Match It—Who Can Twenty years ago a gentleman in Rensselaer took out a Three Thousand 20 payment life policy in the Northwestern Mutual. Herewith I give the settlement of this policy this week: Earnings ...$706.13 Cash Value $1,445.73 Total Cash $2,151.86 Premium $90.36 for twenty years, $1,807.20. This gentleman had $3,000 protection for twenty years, and the grand old Northwestern Mutual paid him back $344.66 more than it cost him, -or almost 4% per cent on his money invested. I have other instances equally good of settlements in this county recently made. If you want life insurance you are entitled to the best, and the Northwestern has demonstrated time and again that it is the best company for the policy holder. A policy on your life would be the finest present you could give your wife. I defy any company anywhere to show the above result. This happened at home and right now. Do results actually shown appeal more than 'the wind of the agent? Remember, this company pays more dividends than any company, and every policy holder is a booster. If you’re in the. Northwestern you are glad to say so. “It’s right if I write it.” ARTHUR TUTEUR, District Agent * $5.00 Given On Each of the FoDowing Dates: Wednesday, Nov. 26 Wednesday, Dec. 3 Wednesday, Dec. 10 Wednesday, Dec. 17 Wednesday, Dec. 24 Wednesday, Dec. 31.

V ' m Game Warden Says Only 150 Have Been Taken Out—Thinks There Should Have Been "600. P. M. Kent, of Brookston, a game warden, was in Rensselaer over night. He went to the county clerk’s office and found £hat only 150 hunters’ licenses have been procured in this county since the new law went into effect last April. He believes that fully 500 licenses should have been issued by this time and judges that there are a great many persons hunting without the formality of getting legal privilege as granted by a license. Mr. Kent "States that between 500 and 600 licenses have been granted in White county. He says that game wardens are apt to drop in and make it expensive at any time for those who fail to comply with the law. He also says that the game wardens would much rather'that every hunter procure a license and thus avoid arrest. That is the purpose of the law and the game wardens make arrests as a measure of enforcing the law and not as a persecution. All persons are required to have licenses under the new law. It was formerly not required to have a license to hunt in your own township but not it is necessary to have a license unless you confine your hunting to your own farm. Mr. Kent suggested that the next time he comes to Jasper county he is apt to be accompanied by one or two other game wardens and work about the county and that arrests of those who have not taken out licenses will follow. Lea Prickette, a young man of 24 years, is now in the county jail, laying out a sl2 fine for hunting without a license. Priqketfce told game wardens Jake Havel and George Wyatt, who arrested him, that his home was at Waynetown. He was hunting on the Kankakee, where Havel and Wyatt maintain a camp for the purpose of catching game law violators. He was brought to Rensselaer Wednesday evening and Squire Irwin fined him the' minimum amount and there was no prosecutor’s fee and the wardens did not put in a claim for witness fees, which they had a right to do. Prickette was hunting with a borrowed gun. The gun belonged to an Illinois man, according to Havel, whom he has reason to believe is hunting without a non-resi-dent’s licehse. Havel confiscated the gun until the owner comes for it-when he will be placed under arrest. Havel also picked up another hunter without a license Wednesday, his name being Burdette Sanger, of Lowell. He was taken before Squire Woodcox, of Lowell, and fined $17.50, which he paid. A license costs only $1 and, seems much the cheaper as well as the safer way. Clerk Perkins has plenty of licenses and all who contemplate hunting should get busy. The quail season closes on Dec. 20th and the rabbit season on Jan. 20th.

Muiscal Treat to Be Given By Students of High School.

On next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, the 9th and 10th, the music department of the local high school will present something that Is absolutely new to Rensselaer, both in form and content, namely, “The Merry Milkmaids.” This is an operetta and such will be sung from beginning to end. It is not a disconnected series of solos, etc., but a clever combination of chorus, duet and quartet work, all arranged so as to tell a charming rural love story in a lightly humorous vein. The beauty of the story and music will be enhanced by the costumes and youth of the performers. The high school possesses some unusually fine voices and those in charge are enthusiastic over the prospects. This is a fine opportunity tor the public to judge of the work of the music department as well as to encourage the worthy object they have In view. Tickets will be on sale at the Ellis opera house Saturday morning.

“ALFALFA KING” TO VISIT OUR CITY

Joseph E. Wing,. Leading Agriculturist, to Give Lecture and Demonstration. Dec. 11. Arrangements have now been completed for the best demonstration and lecture on alfalfa ever held in this part of Indiana. Joseph E. Wing is the. greatest authority on alfalfa in the land and I feel sure we* should consider ourselves lucky to have with us a man of such prominence and a man of so wide learning as is Joe Wing. The demonstration will be held on Ms. C. E. Mansfield’s farm, in his 70-acre field, 7 miles southeast of this city, and the lecture will be given in the new high school auditorium at 7:30 in the evening, on Thursday, Dec. 11th. This is something that no farmer or business man can well afford to miss, for it is one of the best things of this nature that ever eame to this county or neighborhood. There will be several of the staff of Purdue University here to attend the meetings, among them being Prof. G. I. of the extension department, whom you all know, and. others of the staff who are making the trip for the express purpose of hearing Joe Wing talk on alfalfa, and if they come that distance to hear him then surely every man within a radius of several miles should arrange td be at these meetings. O. G. Barrett, C. A.

Indications are that there will be from 100 to 150 go to Chicago on the early train Friday morning. John Priest, traveling passenger agent tor the Monon, came today to inform the boosters that he has provided for their convenience an extra coach with capacity for 100 passengers and has arranged to have two street cars meet the delegation at Forty-Seventh street and transport them to the stock yards.

J. J. Lawler, Who offered to give dinners to all who will come, has sent word that he is glad there are to be so many and that he has decided to give them their suppers as well as their dinners. This was certainly good news to all. County Agent Barrett has planned to give the visit of the Jasper county boys and girls considerable notoriety and will write an article for The Breeders’ Gazette about the trip. He will also call the offices of The Tribune and The Record Herald and advise them of the visit afid it is not Improbable that one or the other of those papers will send a photographer to the stock yards to get a group .picture of the visitors. A very pleasant day is in prospect and ail look forward to it with pleasant anticipation.
