Three Monticello Ladies Had Thrilling Experience Monday.

MonticeHo Journal. Three ladies and an auto had a thrilling experience on the hill east of MonticeHo near the cemetery Monday night. Miss Marie McClure was driving the machine and the other passengers were her sister, Mrs. Charles Hoffman, and Miss Blanche Reid. As they were going up the hill they met a rig ana on giving the road Miss McClure attempted to change gear but instead got hold of the lever which reversed the engine. The machine ran off the road, going down the steep embankment through a fence and into a cornfield. The passengers in the back seat jumped out but Marie stuck to the ship as it were, and all escaped without injury. They finally got Bob, Cottrell out from town and after a . few hours’ work he got them on Jhe road again.

Horse Show and Fair at Chalmers a Big Success.

The writer attended the Chalmers horse straw and industrial exhibit Friday, having been invited to act as the umpire of a ball game" between the old Chalmers team and the. present team. The old team as it played was composed >of John Smith/* Minus Irwin, jSam Hughes, Ted Minch, Clyde Raul?, Will Stoker, Jim Downey and the Shank boys. Fifteen years ago the pjayers composed a team that made it lively for any semi-pro team in the state. At that time Guy Peacock played and an effort was made to find him for this game but he could not be located. The present Chalmers team had their hands full defeating the “old timers” and at the end of the Bth inning the score stood 6 to 6. The youngsters’ endurance was better than the old fellows, however, and in the last inning the balloon went* up, so to speak, and the youngsters piled up 8 more runs. The game was attended by a thousand or more people. The horse show iwas a good one, lots of good animals being exMr. Maddox, who was the judge here several years ago, was the judge. The exhibit of farm produces, fancy -work, canned fruit, baking, etc., was fine and attracted the men and women in large numbers. The exhibit was. in a small store room, the articles being attractively arranged. Potatoes, tomatoes, winter radishes, squashes, beans, mangoes, peaches, apples,, grapes and many other things were shown from the truck gardens. Corn, wheat, oats and popcorn, as fine as you will And any place, any year, was shown. The baking and canned fruit exhibit was fine. Oakes, cookies, rolls, bread, jellies, preserves, pickles, all manner of canned, fruit was shown. Fancy quilts, an art that has almost been lost since the old country fairs died out, were on exhibition, and much fine linen work, inclunding lunch cloths, napkins, bed linen, handkerchiefs, handbags, pillow tops and other articles were shown and rare ability was evident n much of the display. It seemed to us of such importance that we wonder why such a show would not be much more valuable than many of the more trivial things which towns frequently support. A good free show was also given on the street, two attractions of merit being engaged. The ball game was also free.

Two Rensselaer Boys Play In Lawn Tennis Tournament.

Dwight Curnick and Elvyn Allman went to Chalmers today to play in the lawn tennis tournabient, iwhich is to take place this afternoon. Dr. Washburn and Rev. Parrett had expected to go also, but were prevented from doing so for business reasons. It is believed the young men who went will giye a good account of themselves.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, SEPT. 26, 1914.

FULL REPORT OF S. S. CONVENTION

X • ' Every Township But Wbeatfield - Represented—State Workers Were a Great Help. The annual meeting of the Jasper County Sunday School Association was held at Rensselaer Thursday and Friday. The first session was held Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock. The convention was well attended, all townships in the except Wheatfield being Represented an<J the attendance being good at all sessions. The first session iwas addressed by the stete secretary, George N. Burnie. His subject was “Afferent" and Efferent Problems of the TeacheK” He'said in part that as the state required some general preparation on the part of those who would teach in the public schools, so there should be a general preparation required -of those asked to teach in the Sunday School. In addition to this the Sunday School teacher should have a spiritual preparation which expresses itself in the personality; and in addition- to these there should be a special preparation for the particular grade in which he or she is to teach. , Teaching is one of the world’s greatest works and especially the work of teaching in the Sunday School, for it is here that the teacher takes eternal truth, and puts it into immortal souls for everlasting results. It is better to study the Sunday School lesson 10 minutes each day than to study one hour on Sunday morning, because we can do many things from habit without thought. We may study the lesson while performing daily tasks. Whatever thing enters the mind it has a tendency to come back. The following plan w£s given as a daily means of lesson study: Sunday, learn Golden Text and read lesson. Monday • ■ |HO Tuesday ■■■ HEN Wednesday UU HERE Thursday ■■ HAT Friday ■ ■ HY Miss Lemen, state superintendent of the elementary work, gave three talks during the convention on, “The Cradle Roll,” “Primary Work” and “Pictures.”

A fine musical program preceded the talks of the state workers on Thursday evening. Miss Catherine Watson gave a reading of Van Dyke’s ‘The Lost Word,” which was much appreciated. The music of the convention was well managed by W. E. Johnston, of Remington. The four churches of Rensselaer served a ‘splendid chicken dinner to the entire convention Friday which gave the visitors from the various parts of the county a fine opportunity to become better acquainted. Friday morning Rev. Titus, of the Christian Church, gave an interesting and practical talk on ‘The Boy Scout Movement.” Friday afternoon was given to a county survey conducted by Rev. Burnle, by means of a sheet showing the work done in each township and filled according to reports given by township chairmen from each township. This chart will be kept in the office of the county chairman, J. N. Leatherman, for refence, for it shows at a glance the work being done and also the need of each township. An effort will be made to have a copy of this chart published in each oi the county papers some time during the year. The auditing committee gave their approval of the books of the county secretary. „ The foHowing officers elected for the ensuing year: President, J. N. Leatherman; vice president, Mrs. John I. Gwin; secretary-treasurer Mrs. Ross Dean; of Rensselaer; press superintendent, W. E. John* Remington; superintendents of departments: elementary, Mrs. Dr. Hemphill, Remington; secondary, Miss ‘Margaret Johnson, Remington; adult, Louis H. Hamilton; home, Mrs. A. A.

Some Fine Specimens of Mibchigan Farm Products.

Mrs. John Behrens returned this Saturday morning from Cadillac, Mich., within 2Vi> milps of which city Mr. Behrens owns a farm of 125 acres, which he purchased last spring. Along with the farm 'he got four head of horses, fourteen cows and five calves and considerable farm equipment. Mr. Behrens has been at the farm for the past month and Mrs. Behrens was there about two weeks. She brought home with her, so that they could be exhibited at The Republican office, several big potatoes and a number of onions grown on Mr. Behrens’ farm. These are now on exhibition in The Rpublican window.

This is Mr. Behrens’ third experience with Michigan land. One farm he purchased and alter he had made a payment to bind the bargain the owner decided he wanted to keep it and he paid Mr. Behrens liberally to let him have the farm back again. Then he bought another farm and it, only to sell *t a year later at a substantial advance. He returned to Jasper county and bought a farm in Barkley township for $37.50 per acre and after three years sold it for SBO. It is hoped that he does as well with his latest Michigan investment. He will hold a public sale during the early winter and then move to the farm in Michigan, where he will probably spent most of this Call.

Forged Check On Clerk At The Makeever Hotel.

About two weeks ago a man stopped for a eouple of days at the Makeever hotel who registered as A. M. Fern'back, of Indianapolis. When he went to pay bis bill he presented a personal check on a Chattanooga, Tenn., bank. The check was for $19.50. Will Wayraire, the clerk, was busy and made only a cursory examination, the man producing evidence which made him feel reasonably sure that the check was all right. It has just been returned, marked “no funds,’’-and having protest charges of $2.50 attached. The loss was therefore $22. Some Rensselaer person ate a meal % with Fernbach at the hotel while here and Mr. Waymire will feel grateful to such person il he will communicate with him. Forgers are busy now and every ! person should exercise extra precaution before cashing checks for strangers.

He found it necessary to take off the first joint of three fingers. The child is reported to be getting along all right now.
