Editor Says Land Near Francesville is Worth $200.

Monticello Herald, Mr. George Oongram, with his son Elmer as ehauffeur, gave the editor an airing in hiiTOverland auto Sunday afternoon. In about an hour’s ride north we drank in a panorama of landscapes equal In beauty to the famous Mohawk Valley and very similar to it In appearance. Field, forest and stream, combine In this region to stir the artist and the poet, and the farms all bespeak comfort and thrift. Though the corn is somewhat late there has never been a season when it was cleaner of weeds and there is hardly a field between here and Francesville that will not measure up to the traditional standard, “knete high on- the Fourth of July.” Mar. Oongram’s own form of 280 acres, about two miles southeast of Franeesville, is in splendid condition and promises large crops. He has about 115 acres in corn and 120 acres In 08ts, and both crops promise wdl., The farm is operated bf James Brandenburg, and Mr. Congram is in luck ito have such a tenant The soil Is much like the farm lands of Big Creek and Prairie townships In this county and with the drainage, road building and tiling that has been done in that section since Mr. Congram first invested there about 15 years ago his farm now belongs in the S2OO-anl«cre class. His brother-in-law, Henry ' Pike, lives on a 160-acre farm adjoining and has a model farm home. . * MM MMVMMMMM-MMMMMOTM

William Martin Alleged to Have Eloped With Mrs. Rodgers.

A sequel to the recent troubles on “Smokey Row* was enacted Wednesday night, when it is alleged William-Martin, whose wife had charged him with infidelity, skipped out/in a covered wagon with Mrs. Evelyn Rodgers, who is charged with the alienation of Martin’s affections. They are said to have gone north but their destiny tion is said to be unknown. One rumor is that the Rodgers woman took heir husband and children along, another that she left them behind. If Martin shouM cross the Illinois line with his paramour there is a good chance that he would be nabbed by federal authorities for violation ot the Mann act. The fipblie hopes that the departure is final and that it closes the latest outbreak on “Smokey Row” # ,

JASPER COUNTY IN S. S. FRONT RANK

Met All Requirements During Past Year and President Urges That Townships DC the Same. To the Sunday Schools of Jasper County, Greeting: J One year ago at the state Sunday school convention, held In the eity of Richmond, your representatives at that convention pledged themselves that Jasper county, during •the year ending June 30th, 1913, should attain the highest rank of organization recognized by the state association, that of a Front Line county. To be a Front Line county the following standards must be attained: Home cradle rolls in 50 per eent of the sehools. Have home departments in 40 per eent of the schools. Have adult organized classes holding international certificates in 30 per cent of the schools. Have students or classes In teachers training in 20 per cent of the schools. Have definite missionary instructions In 20 per cent of the schools. Have 20 per cent of the schools keeping record of temperance pledges signed. Must increase county enrollment 10 per cent We are gratified to report that through the efficient service rendered by the superintendents of the different departments Jasper county met ail of the requirements , and at the state convention held at Evansville June 17th, 18th and 19th, was presented with a beautiful banner in recognition of the rank attained. The ready and willing response of the officers and members of the Bible schools throughout the county, has made possible out present high standard; and knowing that our Bible schools are anxious to maintain this standard and at the same time look forward to greater efficiency, in work and organization, the county organization is asking that each township be a Front Line township and every school in the county be a Front Line school, before the close of the year ending June 30th, 1914. The different townships are now planning for the township conventions and it is the aim of the county organization for some one of the county officers to meet with the township workers and plan for more efficient Bible study during the eom- * ing year. Dear friends, if you are in sympathy with a forward movement along all lines of the Bible school work in this county, won’t you manifest your interest by your presence at every session of your Bible school, by attending your township convention and help to devise ways and means of advancing the work in your own township, and by attending the county convention to be -held at Rensselaer this fall? At this convention each township that has reached the rank of Front Line in Its organization will be presented with an appropriate banner. Will your township be one? Respectfully, J. N. LEATHERMAN, County President.
