M. Sauser has remembered The Republican office this year with several gallons oif fresh cider and it has been much enjoyed.

He is the first male student to attend that school from Rensselaer for several years. Fred will live at the “Beta” fraternity house and will take a general college course. He is one of the 1913 graduates from the Rensselaer high school. It is probable that Rensselaer will have only three young men in Purdue University this year, namely, Faye Clarke, Virgil Robinson and Simon Thompson, the latte* being the only new student from here. Simon was there Tuesday, arranging to enter. The other boys have also gone there, although the school does not openuntil next week.

Steward Hammond, who has been with his son; Charles G. Hammond, at Big Rapids, Mich., for several weeks, was brought back to Rensselaer Monday night by his grandson, Ralph Hammond, and will remain here with his son, County Auditor Hammond. Ralph went to Lafayette yesterday to reenter Purdue.

Andrew Gangloff and wife have leased their fine farm east of Rensselaer to their three sons, Andy, John and Clemens, for a period of five years. The boys have been farming it in connection with their parents, but will hereafter run it on their own hook. Included with the lease was the sale by the parents to their sons of all the personal property required to run the farm, including the horses, cows and farming implements. Having sold their city property to Frank Kresler and being required to move by the first of next March, Mr. and Mrs. Gangloff are now looking for other property to either buy or rent. If they do not find something to suit them here Mrs. Gangloff states that they think seriously of returning to Washington, 111., to reside. Their friends here, however, will try to talk them odt of any such notion.

Roe Yeoman sent three peaches to The Republican office this week that were certainly great beauties in looks and flavor. The three weighed 27 ounces. There are probably a number of trees of the same kind of peaches in various parts of Jasper county. Whether they came from seed accidentally dropped or from nursery stock the owners frequently not know and unfortunately the owners rarely have more than one ot two trees of this splendid variety. The peaches would readily bring $2 a bushel in the local market, and an orchard of that kind would bring a fine fortune to its owner. Every person who procures a seed from a large home-grown peach should plant it, notwithstanding the theory that peaches do not grow true to the sfeed. To save trouble for Mr. Yeoman and those who would like to buy some of his peaches, let us say that he has none for sale. „The samples sent to The Republican were too ripe to make an exhibit of and too tempting to refrain from eating. It would certainly be a grand thing if these peaches could be grown in large orchards and were a dependable crop each season.

Showers reported from many parts of Kansas. Oklahoma, and Missouri, and lower temperatures quite general over the three states Monday, afforded more general relief from the heat than had been experienced by the people of this southwestern section on any other day since the protracted drought began.

Mr. and Mrs. Lacy R. Gwin will leave this afternoon for their home in Galveston, Tex., after a brief visit here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Gwin, and other relatives. Since Lacy came north last week his brother, Perry, who recently came out of Mexico, has gone to Galveston, and will probably remain for some time at Lacy’s home.

The big navy dry dock at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, which recently collapsed after the government had spent several million dollars in its construction, can be saved and finished according to the original design, is the opinion of Alfred Noble, an engineering expert, who was sent to inspect it.

The White County Progressive, printed at Chalmers, after a lingering existence of 49 weeks, expired last Friday of inanition, starvation, etc. It came into the world a promising infant with bright prospects and every evidence of a sturdy development, but it did not thrive and dwindled from week to week until its death last week.—Monticello Journal
