BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ WORK EXHIBITED

Thirteen Boys Completed Work and Are Making' Good Showin# " * The boys’ and girls’ dub work which was started last spring under the supervision of County Agent Barrett, is now being completed at the poultry shoW. Considering the fact that the work was left practically without a leader during the summer and consequently many of the boys and girts -became discouraged and did not complete their work, and also considering the fact that this was a very poor year for erops, they have made a very good showing. 13 boys have completed the wotk in the corn club and have samples on exhibition at the show, while 11 •girls have exhibits of chickens. The following is a list of the boys and girls: Barkley— Marie Moore, Bessie Moore, Blanche Peterson, Pearl Peterson, Hazel Brouhard, Lowdl PeteTson, Lawrence Brouhard. Carpenter—Cecile Fisher, Zoe Jordan, Robert Smalley, Clermont Stack.

Gillam —Edward Ryan. Hanging Grove—Laura Maxwell-. Jordan, Hurshell Bice. Kankakee—George Schreitber. Marion—Anna Spangle, Lila Peck, Marquis Peek. Newton —John Stockton. Union—Lonzo Wiseman. Walker—Elsie Peer, James Alexander. Wheat-field—Archie Hendrix, Harold Kennedy. In townships where there were only one entrance a definite score was not figured out; however, in Barkley, Carpenter and Wheatfleld townships there were two contestants. In Barkley township, Lawrence Brouhard won with a score of 83.87 points against Lowell Peterson with 81.85 points. Rrouhard had the largest yield reported in the county, namely, 89 bushels on one acre. This was new ground and had received careful cultivation. In Wheatfleld township Harold Kennedy won with JS.B points against 88.6 points for Archie Hendrix. These scores are competed for the township and are not comparative in regard to the county. Tlie best 10 ears were exhibited by Harold* Kennedy and scored 80. In Carpenter township the winner had not been decided at thus date as one of the boys took his report home to make some change and iras not yet returned It to Soper* intendent Lamson. Several good birds were exhibited by the girls and they were able to capture some prizes in the show in competition with the older and more experienced poultrymen. The awards in the different townships at this time have not been made. Mr. Pickett, the judge in the poultry show, has taken a great interest in these girls who have entered the contest and besides offering as a 'reward to each one who had entered the contest a year’s subscription to the .Inland Poultry Journal, has also written a personal letter to each of them offering suggestions as to how they-might improve on the Care of their birds. The original plan of this club work was to send the winning boy and girl in each township to Pur-

NOT AN ISOLATED CASE.

Many Similar Oases in Rensselaer ' and Vicinity. This Rensselaer woman’s story given here is not an isolated case by any means; week after week, year after year, our neighbors are telling similar good news. Mrs. Aaron Hickman, N. Front St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine on the market. I have taken them at different times when suffering from attacks of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I have always had prompt relief. Over three years ago I first used them and-I was so well pleased with the benefit I got that I gave a statement for publication recommending them. Since then, when 1 have heard anyone complain of kidney trouble or ..backache, I have suggested that Doan's Kidney Pills be procured at Fendig’s Drug Store and given a trial. Different ones of my family have taken this remedy and like myself, have been greatly benefited.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Dean’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Hickman had. FosterMilburn Co., Props,, Buffalo, N. Y,

YOUNG MEN WENT TO CRAWFORDSVILLE TODAY

Representatives pi Three Sunday Schools Will Attend Older Boys’ Conference.

At Cra-wtfordsville today, tomorrow and Sunday is being J»eld what is called an “older boys’ conference.” It is in the interest of Sunday schools and to inspire greater interest in the Sunday school on the part of young men, in order to bring aid into closer relationship with the church. Rensselaer was quite well represented. G. H. McLain, Paul Norman and Henry Feltboven went from the Christian Sunday school; John L Gwin, Gravelous Hansson and Emmet Hollingsworth from the Presbyterian church and J. J. Hunt and Russell Van Arsdel from the Methodist church.

Christian Church Revival.

The largest audience thus flar gathered at the Christian church last evening and the service was pronounced the very best of the •week. The large auditorium was filled to its capacity and it would •not be surprising if the entire church plant will soon have to be brought into use. It is remarkable the number of men and young men who are in attendance every night, and they seem to manifest a very deep interest in the meeting. The singing last evening was a special feature and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. A splendid duet was rendered by Prof. Altheide and Wilda Littlefield. The solo by the director was also impressive. Greater things in the music here are promised beginning with Sunday. The chorus and audience ro sponded in a way that made everybody glad. The sermon theme was ‘The Sweetest Story Jesus Ever Told,” and was a treatise on the Prodigal Son. The pastor said: Were I gifted with the spirit and power of a Raphael there is one picture I would paint as my masterpiece. It would not be the beauty and wonder of Niagara, nor the golden sunset of Gate; but it would be thfc wandering prodigal finding his W'ay hack to the Father’s home. We love this story of Jesus because it so wonderfully illustrates human nature. Man is a prodigal, and often wan ders away from his God, hut love and affection on the Father’s part yearns for us and welcomes us home. The young man grew tired of the restraints of home, and desired the far „off country. How many young men and sometimes young women,- who possess the same spirit as this young man of the Story. We get so impatient under the influence of the home parents and the church, and we long for the “far country with its music and gaiety.” God pity the one who feels that home has no charms for him, and that parents are too slow. There would not be so many ship-wrecks upon the ocean of life if we would stick a little closer to the old home and mother’s and father’s influence. Sometimes we grow tired of the ehucrh and not always is the blame to be placed upon the shoulders of the back-slider. I think we have driven a good many redMooded men out of the church because we have tried to make it a weak-kneed and back-boneless affair. Borne of us are afraid to crack a good smile for fear we will displease God. The religion that I •preach and will ever preach is that of life, manhood, courage and principle. To live for Christ is to ..do a man’s job, and it is a man’s -task. The prodigal son had his -way and soon he Is mingling with his boon companions in that far country. Pleasures come thick and fast upon him and friends gather to his side. He thinks he has made the right choice. Finally a famine breaks oUtXand he S is in want. Rags, want and starvation now take -the place of his gold. Sln always brings its famine. One may indulge for a season and as the young man would say, “hit the high spots,” tout how uickly it vanishes. The sure things in this life are God and character. The young man began to think. Some say that thought has no place in the church. Friends, if we could get men and women to think as the church wants them to, there would toe one of the mightiest revivals in this qld city that was ever known. Men* add women stay away from Christ because they do not think. Finally the young man came back to his father, and oh, how welcome he was. You rday wander far away from God and you may spentd many*a day in the far off, but you cannot be too far away from God’s love.

♦The service tonight will be one etf the best yet. It will not conflict ■with the basketball game, as Mr. Sharp promised to atart the game after thfr service. The . theme..'od3i, be “The Unknown God”,

Chicago Sportsmen Give Jordan TP. War Appearance.

Persons passing through and near East Jordan township this week had sufficient reason to he lieve that European forces were there, on account of the booming of many guns. Messrs. Albert Wagner, Peter Kocfk and Johan fibbere, of Chicago, have been making their annual visit at the home of Matt Nesius, and with the aid of their many friends in that neighborhood they succeeded in bagging 248 rabbits.

Hunting was the order o< the day and dancing and entertainments of various kinds were enjoyed in the evening. •, The (feature of the big hunt was the fact that Mr. Koch stepped out on the porch and killed two rabbits with one shot, while everyone was in the house enjoying the entertainment by M. fibbers, who is an accomplished violinist. The Chicago gentlemen are expert shots and that accounts for the number of bunnies that have passed to the land beyond.
