Gillam Township Lady is Opposed to Youthful Marriages.

Editor Republican: Are the people of Rensselaer and vicinity asleep? Have they lost their Christianity, or what is the cause of these boys and girls running away to St. Jpe. Mich., so often? Do they call Ahis love? What will become of the country and churches if this state of affairs is allowed to continue? When these older people pass away who is going to step intO|,their-place and run business and church? Will these boys and girls be qualified to fill their places? There- is a great deal of talk of p money panic coming. Will there not be a far worse panic in Jasper county some day if these boys and girls don’t stop and think of the steps they are taking in leaving their studies to join in the sacred ties of matrimony? Think of mere children running away to marry. ,_i Very respectfully,

MRS. YEPPE HANSEN.

DeMotte Correspondence to Wheatfield Review. Chas. Shook certainly has a good auto in his Hudson 33, and although Charlie has been all swelled up ever since he got his Hudson, yet he has found out that his machine is just like any other auto when certain things happen out on the road. Charlie has been looking wise and giving Caleb Cheever the chesacat grin whenever he met Caleb on the road, but Caleb had the goods on him over about Virgie last week when Caleb found Charlie with his Hudson standing dead still on the road, and great big beads of sweat on Charlie’s forehead from cranking her over a hundred times, more or less and the machine refusing to budge an inch, and say, after Charlie had walked about a mile and borrowed about one half pint of gasoline (aft he had) from Uncle Bill Cooper and then going back the second trip to borrow a pail to get some gasoline from Caleb’s supply tank, maybe he wasn’t hot And then telling Charlie Curtin not to- tell The Review about it. Gee, who wouldn’t get mad Why, that’s worse] than some of them April Fool jokes which were printed in the Rensselaer Republican-.

Board Offers Opportunity to All of Present Instructors to Remain Another Scholastic Year. > The city school board met Tuesday evening and decided after some discussion to offer employment for the next scholastic year to all the presen. corps of teacherß. It isjiot probable that all will accept, as some have indicated that they are on the lookout for better paying positions. The god of Hymen is said to have cast bis influence about several of the feminine .teachers and it is probable -there will be a considerable break among them. The board agreed that the present corps of teachers is of unusual excellence.

Porter County to Have Good New System of Gravel Roads.

Wheatfleld Review. The voters of Pleasant township, Porter connty, voted by a majority of one hundred and thirty to build sixteen miles of gravel roads. Pleasant township is directly north of Wheat- , field and Kankakee townships in Jasper county. Ndw if the land owners would start a movement to build a macadam road from Wheatfleld io Baums Bridge on the north and connect with the gravel roads in Barkley township south, then the most direct good roads from northern Indiana to the south would be the result. The wonder-wise at the head of the Jasper County Democrat proved just as unreliable on the Wheatfleld election proposition as he has on myriads of other things. He said that an election could not be held in Wheatfleld because that township did not have 1,000 people. The county attorney and the commissioners thought differently and ordered an election. Probably the real hope was to ward off the election, thus havihg the township go automatically wet, and then have a saloon license granted without giving the temperance people a chance. But Bab’s legal mind don’t seem quite reliable, having been found wanting on several occasions, and it is hardly probable the commissioners would accept his recommendation when an attorney is employed to give legal advice.
