Dwight Curnick goes to Gary tomorrow, where he will represent Jasper county in the last prelimin-; ary contest of the high school dis* cussion league. This league is a new movement in the state of Indiana and the contest at Bloomington, May 29th, is the first annual contest. The plan jot this organization is that eachWtar a general quettloh. be decided upon for the whole state and through the elimination by various preliminary contests a winner for the state be chosen. Those, contests begin in the individual high schools, the next step being a county contest; then the county winners meet in each congressional district to send a representative from the district to the final state contest. The question for this year is “Indiana’s New Constitution.” Each speaker discusses the questions from his owp standpoint and has eight minutes for his discussion and three minutes for rebuttal. We are glad that Rensselaer is getting in line at the very beginning. It promises well for other years. Dwight Curnick is gifted with oratorical ability as has been evidenced by his recent , work in debating. We feel sure that Jasper county will be well represented and that Rensselaer will have cause to be proud of his part in the contest. ■

Home Town Helps

TREES HELP PUBLIC HEALTH

Besides Purifying the Air, They Help to Make Cooler Summers and Warmer Winters.

Men and animals have good reason for their fondness for trees. It Is not only because the trees add so much to the beauty of our streets, or because the attractiveness of rivers and lakes and even of the seashore depends largely upon the trees that we look upon them as silent friends. They help us in a more material way than with their beauty, great as that help may be. They add to our physical comfort and to our health.

Parris T. Farwell, in his “Village improvement,” urges the necessity of planting and caring for trees for the sakeofthe city’s or village’s beauty and healthfulness. The side of the street having the most trees is the popular side in summer. That is because it is the coolest by about 20 degrees, Mr. Farwell tells us, for “a full grown tree sends out 187 gallons of water through its leaves into the air.” Shading - the ground also serves to moderate the heat. And the air around the trees is more pure. “The foliage takes in carbonic acid gas, which is poisonous to us, and gives out oxygen, which is healthful, Indeed, indispensable to us.” Medical authorities recognize that trees promote the healthfulness of a community.

The tempering effect of trees on the climate Is not confined to summer. In winter they actaally 'radiate heat, ft addition to their benefits as windbreaks when planted In clumps and groves.

That It pays to have trees In the town and city and on the farmstead Is shown by the fact that real estate on shaded streets and that on which trees are growing sells for a better price. No little of the welfare and prosperity of town, city or country depends upon its trees, “and there is a direct connection between the attractiveness of the village or of the home on the farm, and the love of the citizens for their village or of the children on the farm for their home.’*

KEEP BOYS OFF THE STREET

Authority on the Subject Pointe Out How Playgrounds Help to Develop Useful Citizens. Addressing a Philadelphia audience, Ernest K. Coulter, who can qualify as an authority on child problems, declared that more than half the cases brought before the children’s court grew out of a thwarted desire for play. Very frequently the" craving for exeitement and adventure, which more fortunate youths may gratify in athletic Contests, drive the street boy to minor crime, then into the world of graft and gangs. So-called reformatories and prisons under the present system operate to keep him there, once he has been convicted.

The remedy is playgrounds, and more playgrounds. Philadelphia is doing some work in this field, with its recreation centers and playgrounds and gymnasiums. But the work cannot now reach half of those who need it. Money spent for its extension is a splendid investment, bearing interest in useful citizens rather than loafers and lawbreakers.

Monuments in Poor Locations.

The recently issued report of the New York art commission contains the following: “From time to time, there have been submitted to the commission designs of monuments (chiefly statuary, fountains and the like) completely executed, with the bronze parts cast, the marble or granite cut and the entire monument ready to be set up. Often the entire work has been completed In a foreign country, with utter disregard to the location in which it is proposed that the monument shall be placed. They are. designed for an abstract location, that is to say, for any location, but search for a suitable location nearly always results in failure.

“Most persons seem to have lost sight of the fact that many of the beautiful monuments of the past were designed sites, and consequently that the monument was made to fit Into its surroundings. “Our American cities, having in most cases no important civic or religious centers, have grown without any intelligent or comprehensive plan, and monuments have been lodged here and there in streets and parks like driftwood. In only a few instances are they definitely related to anything in their vicinity, so as to form part of a comprehensive scheme. There is no more forlorn looking object than a granite monument placed in the middle of a green lawn. It Is a foreigner to all its nearest neighbors. Recently it has come to be recognized that cities should be built according to a distinct plan, and that the various parts and objects in the city should bear a direct relation not only to one another, but to their surroundings.'*

First Things to Be Considered.

Health, beauty, and comfort Stand higher than do the rights ot the land ■peculator.

Gasoline and Oil Stoves ■ — I " 1 - -" - “——.- ( • We want each and every woman who needs a gasoline or oil stove, to call at our store and see the “Detroit Vapor” gasoline, and the “Quick Meal” oil stove. The “Detroit Vapor” is the best gasoline stove in use today. Owing to the absense of large sheet metal tubes or pipes, such as are used in the construction of all new process gasoline stoves, it has no place for the accumulation of gas to cause explosions, which frequently occur with other stoves. The “Detroit Vapor” has a more powerful and efficient burner than any other stove. It is easy to clean and operate, and is so constructed that the cheaper grades of gasoline may be used in it successfully. We have this stove in several styles and sizes. It must be seen in operation to be appreciated. The “Quick Meal” oil stove is also the acme of perfection in oil stove construction. The new lifting device attached to each burner, is the most notablegof'the many improvements made in this year’s stove. This feature eliminates the smoke and odor experienced in using the old style oil stoves. It is also made in all of the modern designs and sizes. Do not fail to see these stoves before you buy. E. D. RHOADES & Son; -. ' x

An Afternoon Marriage At the Court House.

Wilbur Lucas, of Portland, Oregon, and Miss Violet Summers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Summers, of Barkley township, were married at the clerk’s private office in. the court house Thursday afternoon at 4 o’clock.

At the second day’s session of the Illinois State Medical society at Decatur Wednesday, Dr. Charles M. Jacobs, of Chicago, announced that several new feats of surgery had beep discovered in the treatment of Potts disease, the angular curvature of the spine. He declared decayed vertebrae could not be replaced by bone transplantation.

Two hundred employes of the Ford plant at Detroit, recently laid off for thirty Mays during the “quiet season,” and other job seekers were drenched by a hose in the hands of Foid guards Wednesday morning when they made an ineffectual attempt ’to storm the employmentbureau of the Gray Construction company, which is erecting a SIOO,000 addition to the Ford, works.

The Goteborg System.

'The “Goteborg System” works like aicharm. Before It was adopted Norwsiy consumed more alcohol per Inhabitant than any other country In Europe, but, owing to the "Goteborg System,” it is now one of the most temperate of all lands. In other words, only a fourth of the quantity of ardent .spirits is consumed in Norway per inlhabltant as compared with the consumption before the system went into operation. The saving to the people in dollars reaches into the millions, and crime has practically been eliminated. The death rate as the immediate result of alcoholism has dropped from 33 per 10,000 of the population to *lO.

The Midnight Sun.

The “Midnight Sun" is not visible south of the Polar circle. It is above the horizon throughout the twentyfour hours at Bodo from June 8 to July'7; at Tromso from the 19th of May to the 22d of July, and at the North Gape from the 12th of May to the 29th of July. There are corresponding periods during December, January and November when the sun Is notseen. But the darkness of the Winter is by no moans so great as mdghtdx imagined. The whiteness of the snow and the glimmer of the "Northern Lights” make a sort of perpetualttwilight

The Debtor’s Refuge.

Al young Bloomsbury dramatic author land critic was up as a judgment and said he had no engagement Lawjrer—Well, how are you living? j Critic— My wife has a little money. Judge* Bacon —He has found a haven of rest, but his wifo cannot be compelled to jpay his debts. (Laughter). A rich wife is, to some, a trade like many others. She may love him and choose toi do it (Laughter). When a man is tin debt and the pressure of poverty comes, the finer feelings go away through the window. (Laughter).

Plucked Fowls.

A plucked fowl should not be discolored. The flesh should be pink or yellow, (according to breed. Stales are btuidh, often green, over the crop. The skim tears easily. Stiff, dry feet belong to* stales.

Europe's Onerous Burden. In foreign lands the question of armament (is discussed in conjunction with treasury deficits. In Germany Innrmaaefl ‘taxation is grumbled at; Jagani hasAalready curtailed her military axpessditnres for lack of revenues, while tin tamgland an almost certain fsTHnjr off} 0f^525,000,000 in revenue is foreseen, and* a demand for at least >60,004),000\ new expenditure has been created by} the enactment of service legislation f coupled with the institu- | lion of oldi-age pension.

The experimental stage of Republican classified ads passed long, long ago. We placed the rate at about half the price charged in most cities of this size. This made it possible to advertise the IFtle things that otherwise would have been wasted. The. result has been tremendously satisfactory to our customers and ourselves. We have established regular customers who have tried over and over again and who make a profit of many dollars by advertising the little things. We expect our classified column to continue to grow. It started with a quarter of a column and now it is almost two columns. Three classified advertisements have been telephoned to this office in the past half hour. We make a ticket against you if you telephone the ad and collect later. Our phone number is 18. We like to have you call and hope to have you try advertising, believing you will became a regular customer. Call today.
