Wins Fight For Life. It was a long and blpody battle for life that was waged by James B. Mershon, of Newark, N. J., of which he writes: “I had lost much blood from lung hemorrhages, and was very weak and rua-down. For eight months I was unable to work. Death seemed clos& on my heels, when I began three" weeks ago, to use Dr. King’s New Discovery. 'But it has helped me greatly.

Mr. and Mrs. Ed Deweese and her mother, Mrs. E. L. Saylor, went to Wheatfleld yesterday, where the latter will make her home. They returned recently after a one year stay on a farm near Tacoma, Wash. Mr and Deweese will make their home in Rensselaer. Ed was truck farming near Tacoma and had out his crop for this year when the owner of the land had a flattering offer £pr the farm. He paid Ed liberally to vacate and he decided to return to Jasper county, which it about good enough for any one, he thinks. Next year be expects to rent a farm.

Governor Marshall is defending his new constitution. He can do that more effectively than he can defend the method employed to try to have it adopted into law. The present constitution has a provision for amendment but .the so-called new constitution ignores it and in a high-handed manner seeks to adopt a constitution framed in a democratic caucus and the new constitution contains the same provision for revision that the old one did. The constitution of Indiana should be greater than party and the people will decide undoubtedly that it is a lot bigger than Tom Marshall and give his pet measure a complete trampling under foot.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1311.

FIRST COMMENCEMENT AT THE MONNETT ACADEMY.

Miss Erma Marie G4nson the Graduate and Miss Winifred Chappell the Principal Speaker. Althougth the weather man failed to provide favorable weather for the occasion, commencement day at Mon' nett Academy proved to very successful. The exercises and songs were well rendered, delighting sill present. They were closed by a farewell recitation by the sweet girl graduate Erma Marie Ganson. Miss Winifred Chappell, assistant principal of the Chicago Training School for City, Home and Foreign Missions, delivered yery nobly an address which she directed chiefly to members of the school. jShe chose as her text, “I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the Barbarians, both to the wise, and to the jmwise.”— Pauls Epistle eo the Romas, 1:14. Following is a very brief survey of

Miss Winifred Chappell

her enlargement of the text. ‘‘Paul surely did not owe anything financialy to the world, and yet he was deeply in debt. We are always in debt to people because we have something which they have not. I am very much in debt to the world, not because I have much money, O no! But I r like Paul,, have something which many have not and I must give it out. The great idea has been to forever take in and take in all we can possibly for your own good. But we are coming to a better realization of what we owe to the world. We are learning of the great joy to give out and give out our very best and all we have to the world for the en’ richment of all around us. We think we cannot give much, but we* can smile, we can say a kind word to one In sorrow. I haven’t much to give—but I can give a cheery smile. I hope

I know how to do that. Here is a little child I would like to help, but I have no money. Why cannot I give a bright smile —she needs it? We can give much to help besides money. “God has given us each some gift for the world. Here is one who loves music. But she cannot give the world great pleasure by her talent alone. She must put forth a strenuous effort to develope that talent. She must Bpend many wearisome hours of practice before she can cheer and soothe by her sweet music. You little girls perhaps, seeing the lives of your teachers, think you would some day like to be a teacher and give out much to the world. But you cannot do much to help, even if you are naturally fitted for a teacher, unless tou study hard and develope the gift God has given you. I know of deaconesses working in the slums of the great city and in darksome paths of sin, who are giving out all their beautiful lives to the world for its betterment and Eternal welfare.

“Let us all develope to the best advantage the gift which God has given us for the world, then give it out freely and gladly and spend and be spent for Christ”

Miss Chappell herself is a worthy example of the altrinstic life. A young woman of naturally bright mind, she has developed that which she was given to the best advantage. The daughter of parents in moderate circumstances, she was forced to educate herself and therefore learned the true value of tin education. She is a graduate of Northwestern University, of Chicago. After graduating from the Chicago Training School in 1902 she was immediately put on the teaching force there and promoted in 1910 to assistant principal. When we remember that no deaconess receives a salary but only SIO.OO a month for allowance, we can truly say that Miss Chappell with all her talents illustrates the self-sacrificing life of service, in very truth a copy of the noblest of all types, the lowly man of Galilee.

WANTED PIG FOR PET; HAD EXCITING RACE.

Autoists Stole Suckling Pig and Farmer Chased Machine and Fired At Fleeing Tourists. . - ■

Lake County Times. You can take it from me that whenever I go on any more auto rides through Indiana with a party and get an ardent yearning for a young pig, they will have to let me out of the machine and do their own stealing. 1 solemnly hold up my right hand and say, “Never again.” Frank C. Williams. Chased by an irate Newton county farmer, his. son and hired man armed with shotguns, because they picked up a fat little poland china suckling pig, a party of autoists, returning from the speedway race “blew into” Hammond shortly before noon today with a tale of adventure that makes the late lamented mattle of Jaurez look like an Ice cream sociable. In the party were Frank C. Williams, formerly of Hammond; John A. Dickes, of Aurora and Misses Jessica Salfisburg and Winnie Browne, two broiler friends of Mr. Dickes, who simply “think young pig is too lovely for anything” when accompanied by the customary cold bottle.

And thereby hangs a tale. When the big Dickes Cadillac was bowling along this morning between Aix and Thayer Miss Browne’s bright blue eyes noticed a litter of Poland China sucklings hear "the roadside and expressed her desire for one of them to Mr. Dickes. Nothing -doing but for Dickes to shut off his gas and the four chased the litter into an orchard behind which was reared the, lowly domicile of a husky farmer, who, as the party afterwards found out, was watching the proceedings frdth the time the auto., stopped. Mr, Williams, having the longest legs, outsprinted his companions and tripping on a bunch of stubble fell flat on his prize, By this time the farmer in language not at all fit for Sunday school picnics, shouted: “What in air you doin’ to thet pig o’ mine?” “Why we are just going to give it a little automobile ride, have you any objections?” gleefully retorted Mr. Dickes as he advised the “broilers” to cut lickety split for the touring car. Mr Williame says the party evidently thought they were playing last man

in, for when he got to the machine and threw the pig into the tonneau, Mr Dickes was seated placidly at the wheel advising him as official cranker of the party “to get a blanketyblank move on him or get shot.” When Frank got the iqachine purring the machine was under way an<Wie had to scramble in as best he cotnl, his legs dangling out over the side of the car for 200 yards before he could get breath enough to fall inside. By this time the farmer and his son and hired man, two of them with shotguns, had clambered in a light wagon hitched to a team of horses and were coming rattlety-clack after the auto faster than Paul Revere on bis memorable ride. The broilers were screaming, the pig squealing and the infuriated tillers of the Newton county loam were threatening to shoot unless the auto was stopped. “Shoot your antiquated revolutionary muskets," snorted Mr. Dickes, and just then bang-bang and birdshot rattled over the hood. In his excitement Dickes flooded his carburetor and the engine nearly came to a stop. On came the farmers and for two miles with an occasional volley from the jaspers, the merriest little race that ever was pulled off in Newton county b’gosh, took place. Then mind triumphed over matter and the touring car lurching from one side of the road to the other, leaping over bumps, the broilers in the air one moment and the pig in the air the next, gradually drew ahead and plenty of rubber was burned between Thayer and Hammond for. fear the farmers would telephone the Lake county authorities. But Mr. Williams will not have any young roast pig and apple sauce for dinner tonight, and doesn’t care what John L. Dickes, of Aurora has.

Other Farmers Talk About The Wheat Crop Prospects.

-- /Mb. The wheat outlook Ns not so discouraging in many places in the county as It. seems'to. be'in Gillam township and Friday the Republican writer had an opportunity to interview a number of farmers from various parts of the couhty and many of them stated that the wheat outlook in their immediate sections is very good. Ev erett Brown, who lives near Pleasant Grove and consequently not a great ways from the Gillam township line, made a quite thorough investigation Friday after reading in The Republican that John Ryan had found conditions so bad in Gillam township. Mr. Brown visited a half dozen fields of wheat near his farm home and looked them over carefully. He thinks they are all free from the fly and in fist-class condition! Will Florence, of Union township, confirms the report brought in by several from that township, to the effect that the fields are spotted, some are much better than others. The yield will not be nearly so great this year as last, but he thinks some fields should go 20 bushels to the acre. Roe Yeoman says about the same of Newton township. There is some wheat there that looks very good. All agree that the early planted wheat was attacked by the

fly and that the late- wheat escaped. An early harvest is probable. James Walters has examined his wheat and finds it in good condition and he feels quite certain that he will have a fairly good crop. Ed Tanner has cut a small field. It was planted on muck land and is in splendid shape. Mrs. B. D. Comer was in from Union township Saturday 'and states that the wheat is in different grades of condition there. Barney has out 200 acres, of his own and on shares. About 30 acres fit that-flrst planted was badly damaged by the fly. Most of the other looks like it would get through al right. The best piece is the last sown. It is on muck land. Mrs. T. F. Maloney came down from Kankakee township today to visit her son at St. Joseph’s college. Her husband has had splendid success with wheat during recent years, as have a number of other Kankakee township farmers. Last Sail tie put out Tb It wts.' sown early and has been hadly damaged by the fly. They 1 think It will not make more than a quarter of a crop. Some was so bad that it was plowed up and corn planted and more would have been, but for want of time. Hrs. Maloney says that a quarter wheat crop it not profitable on land that will grow good corn. Some of the wheat was sown on land that has raised wheat for the past three years. It is not so badly affected by the fly, as that sown on land that has raised other crops. About ten years ago Mr. Maloney had a crop of wheat ruined by the fly. Some fields in Kankakee township are in very bad condition. The Republican would like to hear from other farmers who have wheat out.

Plucky Young Law Student Returns to Indiana University.

Bernard F. Borchardt returned to Bloomington this Saturday morning to spend the- closing days in school. He is a law student there and is working his way* through college, having come from Tampa, Fla., last fall. He is a nephew of B. F. and Samuel Fendig. About three weeks ago he was siezed with a severe attack of appendicitis and was taken to Chicago for an operation. His appendix was found much enlarged and diseased and had he not been operated on at the time it is doubtful if he have withstood another attack of the disease. It was tough luck that he should lose three weeks of his first year law course right at the close of the term but he is well along in his studies and has been assured by the instructors that it will not interfere with his passing. He has been visiting his uncles in Rensselaer since last Monday.

Pension Promises.

Lafayette Journal. According to a Washington dispatch to the Indianapolis Star “pension promises now worry the democrats in congress. The democratic representatives of the north Were very free* with premises before election but favorable action on the question is not so easy. When some men run for office they f are willing to promise anything. Democratic candidates for pensions promised everything. But now they find themselves confronted by the revenue question, for if pensions are increased revenue must be provided. They also find themselves confronted by southern democratic sentiment which isn’t over enthusiastic for the men who fought for the union. During the campaign republican speakers pointed out that a democratic ’'ncfowfe vsnSd not scevfde * the revenue and that southern representation, would oppose pension action. General Sherwood’s service pension bill has been approved by committee, but it has a hard road ahead. The Sherwood bill follows: ‘ny person who served in the military or naval service of the United states during the civil war and who has been honorably discharged therefrom/ shall, upon making proof of such facts according to such rules and regulations as the secretary of the Interior may provide, be placed on the pension roll and be entitled to receive a pension as follows: For a service of ninety days or more and less than six months, sls per month; for a service of six months or more and leas than nine months, S2O per month; for a service of nine month* or more and less than, one year, $25 per month; for a service of .one year or more, S3O per month; provided that no ode who shall be in receipt of a pension V>f $25 or more per month under this act shall be entitled to admission or residence in the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers; and no state or territorial home for disabled soldiers and sailors shall receive any aid from the general government on account of any person who shall be in receipt of a pension of $25 per, month or more under this act “Any person who served in the civil wap a °d received an- honorable discharge and who was wounded in battle or on duty and who was thereby disabled and is now unfit for manual labor, or from disease or other causes incurred in the line of duty resulting in his disability now to perform manual labor, shall be paid the maximum pension under this net, to-wtt, S3O a month, without regard to length of service.”

This measure Is not altogether satisfactory for it ignores age. It seems that the democratic majority of the house is unsettled on the pension question. The ifs introduced and the excuses being made do not predict pension legislation. The democratic rep- | resentatives of the north are face to face with their promts and they will be judged accordingly.
