Floyd Meyers returned to Franklin last night. He came honie to bring Leonard Elder, who has been suffering a severe attack of appendicitis. Elder is considerably improved but will probably be operated on before another attack occurs. It is his present intention to go to Indianapolis for the operation one day this Week. Jerry Hfess was down from Gil am township today. He raised 300»bushels of good wheat last year. Sowed some, sold about 100 bushels and has about 200 bushels left, for which he has been offered sl.lß per bushel. When a fellow is fixed like that he don’t give a rap if some folks are kicking on the high price of living. Chris Morgenegg, who lives on the Gangloff farm in Barkley township, was in town Saturday. He thinks it quite probable that wheat has been injured by the sleet and later by the ice from the partially melted snow. His investigation indicates that the injury is most severe on high ground and that the wheat in lower ground is not much, if any, damaged. Emerson Coen is now at Guantanamo, Cuba, and writes back that he is in perfect health and enjoying the fine weather there. His ship, the U. S.

He says swimming and fishing are fine. He expects to be home on a furlough in May. W. Elvin Overton sends $1.50 for another year’s subscription to the Republican, accompanying the remittance with the following encouraging remarks: “I enclose draft for which please send me two bottles of “The ‘Elixor of Life’ per week for 52 weeks. ’Tis the best remedy I have found for a homesick boy who ‘can’t cOine home’.” Elvin still works for the International Harvester Co. and has his headquarters at Aurora, 111.

Tommy Jensen, the Wheatfleld boy, arrived today to take a clerkship in B. F. Fendig’s drug store. His brother, Lew, the pitcher, will come here too, if a job can be found for him. Here is a chance to have a ball team and if Rensselaer intends to get into the game this year they had better do it right and do it right away. If they don’t intend to or expect to take their chances later with an expensive out-of-town hired team, let this chance slip.
