A Novelty in a CheckStamped and Sent by Mail.

Leslie Alter adopted a brief method of sending an advertisement and the pay for it to The Republican office. He took a First National check, made it payable to Healey & Clark, editors, Rensselaer, Ind., for 25 cents, placed a one-cent stamp on the upper righthand corner of the check and wrote the advertisement in the lower left Hand corner, and dropped the check in the postoffice. No letter and no envelope was used. The check arrived safely with no mutilation except the cancellation of the stamp. Get the “Classified Ad” habit and get rid of the things you don’t need. You will find that there is some good money in a judicious use of The Republican's classified column.

TEACHERS IN BUSY INSTITUTE SESSION

Republican Reporter Attends All . Sessions and Gives Splendid Account of Proceedings. 7i jj| : i i'i V,ijin.^fciiiri — ' **" nn.iiijtii, ni ii.ii The teachers and a few patrons and pupils of Jasper county met Friday evening at the high school auditorium for the evening session of the'Teachers’ Association. The high school orchestra delighted the assembly with their well rendered selections given under the direction of Miss Stover. , Prof. Holton next gave his lecture, “Why I Left the Farm.” He gave advice about building up the country community through the agency of the public school, using vocational studies. X 'i:: His talk was full of hard common sense, advising that which is not ‘nrfere theory, but has been actually tried out in the rural community. He brought attention to the fact that there are twelve hundred fewer people living on farms in Jasper county today than there were ten years ago. He ended his lecture by commenting on the story from Genesis, of Lot and Abraham, and advising to follow the example of Abraham rather than that « Lot Saturday morning the Association opened at 9 o’clock. The assembly was entertained by the seventh grade chorus of the Rensselaer city schools. They gave three numbers, the last for an enchore. Prof. Holton next continued with his subject and further instruction given along the lines of his .WorkFollowing this he invited questions, and \ many were thus personally helped by the instructor. The Round Table Discussions of the morning session were then held, and many common questions of interest to grade, primary and high school teachers were discussed. The afternoon session met at 1:15 o’clock and about an hour was given to further round table discussions. Ptof. Holton then gave his closing lecture, which he followed by questions concerning the number of teachers who were doing this line of work. The number of teachers actually doing the work is surprisingly small, but it is to be hoped that his lectures will inspire and direct in these great vocational studies. Shortly after 3 o’clock the meeting was adjourned by President L N. Warren, the teachers going back to their work after a two days’ session in the county’s capital.

STILL ON THE TRAIL OF W.H. COHEE

Clarence Fate Failed to Find Him in Indianapolis Ent Got Clew That May Land Him. Clarence Fate, who was deputized as a deputy sheriff with the special mission of locating W. H. Oohee, the land agent charged with embezzlement, did not find his man In Indianapolis, but gained some information that he hopes will aid him in locating the fugitive. Mr. Fate’s Interest is the fact that his mother, Mrs. George Fate, went on Cohee’s bail to secure his release from jail. . : < _ Cohee is a native of Frankfort and is related to a well known family of that name in that city. He is reported, however, to have passed up that city in recent years and to have left behind a reputation that causes considerble doubt as to his honesty. Mr. Fate learned that he deserted a family and that there is grave doubt about the woman that was with, him in Rensselaer being his wife. - Clarence received a tip that the woman that was with him here resides on a farm near Lafayette and that Oohee is at her farm for seclusion. He communicated with police officers at Lafayette and they have been on the lookout for him and this Monday morning Clarence, accompanied by L. A. Harmon, who states that he was defrauded out of a $320 commission by Cohee, went there in search of him. Inasmuch, however, as Cohee seemed so badly frightened when arrested, it is thought probable that he will not be found. s ' The trial of C. P. Wright is set for Wednesday of this week.
