TONIGHT AT PTHE 0 RINCESU MARY FULLER IN “THE STRENGTH OF THE WEAK” % FIVE ACTS Bluebird Admission 5 and 10 Cents

It is true that farmers have received good prices for their products during the past two years. But they know the reason why. They have been feeding the armies of Europe. When Roumania entered the war, the prospect of the opening of the Dardanelles and releasing the Russian wheat supply caused wheat in this country to drop 11 cents a bushel. That was a sample of the effect of the war on prices. The hi>»h prices of the past should not blind the farmers to the future. This country believes in protection. Free trade would Europeanize our standard of living. The end of the war must find us with a protective tariff law, and president Wilson is a free trader. Whether he kept up out of war or not, he is against protective Tates after the war.

YEGGS PAY VISIT TO FRANCESVILLE

Same Gang That Worked at Morocco Steal Ford Car and Obtain S6O In Money at Elevator.

The same bunch of yeggs that visited Morocco Wednesday night, chose Francesville as their next stopping place Friday night, and chose the same methods of working that they did in the Newton county town. The discovery that the robbers had paid Francesville a visit was not made until this Saturday morning. It seems that the band are confining tljeir efforts to small towns, where there is no police protection, and find their work easy. Other small towns in this vicinity should take heed and be. on the lookout for the strangers. Two young fellows came into Francesville on the evening train Friday and loafed about the streets during the streets during the evening, but no particular attention was paid to them. It is supposed that they are the fellows who committed the burglaries. ' ' '

The robbers first went to a blacksmith shop, where some tools were procured, the same as they did in Morocco. From the blacksmith shop they went to the Timmons garage, where a new Ford automobile belonging to Frank Markley was stolen, and also some robes and blankets, whicn they probably intended to use to muffle the sound if they found it‘necessary to blow a safe. Thus prepared, they went to the Crabb-Reynolds and Taylor elevator, where they worked the combination on the safe and obtained about S6O. So far as it known they visited no other places. It is supposed that the robbery occurred about 1:00 o’clock, as residents of the city heard an automobile going south about 1:30. No trace of the machine had been found this Saturday morning. The fact that several wore in the bunch that visited Morocco, while only two were at Francesville, leads to the belief that the gang splits up and in that way make two or three towns the same evening. There is little doubt that they are a band >f professionals, well versed in safecracking, as their work is done with so little noise.

Dr. Horace Ellis, of Vincennes, Was Here Today.

Dr. Horace Ellis, of Vincennes, candidate for superintendent of public spent last night and this morning in Rensselaer. Dr. Ellis came to Rensselaer late Friday evening from Mt. Ayr, intending to catch the night train south, but did not arrive here in time to make connections. Mr. Ellis spoke at Mt. Ayr in the evening 2nd left this morning for Kokomo and Noblesville, in which cities he is scheduled to speak today. Dr. Ellis states that he has covered the state pretty generally and that the outlook for a republican victory in this state is very bright.

THOUSANDS GRIP HAND OF NOMINEE

Meddling of Wilson In Administra fam is Flayed in Speech at South Bend.

South Bend, Ind., Sept. 22'— Chas. E. Hughes, speaking at the end of his most strenuous day of presidential campaigning, tonight told an audience that packed the high schoo auditorium here that the republican party and he, as its candidate, stood “four squared to the world” for the enforcement of the rights of Americans “without favor” throughout the world. “I will say on this question of American rights,” Mr. Hughes said, “that I stand for enforcement of American rights throughout the world with respect’to American lives, American property and American commerce. “The republican party and I, as its candidate, stand firmly and foursquared to the world for all American rights to be maintained without favor, in justice, according to the facts of each separate case. We have no Secret understanding, no intrigue, no unstated purposes.

“We cannot maintain our standing as a nation unless we arc correct. We cannot help Mexico or anybody else unless we are correct in our international policies. If we are to have the esteem of the world instead of the enmity of the world, if we are to have the friendship of Mexico, if we. Are to be of service, we must lay it down as an absolute principle, to be understood by all nations, thht we do not propose to meddle officiously in their affairs, but we do propose that the American fl.’.g shall be respected and that American citizens shall be protected everywhere. “That is not the path that leads to war, that is the path that leads to peace and security. You do not protect yourself by surrendering your known rights. It is the man of selfrespect, who firmly, but not truculently, represents himself as being able to maintain his just rights that is respected in the community. It is the nation that stands erect in its own self-respect, 4t is the nation that is firm and consistent in the maintenance of its known rights that wins the esteem of the world.” Mr. Hughes again assailed the administration for the enactment of the Adamson alw. . *

Jasper County Sunday School Convention Closed Friday.

The Friday morning session of the Sunday school convention opened with a general discussion of problems to be solved. Miss Lemen, state superintendent of the’ elementary work, gave an interesting and helpful address on the reasons and methods of doing missionary work in the Sunday school.

The ladies of the Rensselaer church served a fine dinner in the dining room of the M. E. church, where the convention was held. This social phase of the day’s program created a friendly atmosphere and added much to the success of the meeting.

A chart displaying the names of the thirteen townships was filled by Geo. N. Burnie as reports were given from the various townships, showing the work being done in each. Union had the highest standard, that of Top Notch. Carpenter was a close second. Marion was lacking in a proper increase in attendance, 10 per cent being required. Let us hope that every school will “get busy.” The meeting closed with a splendid address by Geo. N. Burnie on “Child Studs,” which every parent should have heard. The following officers were elected for the coming year: President, Geo. H. Hammerton. Ist vice, W. L. Bott. 2nd vice, Mrs. A. A. Fell. 3rd vice, James N. Leatherman. Sec-treas., Ethel C. Perknis.

Oil Well at Thayer to Be Shot Today.

Thayer, Ind., Sept. 22.—Wish ’em luck. Rain or shine, tomorrow the big well of the trio that the Thayer Oil & Gas Co. is drilling will be shot with 18 feet of oil in the pipe, a heavy pressure of gas and conditions just right, the occasion should be one of joy for Thayer. Eyes are turned Thayer-ward, as it is not at all improbable and very possible that one of the big oil fields of the company is to be developed here. A big crowd is coming from Chicago tomorrow, when the well is shot. The well would have been shot weeks ago had not the heavy water pressure caused the casing to collapse. A heavier casing has been built, Vice-President Cummins stated today.

Gas Users Warned of Big Rise in Crude Oil Prices.

Chicago, Sept. 22.— A price for crude oil that w,ill .startle consumers was predicted by C. I. Chamberlain, of Cleveland, one of the 150 delegates to the annual meeting of the National Petroleum association, which closed its meeting here with a banquet tonight. “We can offer no encouragement to users of gasoline,” Mr. Chamberlain said, “for the price of crude oil is increasing steadily and with the close of the war there will be an unprecedented demand for oil throughout Europe.” W. T. Jones, of Kansas City, expressed the same opinion and declared the output now exceeds $3,000,000 in value and that the output for 1915 was $225,000,000.

COURT PROCEEDINGS.

The case of the state of Indiana vs. Lester Leech, charged with practicing as a veterinary without a license, was heard in the circuit court Wednesday by Judge Hanley and a jury. The jury thought the defendant waa technically guilty of the charge and fixed his punishment at a fine of $1 and costs. In the case of the state vs. Icenogle, charged with the same offense, defendant took a change of venue and the case went to the White circuit court. - Friday the case of the state vs. Walters on the cahrge of illegal sale of liquor was being heard. The following state cases have been continued for the term by agreement: State vs. McConnell, State vs. Rice, State vs. Gundy and State vs. Cooper.

New Suits Filed.

State of Indiana v. William Weese; intoxication. Ray G. Anderson v. William F. Stump; suit on note. Demand $37.44. Ray G. Anderson v Carson Van Dusen; suit on note. Demand $75. The president’s determination to make more speeches in the campaign is coupled, we are now told, with the provision that he is not to speak before political audiences. That he will eschew political topics, however, is not hinted—so there seems to be a distinction without much difference. If Mr. Wilson wants to make speeches which are hot political in their -nature, that is, of course, all right. But when his purpose is to make speeches which shall have an effect upon his political candidacy, we cannot see why he should not be frank about it.
