The Evening Republican .

After this Trustee Wood made a very interesting talk which was very greatly appreciated., He then called on Frank-Morrow, who gave in a most .masterly way a reading from Riley. Worth McCarthy was also called upon and proved to be very popular with the pupils. Harvey Wood, father of Trustee Wood, was called upon and he told those present of the changed conditions and was greatly pleased that the young people were able to enjoy so 7m;my~advantages little dreamed of when he Ivas a boy. The trustee had purchased a large flag for the school and this was presented by'"’ County Superintendent Lamson in a very fitting manner and his inspiring remarks were thorough ly appreciated by all. ' " Had the day been favorable there would have been an immense crowd present, but, in spite of the rain and storm there was a large crowd and the day was greatly enjoyed. This move is a great step forward in the progress of the educational affairs of the county and those responsible for it are, to be congratulated and thanked. . i .

There 'was recently held at Galasburg, 111., a dispersion sale of Shorthorn cattle which represented 24 years of careful attention given to the developing of a most valuable herd of thoroughbreds. This was the work of Robert Failon, who at the sale gave some splendid advice which v as undoubtedly heeded by our young stockman, Floyd Amsler, who lives north and west of this city some four miles. The March 10th, 1917, issue of the Shorthorn World has the followin''’ in reference to Mr. Failon: “But though the cattle have gone to new homes as far west as California and as far south as Tennessee, and other men will reap the material hftnefitsQf.alltheseyears-Qfpa.ticn l : labor, nothing can- take away from him the sterling reputation that no lias acquired for honesty, integrivj' and sincerity. He developed his herd to its present merit, as he says, ‘By the use of good bulls on as good females as I could secure, and I am proud to be identified with them as e the seller.’ To any young breeder starting in the business and wishing to follow the same rough but certain pathway to success his advice would be simple: Breed good cattle, and be honest —and make a fortune.” The same paper has the following in regard to Mr. Amsler: “F, C. Amsler, Rensselaer, Ind., was' a 'heavy buyer of Scotch topped cat - tie? and got some good ones at comparatively low prices. “F. C. Amsler, Rensselaer, Ind.

TOWNSHIP CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL DEDICATED

Splendid Public Building Dedicated With Appropriate Ceremonies and Large Attendance.

There was a large crowd at the dedication of the Marion township school Friday. All of the schools of the township -were dismissed and the teachers together with large number of pupils and patrons gathered to spend a very pleasant day as the guests of the teachers and pupils of the new building. A sumptuous dinner was served at noon by the good ladies of the township and from the great loads of good things to eat one would think that the H. C. L. had lost out entirely. After dinner a very interesting program was rendered by the pupils of the consolidated school. It consisted of recitations, a short play and songs, all given in a most excellent manner. This was followed by a very interesting address, by John O’Connor, exsheriff of Jasper county. ±l6 described at some length his trip as a naval cadet to the eastern hemisphere. No one other than Mr. O’Connor could quite so interestingly describe so important a journey. * Mr. O’Connor's deep patriotism gives him an enthusiasm thafis very inspiring.

Mother of County Commissioner Welsh Called to Her Reward.

Goodland Herald. Jane Moulton, daughter of Joseph M. and Eliza 'Moulton, was bom on 'March 16, 1840, at Cicero, N. Y. Died March 11, 1917, aged 76 years, 11 months and 25 days. 7 She was married to George Welsh January 3, 1867. •On March 9th, 1867, they moved to Goodiand, Ind., and settled on their farm, 2 qjiles east of town, where they have been permitted to on joy fifty years of married life. To this union were born three sons, Chas. A., of Goodland; Herbert J., of Wabash, Ind., and Wm. H., of Alba, Michigan. She united with the M. E. church of Godland about twenty years ago. She always did the best she could to live a constant Christian life. She was a faithful wife, a loving mother, always wiling to sacrifice' her own interests for the welfare of her family and friends. _ _ She is survived by her husband, three sons, five granddaughters, one grandson, three brothers, five sisters, (one sister having preceded her to the Great Beyond) and a host of friends who deply mourn her death. Funeral services were held from the Methodist church Tuesday afternon at 2:30 conducted by Rev. W. C. Aye and asisted by Rev. P. C. Johnston of the Presbyterian church. The floral offerings were beautiful and showed in a way the marked esteem the deceased is held in the community. Interment was made in the Goodland; cemetery.

Not All Preachers’ Children Are Bad.

A very interesting incident occurred recently at DePauw University, Greencastle, Ind., when the twb“ young people’s societies —the Young Men’s and the Women’s Christian Associations —elected their respective presidents. The result of the choice was the selection of a brother and sister, Miss Mary Royce and Joseph Royce, daughter and son of Rev'. Clarence D. Royce, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church, Rockville, Ind. This is one of the most interesting things we have f und in the religious life of our colleges for some time. Through the years of their educational course these two young people, from a Methodist par-, sonage, have been doing their Christian duty in the college associations for Christian young people until, in due season, they have come to stand on the front line and receive a recognition of leadership as presidents of the two organizations. What a beautiful tribute to the father and mother. The Methodist preacher’s children are proving more and more an honor to their parents. Good, true, Christian training and religious education do not fail when properly directed. We not only congratulate the young people but the parents as well.—Western Christian Advocate.

Farmers Buying Tractors.

Firmin Thompson, Simon Son, Jonn Eger and Marlatt & Chamberlin have each purchased a Steele Mule' tractor. Delos Thompson purchased one of these last fall. This tractor is made at Joliet, 111. It is what is called a 13-30 power machine, which means 13 horsepower at the drawbar and 30 horsepower at the belt.* There have been a consider able number of other makes erf tractors sold in this county and possibly the day is not far distant /when they will do the greater part of the work on most of the larger farms here and CTsewhere. W. M. Brown, of near Fair Oaks, was in Rensselaer today and renewed his subscription to The Republican. He reports prospects for a busy year and hopes.for an abundant harvest.

JEFFERSON AND WINGATE DROP

Two of the Favorites Eliminated In First Round —Other Teams Run True to Form. - * Friday Scores. Muncie 31, Lizton 8. Kokomo 19, South Bend 16. Bloomington 23, Jefferson 14. Martinsville 27, Washington 24. Rochester 36, Wingate 15. Richmond 29, Columbus 20. Vincennes 42, Bluffton 18Emerson (Gary) 53, Rockville 16. Lebanon 34, Trafalgar 14. ' Kokomo 22, Muncie 16. Martinsville 18, Bloomington 16. Two real surprises marked the first day of the finals in the chase for the state basketball crown at Bloomington Friday. The elimination of Jefferson high, of Lafayette, last year’s champions, at the hands of the small, inexperienced Bloomington five, a much under-rated team, caused the greatest astonishment to the fans of the state. The Bloomington five used four substitutes during the final half and when one of their men was removed from the game for four personal fouls, the Bloomington lads played the final nine minutes with only four men on the floor. Lafayette was greatly handicapped by the absence of Haigis. The determine-. tion and confidence that marked the sectional title of the Jefferson five was absent. ..... Another surprise was the one-sided score that Rochester ran up* against Wingate. This game was expected to be the hardest fought of the day, but Wnigate never had a look in and at half time the score was 25 to 0. The large score rolled v bv Emerson of Gary against Rockville caused the fans to like their chances of annexing the bunting. The Muncie-Lizton game caused no surprise and the former had but little trouble in disposing of their adversaries. Kokomo and South Bend, two of the strongest teams in the tourney, had a hard fought game but the Bearcats proved to have the better reserve power and won. Martinsville won two games during the day and loomed up strong but will probably be eliminated in this morning’s game by the Kokomo five. Lebanon easily, disposed of Trafalgar and Vincennes was an easy winner over Bluffton. Richmond had but little trouble disposing of Coluinbus, and’ Muncie was easy prey for Kokomo. Today’s Contests. 8 a. m. Rochester vs Richmond. 9 a. in. Emerson vs Vincennes. 10 a. m. Lebanon vs Kendalville. 2 p. m.- Rochester or Richmond vs Eoierson or Vincennes. 3 p. m. Lebanon or Kendallville vs Kokomo or Martinsville. 8 p. m. Winner at 2 o’clock vs winner at 2 o’clock. In the Rochester-Richmond game this morning the latter should be eliminated according to form shown of the two teams so far in the tourney. An hour later should find the field further diminished by the absence of Vincennes as Gary should win. Leba iion should win with a team of substitutesfrom Kendalville, which will prove s big help in their favor and give them the edge over the other teams which meet stifferdpperitiofe; Jjlt 2 o’clock Rochester and Emerson should get together and when the smoke has cleared away the Steel City five will undoubtedly be among the missingv 3:l)0 j. m. should find one.of. the tourqey winners in action. Kokomo if bur dope is correct, should take the court against the Lebanon five. These two teams, really look to be the class of the journey along With Rochester. Lebanon should win, but one never can tell and mayhaps the unexpected will happen and the automobile city five will be returned the victor. The final game of the tournament at 8 o’clock this evening should find the teams representing Lebanon and Rochester locking horns if our reasoning is correct. Lebanon should win. Their impressive record for the season makes them look the .better of the teams. Rochester came loom a weak district. That’s our dope. Lebanon to win, with Rochester, Kokomo and Emerson close up.

Mrs. Clara Coen Visited By Relatives From a Distance.

Mrs,. Clara Coen, widow of William S. Coen and by a former marriage of Madison Makeever, enjoyed two very interesting although short visits from relatives from a distance the past week. Early in the week a nephew, Harvey Scott, of Pittsburg, Kans., came especially to see her. , Mrs. Coen, it will be remembered, suffered an apoplectic stroke several weeks ago and for the past five or six weeks has been at the county hospital, where she has a special nurse and is making quite encouraging improvement. Mr. Scott is engaged in the drug business at Pittsburg and Hutchinson, having two stores at each place. When a very small boy his mother, who was Mrs, Coen’s sister, died, and she'raised him for a number of years. Friday M. M. Makeever, of Boston, Mass., the youngest son of Madison Makeever, came to see her. He had been on a business trip to Minneapolis, Minn., and had hoped to remain here over Sunday, but the threatened railroad strike caused him to depart for the east on the same day of his arrival. He spent almost the entire time here with Mrs. Coen at the hospital. iM. M. Makeever will be remembered here by/the name of Mell, and his many old friends would enjoy an opportunity to visit with him for a fey; days but his business keeps him so occupied that all of his visits to this city have 'been of very short duration. He and Sanford Makeever, under the firm name of Makeever Bros., have been- very successful m r mining investments and have offices} in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburg. Their mines are located mainly in Montana and Mexico. In the farmer state they have valuable copper mines and in Mexico they possess gold and silver mines. The latter properties have been shut down I until recently owing to the revolu- • tion in Mexico, but they are now op- ’ ening up and good returns were re- I ceived during February.-

“Cabiria” Proved to Be A Wonderful Production.

“Cabiria,” the picture shown at the Princess Firday evening proved to be one of the most wonderful productions ever shown on the screen in this city. The elaborateness of the picture caused everyone to marvel and realize the progress that has been taken in the film world during the past decad.e, The picture is Said to be a million dollar production and it may be easily seen that this is true. The setting of the picture was in Italy and the time supposed to be during the trouble, between the Carthagenians and the Romans. Ancient methods of fighting were depicted and proved to be very interesting as well as instructive to all. There were 12 reels and 1500 scenes.
