H. KAYE MARTIN A PATENT ATTORNEY

Grandson of Mrs. M. G. Powell One of the Youngest Ever Admitted * to This Practice. H. Kaye Martin, who will probably be remembered here by the name of Harold Martin, was recently admitted to practice before the bar of the* United States patent Of* flee in Washington, D. C. He is only a little past 21 years of age and is probably one of the youngest men ever admitted to practice at that bar. Harold Martin, or as he uses his name, H. Kaye Martin, Is a grandson of Mrs. M. C. Powell and of John W. Powell, a sheriff of this county many years ago. He is a nephew of Mrs. Chas. G. Spitler, of this city, and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Will K. Martin, of Washington, D. C. Young Mr. Martin proved a studious youth while attending the schools of the District of Columbia and he made splendid progress in the study of patent law and it will be good news to the old friends of the family to learn that he has been admitted to practice. Some years ago his mother resided here for several months and Harold attended school while they were here. It is probable that several will remember him.

Delos Thompson witnessed the Pennsylvania - Michigan football game at Ann Arbor last Saturday, and visited his son, Alfred, who Is a student at Ann Arbor. He also saw Miss Selma Leopold, another Rensselaer high school graduate who is attending that college. Michigan defeated Pennsylvania by the score of 13 to 0.

The Lafayette Journal charges that partial officials robbed Purdue of the contest. Chicago defeated Minnesota 13 to 7. Indiana had a difficult time to defeat Northwestern, the score being 21 to 20.

ONLY ONE PUPIL IN COUNTRY GRADES

County Superintendent Lamson Finds Single Student in Mary Classes in Country! Jmm ■ —■■■ All over the state there is a constant cry against the small school. It is a well known fact that a child will do better work when he is in a class with several others.

Of the 87 schools in the county there are only 19 that do not have one or more grades in which there is one child alone in grade. There are five schools which have four grades with only one child in*a grade. There are sixteen, schools which have three grades with only one child in a grade There are thirty-five schools which have two grades with only . one child in a grade. There are nine schools which have one grade with only one child-in a grade

RENSSELAER LOSES HARD GAME 13-7

Quarterback Eigelsbach Makes 90Yard Run in Last Two Minutes Making Our Touchdown. Rensselaer lost a 1 hard-fought battle to Hammond but our speedy little quarterback, .with good interference fun by itanley and others, saved us from a shutout when Eigelsbach carried the ball almost the full length of the field for a touchdown. Captain 'McCarthy made a number of good gains, as did Hanley, while Miller hit the line hard and played a good defensive game. Most every member of the team played a good game but were handicapped by playing in sand, to which they are not used. The Hamrbiond team made gain after gain through the line. The ball changed hands repeatedly, mainly because of fumbles which were usually unavoidable because each man that was tackled came down with a thump. In the first quarter Hammond kicked off but Rensselaer soon lost the ball. Hammond made steady gains to the ten yard line, where they were held for downs. McCarthy ran ten yards and then fumbled the ball, Hanley getting it and running sixty-five yards. A bitter protest was made because Mr. Parrett, who was refereeing, got in the way of one of the players. It was generally agreed that he did his best to get out of the way but Hammond would not have it that way and it was decided to take the ball back half the distance. The first quarter closed 0 to 0. -* Hirsh carried the ball 45 yards and then went 10 yards for a touchdown. The goal was kicked. Hammond kicked off but Rensselaer lost the ball in the next play on a forward pass. The ball was carried 25 yards by Hirsh and then changed hands twice. Pirst half ended with Hammond 7, Rensselaer 0. Hammond kicked off. Rensselaer made a few gains and then N the ball. The ball changed hands a number of times and the quarter ended with the ball on Rensselaer’s 35 yard line. The Hammond end made 10 yards and then the right half went over for the second touchdawn. They failed to kick goal. Hammond kicked off and Rensselaer was held for downs. Hammond was then held and our boys carried the ball to the 30 yard line, where Duvall attempted a drop kick, but the wind carried the ball and it did not go over. Hammond was held. Rensselaer lost eight yards and then McCarthy made twenty. Rensselaer lost the ball on a fumble but Hammond was held and punted to Eigelsbach, who returned the ball ninety yards for a touchdown. Miller then kicked goal. Rensselaer kicked off. Hammond was forced to punt and Eigelsbach returned the ball 30 yards. This ended the game with the score 13 to 7 in favor of Hammond.

SOLD BAD EGGS AND WAS FINED $18

Walkerton Farmer’s Wife Sold 16 Dosen Decomposed Eggs and Almost Went to JaiL Mrs. Ralph Beal, a farmer’s wife, was severely dealt with in the court of Justice Adle, at Walkerton, when arraigned on a charge of selling bad eggs. Justice Adle fined her $lB, and only laughed when she told him she might have to go to jail because of her inability to pay the fine “Any woman who would sell sixteen dozen bad eggs when eggs are selling at from 40 cents to 80 cents a dozen, and hasn’t $lB in her possession, ought to go to jail. It would be just the place for such a woman,” said the court. The defendant said she would try to get the amount. Testimony indicated the woman had intentionally sold the bad eggs. They went to a provision firm at Plymouth, Ind., which reported to John T. Willett, deputy state food inspector. Every one of the eggs in the entire sixteen dozen was spoiled.

TURKEYS WON’T COST CONSUMER SO MUCH

Indications Are for Biggest Crop in a Dozen Years and Oonse- - quently at Smaller Cost. A Chicago paper prints: Thanksgiving turkeys began to arrive here yesterday. Five thousand dry picked birds were in the first lot. They came from Texas and other parts of the southwest. Every day from now on turkeys will get here in constantly increasing numbers. Owing to the dry but mild summer the crop is the biggest in the last dozen years. It is estimated in the local poultry selling district that about 750,000 turkeys have been engaged for shipment to this city. They will come, P. Q. Foy says, from fourteen states, with Texas, Kentucky and Ohio in the lead. There are no last year’s turkeys in cold storage, and all that will be eaten this fall l\ere will be fresh birds. Several thousand turkeys are being imported from Russia, China and Siberia, it is asserted, under the new tariff, which lowers the duty from 6 cents to 2% cents a pound. The price of Thanksgiving turkeys, the dealers say, will not exceed 25 cents a pound, retail, for plump western birds, and will range down to 20 and even 18 cents a pound for thinner specimens. The average price will be three to five cents a pound less than last year. The turkeys from Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia and Tennessee will sell at retail at 25 to 30 cents a pound. Some very choicest Virginia and Maryland birds*, have been contracted for at 35 cents a pound by wealthy New Yorkers. As for quality, the turkeys this fall are fairly fat, the experts say, but not quite as plump as in some previous years. Cranberries are plentiful, and so are the other customary turkey trimmings.
