All Gary Thrilled People Pray for Sight of Their Seven Miles of Water Front. DISTRICT CAN USE ITS LAKE; GARY CAN'T. Alkali in Soap Bad For the Hair IIS GO. GETS BIG LOAN TODAY I Chicago f ouad the Lake again Sun day. It is evident that the city never again will forget tie laie the won. derful find cf last summer's record hot spell and that each year will bring- increauinff demands for bath, in? facilities. Sunday brought its interesting sights and revelations. It is estimated that over 75,O0O patronized public and private beaches. That is too large a number for strict cleanliness and full health protection. Chicago needs vastly greater bathing facilities. If half the Like front presented bathing facilities it would not be too much, says the Chicago American. So can Hammond use it, so can Whiting, so can East Chicago, but GABY CAN'T. Tha V. S. steel corporation has seen to that. The Mark Manufacturing company has an issue of $6,000,000. three-year 6 per cent secure! gold notes, due June 1, 1910. They are lo yield 6.20. Assets be hind these notes are $20,147, 038. As sets include plants at Evanston, Zanes vilie and thq one under construction at Indiana Harbor. j From the circular: "The new Besse- mer plant is in operation producing in j gots. Part of the rolling- capacity will j go into operation during- the third quar ! ter cf 1D17, the open hearth department during the fourth quarter of this year, and the blast furnace during the first j half of 1D1S. j "Before he final proceeds of this ls 1 sue have been expended, stockholders will have an actual cash investment of approximately $13,500,000 behind these notes." . h Soap should bo used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Host soaps and prepared sham poos contain too niuiih alkali. This drten the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use, Is Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which Is pure and greaseless), and is better luah the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use. One or two tcaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair nnd scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub It In. It makes nn abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt. aanarunr and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair line and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to ma rtage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Adv. w Gary peoplex are thrilled over the possibility of getting a park on their lake front, one perhars of 100 acres. Mayor Johnson's announcement that he would do all in his power to get a beach breathing spot has won the approval not only of Jitee l workers and business men, but their wives and children as -well. Appeal to Stockholders. Gary lias seven miles of lake front, owned by the steel corporation, wliich it has reserved for its use. The park board will negotiate with the directors and stockholders of the entire corpora tion, puttingr up to them the question of the people's right in the matter. One hundred cres will be asked for pur chase. While the park beard has power to condemn land and would be sustained by the "lower and upper courts, because a judicial body would recognize that the people cannot be deprived of their in herent rights to enjoy and possess all the advantages that comes from seven miles of lake coast there isn't the least bit of a disposition to interfere with. the needs of legitimate industry. EXPERTS . GO OVER RECORDS For the past three days, three valua tion experts from the state, tax board at Indianapolis, have been going through the large plants of East Chicago getting a line on valuations so that they might intelligently testify before the board that is to begin its session tomorrow at nine o'clock to review conditions in that city. ' . . These men are mechanical, electric and construction engineers und-.r the employ of the rublic service commis sion. Placing values on properties of corporations is their sole business. This action was taken by the state tax board as a result of the failure of many of the plant managers to give ade quate values before the county board of review. Representatives of the plants and of the city and the chamber of commerce leave tonight for Indianapolis to par ticipate in the hearing tomorrow. E5CHDAGH OBJECTS TO LIKE CBUNTY CENSUS Sends Protest to Provost Marshal-General; Draft Quotas Affected. TIMES BUREAU, AT STATE CAPITAL, INDIANAPOLIS, IND., July IS. Jesse Eschbbach, state conscription agent, yesterday sent a communication to Provost Marshal-General Crowder, at Of all the seven miles of lake coast that the corporation now . owns and from which the people of Gary are barred from seeing it Is known that it has 100 acres oT rrontage it could give to the people. And, it is pointed out what it would lose by selling 100 acres it could make up 10-fcld or even 100 fold as it is constantly filling- up the lake a,nd paying the state $25 an acre, for land that is easily worth $200.

Judge A. A. Bartholomew, .ting specially in the Ported circuit court, at Valparaiso, yesterday afternoon ga :.i judgment for the defendant, Albert K. Carver, Gary attorney, in the suit for divorce instituted by Bernard ne Carv er, member of the Chicago Little The ater. Mrs. Carver is the daughter of Jake Szold. a Gary merchant. ' The trial of the case has been going on ever since June 27. witnesses from Akron, O.; Alexandria, and Windfall, Ind.; Mocomb, kIll. and Kansas City. Mo., having been heard. Tht plaintiff herself was on the stand for three days and the defendant "five, In de tense ? Mrs. Carver charged cruel and in human treatment, and the defense re lied mainly on evidence that the plain tiff had refused to cook or make a home for the defendant and their lit tle child, Rosemary, and that rhe left her home- and returned to the stage in Chicago. , William H. Matthew and Harry P. Sharavsky of Gary represented Mrs. Carver, and former Congressman Ed gar D. Crumpacker of Valparaiso, rep resented the defendant. The court al lowe dno attorney fees for plaintiff's attorneys, an unprecedented thing In a divorce action of such importance. Jmlce'a Finding. Judge Bartholomew said in part: "The only charge in the complaint is cruel and inhuman treatment, and the complaint states definitely what kind of treatment is charged as cruel; what was said and done that consti tuted cruel and inhuman treatment. If the plaintiff recovers fhe must re cover under the allegations of her complaint, and by a fair preponder- i ance of the evidence. j "The plaintiff's evidence, tP.l'en alone, might sustain the allegations rf her complaint, might even got a bit farther than that. If her allegations are sus tained, they constitute cruol an 1 r.; human treatment. ! COST FARMERS OF UNITED STATES MILLIONS By PROF. P. G, HOLDEN. EI-:ns moan wasted labor. It is estimated thtit a man walks eight miles in plowing nn ncro once over. Multiply this by harrowing, cross harrowinsr. nnd cultivating two or three times, and in the end figure that all tins labor has been given to the production, of a crop which Is only two-thirds as large as It vrould have been If It had net been choked by weeds. Weeds cut down the yield, damage the crop, cheapen the product, re duce the profits, rob the .';.?1!, injure stock, reduce land values. Weeds cost tha farmers of the United States mere than H).uoO,000, according to government estimates. There Is great loss from dockage of grain from weed seed. They Lower Land Values. A weedy farm is high at any prica. Inn 1 nust return Interest on Inherit ment. Profits are dependent on rhet lc left after paying production cost. If land produces oily eooiiffn to piy Interest and labor, we criU coon go nut of business. The weed which !s best able ta cope with difficulties Is the weed which curvlces. Weeds &re bunduut seeders. A single j-lnnt of shepherd's purse may produce as many as 50,000 seeds ; squirrel tail produces (JO to 2,000; plantain may bear 3,000 per plant; foxtail, from 1,000 to 5,000 seeds; stinkweed, 20,000 seeds; the Rus sian thistle from 100.C0O to 200,000 seeds; one mustard plant, one and one-half million seeds, and so on. Compare these prolific soil rob bers with our food producing plants. Some of the Bad Weeds. 'But there are other weeds milkweed, smartweed, Spanish needle, mus tard, peppermint, tansy, poison hemlock, jirason, morning-glory, ragweed, velvet leaf, purslane, quack grass, wild garlic, Canada thistle, ox-eye daisy, bind weed, orange hawkweed, Johnson grass, sorrel, wild oats, and fifty others, that are common in every state. Weed seeds are spread chiefly by man sowing Impure seed; by scattering weed seeds In feeding hay, straw, screenings, and in manure; by winds, water, and snow; by animals' and birds; by farm machines and railroads; by weeds allowed to flourish in waste places. Weed Remedies. . The problem is how to get rid of weed and keep them out. First, rotate the crops; screen all seed; cultivate frequently and thor oughly; cut the weeds before they go to seed; use another crop; pasture with sheep; and finally keep everlastingly after them. If your wheat field is weedy, seed it to clover and blue grass; mow the annuals and biennials before they seed, pasture with sheep or hogs, to keep down the perennials; follow by a cultivated crop to kill any lingering weeds, and you will have disposed of most varieties. To allow land to go to waste is an economic crime. Use it! Farm it! Grow foodstuffs, not weeds! ummer Now Going On At Marked Reductions Sale is Charles II.

We hope he will be back soon. "Sy" Whitaker stuck him self with a pitchfork on Thursday and had to lay off Friday and Saturday. He is back at work today. Friday and Sat urday the big hay forks kept acting up. The car ran off the track twice and one of the dogs broke, Friday. Saturday the tripping button came off of one of the tracks. After we had changed the fork so that could be fixed the big inch rope was cut by one of the pulleys. The 12-horsepo er tractor, used to pull the hay into the born broke down Fri day evening and we had to use horses to pullit up on Saturday. We don't believe in hoodoos but we are glad the week of Friday the 13th is past and we still on the job. Theodore Leilienthal, Davie's brother. Joined us this morning. He has been working on Ballard's farm for some time. Bernard Szold was in Gary Saturday and Sunday. Hard as It is, the boys like the hay ing better than hoeing corn.
