If bum printers were as thrifty as they are persistent, they would all get rich. One made the printing office rounds in Rensselaer today. He was at the crossing near the depot when passenger train No. 5 went south and climbed on the train at the back of the engine tender. The conductor saw him and stopped the train and put him off, but as the tram gathered speed he hopped on again, getting in behind the baggage car. This time he was not discovered and evidently got a safe ride to Monon. Some day his body will be gathered up in a market basket and the chances are fine that he won’t have anything on hinf but a plug of tobacco, a 13-m rule and a bad breath. Grant Warner spent Sunday with Mrs. Warner at the hospital and was greatly encouraged with her condition and the assurances of the doctors and the nurse. Although operated on last Wednesday morning she received her first nourMunent Sunday and that was only a little broth in the morning and a bit of orange juice in the evening. She is holding her own following the very serious operation. Mrs. Robinson, her mother, who has been with her since the operation, returned home with Mr. Warner Sunday evening, but will probably go back again later in the week. Mrs. Dale Warner, sister of Mrs. Grant Warner and a graduate nurse, is with her at the hospital. J. P. Hammond, C. F. Grow, D. E. Grow, D. S. Makeever, F. M. Donnelly, B. F. Alter and B. J. Moore with their families and cars and several friends made an enjoyable trip Sunday to Lafayette, the, Soldiers’ Home, Tecum sell Trail, Columbian Park, Battle Ground, Brookston, Chalmers, Reynolds, Mocnon and home. A picnic dinner was held at the Trail and the supper south of Monon. Those who accompanied the car owners were Mr. and Mrs. Bradford Poole, Mrs. Stella Ketchum, Mr. and Mrs. Harry K rosier, Mrs. W. A. Davenport and children, Mr. and-Mrs. Milt Roth and children, Ruth Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lefler and little son and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Healey. The distance traveled was about 120 miles and the trip in .every respect a most enjoyable one. A trip into the country Sunday gave us an idea of the crop outlook. We saw the best fields of wheat and oats we have ever seen and with very few exceptions the grain was standing up straight. Rye was turning yellow and within a week if it continues warm should be ready to cut. Wheat is heading out well and , apparently there will be the greatest crop ever harvested in this country. Oats, adso, will be a bumper crop, barring trouble from wind or hail. Cora uniformly is small and the stand as judged from alo*% the road is poor. The color is good, however, wtwl all that is needed to bring it out of the kinks is some warm weather with fewer rains for the next two weeks. If prices keep up there should be the greatest prosperity throughout this section of Indiana it has ever had. 'l'-. ... - -j " •
