

Everybody Should Encourage House Construction.

If Hammond could build 1,000 houses in 1920 there would be added to the population of the city 5,000 in a single year. THINK WHAT THIS MEANS. 1 . Every Subdivided Lot in Hammond south of the river M ould be improved. 2. Every merchant would have 1,000 more families to feed and clothe. 3. Building Material Men. Hardware Merchants, Tinners and Plumbers would be busy. 4. Every Building Tradesman would be assured of Uninterrupted Work at High Wages. 5. Banks and Building and Loan Associations would have a Local Market for Money.

Ignore the High Cost Bogey.

There is every indication that the high cost bogey will be ignored by builder and buyer. THE LOCAL DEMAND FOR HOUSING WILL NOT BE DENNIED, NO MATTER WHAT THE COST.

Ample Loans Will Be Available.

BANKS MUST BE CONSISTENT. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO CURTAIL LOANS ON HOUSES BECAUSE THEY COST 50 PER CENNT MORE TODAY THAN BEFORE THE WAR ANY MORE THAN THEY WOULD CURTAIL THE CREDIT OF MERCHANTS WHOSE STOCK OF COTTON GOODS COST THREE TIMES PRE-WAR PRICES; THE GROCER WHOSE SUGAR COSTS FOUR TIMES PREWAR PPICES, WHOSE BUTTER SELLS FOR 75 CENTS. WHOSE CANNED GOODS IS UP 100 PER CENT: THE SHOE DEALER WHOSE STOCK IS PRICED TWO OR THREE TIMES WHAT IT WAS FOUR YEARS AGO IS ALL ABLE TO BORROW AS MUCH AS EVER ON HIS INVENTORY.

Banks Must Encourage the Great Building Industry. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of Hammond money have gone into Gary, East Chicago and other outside loans because they could not be placed here. A 60 per cent Hammond loan is a safer proposition than a 50 per cent Gary loan and Hammond financiers know this to be true. TO DISCOURAGE HAMMOND BUILDING AND THEN LOAN HUNNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON BUILDINGS IN GARY DEPRIVES THIS CITY OF THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR DEVELOPMENT DUE TO ITS FINANCIAL STRENGTH.

Building and Loans Prosper DISCOURAGE BUILDING, AND YOU DEPRIVE BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS OF AN OUTLET FOR THEIR MONEY. Those who arc close to the money market know that certain associations have had a hard time to place their money. Some have partially abandoned the weekly payment plan, upon which the whole theory of building and loans are based, and have resorted to making straight loans for seven per cent and a commission, making the cost 8 per cent. If Hammond borrowers won't take this money at these terms it means that THE WEEKLY SAVINGS OF HAMMOND PEOPLE MUST GO TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEIGHBORING CITIES. The mutual idea of building and loans is thereby partially abandoned. All associations have had to advertise recently to get their money out. Must Retain Our Sanity. OF COURSE PROFITEERING IN MATERIALS, UNREASONABLE PROFITS ON VACANNT REAL ESTATE OR A CURTAILMENT OF PRODUCTION BY UNION LABOR RESULTING IN A DISHONEST DAY'S WORK FOR AN INCREASED DAY'S PAY. WILL CERTAINLY REACT AGAINST THOSE RESPONSIBLE AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. FOR LONG, BY THE COMMUNITY. Industrial Development Is Stupendous. THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS HAVE SEEN THE GREATEST INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT HAMMOND EVER KNEW. Half a dozen industries have located here that will employ thousands of men. If these men can be housed Hammond will have the first REAL BOOM in its history.

A. M. Turner Says Housing Is Vital.

As proof of the fact that there is to be no hostility on the part of the banking interests of the city to rational home building we are permitted to quote A. M. Turner, President of the First National Bank, as follows: "In locating the La Salle Steel Company in Hammond, a concern which employs 1,000 men, our greatest obstacle was a lack of housing. Hammond secured this plant in competition with Waukegan, Joliet, East Chicago and Gary. Waukegan and Joliet outshone us in housing, but we were better off than East Chicago and Gary. A lack of houses was all that prevented Hammond from making a hundred per cent showing in the five things necessary for an ideal industrial city; namely. Labor Conditions, Railway Facilities, Passenger Transportation, Topography and Housing." Get Back of Your Homebuilders. A SCORE OF MEN, LONG ON COURAGE. BUT SHORT ON CAPITAL. HAVE BEEN THE BACKBONE OF THE HOUSE BUILDING GAME IN HAMMOND FOR YEARS. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN PROFITEERING OR THEIR PERSONAL FORTUNES WOULD INDICATE IT. YOU OWE IT TO THESE MEN TO BACK THEM UP FINANCIALLY AND MORALLY. LET 1920 BE THE YEAR OF THE BIG BUILDING BOOM.
