BASEBALL FANS HAPPY; TOM JENSEN COMING.

Whfle Lon Jensen, the Pitcher, Will Also Be Here If Given Employment—Revives Spirit. Fandom will rejoice at the information that Tom Jenson, 'of Wheatfleld, who played baseball at Oxford last year, Is ta begin work about February Ist at the B. F. Fendig drug store iu this city, and. also that his big brother, Lou, the pitcher, will probably come to Rensselaer, and become a member of the 1910 Wrens. When asked to verify a notice to the effect that Tom Jensen would work for him, as published In the Kankakee Valley Review, Mr. Fendig said that it was the case, and that Tommy had talked baseball to him and would be anxious to join the Wrens. The Jensen hoys are both ball players, Tommy being a second baseman and Lou one of the best pitchers and' batters who have played semi-pro-fessional ba)l in this part of Indiana. It was Lou Jensen who pitched agafnßt Rensselaer in all. the”games played against Oxford last year. This addition to the local team will give us a good all home organization, with McLain behind the bat, Jensen in the box, Swartzell on first, Morgan and Jensen at second and third, Parcells at short, Kepner, Wilcox, Parks and Kirk in (he field. Ranner, of Sheldon, the pinch hitter, who figured In several .winning contests last year, is also understood to be willing to come to Rensselaer if a job painting can be procured for him. With this fine addition to the *last year material Rensselaer Is In a better position than ever before to have a winning team, and the sleeping fans are awakening and. pleased with the outlook.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1910.

POULTRY SHOW FINE; MANY GOOD ENTREES.

Some of the Best Birds In the Business on Exhibition at the Show in Former Garage Building. The Rensselaer Poultry Association has a fine show this year and one that is worthy, the attendance of all, not only poultry ralßers but every person in Rensselaer and every fanner in the surrounding country. The officers of the association have exerted every effort to provide a show that will entertain and instruct you and the result is a very attractive and creditable exhibit, with a large number and variety of entries well arranged for display in the building formerly occupied by the Rensselaer Garage, be-

ing the frame building at the corner of Vanßensselaer and Cornelia streets. The room is large and a fine place for the show and the visitor there will get his ten cents’ worth many times over. In a six sided cage near the entrance are several golden pheasants owned by Mrs. William Eger and which have for several years been one of the most attractive entries at the poultry show. Several pigeons from the C. W. Rhoades’ pens dwell In harmony with the pheasants. Just to the left is a poll parrott, the property of Frank Hill, and one of the most talkative birds you ever saw. To the right Is a dsplay of bantams, with W. F. Powers, Fred Waling, Brook Moore, Gladys Pierce and Harold Pumphrey as owners. Next comes the “Snake Faced Hen.” This is not a new variety of chicken but is a freak, the property of J. H. Holden, the poultryman. It was born without a beak and has a habit of sticking its tongue out much like a snake, and, in fact, has the facial appearance of a snake. It is a fully grown Plymouth Rock and an oddity worth seeing. There are 38 turkey entries, the main exhibits being by Pullin Bros., Wm. Hershman, Joe Pullin, Barney Kolhoff and Henry Gowland. Some of the Hershman turkeys have been exhibited and won prizes St. Louis this year and will later be exhibited at the Indianapolis Bhow. One es the gobbler turkeys owned by the Pullin boys weighs fifty pounds. It was sold by them three years ago to a man in Illinois who exhibited it in New York and Chicago, at both of which places it won first prizes. At Chicago Emmet Pullins offered the owner SSO for it, but could not buy it. Since then he secured It in a trade tor other birds. It is a massive turk, but does not cast much of a shadow over several of the other entries. Barred Rocks are one pi the most popular kinds of chickens, and the class is not so large as usual. Pullin Bros, have a fine lot and their only competitors are J. H. Holden and Rev. G. H. Clarke. In Buff Rocks, Bert Brenner, secretary of the association, and James Hainford, of Kersey, are the only exhibitors. The birds are fine and will score high.

In White Rocks there Is but one exhibitor, Wells Alnswprth, of Lowell. It is unfortunate that W. R. Geier, of Remington, who Is ope of the greatest White Rock fanciers in the state, does not have his birds here for comparison. Mr. Ainsworth has some very fine birds and they are one of the hdhdsomest kind of chickens. An exhibit that is certain to attract much attention is that of William Hershman’s Black Langghans. Mr. Hershman has distinguished Walker township J>y exhibiting these birds at many big shows, recently winning some good prizes at Bt. Louis. He has a tn<i» that is very fine and which he hopes to capture a prize with at Indianapolis. They are big stylish birds. V- . : Arthur Mayhew, Jasper county's successful White Wyandotte raiser, will come into competition with a good exhibit from A H. Maxwell, of Lowell. This is another of the finest looking birds. betng_ snowy white. Geo. W. Hopkins, P. M. Parker and R. D. Thompson are exhibitors of Rhode .Island Reds, for which the claim of winter egg production Is made. They, also, Are good looking fowls. G. B. Porter, of Rensselaer, and Nicholas Mlnnlnger. of Lowell, are the •Buff Orpington exhibitors, and the latter has some White Orpingtons

also. These are birds worth your attention. , -y~~- . W. R. Nowels has a fine exhibit of light Brahmas, big and beautiful birds and certain to score high., S. EL Yeoman is the only exhibitor of Silver Laced Wyandottes. W. R. Nowels, Victor Yeoman and Mrs. Ji EL Alter are the only Pekin Duck exhibitors and there are no geese. Sylvestejr Gray has a good lot of single cogib .Rhode island Reds, the other exhibitors having the rose combed sort. Harry B. Murray and Fred Waling have some first-class Black Minorcas. John A. Johnson, of Lowell, and Leslie Pollard have Brown Leghorns, and N. W. Slusser, of Lowell, and Ed Herath, of Rensselaer, have White Leghorns. These are particularly a laying ptraiu. H. W. Petrie presents a pen of Silver Spangled Hamburgs. The show in every respect Is firstclass and ev§jry person should see it. Go this evening, Friday evening or during Friday or Saturday. A pair of thoroughbred birdß are given away each evening. Don’t forget the baby show at the Princesß Saturday.

The Cause of the High Price of Pork Discussed.

The 14th annual meeting of the Indiana state veterinary association was held at Indianapolis yesterday and Dr. A P. Bolser in an address stated that the high price of hogs is occasioned largely by the ravages of hog cholera within recent years. A very reasonable cause of the high 'price has been advocated here by farmers. They state that the high price of corn within recent years has resulted in many hog raisers almost abandoning the work and hauling their corn to market. This has especially affected the smaller hog breeders, and the accumulation of these has materially'reduced the supply of hogs. The demand has continued normal notwithstanding the high prices and with the demand the price has Increased.
