COLLEGE VILLE.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1911.

JUNE FIRST.

John Bowie, editor of the Wheatfield Review, inspired by the buoyancy broke into verse this week and the following stanza to June appeared in his paper: j * .. '. .. .. r u__ — ——~t—* -- -, -i Now, joyously, fair June we greet, Long parting makes her coming sweet; And, in her name, each soul drinks up Delicious drinks from Beauty’s cup. As saloons are to be reinstated in WheatfielcL during the early part of June, it occurred to the Republican rhymster that Brother Bowie might have had that in mind and he broke forth in verse as follows: And if your plans go not awry, a Along with June so sweet and shy, At Wheatfleld you’ll soon be drinking up A draft not found in beauty’s cup. The beverage you prepare to drink It not for souls, we surely think, Unless you seek them to destroy And then the means that you employ Are certain quite to bring result, v To blight young lives, promote tumult. And leave its mark of pitiless shame Where might have been both pride and fame. Ah,'brother, if you’d Bing Tell of sweet roses and perfume, But don’t suggest the flowing cup That Wheatfleld folk will soon drigk up.

Wheat in Gillam Township is Total Failure Says John Ryan.

John Ryan was down from Gillam township Wednesday. He usually brings good news from the northwest but not so this time. He reports that the wheat throughout Gillam township Is practically a total failure and that he does not believe If It was left until harvest time it would produce a quart to the aogw. The Hessian fly is the chief cause of the ruin. They began operating in the fall and were on the Job early this spring. They lay eggs and hatch them as long as there is anything to operate on. The wheat is being plowed up and corn planted. Others are bringing in unfavorable reports of wheat. 8. E. Sparling, who has out some of the cereal, thinks the chance of any sort of a crop is very poor. The acreage in Gillam township, Mr. Ryan says, waa the largest in its history, and this is probably the case all over the country. The loss will be a severe one.

Love in Public This Couple Will Probably Fight at Home.

Clayton, Mo., May 31.—While waiting for the return of the marriage license clerk, Mrs. Rose Ballard of Wt, Louis, Mo., and Frank R. Cahill, a traveling salesman of Latrobe, Pa., sat in their automobile before the court house here today and hugged and kissed each other at least a hundred times to the intense delight of an immense crowd, according to witnesses of the performance. A wag in the audience cried “break away,” but the bride-to-be paid no attention and the man only blushed, while the Spooning” contest went on apace. A street cter, blocked for several minutes by the crowd, was held and when the conductor finally gave the two bell signal to his motorman the passengers insisted on seeing the remainder of the show add the conductor yielded and held the car. When the clerk returned the couple was married. Mrs. Ballard and Cahill motored here from St. Louis for the ceremony.
