Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 132, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 June 1916 — Took Tom Crockett On Auto Trip to Knox Thursday. [ARTICLE]

Took Tom Crockett On Auto Trip to Knox Thursday.

Mr. and Mrs. A. Halleck and son, Charles, made a trip to Francesville, Winamac and Knox Thursday, taking along with them Thomas Crockett, who so enjoyed the trip that he wants through The Republican columns to thank Mr. Halleck for taking him along. They went to Bass Lake, which they viewed from all sides. They found agricultural conditions generally quite badly delayed. -Very little corn had been cultivated and many fields were being disced up preparatory to planting and other fields were being plowed. • Most of the oats and corn had suffered because of the excessive wet weather. Occasionally some high and well drained piece of land had a good crop. It was 63 miles from Knox to Rensselaer and they covered the return distance in 2 hours and 20 minutes, arriving home at about 7:3. o’clock.
