Mrs. Will Rishling returned to Crawfordsville today after spending a week here with her mother, Mrs. H. W. Wood, Sr. Mr. Wood is still in the hospital in Chicago,' but is making such good improvement now that it is expected he can be brought home within a few days. St. Viator’s college at Kankakee will furnish the next baseball game at St. Joseph’s college and a great game is in prospect. It will be played next Wednesday afternoon. When the local college lads went to Kankakee recently they played St. Viator’s to a standstill, the game going for thirteen innings and St. Viator being the victor. The score was 3 to 2. The college is going strong now and hope to Win in what will probably be the hardest game of the year. The week just closing has been an ideal one for com planting and a numiber of farmers who are Ln town today report that they have completed planting, but there is still a large amount of planting to be done, while a number of fields are still unplowed. Except in very lOw places the ground is In splendid condition and just a little raijk would be a good thing now. There are-some fields of corn up far enough to be plowed and occasionally one will see a field that has been worked over the first time. Order a rubber stamp today from The Republican.
