Only Five More Working Days Until The Contest Will Come to an End. If You Want to Win a Nice Prize for a Little Effort Now is the Time to Get Busy

Next Friday night thebig contest will come to a close and those candidates wttio want to win a nice prize should make the few remaining days count, for a few subscriptions ,now will go a long ways toward winning you of the valuable prizes offered by The Republican. The wise candidate will not be guided by anything she or he hear or be told by anyone. There are always a lot of knockers who are ■ out to discourage and make you j stop work when you might be on the point of winning one of the grand prizes. Candidates should give no 'heed to knockers as .they are not worth noticing and sooner or later will meet their Waterloo. Go right ahead and do your best each day and listen to nobody and 'you will be a winner. It does not cost one cent to win a prize and whoever tells you it does is uttering a falsehood and they know it. Don't listen to the knocker. Work will win. Race Close. In checking up' work done by candidates up to Friday night the interesting fact developed that although all active candidates had made splendid gains in their actual vote standing, not one candidate had secured any decided lead. The race is very close, rumor and guessing to the contrary. If certain candidates would stop worrying about what So-and-so or someone else Is doing and spend more time in red hot hustling for subscriptions, there would be less cause for worry. More votes ’come from enthusiastic, persevering, hard work than by any other means possible, and the close of tiff* contest will

prove that it is this sort of campaign that will win tne automobile to be given away Sept. 18th. Here are the prizes you can win One Ford Touring Oar. One S3OO Upright Piano. One $2'X) Building Lot. One $65 Domestic Sewing Machine. One $25 Gold Prize. One S2O Gold Watch. One $5 in Gold. 10 per cent to non-prize winners.

Joe Sets Long Distance Recognition Record.

Watertown, Wis., Times. Joe Jackson, a traveling man from Chicago, surely put a big dent in all local records fpr long distance recogniton of a friend and under difficulties at that. As he passed along Main street Friday afternoon, he saw V. P. Kaub leave a store and go down the street about 75 feet ahead of him. But one glimpse was enough, and though his former Indiana friend was but a high school lad just out of knickerbockers When he had last seen him, nearly 12 years ago, Joe called his name loud enough to be heard three blocks instead of the comparatively short distance that separated them. Needless to say, they had a .pleasant chat about mutual acquaintances. What a little iworld this is after all.

Chinese Lad to Graduate From School

The first oriental ever attending school in Rensselaer, we believe, is Chen Pany Hao, a Chinese young man who is a member of this year’s senior class and 1 who will probably complete the course and graduate with'the elites'next May. The young man had been a student at the. Bunker Hill Military Acadamy, at Bunker Hill, Ill;, in which Loren Sage, of this county, was an instructor. The school suspended at he close of the 1913-14 term and Mr. Sage brought the Chinese youth hete to work for his father, Warren W. Sage, on his farm southeast of town. The boy decided to enter our high school and passed an entrance examination entitling him to become a member of the senior class. Be will continue to make his home with Mr. Sage until after his graduation. Loren Sage has been working in St. Louis since the school closed, but is expected home Shortly.

LOCAL BOARD NOW CONTROLS SCHOOL

Monnett School For Girls Entirely a Home Now Building Planned. The Monnett School for Girls is now .an entirely home institution so far as the ownership and management of the school is concerned. The deed is held by a board of Rensselaer citizens and the* affairs of the school will be directed by them. When first stated the school was owned and controlled by J. S. Myers, of tfhe Chicago School for Home and Foreign Missions. It was later transferred to the Dcaconness Association and managed by a board of trustees, several of whom resided in other places and the school was incorporated under the laws of the state of Illinois. It has now been placed in the hands of the local board, composed of Dr. Paul C. Curnick, D. D., Dr. M. D. Gwin, Henry Amsler, C. R. Dean, J. D. Allman, Mrs. F. A, Turfler, drS. A. A. Fell, Chas. Battleday and Rev. C. W. Postill, of Rensselaer, and Rev. D. L. Harper, of Delphi, and Rev. G. W. Switzer, of Lafayette. The school Is incorporated in Indiana under the name of ‘Monnet't School for Girls?’

It is in position to receive either gifts or endowments and all money received will be expended in the del- - of the school. The board has decided to bend every effort toward the erection during next year of a new building to cost $12,000, a modem school building with conveniences that will greatly facilitate the splendid work of giving to these girls the advantage of a Christian education. To this end it is planned to place in the field a financial secretary w(ho will endeavor to secure money for the building fund. Miss Waymire will continue her Iwork as field secretary. The new building* which it is expected to have finished in time for the opening of the school in the fall of 1915, will be so erected thgs additions can be made and it is expected within a few years to develop the Institution into a fine school with a large attendance. There will be about thirty girls again this year. Two of these are supported by an annuity gift by a Chicago person. Certainly to any one who has the means to-do .go there is no worthier way of expending it than to provide for the Christian education of some little girl. Only about $125 a year will do this. Last year the school spent right here in Rensselaer considerably in excess of $5,000. Th years to- come there is every prospect that the school will be many times its present size and that it will be an important factor in the future Rensselaer. The Monon railroad is often called “the educational rouw,”because of the large number of colleges along the route. Among these are St. Joseph’s at Rensselaer, Purdue at Lafayette, Wabash at Crawfordsville, DePauw at Greencastle and the state university at Bloomington. When Monnett School for Girls gets well established it would be a fine thing if another college could be started" In this city, to be known as Van Rensselaer College or other appropriate name. Many of the great schools are crowded and new colleges are being started and are succeeding and Rensselaer would doubtless be able to build up another great school if it* were in the right hands. For the present let us commend the .noble labors performed in bringing MonnCtt School for Girls up to its present state and recommend It In the highest terms as worthy the support of all who are Interested in givng to the little girls, many of whom are orphans or who have only one parent who Is compelled to work, or who are compelled to live apart from their parents, the benefit of an education where Christian refinement and culture as well as- a general education is a part of the curriculum.
