Pine Village Will Play Valparaiso October First.

A letter from Claire Rhoades, manager of the Pine Village football eleven, states that he has decided on October Ist as the date to play the Valparaiso eleven in this city. The Pine Village eleven will open their season next Sunday when they play the Kirklin team at Pine Village. Jim Thorpe, so the letter states, will be with the Villagers immediately after the baseball season closes, but it is not known whether the Indian will be here on that date or not, as the American Association, the league in which he plays baseball will not close for a week or two yet. Many other topnotch pigskinners will he in the lineup, however, and Rensselaer fans will have a chance of seeing a team that will take them back to the olden days. Providing that the crowd is large enough, Rhoades states that some more games will be scheduled for this city and then Rensselaer will sure have the opportunity of seeing Thorpe. The game will be well advertised in all the neighboring towns and should prove a great drawing card.

FRED HAMILTON IN ENGLISH ARMY NOW

Son of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Hamilton, of This City, Now On Way To London. Fred Hamilton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis H. Hamilton, of this city, is now a member of the English army and is on his way to London, England, where after a few more months of training he will go to the front with the Canadian troops to join the allies in their war against the German Empire. Fred left Rensselaer about two years ago for the Dakotas, where he was for a time employed on newspapers in Jamestown and Fargo, N. D. This; young Amerieanvolunteer to the Canadian forces is a graduate of the Rensselaer high school, and -after his graduation here’went to college at the North Dakota Agricultural College. Fred left Dakota in April for Canada and while there decided to join the army on the promice of getting to see Europe and a chance to get to the front. Hamilton went from Dakota to Winnipeg, Canada, and from there went to Halifax, in northern Canada, and it was at this place that he joined the army on the 23rd of April, where he was given steady'drilling until September 13th. His training period was spent at Fort William, Ontario. He sailed with the rest of the troops on September 13 for London, England, where the troops will be forced to attend a military school for the next few weeks before getting into the war zone. Before leaving Canada, the cities through which the. troops passed gave them a great sendoif and many big military parades in which Fred participated, were given. There is great enthusiasm among the Canadian tnoops and they are among the finest drilled soldiers in the w’orld and are made up by some of the best and richest families in England, as well as the laboring classes and those who join for adventure. Fred belongs to the 144th Canadian Oversea Battalion, which is made up of the former class. The young Rensselaer soldier has been advanced to the rank of corporal with a promise of being made a lieutenant later on. Cards received by Fred’s parents in the last few days state that he is now on’ the ocean and expects to reach England in a week or so. Some pictures have also been received by them, showdng the young adventurer in his army clothes. The group picture of the company to w-hich Hamilton belongs shows them to be a sturdy and fine looking bunch of soldiers, well seasoned for a vigorous campaign in the European war. Fred is the only Jasper county boy, so far as known, who has enlisted for service in the foreign country and the experience should prove to be a great one for him and he will be well repaid for the hardships that he must undergo if he is sent to the front.

Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Porter Had Fine Trip to the East.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter V. Porter and son, Charles, returned from New York state this morning, where they have been visiting for the past few days with Ross Porter, who is the manager of a farm near Randolph. The trip was made via automobile. Mr. Porter also spent a day with John Knapp, a former Rensselaer resident who is now farming in that state and is getting along nicely, and also spent a day with Wm. Broadie, formerly of Remington, and Mrs. Ed Peck and Ike Pock, also formerly of Remington. Mr. Porter states that the crop conditions in that state are about the same as they are here, but not not up to usual standard due to the cold and wet spring and the unusually hot summer. Ross Porter will return to.-Indiana Christmas for an extended visit. He has hot yet decided to buy a farm but will probably do so later, as he likes the country and thinks that the prospects for farming there are excellent. The return trip was made by way of Jamestown, Buffalo, Niagara Falls and the Great Lakes, about 1,400 miles in all. The Porters had a fine trip and returned with Indiana air in all .their tires.
