On Thursday he was found two Belief north ef Dyer. Our marshal was notified to get hhn.

The State Tax Board of Commissioners will be present at a flah dinner to bo g-lven on the lake front Tuesday evening. May 24. The highest tax body In the State of Indiana has expressed its desire to do honor to James Clements, assessor of North Township, at the conclusion of the assessment Just accomplished 1n Indiana. Recently, when the Indiana legislature In a body visited Lake County, one

of their committee visited tht offices

of Assessor i"lements to examine Into the new system which he had prepared, and which was about to be installed In North Township. This system, put in operation March yi. has proven In practice to be all that was claimed for It In theory, and it no doubt will soon be adopted by the state authorities for general use. In the operation of this system this year, one Innovation introduced by Mr. Clements has proven exceedingly wise and popular the woman assessor. ,

and Hammond will soon know that it has reason to appreciate the conscientious work of the women deputies this year. Th all-around SQUARE DEAL has come nearer accomplishment this year than ever before. And the benefit

from the careful work of the women Is not In higher assessments, but In the addition of many hundreds to the TAX DUPLICATE who have heretofore escaped their Just share of the burden of taxation. "While the assessments on the whole are smaller than last year, the greater number will help decrease the deficiency which was expected because of the drastic deflation of war time values. The Spring: assessment period Is now ended, and Mr. Clements has invited his corps of 50 deputies to take FISH DINNER with him at the GENEVA HOUSE. Robertsdale, next Tuesday night. He says the State Tax Board Is going to face the LIVEST bunch In the taxing business In the whole state. And if

The women have made up in hard they FJNJOT dishing out Information work what they lacked In experience, this Is going to be the most enjoyable

dinner of their lives.

In the Spring of 1922 the new tax LAW provides that all real estate, land

and Improvements, shall be re-valued. Plans are now being perfected In the

assessor's office to make that assess

ment as near an equal standard as human irgenuity can devise.

The human element Is very large In the assessor'3 machinery, and he hopes to get It so nearly uniform by next Spring that none will have reason to complain of discrimination. A pink sheet will bo given to every property owner showing the value of his property as Judged by the assessor. If this figure In any Instance is not the true alue, an opportunity will be given to rectify the error before the assessment is certified for record on tho Auditor's books at Crown Point. The tax paying public in the aggregate are honest and desire to assume their fair share of the expense of government, but they want their neighbor's property to be put In for assessment at tho same standard of value us their own.

What Makes Ice Cream Good There are many element? that enter Into the manufacture of Ice Cre.m. the ommteion of any one of which would perhaps cause failure sooner or later. Fundamentally, good cream furnishes the foundation; the process of manufacture Into ice crem furnishes the superstructure. It would require a book to familiarize the public with thi different methods wo employ hi producing the "Velvet Lrand" lee Cream. We welcome the Inspection of those interested in knowing more of "Velvet Brand" and It will be our pleasure to show you what we believe to be one of the finest equipped Ice cream plsnts In the United States.

To Dealers The Hammond Dairy Ice Cream Company is prepared to supply you with Velvet Brand Ice Cream on short notice. A phone call will bringour truck to your door immediately; let us cooperate with you In a cfMTipleto distribution of "Velvet Brand" Brik Ice Cream.

Velvet Brand Ice Cream Preferred by Most People

Tis said if you make a product a little better than somebody else, even though you live in some remote spot in the forest, the world will make tracks to your door. That's the story in a nut&ell of the great demand for Velvet Brand Brick Ice Cream; it's preferred because the quality is there. You can tell Velvet Brand in the very first taste ; whatever the flavor may be. there is that characteristic velvety, refreshing and delicious something that is found only in this cream.

A comparison of our methods of manufacture with the methods of others in the Chicago territory, a comparison of the products used, and the final comparison of taste will furnish you with conclusive evidence of Velvet Brand superiority. The cream comes from our own personally supervised Dairy Farms and always measures up to a fixed standard of quality; it passes through a thorough process of pasteurization, emulsification and sterilization producing a safe, delicious and nutritious food for baby as well as older ones.

When you order cream tomorrow, don't say "Brick" ; specify "Velvet Brand," and get the superior product without any extra cost. If your fountain man hasn't it, he can get it for you.
