REPORT ON CHARITY ENTERTAINMENT FI-FI

Financial Report Shows That Charity Board Made About SIOO From Play. Knowing that the public, who were so genenouy in their co-operation with the Charity Board in their recent endeavor to make money, would be interested in the financial outcome of the same, we submit the following report of receipts and expenses: Sale of tickets, 3 nights.. .$258.25 Business men’s donation ... 25.00 Total cash receipts $283.75 Expenses. Moving piano $ 8.75 Express 4.81 Rooms and meals, producer.. 11.00 Opera house 38.00 Stage equipment 12.90 Printing, programs, ads .... 22.50 Miscellaneous 5-27 Total expenses $106.23 This report shows that there is a balance of $177.52, fifty per cent, or $88.76. A later donation from the Rensselaer Republican and smaller amount donated brought this total up to SIOO, the sum realized by the charity board. MRS. J. W. HORTON, Chairman Financial Committee. To Mrs. A. L. Burton belongs the first credit for arranging the entertainment and being responsible for the general management. Mrs. Burton selected as her helpers persons who could not be excelled in these lines. Mrs. E. J. Randle, who selected the talent, and Mrs. J. H. Horton, who had the strenuous work of managing the sale of the tickets. The ladies who acted as the chaperones deserve much credit, and the ladies who sold the tickets are deserving of praise; also the parents who co kindly brought their children to be in the cast and bought tickets besides, and last, but by no means the least, the general public, who were so generous in heir patronage, deserve great credit. The money was nearly all needed to pay a long-standing overdraft at the bank and outstanding bills.

State Game Laws Are Now Being Rigidly Enforced.

During the past week there have been fifty-four arrests for violations of the state game laws, regulating the hunting of wild game. Five arrests were made in Madison county, two in Grant county and five in Cass county. The arrests were for hunting without a license and using ferrets. There was a conviction in every case, the fines running from $25 to S3O.

There is considerable speculation as to whether there will be, radical changes in the fish and game warden’s office when the state administration changes hands. Doubtless a new head will be appointed, but many people are of the opinion that a great part of the present deputies, who have been thoroughly trained and who have done efficient work and in a large measure have compelled respect of the laws for the protection of game, wijl be retained.

Indiana Headlight Law Has Been Held Valid.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 12.—The validity of the Indiana headlight law was upheld yesterday by a decision handed down by the supreme court of the United States. The court affirmed the decision of the Indiana supreme court and of the Marion county superior court, both of which had held the law valid. The headlight law passed by the legislature of 1909 authorized the railroad commission to issue an order directing the railroads doing business in Indiana to equip their locomotives with electric not less than 1,500 can^u#«*e ; Vihe r nNtif aS order to this efrect. In 1910 the Vandalia railroad began an action in Marion county seeking to overthrow the statute and the order as invalid and unconstitutional.

FARM WOODLOTS

Value of Forested Areao Frequently Overlooked —Timber In Some Cases the Moat Profitable Crop. A permanent woodlot la an essential part of a well-equipped farm. In heavily wooded States especially farmers are likely to overlook this fact and reckteqaly cut, misuse, or cleat up their forest areas. It does not oc- - cut to them s that it may be advisable to allow 'thrifty, immature timber to mature rather than to remove It at a loss; and that it is often better to practice Intensive agriculture on areas already cleared than to clear adc Atonal areas which are in growing timber. The one direct economic reason for the use of land as woodlot is that on some areas timber is the most profitable crop that can be grown. This, of course, is especially true of pool and rough land. Where ajl the land is adaptable to more valuable crops the woodlot should occupy only a small part of the farm area. There are a great manr indirect considerations, however, which justify the maintenance of a permanent woodlot on the farm. The important ones, a number of which are usually active in any particular case, are; (1) For convenience of home use for fuel, posts, and other farm needs; v 2) as a windbreak, for buildings or crops; (3) as a shelter for stock; (4) for protection of land from erosion; (5) to furnish work for men and teams during spare time; (6) for purs-, ly osthetic reasons and for recreation purposes, for which reasons alone a farm with a well-located grove of trees, however small, wilT sell for more than one without. Thus a woodlot may at the same time increase the general prosperity of the farm, add to its comfort as a home, and enhance its value as an Investment. The reason farmers have not given as full consideration to the woodlot as it deserves Is that they have not had complete enough knowledge of the market possibilities of various woodlot products and of the rate of growth and possible yields per acre of properly cared for stands of dofferent species and ages, or that they have considered only the present need and have not looked 1 ahead. Special attentibn is now being given by the Forest Service to these questions and to the question of improved methods of marketing, Information about the tides of various kinds of wood and the markets for them has been compiled for a number of States. In some cuses this information has been published by the State Foresters in WoodUsing Industry Reports and in Handbooks for Marketing Woodlot Products. A new bulletin prepared by the Forest Service (Farmers' Bulletin 715, Measuring and Marketing Woodlot Products) is a handbook of practical information for farmers regarding the measurement of timber, the forms in which wood lot products are sold, the methods of sale, and the way to find a market. Another just published (Fanners’ Bulletin 711, The Care and Improvement of the Woodlot) contains information intended to assist tne farmer in managing his woodlot so that it will yield the best quality and the largest amount of timber of which it is capable. The farmer too often considers only local and Immediate uses of a woodlot, overemphasizing them and disregarding other functions that might ultimately prove to be more important. For example, where agri** culture Is entering heavily wooded regions, tiipVer is likely to be considered ofily an incumbrance. In long settted fasting regions, where most of wmher has been cut and only a few i trees are left, the fanners may prefer to save the remnant for the shade it gives to stock or buildings or because it improves the appearance of the farm. In prairie country, protection to grain crops, orchards, stock, or buildings, together with service as a convenient supply of wood for farm consumption, may cause owners to place a high value on their woodlots. In mountainous regions near thickly populated manufacturing centers the woodlot may be valued for its wood-producing capacity alone. The temptation is to forget or underestimate those functions which are not obviously and immediately beneficial. As a matter of fact, the loss obvious functions are often the very ones which are. ljlwJi. .in rnktßsL value in the long run. For example, many of the Minnesota farmers who totally cleared their lands would be glad to have their woodlots back again for protective and other purposes; and farmers in the Central States already regret the abuse which has robbed their woodiota of the capacity to yield a wood crop of Increasing value on the poorer soils of the farm. It Is, therefore, greatly to the Interest of all farmers to consider not nniy the present but the possible future usefulness of a farm woodlot.

WILL ENTENTE ALLIES ACCEPT PEACE OFFER?

Offer of Teutonic Allies to End War Will Not Be Accepted By Entente Allies. That Germany’s terms for peace will not be accepted is perfectly evident # . The teutons offer the complete restoration of Belgium. The ententes will demand that and a very large indenmnity. Germany offers to evacuate all territory captured in northern France during the war. France will demand that and the restoration of Alsace and. Lorraine. The entente will not stand for the creation of Poland and Lithuania as independent nations. The Teutons ask for the retention of Servia by Austria-Hungary and that Bulgaria be restored her territory now occupied by the entente. Servia must be given back her country if Bulgaria is to receive hers. Italy will not be willing to restore to Austria the territory she has taken during the war. Germany demands the restoration of all her colonial possessions in Africa, the far east, and other parts of the globe. For this concession what does she offer England? The retention of Constantinople by Turkey will be contended against strongly by Russia. While a careful study of the terms offered by the Teutonic nations cannot be accepted by the Entente, this may be the beginning of a satisfactory conclusion of the war. To our mind, now is the time for our president to do everything in his power to end this dreadful conflict. Demand that the warring nations plaice the settlement with neutral nations. <* It is useless to discuss the victories won by either side and it is difficult to determine the real conditions now existing in the old world. But this thing must be perfectly clear to the warring nations and those at peace, that no good has come from the conflict thus far nor will humanity be beneifitted by a continuation of this “Devil’s Holiday.” The sacrifice of life has been appalling. The flower of the nations at war has been destroyed. Centuries will be required to heal the dreadful wound. ’ Let the Christian nations of the world see to it that the opportunity now offered be accepted and that by united effort this awful slaughter be stopped. The Christian church has' never had a greater opportunity than now to rally its forces and in His name supplant war with peace. If this force will it can bring about a settlement of this conflict. President Wilson can make his name immortal and can render the greatest service ever offered to mankind. Because we believe in right rather than might. Because we believe His kingdom will come upon earth and His will be done here, we believe that the war will end soon. We believe the love of our Maker and our brother will take the place of hatred and strife'

PRESIDENT’S SON IS ALIVE AT 100

BORN ON FOURTH OF JULY, AND HAS HOME ON FLORIDA 0 HOUSEBOAT OFTEN ROWS I HUNDRED MILES L../i Secret of Health Is to Keep Outdoors in Skyscraper or Tent Jacksonville, Fla.—Living quietly and happily in a little houseboat here Is the 100 year old son of one of the first presidents of the United States. He la Maj. Edward James Monroe, last living son of President James Monroe, whir celebrated bls centennial on the Fourth of July. It la a source of pride to the old man, equaled only by his pride in his continued physical and mental vigor, that his birthday la one the same day as that of the nation of which his father was fifth president A century of life, most of It strenuous, finds the major strong and active He likes a good walk or an hour or so at the oars, and still reads without glasses. He believes that the way he has lived has something to do with the prolongation of his years. Here are a* few of his rules: Live in the open air. Forty second story of a skyscraper is fine if you have one hand; if not, get a tent Bathe often and go on the water a great deal. A little row of 100 miles or so will help the circulation. Eat plain foods; don’t mix too many of them and don't eat too much, especially in summer. Two meals a day are enough. Nine hours sleep and —don’t worry The Major's houseboat has been dragged up clear of high tide, and is covered with evergreen vines. One has to stoop to enter, but the Interior is cozy and flooded with light, for there are windows on all sides. Abound the walls are rows of papers and books and pictures. "Ponce de Leon had the wrong idea,’’ the Major said. “The Fountain of Youth is everywhere. People just live wrong. You make your own fountain of youth. I'm just 20 now; see"— and the Major pulled up his sleeve, baring a browned arm. and knotted muscle, as hard as the pavement. “Feel that, and say whether or not I have discovered the fountain which the old Spaniard hunted everywhere. "Why, I’m as strong as I ever was. I walk and swim and row my oklff. Yes, I row that little boat hundreds of miles every year. Frequently I row to Mayport and back—that’s 50 miles—and we often go camping for weeks at a time—me and the other boys.” He emphasized the last two words. “Sometimes I can’t help letting go, pnd then all my memories get the better of me. But I always manage to come out the better man. I just say, Lookyhere, old boy, come out of that,* and then I go out and work my little flower garden. Flowers are a big help when you feel your troubles weighing heavy.’’ The Major says he remembers little of his father and mother. His mother died when he was very young and he wan taken by his foster mother, Lady Lauter, to England, where be lived until he was 12 years old. Then he ran away. He stowed aboard a ship and when discovered was put to work as a cabin boy, and there he stayed until he had seen much of the porta of the world. Then be ran away again, and av as a soldier of fortune, following the wars. Property and money came easy; he had that knack. But they went easily, too, and today his dearest possessions are his pictures of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, under whom he fought during the Civil War, and the tattered Confederate flag which al ways flies from the staff above his houseboat. These and his Confederate cross of honor, are his most cherished possessions.

FORWARD SPIRIT PREVAILS IN UNION

Township Has Made Wonderful Strides Within Past Year As Evidenced By Many Improvements. Union township is showing the way to the rest of the townships of Jasper county this year. This township, of which Parr is the capital, has made wonderful strides in the way of progression, as is evidenced by the fact that the present year they have voted for a new stone road to traverse the entire county, have built a fine new church and have just accepted a newly completed township school house. The old school building has been taken over by the Odd Fellows and will be improved and made into a lodge hall. All of these improvements have taken place within the short, space of the past few months and the residents say that they are not yet through. No one individual has been responsible for this, each and every citizen has done his part and the credit must be given to them all. It is up to the rest of the townships to fall into line and try to keep pace with Union. The new ‘Union township school house, which has been under construction for the past few months by the W. H. Wiley contracting company of Chicago, was turned over to the architect, who accepted it and in turn turned it over to Trustee Hammerton. The formal dedication of the building will take place next Friday evening, December 15th. Miss Adelaide S. Baylor, from the state department of public instruction, will deliver an address. There will also be talks by prominent citizens of this community and also songs and recitations by pupils, and Trustee Hammerton invites the public to attend. The building is a dandy, containing eight rooms. There are three class rooms, a trustee's room, a library and three large rooms in the basement which are given over for manual training and domestic science and play room. The building provides for the first eight grades, and Trustee Hammerton states that they could also take. care of the first two rooms of the high school, but of course they are not commissioned. The teachers are Miss Crawford, who comes from southern Indiana, and who has charge of the advanced rooms; Miss Dena Hansson, who has the intermediate grades, and Miss Katie Shields, who has charge of the primary grade. The latter two teachers are from this county. The school has about eighty pupils. The building contract was let for $9,285, the bonds for which were sold last summer. SI,OOO a. year are paid off on the debt. The heating plant cost $1,900, and was put in by E. D. Rhoades & Son, of Rensselaer. The building is nicely arranged and heated and all modem improvements and conveniences are contained in it. Union township has an able school head in George H. Hammerton, who also takes an active part in the civil life of the community and his work is much appreciated by all. The new Baptist church erected this fall has also helped in the improvement of the community in a social and religious way. Rev. F. H. Beard, of this city, is the pastor of the church. The Ladies’ Aid at Parr will hold a Christmas bazaar in this church Dec. 20th, in both the afternoon and evening, and the money will be used in helping to pay for the church. These ladies have already paid off S2OO of the church debt. The building complete cost $2,300, and no trouble is anticipated in paying off this debt in a short while. The work on the twenty-four miles of road in the township will probably be started early in the spring, if not before, and when completed will have done away with the worst stretch of road on the mani route of travel between Chicago and Rensselaer, and will help to maintain the travel of tourists, who had begun to take another route on account of this stretch of road. Although these improvements will cost the taxpayers of the county and Union township considerable more money, each and every one will bear the added burden cheerfully, for they will hate something to' show for their money—improvements they can point to with pride. Yes, we’ll have to hand it to Union for progressiveness in this year of our Lord 1916.
