RENSSELAER. INDIANA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1913.

FARMERS STATE BANK IS BEING ORGANIZED

J. D. Allman, R, A. Parkison, A R. Kresler and Rowles & Parker • to Be Interested. For a month a movement has been on foot to organize a fourth bank for Rensselaer and in deference to the wishes of the promoters ho mention had been made of it by the newspapers hitherto. Now, however, the movement has taken such substantial shape that The Republican has been granted an interview by the leading promoters and is able to give to its readers all of the substantial details, except one or two things that are deemed important to keep secret at this time. The bank is to be a state bank and will probably be named The Farmers State Bank of Rensselaer. It will probably be capitalized at $30,000, although it is possible that the capital stock may be even more than that. Dr. A. R. Kresler, R. A. Parkison/ Rowles & Parker, J. D. Allman, F. M. Parker, John Kresler and several others whose names are at this time withheld have been active in the plans to organize a new bank and they state that they have received so much encouragement from farmers and businessmen that the demand for stock will probably exceed the amount to be issued. It is proposed to, have a large number of small stockholders, the shares being SIOO each. The location has notq>een definitely decided upon, but it is probable that the Harris building will be used. It was used by the' Harris bank and is supplied with vault and considerable furniture that could be utilized. Mr, Harris has given the new bank promoters an option on the building, which is now occupied by Dr. J, H. Karlsson, as an office. It is proposed to get started up by the first of April and possibly by March 15th. Certificates of stock have arrived and are soon to be filled out and delivered to the men taking stock. It is quite probable that R. A. Parkison will be the president and J. D. Allman either cashier or assistant cashier. The names of all the men mentioned as promoters or stockholders will assure the stability of the bank, and the popularity of Mr. Allman, who was treasurer of Jasper county for four years, is certain to be a great drawing card for business, and the business gives every promise of starting out under auspices that are very flattering.

Some Rapid Increases in Jasper County Land Prices.

A land sale took place this week that is of interest for two reasons. One was the amount involved, and the other was the greatly increased price over the figure stated as the Selling price about a year ago. The land consists of 519 acres and is situated near Zadoc. George F. Meyers is to have bought it for S2B per acre of B. J. Gifford. He sold it to Frank P. Smith and others, of Piatt county, 111., and was macle their agent to sell it to some one else. Mr. Meyers found a buyer in the person of John MHart, of Bunker Hill, and the farm sold for $46,710, which is S9O per acre.

Card of Thanks. During the fatal sickness of our father, David Nowels, many friends administered aid for which they may not have been thanked in person, and we wish in this manner to express our sincere thanks to them all. We also wish to thank the Methodists for the use of their church for the funeral service. THE FAMILY. Notice to Odd Fellows. The Odd Fellows will give work in the first and third degrees on Thursday evening, Jan. 23. Eugene Tyner, of Monon, will have charge of the team. The new floor work will be given. FRED TYLER Sec’y. Will Daugherty, of Barkley township, who last year bought 240 acres of land in that township, has been doing mighty well in his real estate adventures. He paid SII,OOO for the 240-acre tract, and some time ago sold to A. B. Lowman 160 acres of it for $75 per acre, or $f5,000. Later he sold the other 80 acres to John N. Baker for $5,000, which gave him a clear profit of $6,000 on the land, besides a crop that made him about SI,BOO. Now WIH has purchased of O. G. Spitler the 120-acre farm east of Rensselaer that A. B. Lowman recently sold to Mr. Spitler. The price paid for this was $lO5 per acre. Harvey Davisson, the real estate man, made all of the deals.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

This week was the beginning of the second semester. The final examinations were held last Thursday and Friday and the report cards were gfVeh' but Wednesday noon. Several changes were made in the periods in order to make room for the senior arithmetic class which is to be taken up instead of English this semester. Mrs. Dean is teaching again this week during the sickness of Miss Mallory. There will be a basketball game at the high school Friday evening between Monticello and Rensselaer. The following program was given by the Webster Literary Society Wednesday afternoon. Reading ...........Lorene Warren Orchestra. Recitation ..Marian Parker Reading .Orabelle King Piano Duet Margaret Babcock, Wilda Littlefield Several visitors were present and the program was praised very highly. Mr. Sharp was appointed critic for the occasion. After his report the meeting adjourned. Anna Leonard, who has been attending the Francesville- high school, entered the sophomore class of this school Monday. Aileen and Kenneth Allman, former students of this school, but who recently have been attending school at Ashland, Oregon, have again entered the senior and sophomore classes here, respectively, Ethel Clarke, a member of the senior class, who has been absent since Christmas on account of sickness, will return to school next Monday. The chemistry class recited Tuesday, as usual. It seems that two hours’ recitation is too much for one of our seniors for he continually falls asleep. This time he had scarcely give# his version of the lesson before the sand man visited him and he was at once in the land of dreams. The high school has been asked to furnish the music for the teachers’ association meeting to be held here February 28th and 29th. The music teacher has decided to have the advanced chorus sing on Friday afternoon and the orchestra play Friday night. The seniors have finally decided on their class pins and they will be ordered this week. A basketball game was played bfr tween two teams at the high school Thursday evening after school. Most of the students witnessed this game, which proved very exciting. The rule by which all students who make 91 per cent in deportment are excused fyem the final examination in the studies where the grade is at least 91 per cent, has been very effective the past semester, as is shown by the following summary: BOYS Exempt 9|lo |ll 12 In Deportment .... 4| 4 | 5 9 In One Study . | 3 | 2 In Two Studies .... | 2 | 1 2 In Three Studies .. 1 | 1 | 2 In Four Studies .... j 1 j 3 GIRLS In Deportment ... .| 14 |l6 15 9 In One Study | 4 | 6 1 1 In Two Studies ....j 1 | 2 1 1 In Three-Studies ..[ 2 | 1 [ V 1 7 In Four Studies ...j 1| 1 6 2 In Five Studies ...| | 1 The total cases of exemptions in all departments was 135, of which 93 were girls and 42 boys, or the per cent of exemptions, counting that each student carries four studies, would be 24 per cent. ' ... The Delphi Herald gives its endorsement to the conduct of the basketball team of that town and pronounces their work “alever, ’’ and asks for more of the same kind. The paper speaks of the "clever defense of the Delphi guards.” The defense consisted In jamming Rensselaer forwards into the wall, pushing and slugging them, but a debased clientele at Delphi calls it "clever.” It is understood that Monticello has placed Delphi on Y;he basketball blacklist and it is probable that all other towns will do the same thing. The good people of Delphi, of whom there are many, will probably never know the shameful conduct of the bruisers on the basketball team, because at least two of the newspapers cambe counted on to present reports entirely covering up the methods of cowardice resorted to by the team, and given the approval of the manager and spectators.

A. B. Lowman will hold a public sale Friday, Feb. 7th, at the farm he has been occupying east of Rensselaer, disposing of a large amount of stock and farming tools. He will move to the farm recently purchaseci in Barkley township. Chas. G. Spitler has just sold through the Harvey Davisson agency the farm of 160 acres he has owned for some time near Pleasant Ridge. The buyer is A. Gangloff and the price paid was $l5O an acre.
