PROROSES MARKET . DAY FOR RENSSELAER

B. J. Jarrette Says It Will Be a Fine Thing and is Supported by Enthusiastic Letters. How would a Market Day once a month work for Rensselaer? B. J. Jarrette, of the Variety Store, states that he. encountered them at several places while he was a traveling salesman and they were great events and big trade bringers for the towns that held them. He recently wrote letters to Cedarburg, Wis., and Ligonier, Ind., where these markets are established institutions and asked how they were working out and received very enthusiastic replies. 1 The plans are about as follows: A day is selected that, is usually a quiet day, say the first Monday of each month. Every merchant x in the city offers one special bargain that day. An auctioneer is provided free of cost to farmers or others having stock or equipment of any kind to be auctioned, and persons c'an list their articles for sale wlthoift any cost and sell them without any cost. i Boerner Bros. Co., of Cedarburg, Wis., In response to an inquiry from Mr. Jarrette, stated that the monthly jparket day had been a very good success in that city. The letter continues: “We have what we call ‘Cattle Fair Day’ on the last Monday of each month. It is best to arrange to have it on some day of the week which is usually slow. The farmeYs come in. with their cattle, pigs and horses. They trade and sell the cattle and pigs, 'while great numbers of horse dealers come out from Milwaukee and pick up whatever stock they can get. Of course, in most cases, the wives come along with their eggs and produce and spend their time buying, while the men are trading. In this way our Stock Fair Days are usually double the ordinary run. If you work it right' you should be able to make a good thing out of a similar Fair Day. If you wish to know anything else we will be glad to let you know.” Dr. A. Gants, a dentist at Ligonier, wrote as follows': “Your inquiry about Market Day received. Well, we intend to keep it up the last Saturday of each month during the summer. We had a big crowd and lots of goods to sell. Sixty-flVe horses were sold, cattle, household goods, etc. If your people are inclined to consider such a move I would refer you to William Maker, of this city, who will be pleased to .give you any information desired along this line. Our merchants had a busy day and many had to secure extra help.” H. E. Bechtel, secretary of the Ligonier Improvement Association, wrote as follows: “Our Market Day was a Grand Success with a big G. Our plan was everything free, listing, auctioneering and all. Lt-was a great thing in the way of helping out merchants, in fact, they are so so well pleased that they want them continued. The details of a plan of this kind must be worked out to fit the conditions of your town and locality.” Mr. Jarrette Is right in his belief that a day of this kind can be made a big success here and The ReSubllcan would like to see the uslnessmen get together and Hormulate a plan for putting it into effect. It will beat any single week program that can be formulated. Mr. Jarrette favors either the first Monday or the first Saturday of each month. The free auctioneering hours would be between 11 and 12 a. m., and 1 and 2:30 p. m. Each merchant to advertise at least one leader or special for Market Day or as many more as he sees fit. But there should be one puller known as “a Market Day Special.”

Former Mt. Ayr Resident Wrote of the Flood.

J. B. Marion, a former resident of Mt. Ayr, now living at’ Milford, wrote to a relative at Morocco describing the predicament his 83-year old mother was in at Peru during the flood. The water was then within a few inches of the floor. By the time herself and son had placed a few articles of furniture on the tables the water was a foot deep In the house and they had to wade water 3 or 4 feet deep to reach a two-story house. From' the second story of thls. House they were removed in a boat the following day. The old lady did not suffer greatly from the exposure. Mr. Marlon says that the newspapers did not exag gerate the conditions existing at Peru, except in the death list, and he stated that in houses he Inspected the furniture was a total loss, while three inches of mud and slime covered everything.

Captain Wiltshire Still On the Job at Zanesville.

Mrs. Harry Wiltshire today received a letter from her son, Charles, who is captain of the Zanesville, Ohio, militia company, which has. been on duty at Zanesville since Wednesday, March 26th. He says: “Conditions here are awful. Words cannot tell you the condition of affairs. There are ten companies of National Guard on duty here now. Can’t say how long we will be on duty. I very nearly lost my life last Saturday and was in the, hospital until Monday but am feeling fine again. Haelen is well and we saved everything. We have been entirely cut off from the outside world and I wonder what the reports about Zanesville were outside of the city.” Charley has been a company commander only a few months and is getting a lot of early experience. Chase V. Day, formerly of Rensselaer, writes a postal card from Columbus, Ohio, where he has been working. He states that he has been penned in by the flood and unable to get back to Spencer, where his wife is. He hoped to get back Saturday, however. The railroad tracks were washed out in every direction. He says: “I' felt blue until the water started to go down. Food is getting" scarce but

they will have freights in by Wednesday.” From Joseph F. Hordeman, who is at Dayton, Ohio, The Republican received The Daily Herald of Monday and the Dally News of Sunday. The News contained only two pages with a brief explanation that the presses in The News office were entirely submerged and that the work of pumping out the water was in progress but it wuld probably be several days before they could be cleaned ready for use, The paper was printed from a job printing office and was circulated without any charge. ‘The telegraph offices were covered with messages of inquiry and a number of the messages that could not be delivered were printed in the paper. The Herald was filled with stories of the flood. It told ,of four births under the most serious conditions. One baby was born in an attic with the water threatening to drown the mother and her child. They were rescued just in time. The paper published a revised list of the dead and missing. The paper will be kept at The Republican office so that it can be consulted by persons having relatives at Dayton.

Tribute to Man Who “Always Kept His Word.”

Monon News. “He always kept his word,” were words that appeared in the obituary of the late J. P. Morgan, the great financier, who passed away in Rome Mdhday noon. This is a high tribute to be paid anyone. Think of your long list of acquaintances and of how many of these could it be truthfully said: “He always kept his word.” Mr. Morgan was a remarkable man. Great responsibilities were successfully borne by him. In the world of industry and finance he stood without ar peer. He was an incessant toiler. He had no use for loafers. He accummulated wealth and stood in the forefront as a captain of industry. But above and beyond the temporal splendors, this one allusion to character, he always kept his word, largely outweighs all of his other achievements, and the poorest man, on earth may be entitled to the same ecomium if he earnestly desires.

Two Dredges at Work on Monon Ditch Construction.

Monticello Journal. ' Elmer C. Williams, of Medaryville, was in Monticello Tuesday. He is construction commissioner on the Big Monon ditch and informed the writer that two dredges were now at work when the water would let them. The big dredge southeast of Francesville has dug between three and four miles of ditch since commencing. The new waterway Is about eight feet deeper than the old one, runs about fifty feet wide on the bottom and two hundred feet at the top. The smaller dredge at the beginning of the ditch has dug about the same number of miles. The* boat for the third dredge which will work on the middle section of the ditch was just recently launched.

Wolf Hunting Good in Neighborhood of Morocco.

Morocco Courier. Wolf hunting seems to have been vary good this year, as several have been reported killed, and no doubt many others have been taken and no report made. Ben Thomas has a record of three to his credit. His last was shot Thursday near Pogue, just as It started to rise from its lair. On the same day Ned Barker got one. They have all been good sized ones. Chas. Gorman bought two of the skin* and has them on display at the Motor Inn.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1913.

NEW LAW REQUIRES ARBOR DAY OBSERVANCE

All Schools Must Observe the Third Friday of April—Teachers, Are Expected to Instruct. Arbor Day was inaugurated in 1872, in Nebraska, through the efforts of Hon.. J. Sterling Morton. In Indiana it was first observed in 1884. Since that time once or twice each year more Or less attention has been given to Arbor Day. The last legislature passed a law requiring that Arbor Day be annually observed .in the schools of the state, and has fixed the third Friday of April of each year as the day. This shows the advance of the work of forestry in this state and the law is welcomed by teachers, pupils and parents. No definite program has been prescribed by the new law, but it is expected that a majority of the teachers will give lessons in the selection of the kinds of trees, shrubs and vines to plant, how to plant, prune and care for them, grafting and budding. Where space 7 will permit, suitable trees, shrubs and vines will be planted on the school grounds. Their location will be studied so that their arrangement will result in artistic effects; fences and outbuildings will be screened from view. It is hoped that the schools of every neighborhood will compete with each other in the improvement of their grounds. . However, the planting of trees will accomplish little unless they are properly protected and cared for. Plant trees and watch them grow by caring for them. Much valuable information 6n the selection, planting and pruning of shade trees is contained in the 1910 report of the State Board of Forestry, which may be obtained free by Writing to the State Forester at Indianapolis.

Morocco Courier. Harry Hunter Brunton and Miss Clellm Archibald were married at the latter’s home in Morocco Wednesday evening by Rev. Caldwell in the presence of only immediate relatives. They will live for the present at the Archibald home. Mr. Brunton is employed at the Kennedy ranch and is a good industrldu* young man. The bride is well liked by her many young fr|ends.

West Hammond Reformer Married to Charies Washburne.

Miss Virgina Brofiks, known as the "Joan of Arc” of West Hammond, where'she took an active part for a long time in ridding that city of its many lawless and vile characteis. Miss Brooks hlas received a great amount of notoriety and about two months ago when a "Young Lochinvar came out of the west” and procured a lifeense to marry her without having secured her ebnsent she announced that she would not marry the best, the worst or any other sort of a man. Charles A. Washburne was a reporter oh the staff of the Chicago Tribune at the time and he Set about to change the mind of the fair “Joan” and his success is told in the marriage ceremony. He is said to have scored a “clean scoop” over dozens of rivals. Mr. and Mrs. Washburne will make their home in Chicago and it is quite probable that she will keep an eye on West Hammond and try to see that the. dive keepers whom she drove away <fc> not return to again besmirch the little city.

Funeral of H. C. Hoshaw Held Before Sons Arrived.

The funeral of Henry C. Hoshaw was held Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the M. E. church and the body was taken from the church to the Wright undertaking parlors and held there until this Saturday morning, owing to the fact that Edward and Samuel, two sons residing in Indianapolis, could not reach here in time for the funeral. They arrived on the belated afternoon train, which reached here between 7:30 and 8 o’clock. Telegrams to them had been delayed and were not received until Friday morning. The burial took place this Saturday morning at 10:30 o’clock at Weston cemetery. The other children of the deceased are, Wilbur Hoshaw, of Wolcott, and Mrs. Mary Burns, of Mt. Ayr. Henry* W. Hoshaw, of Lowell, an uncle at the deceased, and T. J. Hoshaw, ot Chalmers, the deceased’s brother, and his wife, were here to attend the funeral.

Not All of Monticello’s Money Used at Logansport.

As the large amount of money raised at Monticello for the Logansport flood sufferers was not needed, all subscriptions were returned to the givers. The yjty had appropriated $250. and the total amount expended was $275.41. It was decided that the city council would appropriate $25.41 more and thus take care of the entire amount and that all contributors would have their money returned. Logansport evidently found that it was just as Mayor Durgan, of Lafayette, said, there was too much money and, the “grafters exceeded those in actual need.” In cities the money may be more needed and the Rensselaer committee did the right thing in sending its contribution to the governor for use any place in the state rather than sending it to a single stricken district.

Big Four Passenger Trains Detoured Through Rensselaer.

Several Big Four passenger trains have been detoured over the Monon from Lafayette since the Big Four bridge at that city was condemned. FivA went through between midhight and 3 o’clock today. The trains can be distinguished from the Monon trains by means of the whistle. ,

Sbofise, the Lincoln Chautauqua promoter, says that the indications are very favorable that a Chautauqua will be held in Rensselaer this summer.

LEGAL PRINTING LAW NOW IN EFFECT

Legals of Certain Kinds Must Be Printed in Papers of Leading Parties of County. Newspaper publishers of the state are greatly interested in the provisions of a law passed by~the legislature under the title of Senate Bill No. 134, introduced by Senator Stotsenburg, with a view of disposing of the complications occasioned by the statutory that auditors, treasurers and township trustees shall publish notices in two newspapers representing the two political parties casting the highest number of votes. In several counties of the state there ar<f ho papers representing two political parties and it has been necessary In such cases to'publish in Independent newspapers. The new law passed at this session legal; izes such publiction in independent papers in counties where there are not two political newspapers. In other counties where newspapers have turned Progressive in order to secure the printing, and where Progressive papers have been started largely for the purpose of securing a share of the county printing, conditions have arisen whieh made the old law unsuitable. Following is the full text of the law, which carries with it an emergency clause and thereby became effective Monday, March 3, when it was signed by Governor Ralston: "Section I.—Be it enacted by the General Assembly and the State of Indiana, that in all cases where the auditors, treasurers and township trustees of the several counties of the state are required by law to publish notices and reports affecting county and township affairs in a. public newspaper, said auditors, treasurers and trustees are hereby required to publish said notices as by the several statutes required in two newspapers representing two political parties casting votes in such counties respectively at the last preceding general election, one of which notices or reports shall be published in a newspaper representing the party casting the highest number of votes at said election, if there be such newspapers published in such counties, and in case there are not published in such counties newspapers representing two political parties casting votes at the last preceding general election then and in that case one of such notices or reports shall be published in the leading Independent newspaper. “See. 2.—A1l laws and parts of laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed. “Sec. 3.—Whereas an emergency exists for the immediate taking effect of this act same shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage.”

The book was in his front trousers pocket and was missed as he . stepped from the ear. He boarded the car and rode another block in the vain hope of obtaining some clew to its wherabouts. While he reported the affair to the police; he might just as well have told the great lake a"bout it. He was obliged to borrow money to.get home on.

Better Order Cemetery Work Done Without Delay.

If you want work done at the cemetery now is the time to arrange for it.
