WANTS OUR BOYS TO GET INTERESTED

County Agent Suggests That They Take Part In Judging Contest at the State Fair. There is to be a “Boys Judging Contest” at the state fair, Sept. 9th, which will offer four prizes to boys between the ages of 16 and 20 years of age. The prizes are in the form of scholarships to Purdue valued at SIOO, $75, SSO and $25. The contest is open to any boy of Indiana of the age named above and who has never been regularly classified in any agricultural school or college. ‘ Each contestant will be required to judge one ring each of horses, beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, swine, white corn, yellow corn and wheat. The whole will constitute a possible 800 points and the prizes will be awarded to those getting thS best score out of the 800. This, you will see, does not mean that the boy that is well up on any one class will have the best chance of winning, but rather the boy who has a good appreciation of cattle and grain, in general. I would like very much to see a good number of Jasper county boys in this contest and would like to see them bring home some of the prizes, and they have Just as good a chance to do so as any in the state. I I will be glad to hear from any boy interested or more glad to talk with him and explain the contest more fully and will also be glad to help any of you to prepare for the contest all that I am able and will attend the fair with you if I can get a good representation to enter. We have not very mucff time left to get into shape so any of the boys throughout the county who feel that they can possible arrange to go will let me know as soon as they can and we will get the entry forms in as soon as possible.

Obituary of Robert Ernest May.

Robert Ernest May was born in White county, Indiana, on the 30th day of April, 1912. He was the only son of Frank and Mary May. Little Robert fras in this world a little over a year before God summoned him to His heavenly home. He was a bright, loving little boy and made himself the idol of his parents and only little sister, Ruth. He leaves a host of relatives with bleeding hearts, who were at his bedside when the end came. Besides uncles, aunts, cousins and friends he leaves his orily living grandfather and grandmother, James A. and Isabelle May, to mourn his death. Although but fifteen months old the little boy could walk and speak a few words to his father, mother and little sister. ■» ’ f

Robert was named after Robert Keves, a relative, who had unbounded hopes in his namesake, and who mourns the little fellow’s death as one of the immediate members of the family. Death came as a result of cholera infantum. He was apparently hale and strong until last Monday evening. AU was done that could be done to save .the little boy from death, but God had sent the summoning angel and nothihg could be done to change the summons. The little boy’s spirit passed to his heavenly home at 20 minutes before 12 o’clock Saturday noon, July 26, 1913, aged one year, two months and twenty-six days. Funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon. The Rev. E. M. Kuonen, of Lee, Ind, delivered the funeral address. Interment in the Dobbins Cemetery, tour miles north of Wolcott.

The Cattlemen’s Commercial Club, a well reputed ball dub of Chicago, representing the Union Stock Yards, will oppose the Athletics at Riverside Park next Sunday. The game was arranged by Emmet Eldridge. The visiting team has won games at Joliet, Bloomington and other Illinois cities and is supposed to be characterized by that brand of “pep” which has made Chicago famous as a ball town. As previously stated the Athletics will be composed of an all home’ team. Clark will again be on the mound, with Elmer Wilcox at the receiving end. This star battery has made a fine record this year and will try to put a climax to the winning streak of the “cow punchers.” Faithful “Dad” Swartzell will be on first, dependable Parks on second and that splendid outfield, Elder, Jesse Wileox and Denniston in the field. Eldridge, Eigelsbach, Robinson, Potts, Clark and Cohn are left from which to select the third corner and shortstop men. Those holes have been hard to fill, but the work of Eldridge in the Wednesday practice was very encouraging. He is fast, accurate and has a splendid throw. Morgan was out for practice and showed very good considering his bad knee, but there is small chanee of his working in Sunday’s game.

M. Wasson and her sister, Mrs. J; J. Hunt, went to Monticello today for a brief visit with some relatives of Mr. Coen. County Assessor John Q. Lewis returned - Wednesday afternoon from Indianapolis, where he attended the meeting of the state tax commission board. An effort is being made to Increase taxation and there is talk of increasing all assessments. Mr. Lewis made a good talk against it and hopes that in Jasper county they will be left just as assessed. • It is noticeable that many auto owners are not supplied with the 1913 licenses and it is reported that many have not made application for the new license tags. They are subject to arrest and fine for violation of the law. It Is manifestly unjust for some to pay their tax and others to escape. The only good number now is the yellow background number, with the figures 1913 contained thereon. Fred Llnbaek, on the Tryon farm, has had a lot of bad luck the past few months. Within a year he lost by de-»th three good work horses and five colts, a thousand dollar's worth of horses. The storm a few days ago set fire to a riek of hay and burned it. The riek contained about ten tons. He had SSO worth of insurance but that will not be half the value of the hay.

About all the autos in town were used to transport the people. C. C. Warner and wife took with them his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Warner, who do not get out very often and to whom, the trip and the sight will doubtless prove a great treat A letter from Mrs. George H. Healey, written at Holton, Kans, states that there is much suffering from drouth there. A water famine prevails and the elty plant does not permit the use of water in closets or bath and lawns are burned up and vegetation resembles conditions In the tall. In Missouri, where she visited last week, the crops were fine, oom being especially fine Mrs. Healey will leave in a few days tor Teague, Tex., to visit her sister, Mrs. J. J. LaFlower. • Twin babies, a boy and a girl, were born Wednesday to Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Jobes, of Newland. The girl baby was stillborn. Indications point to the saving of the male ehlld.
