, The report did not consider the case of Clinton L. Bader, the former statq representative found guilty of filing false claims with the commissioners of Jasper county, and perhaps there was more general interest in that than -any other case. Henry B. Darling and Thomas A. TJailey, two members of the board, are conducting an investigation of the Bader case, following a request made by Governor Marshall. The Governor is showing much interest In the Bader case and requested the board to conduct a thorough investigation.

Although only 17 years of age, he is a graduate of high school and has already passed the teachers’ examination and procured a grade high enough to entitle him to a two years’ license. A requisite to such a license, however, is having had at least one teaching experience, so he was granted a year license only. His parents are old friends of W. R.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1913.

GOVERNOR PARDONS THREE; PAROLES SEVENTEEN.

No Decision Given on Petition Filed By C. L. Bader; Parole Board '' Investigating Merits. Acting on the recommendation of the state board of pardons, Governor Marshal yesterday pardoned three paroled seventeen from the state prison and the Indiana reformatory. Two of the pardoned prisoners were serving a life sentence. Paroles were refused to twenty other prisoners, for whom petitions had been filed. The Governor will also eight other prisoners, whose cases were passed on by the parole boards of Indiana penal institutions.

Editor Babcock Should Have Been Lone Auto Parade Judge.

Editor Babcock does not hold the artistic taste of the four judges in the automobile parade in very high esteem. Having been the sole judge of the winner in his piano contest last winter and having made a brilliant success in that line, without the aid of outsiders, and having pronounced the decision he made thoroughly honest and endorsed It and himself through his own paper, he naturally thinks his judgment unerring In the matter of decorated autos. The committee that made the awards in the auto race consisted of Flo & Wynn, Haberkorn and Lester, all visiting theatrical performers.-They were appointed by H. F. Parker, who took over the matter of managing the parade after Clarence Fate decided to enter his oar in the contest They gave fllfst prize to Mr. Fate and second to Dr. Hansson. Both cars were beautiful, but the committee decided that for artistic arrangement the Fate car was the best. Dr. Hansson proved a poor loser and made an awful roar. He came to The Republican office and declared that the car he drove, which was the big Overland recently sold to B. D. Comer, was the best decorated and that he had been cheated out of the prize. We tried to placate him, and did not wish to print his charges of fraud. We had always admired his boosting qualities and we do yet, but we have always believed that a good booster should also be a good loser, and we believe-that yet, too. . The objection of Dr. Hansson seemed too trivial for newspaper discussion and The Republican did not mention' if until it had the endorsement of the “Kicker’s Mouthpiece.”

Mr. Fate received $lO as the winner, which he gave to Miss L&ura Harrod, his cousin, who assisted in decorating the car. Dr. Hansson received $5 as second prize. Neither went into it for the sake of the money. %a for the glory, there is enough of that to go round, and we believe that the public will give to both of the winners, as well as to the losing cars, full praise for their pat-, riotic efforts to make the parade a success.

Reynolds and Donegan Make Farewell Appearance Tonight,

Reynolds and Donegan, who did not intend to give their roller skating act at The Gayety tonight on account of an engagement at St. Louis, have made different arrangements and will give their performance as on previous nights.

Talked With Farmers About Holding Institutes This Fall.

•Prof. W. C. Latta, of Purdue, came here the 4th of July and met a few farmers at the office of County Superintendent Lamson, and talked with them about arranging for some meetings in Jasper county during the late summer or the early fall. It is proposed to hold the meetings in various parts of the county, having several orchard demonstrations. The farmers will be asked to meet at some orchard and instruction will be given in the correct method of pruning and spraying. All questions about orchard development will be answered.

The money for the holding of these meetings is now in the hands of the auditor and there will be no cost to the individuals who take pari. This is a splendid chance to have some good meetings, probably three or four, and the farmers should not neglect it. Ira F. Meader, R. D. No. 2, Rensselaer, is the chairman of the Jasper County Farmers’ Institute and he hopes to have the, co-operation of all the progressive farmers of the county. Another meeting will probably be called before long to make plans for the fall meetings. Farmers should avoid indifference but be awake to their interests and permit nothing to stand in the way of getting all the instruction they can from these meetings.
