The preliminary practice for the opera “A Nautical Knot'' began Monday evening under the' direction of Miss Stover and Miss Leopold. In a few days physical culture classes will be organized for both boys and girls. The drills will be military in character, supplemented by work in dumb bells and Indian clubs. The football team is practicing regularly and hard with prospects of being in much better shape than heretofore. The team has not been practicing regularly the last week owing to a few of' its members being vaccinated. They have a hard schedule to fill and are working hard in order to finish the rest of the season in a creditable manner. Basket ball practice will start next week. The material is very promising and from the prospects the team expects to finish the season with a number of scalps hanging from their belts. Mr. Wass will have charge. A large party of the history work in the high school during the present year will be that of a local character, in view of the fact that some time next year is to be held the centennial celebration of this state. Every school is expected to make a study of local conditions and contribute its part to this celebration. To do this the school desires the co-operation of all people of the community in obtaining information about the early settlements in and around Rensselaer, collecting of documents, relics and any material relative to this work. This is an opportunity for each and every individual to do his or her part in bringing out a truly original history of the state of Indiana. >

At Presbyterian church on Thursday evening, Nov. sth. Baled straw and hay for sale by Hamilton & Kellner. Just look at our classified column. It is the most rapidly growing section of any newspaper in Indiana. The wise farmer, the thrifty citizen, the dollar-seeking businessman and the careful person who offers for sale things that he does not wish to use are all employing this effective medium and are getting the best results. Lowest rates, widest circulation and the successful exprience of the users have contributed to its growth. Help yourself by adding to the classified section of The Republican. John Wake man, a young man living near Chalmers, had his left arm caught in the fly wheel of a farm tractor a few days ago and it was terribly mangled and cut. He was oiling the tractor and had his arm through the spokes when his brother, who was on the other side of the tractor, started it in action. He was taken to a Lafayette hospital and it was found thas his left arm was broken about every inch between the elbow and the shoulder and again half way between the wrist and the elbow and the muscles were torn almost off the forearm. Although the surgeons are making an effort to save the arm it seems probable that amputation will be necessary.
