A petition will be presented to the commissioners next week asking them to put in a smoke consumer at the county heating plant.

The Rensselaer High School re cently wanted the Hammond High School to participate in an oratorical contest but the Lyceum decided not to accept the invitation on account of the distance between the two places The Hammond High School should not let distance worry it, because other high schools go farther to enter athletic contests and why not oratorical? Hammond would be proud to help its young orators to enter in- i to a contest of this nature at Rensse- | laer.—Hammond News. Again the heating apparatus at the school houses failed to stand the test of the severe weather this week and a number of rooms had to be dismissed. It is probable that this trouble would not have occurred if the contractors had followed the specifications when installing the system. We understand the contractors have not yet been paid in full and they should receive no more pay until they have fulfilled their contract by making the system work satisfactory, as required in the contract. Dr. Kay’s Lung Balm for bronchitis.
