LATEST MAN KILLER USED BY THE HUNS
New German machine guru
Thia photo shows the latest man killer invented by the Germans in an
effort to devise something that will halt the advance of the allies and
stave off defeat of the kaiser and his crew. The machine pun is designed
to hurl email shells with great rapidity and is now in use on the western
battle lute.

COMPLAINS TO
MCADOO OF STREET
CAR SERV.CE
August 27. 191S.
Editor Times:
I am sending you a type written let
ter which I have forwarded to Mr. TV.
G. MfAflno. I am a subscriber to the
Lake County Times and am seeking
better transportation In this r-jrion. X
wish you would publish the letter in
your paper. In fact, I think the pub
lic ought to be interested enough in
the letter to eni similar letters to Mr.
McAdoo and If that does not bring re
sults, you should take up a petition
and ask every strip hanger and th
public to sign it. M'e have tried everv
peaceable m-ans with the street car
company, but we still have the game
service, which is a car every once in
a while.
STRAP HANGER
September 7. 191S.
Mr. W. G. McAdoo,
Director Geneal of Railroads,
Bureau of Suggestions and Complaints,
Washington. D. C.
Am sending ycu a letter of sugges
tion and complaint. The complain
relates to transportation facilities In
the Chicago end calumet region. The
Hammond. Whiting and East Chicago
street railway is unable to handle the
increased volume of business owing to
single track and lack of equipment.
A large part of their ecfuipment now
in use Is badly In need of repairs und
break downs result.

THORNTON FIELD
Beside the six wells cf the Southwest
Oil Coiurany that are all producers, the
Futnarn Oil and Refining Co., encounter
ed the oil Builds a. few days ago and also
It Is under-stood, tr.at the Upton Oil and
G01 Company have witnessed the same
encouragement. The Putnam Co., will
make arrangements to shoot their well
within a short time and much activity
Is expected to develcpe In the Uptoo
Thornton field this fall.
Many Companies which have holdings
In the field have been waiting results Ojf
the few companies that are now operat
ing will make arrangements to start de
velopment. The field Is now a proven
field and It la only a matter of a short
time until rigs and derricks will be seen
all ever the field and the Upton-Thornton
field will be one of the most active
fields In the state for the fact that he
sands are now struck at a depth of from
600 to 750 fet and a single crew can
average a well every ten days.
Other companies that are making pr
rar.pemen'9 to stavt drilling are: The
North Cei.lral Oil Co., The Mackwell Oil
and Refining Co., The Wyoming High
Gravity Oil Co., Th Wyoming-Dakota
and otherj.
The fact that the east well cf the
Southwest Co., and the Putnam striok
!ng the sand fit a shallow depth, the
field will get better as they get on lower
ground.
The Southwest have the frame work
rompleted for their refinery and have
some of their machinery on the, ground
and the balance Is expected to arrive at
any time- and the refinery will b operat
ing within the next ten days. Thi Com
pany are taking the necessary steps to
secure a side track which will he but a
few hundred fet from their refinery,
which will be very useful to them and
other companies operating in the field.
From The Upton i"ews Letter.
It is worth while noting the fact
that the first six wells of the
Southwest Oil Company in the
Thornton field are ALL producers.
It is worth while noting, also,
that the field has made good to the
extent - that A REFINERY IS
NOW BEING CONSTRUCTED.
Did you note that a single crew
can average A WELL EVERY
TEN DAYS? With two shifts it
means quick results. Our property
is in this field. Our property is lo
cated right.
Bear in mind that it is a Hammond Company,
managed by Hammond men and they have put their
own money into the enterprise.
The trustees recommend this investment. ;
These men are:
JOS. W. WEIS CALEB K. WHITE
DR. J. T.. CLARK DR. G. D. HELGREN
S. E. DAVIS
YOU KNOW EVERY ONE OF THEM. You
know that your money will be handled economically
and carefully.
' Send in your checks today to the office of the
company payable to the order of JOS. W. WEIS,
TREASURER.
The shares TODAY are fifty cents each fully
paid and non-assessable but they are limited in
number and you should act promptly. Hammond
people are backing these Hammond men in this enter
prise or they know they will be treated on the
square.

has bought and Is operating about 40
auto busses' In and around Hammond
to take care of their employes. The
Sinclair Refining Company, of East
Chicago has a special train on the
Pennsylvania railroad for their employ
es while the rest of us have to look
out for ourselves. Now In 1915 and
for several years prior, we enjoyed
very Rood transportation all through
the p'i;!nn. We had a suburban ser
vice furnished by the N. Y. C. Lines and
trams known a' Lake Shore loop trains.
The fares on these trains were reas
onable until 1 ft 1 6. when fares were ad
vanced from 2.1c to fOc per ride. The
resuH was that patrons could not af
ford to par this raise and began rid
ing the street enrr, and the loop train
were finally taken off on account of
liok o.f patronage. Since that time
truvcl on :tiect oars has about doubled
but the street car company has not
Increased its facilities and passenger
standing on roincrj waiting for cars
only to see cars erovvb-.l nd no rom
for any mre is a common siRht. We
have a single track street car line in
Hammond. Whiting. Kat Chicago and
Indium Harbor. Now 1 would suggest
that those Lake Shore loop trains be
put hack in service together with sub
urban fares (by this latter) I mean a
fare from Chicago to any point
in the Caluriet region and visa versa.
The Sinclair Refining Co. employes
are chnrEcd something like 9c per rid
and I cannot see where their employ
e ehould receive any better cr cheaper
transportation than Government em
ployes of whom thera are thousand's
In this region and the public large.
In the first place those trains are need
ed as a win the war measure, as they
1 av station stops at most all Import
ant war material plants Including the
Standard Steel Car and Ordnanco Dept..
at Hammond, which would mean a sav
ing In men and money. It would re
leaso about 40 auto buss drivers for
other work, to say nothing of the
wages paid drivers and the upkeep of
those cars. Seond, those trains aro
a paying proposition. If every passen
ger paid fare (no transportation hon
ored on those trains) and. third, they
nTr badly needed In the interest of
humanity, as passengers are packed
in those street cars tighter than ear
j dines were ever packed In a can I
could give several good reasons why
these trains should bo put back In
service, but I think those three reas
ons are sufficient.
Yours very rspectfully,
B. & O. C. T. Freight Traffic Inspector

and purposes o the new committee, but
said it had held a conference at which
Republican conditions throughout the
country were discussed and another
meeting would he held sometime in the
future. Mr. Wright long has been In
fluential with the farming element In
Hoosier Hfe and his work as chairman
