Two Robbins Reported But Evidently Here by an Egregious Error.

Two robbin redbreasts were seen this morning by W. J. Wright, the undertaker. They were in a cedar tree by his home on River street and seemed to be as happy as these very conjugal birds are in the early spring, chirping the love notes and acting very much as' though they were discussing the specifications for a cottage home .and rejoicing the early prospects of raising a family. j They were In serious error, however, and were evidently with greater fervency than wisdom. They had either looked on the wrong page of the calendar or been buncoed by some northern homeseekiag agency, for Marse Groundhog, who is entitled to a turn at weather making before robbin can of justice become the harbringer of spring has not yet had his say. The four legged sub dweller will be around next Wednesday to offer hiatprophesy of weather to the world and if the two lovelorn robbins can stick it out in face of the colder weather forecasted until next Tuesday, Marse G. Hog will put up his sign boards on that day and let them know whether It Is safe to hang around any longer or'ff they had better go back to Tennessee and spend six weeks with the old folks.

Revival meetings continue this week. District Superintendent A. T. Briggs will be with us Saturday and Sunday. Preaching Saturday night and Sunday morning. Quarterly conference Saturday night after the preaching services. Subject Sunday night, “The Lost' Sense of Sin.”

Henry Denier, who for the past nine Xears has been living on the Streid farm In west Carpenter township, had a public sale Wednesday, which is a preparatory step to his removal to North Dakota. He has purchased a farm there but there are no improvements on it and he has rented a farm oT>SOO acres near Langdon for the, next year. He is one of our good tenant farmers and has accumulated a fine lot of stock and will take with him to his new northwestern home ten good horses, mostly brood mares. His sale totaled $1,650. One' draft mare colt, born the 20th of last July, brought slll and was the cause of Borne spirited rivalry. Four tons oi} hay in stack, brought S7O, or $17.60 a ton. The farm which Mr. Denier will vacate will be occupied by Paul Lehe, whom it is understood will retain as a part of his household Miss Huldah Denier, daughter of the present tenant. Mr. Denier’s two daughters conducted the lunch counter at the sale, served an especially fine lunch and cleared for themselves a little over S2O.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1914,

GRAVEL ROAD LAW HELD VALID BY SUPREME COURT.

By Reversing Former Decision the Proceedings Under Gravel Road Law Are Held Valid.

The supreme court of Indiana reversed itself in a decision rendered Tuesday in the gravel road law. In November the court had rendered a decision declaring the law unconstitutional, and-thereby throwing a greatfright into contractors and bonding companies. The .first were afraid they wopld never be paid for work that had been done and the bonding companies were afraid that the bond issue would likewise be illegal. The case at issue was that of Samuel M. Smith, a contractor, against the commissioners of Hamilton counr ty. The court went back on its position of last November. The technical basis of the original decision hinged on the use of the word “includes,” which the court held intentional, cqpsequently Invalidating the law. The reversal, strikes out the word “includes” and makes it read "including”, the decision holding that the use of the former word was a typographical error.

There was rejoicing all over the state by reason of the new decision. The Marion township roads were built under the law, but they were completed, the contractors paid and the bond holders would be protected. In Carpenter township the roads were not completed and could not have been under the present proceeding except by the reversal of the decision. W. F. Smith, the contractor, Is rejoicing at the decision, which threatened to stop his work on two or three jobs.

LOWELL POULTRY SHOW BEST IN THE STATE.

Total of 520 Entries Make It the Blggets and Best—Rensselaer Exhibitors Fare Nicely.

Lowell is justly proud of its poultry show which was held last week and which had on exhibition 520 entries of the highest class. The Lowell papers praise it highly, while patriotic Lowelians tell with pride that the number and quality of entries exceeded that at Lafayette and Logansport. Lowell coupled with its poultry show a butter, egg and bread exhibit that created a splendid rivalry among the women and added to the attendance.

Rensselaer fanciers reciprocated the patronage of Lowell fanciers by -sending a very creditable exhibit there, and were rewarded with the following premiums: Emmet Pullins, Starred Rocks—lst cockerel, Ist and 2d hen. B. D. Comer, Barred Rocks—2nd cockerel, 2d hen. B. L. Brenner, f Buff Rocks —Ist cock, Ist and 2d cockerel, Ist and 3d hen, 3d pullet. Arthur Mayhew, White Wyandottes —2d and 3d hen, 2d and 3d pullet, 3d cockerel. * Sylvester Gray, Single Comb Rhode Island Reds—lst and 2d hen, 2d pullet. Geo. W. Hopkins, Rose Comb Rhode Island Reds —Ist cock, 2d cockerel, Ist pullet. W. 6. Nowels, Light Brahmas —Ist and 2d hen, 3d cock, 2d cockerel, Ist and 2d pullet. G. B.

Ernest Mayhew, Indian Runnei Ducks—lst cockerel, Ist pullet. W. R. Nowels, White Pekin Ducks —lst pullet, 2d cockerel. > The Lowell Souvenir states that the number of entries was only a few short of the number shown at the Ohio state poultry show. It also states that the quality of the exhibit was much better than in former years.

Comet Seen the West A New One Called Comet A 1910.

Many residents of Rensselaer and vicinity have seen a small comet during clear evenings for several days past, and have thought it to be Halley’s great comet. This, however, is not the case, as the Halley comet will not be visible until about the first of April or a little later. The new comet is called Comet A 1910. It is probably recoding and will be visible to the naked eye only a few more evenings and not as brightly as it shown Tuesday evening. Halley’s comet is to be visible just at sun rise in the east. The study of comets would prove very interesting at this time and an article about them may be printed in an early issue of the Republican.

Paris, France, has already suffered a loss estimated at $200,000,000, as the result of the swollen waters of the Seine river, which has inundated a third of the city, resulted in many deaths and great exposure to thousands of people. As a result scarlet fever has broken out and threatens to cause an epidemic. Half of Paris is in darkness. A blinding snow storm that added to the terror has subsided but the waters of the overflown Seine continue to rise.

FALLING HAIR

Many People Have a Simple Way of Stopplag It "" m It was Dr. Sangerbond, of Paris, who first discovered that dandruff and falling hair were caused by a microbe. And now that Parisian Sage, the remedy that kills the dandruff germ is sold in every town in America, the clean people of this country have awakened to the fact that dandruff is unnecessary; that falling hair and itching scalp can be quickly stopped, and that people who use Parisian Sage will never grow bald. To every reader of the Republican who wishes to eradicate disgusting dandruff, stop falling hair, and have an immaculately clean scalp, free from itchiness, we make this offer: Parisian Sage is sold by druggists everywhere for 50 cents a large bottle. It is an ideal, daintily perfumed hair dressing, free from grease and stickiness, and will cause hair to grow lustrous and luxuriant Sold and guaranteed by B. F. Fendlg. Owing to the continued advance of flour and the fact that us Quakers are on the “square," we will continue to give 16 oz. to the pound and maintain the high standard and quality in our loaves of Quaker bread. We will be compelled on and after February Ist, 1910, to sell our bread at 5o straight and advance the wholesale price onehalf cenl per loaf. This is not done to get rich quick, but to meet our wholesale bills promptly. I would rather be a good fellow in rags than to be rich anyway. To be rich I would not know how to act, but to be poor, that’s my long suit Yours truly, THE MODEL BAKER. by GEO. FATE. The Fat Dinner Man.

To feel strong, have good appetite and digestion, sleep soundly and enjoy life, use Burdock Blood Bitters, the great system tonic and builder. Don’t be persuaded by others to stay away from our sale. S. LEOPOLD, Manager. ■
