Lawn Judge Will Be Here Sunday; Every One Clean Up.

Get busy now and ' > Clean the yard; The time is short, So let’s work hard;._ The judge is' coming To gjve the prize So pull up the weeds And swat the flies. ,<. J. H. Holden arranged at Purdue Thursday Lor one of the professors to come here Sunday morning and judge the premises for the award of prizes which are to be given. -Since the rains the grass hfis grown very rapidly and Rensselaer ‘is not looking quite as well, as it did a year ago when the lawns were judged. In fact, there are weeds and rubbish along the streets in many places and it will take a lot of work to get things “dolled” up for inspection, but if all will work much can be accomplished. Especially should all who have "worked hard on their places this summer leave nothing undbhe now, for the judge will criticise the little things and a few small weeds, an untrimmed tree or a little tall grass work against the chance of getting in for a prize or for favorable mention.

WEATHER FORECASTS

Through the efforts of John E. Alter, crop reporter for Jasper county, and the kindness, courtesy,and co-operation of the weather bureau and the Jasper County Telephone Company, we are getting weather forecasts now every day. Late onions, potatoes and corn may all be protected from killing frosts by the smoke process, after which they are likely to have three or four weeks of good vyeather to develop. Chips, wood, coal, sawdust or muck will make smoke, but the most effective plan Is )x> use crude ro€k oil, at a cost of about 3 cents a gallon, burned in smudge pots. These pots are cheap and can be had at most of the mail order houses. The oil, called crude oil, smudge oil, or orchard heating oil, is of great value also as a weed-ex-tinguisher, and is one of the best sprays for 4 ( oichard trees. It ean be ordered frdm- the Standard Oil Co. We hope many muck truck farmers in the county will take an interest in this matter and give it a fair trial. You will be well paid for your trouble of sitting up with even a small patch of late green corn, one or even two nights, or if you get the frost warning at 10 a. m., hire a dozen men and put yodr whole field of green corn in shock or.in the silo before night and make it worth a hundred dollars more. Any one interested can get these washings at the telephone office free.

Jumped From Snake; Fell And Broke His Left Arm.

Henry Marcus, about 46 years of age and a resident of Newland, was working fn the field near his home Wednesday when he saw a snake.

While Mr. and Mrs. Colton were playing at The Princess this week they arranged to have their 'little daughter, 8 years of age, enter Monnett School for Girls in Rensselaer and she will come from Newark, N. J., to enter the school within a few days.

JOEL MOSSBERG IS GIFTED AND FAMOUS

To Sing on Chautauqua Program In This City This Season. Worcester (Mass.) Svea, March.— “The next number on the program belonged to the prominent baritone, Joe) Mossberg of Chicago. He made'his Worcester debut with the prologue from ‘Pagllacci.’ Greeted by storming applause upon his entrance on the stage, the applause after the song became an ovation. Of a singer with so stately, an appearance one expects stately things, and the audience was not deceived. The way Mr. Mossberg rendered the prologue has never before been beard in Worcester. The delivery of this difficult aria was dramatic, effervescent with life and color, and Mr. Mossberg’s voice was resonant in all its registers, his brilliant high tones ringing and bell-like in a way one seldom finds in the most gifted baritones of international fame. In

JOEL MOSSBERG, BARITONE.

one word, the prologue was sung Friday evening in a way that could only bfe done by a great singer and an artist, who has the advantage of voice resources extraordinary, and the public rewarded him with tremendous applause, to which he responded with the ‘Toreador’ from ‘Carmen.’ To sing so taxing an encore after such a big number as the prologue was almost too much to expect, but we by this time expect almost anything of Mr. Mossberg, and the ‘Toreador’ was greeted with : storm of applause well deserved.” Mr. Mossberg will arpear in this city on the Lincoln Chautauqua program on the sixth day. Ho is a member of the National Grand Opera Company, which will sing the preludes to Congressman Fred B. Jackson’s addressee. Lincoln Chautauqua to be held in Rensselaer, Sept. 12th to 17th,

Class Scraps Are Daily Indulgence of H. S. Boys.

The planting of a junior flag on the pole at the top of the Water tower, precipitated some very active class rivalry at the schoolhouse and the seniors and sophomores on one side and the juniors and freshmen on the other have been indulging themselves in a lot of pranks during the week. The most ferocious of the engagements occurred Thursday evening, with the barn on the Dr. Turfler property as the theatre of action. Although taken down each night the juniors had succeeded in replanting their .flag on the water tower each night and the seniors and sophomores combined after school Wednesday evening and after routing the secluded juniors and their allies, tlie freshmen, from their hiding place in the Turfler haymow, bound them up and took them t othe stockpen and tied them there, painting their faces and leaving them, prisoners until about 8:30, when they were released by “the bloody six.” Whether this rivalry will wear out before some one gets injured or the discipline of the school impaired is hard to tell, but it has always impressed us as the utmost folly and the sooner broken up the better for all participants and the welfare of the schools.

Monnett School For Girls OpenedWith 23 Pupils.

Monnett School for Girls opened Wednesday, Sept. 2, with twentythree students. Several students who have been registered have not yet entered and the school will probably be filled by the end of the first month. Misses Simpson, Wilcox, Waymire and House and Mrs. Barr, of last year’s teaching force, are in their respective places this year and Miss Clara M. Stacy, of Cincinnati, is the new grammar teacher. Quite a number of improvements have been made this summer and school rooms and dormitories have been made comfortable and attractive. The year opens with every promise of improvement.

BOOSTER IS A CHAP WHO WILL NOT DOWN

Man Who Believes In Now and Is Chautauqua Fan. ■ A booster is a man who undertakes to do a thing that should be done for the common benefit of the people. He is a man who believes actively that things should be done and kept as well as they could be done and kept. He believes In patches on clothes, but not In dirty clothes. He believes in roads, but In good roads only. A booster believes that children can have just as much fun and a good deal more in playing “three deep” or

“handball’’ with bls neighbors than he could liave in smoking cigarettes or playing poker in the hayloft of his neighbor’s barn. Of course, he knows that in the former case he must give the children a very small amount of attention, directly and indirectly. A booster is a man who believes in himself and believes In his neighbors He believes that it is better to live eighty happy years than to live sixty lonely and selfish ones. He is a man who knows that the heart of the average man is good and that our failures are accounted for largely in dur frailty and ignorance and in our stupid contentment.

This booster man is a Chautauqua fan. He is the man who Is urging you and yonr neighbor and your neighbor’s son to attend the most delightful, suggestive, interesting, scintillating program that perhaps has ever been given In this community; one t£at is crammed with strong discussions, lectures and interpretations that follow a prologue of Interesting, catchy music; that brings on the Immortal clown with his face paint and his compelling laughter; that provides a homecoming and community reunion, a visit with John and Mary and the kiddles.

In your heart you are a booster. Here is the time and the place to let your heart out Ton ought to live a long time yet and be very happy and very successful. After a week’s vacation with the Chautauqua people the recipe for such life will be Indelibly written In your own experience. Get a season ticket; one for every member of the family; have a vacation; have one that will be worth a million, and cheap at that Lincoln Chautauqua to be held in Rensselaer, Sept. 12th to 17th.
