Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 150, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 June 1916 — Fresh home-grown strawberries at Rhoads’ grocery every day. [ARTICLE]

Fresh home-grown strawberries at Rhoads’ grocery every day.

Mrs. Frank Vanatta and daughter, Marion, spent yesterday with Mrs. E. P. Honan. They will accompany Mr. Vanatta on a three months’ trip to South America, starting next Sunday and sailing from New York July Ist. They will make three stops at -the large cities enroute.

The constant rainfall in the county has had a very depressing effect upon the farmers and business conditions have suffered pretty generally. The cornfields have been under water a great deal of the time and has been too wet to plow, giving the weeds a good start, and if the weather does not brighten up very shortly the corn crop for the year of 1916 will be way below the standard, both in quality and quantity.
