Horticultural Demonstration At Tefft On April 6th.

County Agent Barrett, with a representative from the horticultural department of Purdue; will be at, J. W. Mannan’s farm, one-half mile south of Tefft, on Monday, April 6th, for a demonstration on pruning, spraying and other work regarding the farm orchard. The time was when our fruit trees could be set out and with little, care or attention would in time come into bearing and make a profit without much expense, but with the increase of diseases and the decrease of protection we find that it isbecessary to put our time and energy against these various destructive agencies to make the orchards even yield us what fruit of suitable character we want tor home use, where with proper care it might be and should be made to produce a good profit and in many cases we know of its producing a better profit than any other piece of ground of equal area on the farm. Mr. Durham is well prepared to answer any questions which may come up and this is your charice to ask questions and get answers first hand from a good reliable source, iso come out to the meeting and show this man that Tefft is one locality that is wide awake. O. G. BARRETT.

SPLENDID CONVENTION EVERY PERSON SAID

Republicans Pleased With the Gathering Here and Prophesy Success in Fall Election. Republicans were rejoiced at the splendid gathering here Monday and with the enthusiasm that marked the convention that named one of the finest tickets ever put out in Jasper county. There was the very best feeling throughout and no room for sore spot®. The candidates had made dignified campaigns and the result expressed the unquestioned choice of the delegates and in most instances one of the losing candidates moved that the convention make the nomination unanimous. There was evidence’ on all hand® that there was a general turning back to the republican party. Many excellent men who had disapproved the Chicago convention and who had supported Theodore Roosevelt because they believed in him, never had any intention of leaving the republican party and are back in the ranks and ready" to promote every honest effort to bring about republican success and to support the nominees of the party tor the offices they seek. These men will expect and have a right to demand as we all should regard it a duty that the republican party adopt measures of progress and take a more aggressive stop than ever before in securing the adoption of laws that will make tor greater general prosperity. The Republican has frequently said and the writer firmly believes that if the great progressive numbers who voted for Theodore Roosevelt would throw their support to the republican party and urge that party to enact rational reforms it will respond cheerfully to their wishes. The reforms can not be ptoqured by division and many of the leaders of the departure two years ago are now back in ranks determined to make a united stand for democratic defeat. The speech of Hon. Will R. Wood, of Lafayette, was heartily approved by all who heard it. Mr. Wood quotd some figures to show the increase in importations of grain in 1913 over 1912, which were sufficient .to convince any person that the principal of protection one that demands the support of the farmer, the laboring man and the manufacturer.

Mr. Wood will pKSbably receive the republican nomination for congress and he as the style of man who will make us all proud to have him as our representative. He has had many yeais of experience in the state legislature, where he has Stood fast for economy, progress and honesty in all matters of law making. Mr. Wood has many close friends in Jasper county, who are greatly interested tn his nomination. Among these is Attorney Frank Foltz, who was raised with Mr. Wood in Benton county And has known him since boyhood. \ He believes him to be in every way fitted for the office and certain to bring credit to the district. Republicans are headed right and those who voted outside the party because they did not like President Taft know-that Mr. Taft is no longer an issue before the people and they are rational enough to see

Canceled “Peck’s Bad Boy” On Advice From Monticello.

Manager George this morning received a telephone message from Manager Miatthews, of one of the Momtieello picture play houses, stating that “Peck’s Bad Boy” was not up to expectations or to the representations made by the promoters and advised Manager George to cancel the show, which he promptly did. Mr. George had advertised the performance extensively, expecting that it would be especially interesting for the children, but will not permit it to be shown since deceiving the adverse criticism. The discovery was made too late to inform the public in advance of the matinee hour, but the regular pictures will be shown both this afternoon and tonight, good film® being provided for all performances; This action on the part of Manager George deserves the approval of the public and the community as well and Manager George is under obligations to Manager Matthews, of Monticello, for the warning.

Resignation of Rev. Winn As Christian Church Pastor.

Rev. W. G. Winn, pastor of the Christian church and one of the most popular ministers who ever held a church pastorate here, has tendered his resignation and will leave Rensselaer within the next few months. He has not determined upon a location and will probably deliver trial sermons at several places within the next few weeks. No immediate steps will be taken to choose his successor here. 'Rev. Winn is a preacher of far above ordinary ability and his sermons have attracted many outside the church, while his energetic work as pastor has resulted in a great improvement in the church organization. ■ When he came less than three years ago the church was still quite a little in debt. His first labor was to pay this off. Then came the task of making extensive iminvolving a big change in the arrangement of the church, the making of a basement which provided a large dining room and a large kitchen and rest rooms. Also the installation of a new and adequate heating plant. Rev. Winn was active in doing the actual work and the splendid result is a credit’ to his supervision, together with that of F. M. Parker, chairman of the building committee. In all departments of the Church his efficiency was shown and his decision to go to a new field found much determined opposition. His resignation was presented to the board of trustees about a month ago with the understanding that it wias to remain a secret until he had definitely determined on a location. The secret, however, did not keep and the entire congregation was soon aware of the fact and Sunday a business session was called and Rev. Winn read his resignation, which was accepted at his earnest request. The entire community will regret Rev. Winn’s removal, for during his pastorate it is certain that a closer relation between the protestant churches of Rensselaer has resulted than ever before, while his broad charity has led him to take an active interest in the welfare of the community in all respects. It is to be hoped that a successor can be procured who can so acceptably fill the joint fields of preacher, pastor and citizen.
