Four Remington Citizens Buy New York Farms.

Clyde Reeve and family have been spending a few days with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Reeve, before departing for their future ,home at or- near Masonville, Delaware county, N. Y. Clyde is one of four Remington citizens who have recently purchased farms in New York state. Homer Babb contracted for a farm right across"-the Toad from the one Clyde purchased, and Ed Peek, former postmaster, and William Broadie, for many years engaged in the butcher business at Remington, have purchased farms in Chauauqua cohnty, only about three miles apart and 100 miles from the farms purchased by Reeve and Babb. The attraction in New York state, Clyde reports, is the low prices asked for the land. He bought 77 acres, including 6 good grade Holstein cows and three heifer calves and two good mares, also wagons and harness and everything needed to carry on a dairying business, all for $3,800. Figuring the stock at SI,OOO and the land at $2,800, the price fqr the land' was only a little over $36 per acre. When a farm is sold there the stock and equipment go along with the farm. Clyde will engage in the. dairying business The milk is sold to Borden’s, who collect it right at the farm. Clyde Spates that alfalfa is just being started there arid that he expects to put in some the coming spring. It is reported that other Remington people are interested in the New York farming opportunities and that several may buy’ before long. The writer was in New York live years ago and .stopped on several occasions at the homes of farmers. Most of them seemed to want to sell their places and the prices asked seemed ridiculously small The farms for the most part did not seem thoroughly cultivated, and it occurred to us that Hoosier farmers would find some rare opportunities there. Clyde says that the usual terms of sale are part cash and balance at SIOO per year, which looks strange in this country where farms Sell for $l5O per acre all cash or first mortgage security with big payments required.

MO MONEY IN SIGHT FOR TRACTION CO.

Judge Hanley Ruled That Levy Based Upon Subsidy Elections Should Not Be Collected. . -. i . In the matter of appropriation of money to aid in the construction of the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co., appealed from the commissioners’ court to the circuit court, Judge Hanley ruled that the tax was nut collectible for the reason that the traction company had not complied with the law in filing a map showing the permanent location of the line of road in Marion township and the city of Rensselaer. The commissioners had previously ordered the auditor and treasurer to place tax upon the duplicate for collection, the levy ainounting to about $30,000. The court set this ordfcr aside and taxed all costs to the traction company. Decisions of the higher courts in cases of this kind indicate that not only maps should be filed showing the permanent location of the road, but the road must 'actually be built upon suCh line before any levy can, be made, collected and turned over to a railroad, by reason of an election voting such This will probably end the litigation as between rival companies seeking franchises through Jasper county. The objections to the levy were made by Warner T. Elmore and Lewis B. Elmore, as taxpayers in Marion township. The former is interested with the promoter of the Lafaytete and Northwestern line known as the O. L. Brown line. - Nothing seems to have been heard lately of the promoters of the Indiana Northwestern, known as the Roberts company. H. J. Wilson, the engineer, became badly involved and left his wife and three children without funds at Rlemington. It was some three weeks before he was located and then Mrs. Wilson and her children went back to Milwaukee. Wilson, seems to have spent the money of Roberts and Zimmerman with a free hand and when they Shut down on him be had a number of unpaid bills at Remington and Rensselaer. Whether the Roberts people have 'abandoned the project permariently or whether they have found it impossible to finance it at present is not known here. It is not known either whether Brown represents any actual possibility or not. He has continued fairly active and has franchises in several counties. Other Court Proceedings. Woridhull I.

High School Football Squad Looks Very Promising.

Captain Will Eigelsbach, of the high school football team, believes that the team is especially promising this year. It will have a number of new members, but they are a husky crew and are expected to be able to deliver the goods. Coach Barker, who has developed so many successful football' teams during the past fifteen years, is again on the job, He is being assisted by Jay Nowels. Captain Eigelsbach was surprised recently to learn that he was selected by. the Spaulding guide critic as the all-state high school quarterback for 1913. The honor rests lightly on his shoulders, howevere, and “Bill” is more interested in planning for a successful team than he is in personal honors • The schedule has been practically completed, all but the Thanksgiving game. Two games are scheduled with Morocco, the first to take place there on Oct. 12th. It is hoped to have a practice game with the college before that game.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, SEPT. 22, 1914.

Says Chautauqua Surpassed Any Protracted Meeting.

It was just the grandest week Rensselaer ever had. The current of the whole Chautauqua program was t olift us mentally into another sphere; to give us different viewpoints of the various subjects discussed. There was just so pouch new thought food for those who went with an “ear to hear it”, tha£ it is now a source of supply from which we can draw daily. Unconsciously wc are sustained and encouraged by. the beautiful ideas presented. Then such a congenial atmosphere prevailed; everyone felt the power of it; drawn together above petty grievances, members felt they could not’ miss a session and they put forth every effort to get others to come. It was marvelous the way the townspeople reached out to those around them and brought them in. They are certainly to be commended. I hope we can repay them. They were so concerned about 1 country friends attending as much as they telephoned (which is very trying) fOT them to come for dinner or supper and go with them. Those who had extra tickets insisted bn some one using them. Say, to inspire and- extend good will arid to induce men and women to apply the golden rule, a < hautauqua surpasses by far any rrotracted meeting, rio difference what denomination—A Farmer’s "Wife.

TYPHOID RESULTS IN GIRL’S DEATH

Bliss Ethel Ferguson Passed Away This Morning at Home in MeGoysburg—Funeral Thursday.

Miss Ethel Ferguson !i died at 4 o’clock Tuesday morning at her home in McCoysburg. She had endured the terrible suffering of typhoid fever for several weeks, and at times it looked as though she might pull through, but for the past week, however, the outcome was very doubtful. 'The family was unable financially to hire a nurse, so the money was raised by subscription and all the people in the neighborhood responded freely to Trustee Parker’s call for help. The funeral will probably be held at Monon Thursday afternoon. Deceased was the daughter of Charles Ferguson and wife and was about 15 years of age. The parents had lived in McCoysburg for about three years and he was the boss of the Monon section. Ethel was very popular and because of her work in the Sunday School there the picnic was recently postponed' owing to her- illness. The community is much grieved at her death.

Lots of Fruit in Michigan Awaits Cars For Shipment.

There are said to be 10,000 earloads of fruit at St. Joseph, Mich, waiting to be shipped, , The fruit comes from the small strip of sandy land surroundirfg St. Joseph and is of recoghized quality. The railroad service is not sufficient to handle all the fruit at once and- its transportation is something of a problem. With this supJWy of fruit to be shipped into Indiana in the near future, housewives need not worry about the source of their fruit for canning. The great production "promises a cut in the price of peaehes and ripples—there are a .few things that the war cannot affect yet. *
