Monticello Basketball Team Here Friday Afternoon.

A real basketball team is going to play Rensselaer Friday afternoon. It is the team of the Monticello high school. We say “real” because the team has been winning about all of its games and winning them so decidedly as to put Monticello in the running for big honors. Last Saturday night Delphi was the opposing team and when the final tally was totaled up Monticello had 55 and Delphi had a poor little 7. Our boys are going at a mighty encouraging clip. We got a late start on account of football but we are now going in 12-cylinder fashion and the game with the White county boys promises to be a contest worth witnessing. The game is held in the afternoon because the senior reception to the juniors is held in the evening.

THE WEATHER. Fair tonight and Wednesday; slightly warmer tonight.

Years were sperit by Joseph Ti*jmbach, chief chemist at the Tanlac laboratories, Dayton, 0., before the present high state of efficiency, that has won renown for Tanlac in many states, had been attained. Tanlac is called the “Master Medicine” by persona who have used the preparation and ’ have been benefited therefrom. It is claimed that Tanlac masters many ailments where other medicines fail. C. H. Bailey, the renowned Tanlac Man, who is personally directing the, introduction of the new medicine in Indiana, is..an exponent of modem health precautions. His theory is that •most of the poor health of presentday Americans is due to those habits which best distinguish civilized inaa from the jungle savage. Overeating, overdrinking, lack of fresh air, and insufficient out-door exercise are responsible for most' of our ailments, he contends. ... But, according to Mr. Bailey, it is possible to remedy these troubles before it is too late. In this connection he is introducing his Master Medicine, Tanlac, which has been declared by thousands to be the most rational and satisfying preparation Tanlac, it is claimed, quickly over comes catarrth affections of the ston - ach, liver and kidneys, nervousness, coughs, colds and the like.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1916.

IF YOU WANT FRUIT YOU MUST SPRAY TREES

The Time to Begin First Campaign Against Insect Pests Is In February. The season is at hand when the first of the year’s spraying mu't be begun. The campaign against scale insects is generally waged in February, and even now is in progress in various sections of the state. The orchardist, of course, knows his business and needs no instruction in what to do and how to do it, and no urging to do it. But the average farmer who makes no specialty of fruit raising, who has only a small orchard from which he hopes to obtain fruit enough for his own needs, is inclined to give little if any attention to spraying. It seems to him hardly Worth while. But it is worth wihle. If the trees are worth anything at all they are worth spraying. Spraying means healthy trees and better trees. There is Lmall excuse nowadays for anyone to be taken in by the fakir. There is an easy and cheap way to guard against him. When he appears, have him tell what he proposes to do, and then, if any doubt as to the futility of l*is plan remains in the owner’s mind, the doubt can be dispelled by referring the matter to the state entomologist. But fear of the fakir and a general suspicion of sprays should not interfere with spraying. There are plenty of reliable sprayers- andreliable sprays available at fair prices.

Former Jasper County Boy Candidate For Representative.

—George E. Hershman, now-an attorney at Crown Point, but a native of Jasper county and a former resident of this city, has announced as a candidate for the democratic nomination for representative in congress of the tenth congressional district. Reno Isherwood, publisher of The Tippecanoe County Democrat, is also announced as a candidate. While the temperance issue is not before the public in any manner this year, the attitude of candidates in this respect is not to be lost sigth of and .Mr. Isherwood is a pronounced wet, having supported that side of the local option fights in Lafayette. Mr. Hershman is a dry, having been always and devotedly on that side of the question. Isherwood has claimed to be anti-machine and is a sort of political free lance and is presumed to have the support of Editor Babcock, which is not worth very much. Mr. Hershman should get the votes of every-democrat in Jasper county. He is a clean and honorable young man and Jasper county democrats are of that kind. However, the nomination is,sure to ibe a hollow honor unless the unexpected happens, for Congressman Will R. Wood; republican, is certain to be returned to congress by a larger majority than last year.
