The County Agent Probelm.

The action of the Jasper • county council in refusing to appropriate hinds provided by law to aid 1 in the expense of continuing the present office of our county ' agent arouses some feeling on the part of those who/contributed toward the first SSOO ‘necessary to secure action, to obtain the same. It seems that many do not understand the work of pur agricultural schools.

I have heard many men make slighting remarks concerning Purdue University. It is high time that the farmers of Jasper county know the objeet of agricultural work in schools and universities. Their work has a direct bearing on the farmers' institutes and the county agent may be the means of bringing the results of experimental work directly to the people. Some say: “No wonder Purdue makes a suceess of farming, when it has the backing of the big state of Indiana. I eould make a success too if I had the support of the state.” * As a matter of fact, Purdue farm-, ing is not done on a paying basis. The agricultural college would go into bankruptcy if it had to depend upon the income from its own resources to pay its expenses. This is as it should be. There may possibly he one or two branches of their work that do not low them money. It is a school of experiment and investigation. In feeding stock, for instance, the stock is divided into pens and each pen is fed different rations. They know that some of the feeding will not pay to follow up before they begin the feeding test. They are satisfied which kind of feeding and methods of handling stock has so far brought the best results in putting on, flesh, and quality of same, but they are trying to find but a still better way to feed, and quicker methods of finishing the animal at a less cost than we yet know of. These feeding tests are carried on not just one year or on one bunch of stock, hut for several years and on different hunches of stock; and at different seasons of tMe year. We all know that some years certairf kinds of hay and grain have a higher feeding value than during other years. Only after such a series of experimehts can they confidently pronounce one method better, quicker and cheaper than another. All these experiments take time and cost money. Each reed is carefully weighed as are also the animals at stated times to determine the exact effect on the animals at different periods of the experiment.

Live stock is only one small branch of the work at any agricultural school. The work on sdils is carried on with the same exactness. The object is this: to establish beyond a doubt the best paying methods, with the least amount of labor and expense,' by which we farmers can proceed in order to make a livlihood for ourselves and families and at the same time be able to enjoy life as we go along. Many farmers have made money and are still doing it, who are way behind the times in their methods. Why not he satisfied there? We must not he satisfied as long as there is a better way to do things. We must try to either make more money 'or make it more easily. The present generation of hoys and girls demand more rest and enjoyment and better homes and less grind, hard work and discomfort than did ourgrandparents. If they do not get these things they will not get that which belongs to them and is within their reach, providing the parents are progressive. Let us not go backward. Let us step forward and grasp every means at hand for improving our condition. Let us cheerfully back up the efforts of our agricultural schools and profit by their experiments in our behalf. Let us support our agricultural agent and with his assistance find -the cause of some of our weaknesses and failures in farming. Thereby we may be able to make a living easier and have more time to enjoy the good things of life. Our county agent’s business is to help every farmer in Jasper county to solve problems ,in agriculture. Mr. Barrett is very desirous of doing this and will gladly respond to any call from any fanner or group of farmers. In conclusion I should like tt ask if it is not rather unusual to judge any business, and especially one so slow to show returns as farming, on a sixty day trial. With the amount of money involved, and the many days of work already done to secure this office for our county, It seems only fair to suspend judgment until given a further trial. The low governing the county agent is a state law, and by the act of .rejecting our own agent we cannot escape paying our pro rate of taxation to help keep up the work of other counties that are fortunate enougji to see their opportunities and desire to be in the front rank.

Caught a Bad Gold. “Last winter my son caught a very bad cold and the way he coughed was something dreadful,” writes Mrs. Sarah E. Duncan, of Tipton, lowa. ’We thought sure he was going into consumption. We bought just one bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and that one bottle stopped his cough and cured his cold completely.” For sale by A. F. Long. C

THE EVENING EEPIJBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND

COLLEGEVILLE.

The twenty-third scholastic year was opened .last Wednesday morning with the celebration of solemn high mass by Rev. C. Mafr, Dunkirk, Ind., Rev. I. Collins, C. PP. S., acted as deacon, / Rev. A. Linneman, C. PP. S., master of ceremonies. During the vacation days a number of important improvements were made in the buildings and about the premises. The main building has been entirely refreshed. And the tin and copper work has been renewed and new skylights put in. The students’ office has been removed from the prefect’s office to a separate room near the main entrance. The wooden stairway in the students’ department has-been replaced by a cement and iron structure. The entire interior of Wyenger ball has also been daintily frescoed. Minor improvements have also been made on the college lawn, especially on th& interior court. The slow work at the gymnasium and the science hall has been disappointing. There have been a number of unforseen delays, mainly in getting the timbers for the raising of the building. However, on Thursday morning all was in readiness and th§ massive structure began to rise upward supported by some five hundred iron jacks. Mr. Medland, the brick contractor, is getting in material and the work will now he pushed with all possible haste so the work will he complete in contract time. Two changes were made in the faculty. Rev. Rugo Lear, LX PP. S., is president in place of V. Rev. Aug. Seifert, C. PP. S. The other vacancy was caused by the resignation of Rev. G. Hartjens, C. PP. S. I. Collins, C. PP. S., and Rev. A. Linneman, C. BP. S., have been appointed to fill the vacancies; the former will assist in the Latin, English and History departments, the latter in mathematics, Latin and German. Both graduated from St. Joseph’s in the class of 1907, taking their degree A. B. Last June they both graduated from St. Charles Seminary, Carthagena, Ohio,* y and were ordained priests by Rt. Rev. Henry Moeller, Archbishop of Cincinnati. Rev. P. A. Kanney, C. PP. S., A. 8., was appointed to the postmastership, which office was vacated by the resignation of Father Seifert.

The attendance is large beyond- all expectations. Alb the available space has been taken up. The number of applications that were received during the summer was sufficient to fill the house. Those now arriving without attending the formality of applying will be forced to go elsewhere for lack of accommodations here. There are now over twenty on the waiting list for entrance. It is also an interesting fact that a large number of the students come from the more distant states. There have formerly been few those states but this year the number has greatly increased.

All indications are that this will be another very successful year. The faculty will spare no effort to make it thus, and the student body has already caught the real St. Joseph's spirit and their hearts and souls will be in their play and in their work. The athletic department will be at some disadvantage owing to the condition of the gymnasium. The outlook for a strong basket ball team is splendid, and the fact that the playing floor will not be disturbed by the raisers will aid in getting the team started early. The first few weeks now will be devoted to baseball. Thomas Harrington, ,A. 8., ’l3, Columbus, Ohio, has gone to Rome, Italy, to continue his studies in philosophy and theology. Walter S. Reiniek, A. B. ’l2, is the American class leader at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. Henry Grimmelsmann, ’O9, Herman Gabel, ’lO, Cyrus Staib, ’lO, are students at the same university." '

At 3:30 o’clock Wednesday morning Brother John Spaeth, C. PP. S., died in the college infirmary. He had reached the good old age of 81 years, having befeqf born in Austria in 1832. During the French-Aus-trian wars in the middle of the last ceiitury he saw active; service with the Austrian troops against the French in Italy. In 1862 he emigrated to America, and in the same year entered the Community of the Precious Blood at (Minster, Ohio. Since that time'he has been a faithful member. His first years were spent at the different houses of the society in Ohio. In 1893 he was transferred to Collegeville, where he remained until his death. By trade he k was a tailor, and was always engaged In that work. During the last few years his health has been failing, but until a few weeks ago when he was forced by weakness to take permanently to hie bed, his little failing strength was given to his daily tasks. He lived the lowly life of an umble Brother. His disposition was ever genial, and his character upright and sincere. He leaves but a few distant relatives in Europe to mourn his loss.

buti Instead of a host of college friends will regret to learn that he ‘is with us no more. All the “old boys" knew him, but to love and respect, the present stuednt body, to love and revere. His was a life well spent; not with the flourish of trumphets and ambition’s hurrah, but with a well-meaning charity that will endure in the hearts of all those whose pleasure it was to know him to the end ol their days.

Founding Postoffice Fight Of Rankest Misrepresentation.

Based upon tfie entirely false claim that N. Littlefield will remove the from its present location if he is appointed postmaster Frank E. Babeoek has busied himself for several days in trying to induce businessmen in the west part of the business section to; write, telegraph or sign petitions to Congressman Peterson asking that Babcock and not Littlefield be appointed. Naturally some wellmeaning businessmen have fallen for the false statement and for the very contemptible political scheme and have signed the petition with: out having given Mr. Littlefield any opportunity to make a/State; ment. Mr. Littlefield was seen by The Republican editor this Thursday afternoon and stated that hd had never given the matter of changing the location of the postoffice any consideration whatever. He has no business property, not even an office, in Rensselaer, and the present location is just as suitable as any place for him and if he is appointed he will keep the office right- where it is. Mr. Littlefield and his friends did not learn until Wednesday night that the very dirtiest sort of politics were being played to influence businessmen against his appointment and he has spent today setting those right who had been deceived. -

As a matter of fact, and Mr. Babeo’ck and his handful of democratic supporters well know that the gov-: ernment gave a 10-years-lease when the postoffice was moved to its present location some five years ago. They know that the lease will not expire until after Mr. Littlefield’s first term of office expires, if he is appointed at this dime, and in the face of this knowledge they have made the most disgraceful misrepresentations with the hope of defeating Mr. Littlefield, the leader of the democratic party in Jasper county, for the office. It is not believed, however, that Congressman' Peterson will he influenced by methods and it is quite, sure that the great body of honest democrats ~>ln Rensselaer and Jasper county will not ap : prove of the methods Babcock has employed, and will express their disapproval by getting behind Mr. Littlefield’s candidacy with their forceful assistance.

Nathan Fendig Is In Very Critical Condition.

Nathan Fendig, who was rushed to Chicago Tuesday afternoon after a specialist had been called here to operate, is now in a very critical condition at the Michael Rees hospital.

Benhart Fendig, who accompanied his father to the hospital, remained there untill 9 o’clock Wednesday night and then returned home. He realizes that his father’s condition lends but faint prospect of relief and it is of grave uncertainty as to whether he can be returned here from the hospital.
