Had Fine Time at Eastern Star and Masonic Picnic.

The picnic given at Water Valley by the Eastern Star and the Masons Thursday proved a very enjoyable occasion. The attendance was not large but those present had a very pleasant time. Launches and row boats were supplied and there was lots of fishing but catching was poor. Max Ahlgrim’s picnic grove was the scene of the picnic and the tables fairly groaned beneath the weight of good things. Each picnicker was given a bouquet of water 'lillies. The band finished inspiring music and all returned on the milk train declaring they had spent a delightful day.

Captures Burglar With Ice Cream Dipper.

Oscar S. Reppert, of Mulberry, Ind., who runs a grocery store, aimed the end of an ice cream dipper at a iburgalr Thursday morning as though it were a revolver and affected his capture. When Reppert entered his store he saw the intruder making his getaway through the window and pointing the shiny dipper at him called “halt.” The thief, seeing the bright object, stopped. He ■was then taken to the sheriff, where he gave his name as Frank Harrell and his home as the “United States.”

COMB SAGE TEA IN LIFELESS, GRAY HAIR

If Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens So Naturally Nobody Can Tell. ■ * Grandmother kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded, or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderfu leffect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get a large bottle of this oldtime recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied—it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears. After another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant.

Card of Thanks.

We wish to express our heartfelt thinks to the neighbor? and friends who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and death of our dear mother. Also for the beautiful floral offerings. —Her husband, Wm. Lyons, and children, Mrs. A. G. Lucas, Mrs. Earl Clouse, John Leo Lyons.

Did You Lose a Sack of Corn and Several Chickens?

Here is an opportunity to recover several head of chickens and a sack of corn if you can prove property; Thursday morning as Tom Padgitt was going to the com field to cultivate the com he saw something in a clump of willows that attracted his attention. Investigation showed that it was a sack of com and a bunch of chickens, the latter with their feet tied together. Presuming that the chickens belonged in the neighborhood he cut the string that bound them. When he reported the-matter at home 'at noon and made inquiry in the neighborhood to see if any chicken raisers were short and did not find any who were he went back, and caught a half dozen of the chickens and took them to his home, where they still are. Apparently they were stolen and the thief had dropped them in the bushes when he thought he was pursued. The evening before Tom had driven to the bridge over the Iroquois ditch near the ice pond and then run down to the river bank to see if a line he had in the river had any fish on it. It is now believed that the-chicken thief was frightened at that time. Information is desired and the owner of the chickens can get them back by applying to A. L. Padgitt.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1915.

RENSSELAER TO PARIS BY MISS WASHBURN

Success of Rensselaer Woman Receiving Recognition—lndianapolis Paper Adds Praise. The success attained by Miss Mary Washburn, daughter of the late I. B. Washburn, was the subject of illustrations and the appended write-up in The Indianapolis News of Wednesday. Old friends will recall that Miss Washburn graduated from the Rensselaer high school in the latter eighties and that she was an unusual student and although very small in stature was possessed of an indomitable will. During -the senior year she suffered a severe attack of typhoid fever that almost cost her life, and she recovered from it just in time to complete the senior course. Later she took the teachers’ examination in Chicago and received a life licenes to teach, although still but a young girl. She then took up painting as a profession and was very successful. She then took up sculpture 'and her success has been quite remarkable during the fifteen years she has been engaged in that line of work. The full article from The Indianapolis News is here published. It bears a Rensselaer date line: “From Rensselaer to the Paris salon is a long way, but it has been traveled by Mary Washburn, in her search sion with me. I have no interest, or quired fifteen years of hard work, inexhaustible energy and indomitable will to make the journey is now of no consequence—Mary Washburn, her friends say, has arrived. She was educated at Butler college, Irvington. Rensselaer, -the pretty little seat of Jasper county, was Miss Washburn’s real home until her work made it necessary to establish her residence elsewhere. Going abroad for the third time in 1912, she spent a year in Paris, studying under Sawyer. In 1913 she exhibited “Consolation,” a statuette in bronze, at the Paris salon. This work, representing two children clasped in each other’s arms, and epitomizing childhood’s griefs, was much admired and won for the artist unstinted praise. Recently, at the joint exhibition held by Miss Washburn and Frederick Webster, of Evanston, a painter of miniatures and pastels, at Matzene’s studio, in Chicago, Miss Washburn’s work received much favorable attention. Among the pieces exhibited were: “Innocence,” “Purity,” “Miss Bosen,” the statuette of “Mrs. Moore,” which approaches the Greek ideal in the simplicity of its lines; and the statuette of “Philip Paul,” which is distinctively modem, and demonstrates the artist’s success in grasping the elfin personality of childhood, of which she has made a special study, and is depicting it in sculpture. This success is further shown in her bust of a baby called “Flowers,” an idealistic work, modeled from a two-months-old Hoosier baby, so that, as Miss Washburn suggests, it should really have been called a “Hoosier Flower.” This bust is one of the pieces sent to the Panama-Pacific exposition. The artist’s low relief work is marked by simple austerity of outline. Two of the most notable examples of the latter, which were shown at Matzene’s, were a plaque of the artist’s mother, and a relief of Mr. and Mrs. Webster, with their exquisitely wrought medals in bronze. These were among the features of the exhibit. One of the most admired of Mr. Webster’s pastels was “The Sculptress,” a portrait of Miss Washbum at work in her studio. Since her return from abroad Miss Washburn has made her home in Chicago, where she has a studio. She herself is a most delightful person. Small and graceful, with blue eyes and brown hair, she possesses a droll whimsicality that is very amusing. “Was the knowledge of your ability to express yourself in the plastic of quick revelation or had you previously known of it?” she was asked. “Really,” she laughed, “I think like Topsy, I jus’ gTowed.” That is the art side of me. If I ever grew physically, no one noticed it to speak of. Do you know,” she continued. “I used to hide my school books whenever a teacher appeared, because in idle moments, seemingly without volition, my fingers drew figures of men and women, heads, hands and feet all over the margins of the books. But whatever I drew it was always form. That has ever been an obsession with me. I have no inteerst, or very little, in reproducing anything from nature.” After leaving Butler college, Miss Washburn went to Cincinnati, where she studied drawing in blade and white. Later she engaged in commercial work with much success. However, she never relinquished her ambition to do something really worth while. To satisfy this desire she entered the Chicago Art Institute,

where she resumed her study of drawing. One evening she passed a door in the great school usually kept closed. She stood looking in, fascinated. It was a modeling class, and students were working in clay. A strange scene, weird and untidy; lights shining on ugly wet clay figures and heads, half wrapped in cloths; the workers standing on clay-tracked floors, their aprons wqt and clayey. But to Mary Washbum it was an inspiring scene. “For,” she says, as I gazed through the half opened door, I knew that at last I had found the one thing in life that I wanted to do, and that the unsatisfied desire of my heart was to be realized in clay modeling.” . . . .. .. Miss Washburn is an indefatigable worker, and the keystone of her success has been to learn, as she says, “More and more, and still more.” Her largest work is the heroic statue of General Milroy at Rensselaer. Other works are a bust of Dr. Byron Rob* inson, in the library of Rush Medical college; a low relief of Lincoln, made for Marshall Field, and one of Susan B. Anthony, made sos the suffrage cauAe, a copy of which is owned by the Illinois Suffrage Association. In all Miss Washlurn has sent eight pieces to the Panama exposition. Four are medals and plaquetteg- four more are m the Indiana women’s exhibit, three being statuettes, and one is “Flowers,” the bust previously mentioned Several Chicago papers have been referring to this Indiana artist as a “Chicago woman.” Mary Warfiburn ia a Hoosier, first, last and always—and is pro ad of it. Mrs; Robert Strong, of Chicago, is the member of the art committee who requested Miss Washburn to send examples of her work to the fair.

England Says Complaint By U. S. Not Justified.

Great Britain in a memorandum transmitted to the United States government and made public in Washington and London Thursday night, recites at length its efforts to minimize inconvenience to neutral commerce resulting from the order in council against trade with Germany, Austria and Turkey, and asserts that American citizens have no just grounds on account of the treatment accorded their cargoes.

Man Considered Tramp Was Worth $6,000.

The state of Indiana may be $6,000 richer through the disappearance of Wm. Bretthauer five years ago. Bretthauer, a supposed tramp, has not been seen since February, 110. Before that time he turned over a mass of papers to Fred Lindamann, a friend, who died two years ago. Lindamaim left the papers with his wife, Marie. Mrs. Lindamann put the matter in probate court and an investigation resulting from unbalanced bank books shows Bretthauer has $6,000 to his credit in various Indianapolis banks and trust companies. Judge Bash appointed an administrator but later a will, 20 years old, was found. It names distant relatives in Germany. If they can not be found the money will go to the state.

They Say Brass Band Made Good Music Anyway.

Crown Point Star: Renssleaer is not behind when it comes to brass bands. They entertained Crown Pointers for a short time last Saturday afternoon, and more of their music would have been thankfully received. They came in so quickly in automobiles and left so quietly after delivering one lively tune that some of our “old 'has beens” got to dancing before they knew what the invaders .were here for, and some of them have not found out yet.
