Adjutant-General Frank L. Bridges Ras issued General Order No. 2, 1916, which sets the dates for the annual inspection of the militia organizations of the state. The first company to be inspected is Company G, of the second regiment, at M uncle. Company M, of Rensselaer, will be inspected Wednesday night, March 15, and Company C, Monticello, the following night. AH inspections will be made this year by Captain John J. Toffey, Jr., the senior inspector-in-structor with the Indiana National Guard. Lieut. - Philip Remington, who inspected the guard companies in the northern part of the state last year, will assist in making the inspection in-Ohio. The distribution of federal funds to the states for the support of the militia will depend upon the total attendance at these inspections and not upon the enlisted strength. It is provided that travel not exceeding $2 will be allowed men to reach the home station for the inspection if they are absent when the inspection is to be made. Orders from the war department in form of a circular set forth the requirements for attending the summer camp of instruction. As for the past two or three years a minimum strength of 38 enlisted men and two officers is prescribed. In order -to draw the federal pay men must have been enlisted for a period of 60 days or more and have had 14 periods of progressive military instruction of not less than one and one-half hours each. Men in excess of 38 who shave not had the required training and who have nbt belonged for that length of "time will be allowed travel and subsistence by the federal government but not the federal pay.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1916.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF PRIMARY LAW

Candidates For County Office Must File Certificates On or Before the Sixth of February. Candidates so/ the political honors who desire to be tho~ nominee of their party next fall will be required to file their certificate with the county clerk 'between the 7th of January and the 7th of February, 1916, and this will include candidates for precinct committee as well as for the various township mid county officers. The blank is very simple as provided by the statute. The prospective candidate states as follows: Satte of Indiana, County of Jasper. I, the undersigned, do hereby certify that I am a qualified voter of ..precinct of the township 0f...., of the county of Jasper, state of Indiana, and that I am a member of the ..... party and request that you place my name on the official primary ballot to be voted on' for the office of .... at the primary election to be held on the .... day of ....191.., as representing the principles of the r .,t. party. Signed. This will include candidates for township and the advisory boards and county council as well as for the other more remunerative offices, and those interested in civic affairs will do well to bear this feet in mind. The primary election boards will be organized the same as the regular election boards, with an inspector, two judges, two clerks, and two sheriffs. The ballots of each party will be printed on a different colored paper and spaces left opposite the names to make a cross for both your first and second choice for each position. The manner of figuring the successful nominee for an office, where there are A number of candidates and no one of them-receiving the majority of votes, will consist of dropping the name of lowest candidate from the score and adding the second choice votes to that of the rest of the candidates. If this does not give some one candidate the majority the next lowest will be dropped and the total vote divided by the smaller number and so op until someone receives a majority first and second votes. While the law, as originally enacted, required each candidate to deposit with the county clerk 1 per cent of the first year's salary to help defray the expenses of the primary election, this has been declared unconstitutional.

LOTS OF PUBLICITY ABOUT WOLF HUNT

New Yorkers Don’t Believe There Is Any “Sech Thing”—Cameras Played Important Part. r* ■ - •< _ ' * Rensselaer was in the date line of papers from coast to coast on account of the wolf drive in Walker township last week. Chicago papers played the hunt to a finish and other papers took it up. E. A. Bartmess, manager for the Standard Oil Co., in Yonkers, N. Y., saw an article about the hunt in The New York Times and clipped it out and sent it to his cousin, Mrs. J. D. Allman, with a brief request asking if this could be true. Most people in New York consider the wolf an entirely extinct animal, while others think that Indiana is way out in the wild and wooly. Picture film houses are always ready to take advantage of opportunities for sensational pictures and it is said that three moving picture machines were on the job in Walker township. It is said that one enterprising house sent a big yellow dog that resembled a wolf to that township and then secured the services of a number of the hunters to make the picture, turning the dog loose and having him shot by the hunters. As previously stated in this -paper the hunt resulted in a failure, owing to an incomplete ring. Trustee Davis, of Kankakee township, thinks there are eighteen or twenty wolves in that section. Possibly another drive' can be arranged. If advertised widely it is probable that many more men could be procured to take pajrt in it.

High School Notes.

A vote taken at the high school Friday morning determine whether there should be a Printed program of the two literary societies or not resulted in a unanimous vote in favor of the printed program. The sophomore Englisih classes at the beginning of the second semester, will start reading Shakespeare’s play “As You Lake It.” A meeting of the senior class was held last Thursday evening to attend to some business. The president, Robert Reeve, announced that he had received a letter from the D. L. Auld & Co., manufacturers of jewelry, of Columbus, Ohio. Order blanks for the class pins and rings were sent and Mr. Reeve will attend to this matter at an early date. Last year the high sdhooi signed a four-year contract with this company. As the resutl of the opea»etta given by the music department of the high school we are the poaseesors of some fine new records for our Victrola.

Physical culture classes started Monday morning. Two of the classes are large, while the other classes are rather small. Mr. Dean received a card from Mr. Swindler stating that he was pleased with his new position as .physics teacher in Pittsburg University. He state! that the enrollment last year was 3,200 and indications are that the enrollment this year will exceed that number. The physics department has abbut 200 student® with six instructors. The selling of sandwiches at the basketball game last Friday evening proved a very successful experiment. About 100 sandwiches were sold in less than 15 minutes. At the next gbpie the same experiment will be Vied again on a larger scale. The domestic science department prepared the sandwfches. “Pie basketball game Between the Francesville and Rensselaer freshman teams resulted in a 27 to 6 victory for the locals. ,

B. Daffim, in “My Whole Dairnft Family.” There w» be no advance in prices. A. G. Hardy returned this morninjf from a brief visit in Monticello.

TWO ELEVATORS AT REMINGTON ROBBED

Amateurs Get Small Booty For Hard Work—s 32 From One Elevator and $3 From Other. Yeggmen, apparently of the amateurish variety, visited the two grain elevators in Remington Monday night and used tools stolen from the Jordan blacksmith shop in entering the safes. At the Farmers' elevator they hammered the doors with sledges and succeeded in getting $32 in money. The safe of the Kelly Grain Co. is not locked, money in only very amounts being left in a ssmaflt drawer which is kept locked. This drawer was broken open and $3 taken. Postage and internal revenue stamps and one endorsed check were not taken, leading to theibelief that the deed may have been performed by local talent. The nightwatoh did not see or hear the burglars and the first evidence of the visit occurred when the elevator men went to thg grain offices in the morning.
