LEE ADAMS MARRIED IN HAMMOND SUNDAY

To Miss Marguerite Brown, of This City, By Rev. J. C. Parrett— Both H. S. Graduates.

The many friends of Mr. Lee Adams and Miss Marguerite Brown were surprised Sunday afternoon when telegrams were received in this city announcing their marriage in Hammond by Rev. J. C. Parrett, former pastor of the Presbyterian church of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Adams secured their marriage license late Saturday evening, driving to Hammond Sunday afternoon, where the marriage ceremony was quietly solemnized. Miss Brown is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. V. Brown and is a charming and attractive young lady and a graduate of the 1915 class of Rensselaer high school. Following her graduation here she returned to her home in Montana, later returning with her family to this city, where she has since continued to reside. Mr. Adams is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Marion I. Adams, of south of Rensselaer and is one of the estimable young men of Rensselaer. He graduated from the local high school in 1913. The groom is, with his father, the owner of the Auto Equipment Company and automobile salesman. Following their marriage the young couple left via automobile for Chicago, where they will remain for a few days before returning here to take up* their residence.

Men Charged With Lee Robbery .n Monticello Jail.

Sheriff B. D. McCoHly went to Tipton Saturday, where he was called to get four men charged with the robbery .of stores at Lee last week. The names of the men are Herbert Smith, alleged to be the ringleader of the gang and a big fellow, Earl Smith, a brother of the first mentioned man, and two others by the names of Barrett and McNeef. They gave then homes as being in Howard and Hamilton counties.

A farmer near Laurens, Ind., was responsible for the capture of the men, of whom he had’been suspicious for some time. The men were unloading merchandise at a farm home hear Laurens and the farmer immediately the sheriff of Tipton county, who took them into custody. Sheriff McColly placed them in the White county jail, where they are awaiting a heating. About SSO worth of the stolen merchandise was fouhd in thdtf possession and it is said that they have practically confessed to the robbery. They claimed, however, that they had nothing to do with the Culp store robbery, but it is entirely probable that they did. Sam Jacks, of the Jacks general store, went to Monticello Sunday, where he identified the merchandise. • -

One of the men t is said to have been a frequent visitor in White county and it is probable that they have been implicated in other robberies in this section. Sheriff MicOollv deserves a great deal of credit with the way he is handling his work and the times that Ben does not return with whoever he goes after is rare indeed. It was really the place of the White county sheriff to go after the fugitives as the robbery occurred in that county.

This Will Happen When the Draft Bill Becomes a Law.

Here is what will happen when the draft hill, now before congress, becomes a law: 1. The president will designate My proclamation a day of registration, the voting precinct being used as the smallest unit for enrollment. The governors of the various states will be asked to have the sheriffs of the counties appoint registers to take the names of all males, between the ages of 19 and 25. Those who refuse to enroll will be arrested. 2. The state officers will exempt from military service “.persons engaged in industries, including agricultural, found to be necessary to the maintenance of the military establishment or the effective operation of the military forces, or the maintenance of national interests during the emergency.” v 3. Those" not exempted will be reported to the war department, which will make further exemptions. 4. It is estimated that by August 1 the 500,000 men desired will be in government must provide equipment for the recruits. z 5. It is estimate# that the registration will result in an enrollment of 7,000,000, and about 40 per cent of this number will be weeded out on account of physical disabilities. The 500,000 to be selected from the remaining 60 per cent will be chosen by lot.

LEWIS PAYNE FACES BURGLARY CHARGE

Is Said to Have Been Implicated In the Theft of the Gwin Car—ln _ Jail Awaiting Hearing. Lewis Payne was placed in jail Sunday evening by Deputy Sheriff John Robinson, following his arrest on a warrant sworn out on a burglary and grand larceny charge in connection with the theft of the J. C. Gwin automobile last Thursday night. Scott Chesnut is also in jail facing the same change with Payne. Payne was annested here in Rensselaer Sunday evening. Deputy Robinson went to Hammond Saturday afternoon thinking that he would catch Payne in that city, but got no trace of him. The circumstances relating to the theft of the car were published in the Saturday issue of The Republican, but Payne’s name was not published in connection with the article, as the authorities asked that nothing be said of Payne until he was found and arrested. A preliminary hearing will<be given the men soon, probably some time Tuesday. It is not known at this time whether or not they will plead guilty or stand trial. The authorities are confident that Payne was connected with the matter along with Chesnut, but are not sure whether the two of them entered the garage and took the car.

Attempted Suicide At Monon Station In Monticello.

B. F. Lassiter, of Westfield, with suicidal intent, swallowed an ounce of acid at the Monon station in Monticello and lay down on a baggage truck on the east side of the station to die. A stomach pump was immediately secured, the operation being performed in the presence of a large crowd of people who stood about the truck on which the would-be suicide lay.

PREMIER AUTOMOBILE TURNS COMPLETELY OVER

To Avoid a More Serious Accident, Driver Turns Car to Road’s Side and Saves Lives.

•Four $2,000 Premier automobiles were being driven Sunday from Indianapolis to Chicago. On account of the difficulty to secure cars of the railroads a great many deliveries are being made by driving the cars from the factories to their destination. That this will be an expensive experiment for the James Levy Motor Co., of Michigan Avenue, Chicago, there is no doubt, for they now have at the Alfred Donnelly farm 2 miles north of Rensselaer, a fine hew Premier practically ruined. That the driver escaped with his life seems a miracle. The party driving the ill-fated car was H. S. Snodgrass, purchasing agent for the James Levy Motor Co., of Chicago. He was in charge of the four cars and at the time of the accident was driving the last car. The cars were driving through Rensselaer at a pretty high rate of speed. Mr. Snodgress claims that he was going about thirty-five miles an hour, but Sam Karnowsky, who was near when the accident occurred, says that he was going much faster than that. In any event, just before reaching the crossing at Alfred Donnelly’s farm north of town Mr. Snodgrass saw a four-jpassenger car coming toward him as it turned the corner coming frqm the east. Mr. Snodgress savs that the car pulled in on his side of the road and in order to avoid a collision he was forced to guide his car to the side of the road and in doing so his car turned a complete sommersault and he was thrown forward through the windshield. Whoever the parties were in the other car, they did not stop and their number was not obtained. ■Sam Karnowsky and family were at the Donnelly corner when the accident occurred and on account of the speed of the other cars that had massed he pulled to the * side of the road and had stopped his car. He went to the relief of Mr. Snodgrass and found him bleeding very profusely. He phoned to a Rensselaer doctor and the injured man was brought in to the county hospital,' where his wounds were bandaged. Mr. Snodgrass had several gashes on the face but none of them were serious. The most severe injury was to his left arm and it was necessary to tie up several arteries which had been cut on the windshield. A slight bruise to one knee was the only other injury. He was able to take the 6:50 p. m. train for his home in Chicago, the other three parties continuing the trip with the cars they were driving. The accident occurred about 4 f». m. Sunday. My. Snodgress was at one time employed on a farm near Remington. The scene of this accident is a very dangerous crossing and signs should be placed warning all travelers to drive slow.

K. of C. Had Enjoyable Meeting Sunday Afternoon.

The Rensselaer and Collegeville orders of the Knights of Columbus were visited Sunday by J. Madison Walsh, of Washington, Ind., district deputy, T. J. Connelly, and Grand Knight Atchetz, of Lafayette council. In the afternoon the officers talked to the students at a meeting held at the college audiorium and were afterward entertained by the St. Joseph faculty. On May 20th the Knights are going to confer degree work in the first three degrees of the order at Collegeville and at present 17 students and faculty have applied for membership. and many more are expected by, that time. In the evening the visiting officers were entertained by the Rensselaer Columbus club at St. Augustine's parochial school hall and at this, meeting it was decided to establish a council of K. of C.’s in Rensselaer, when all candidates from this city will be given the degrees at the joint initiation of St. Joe on the above named date. At present the Columbus club has many applicants and the decision to establish a council in this city will doubtless be the cause of the regular class of candidates taking the first three degrees on May 30. The Columbus club will hold a business meeting Tuesday evening to complete the plans for establishing th? council here. It is currently reported-that one of onr'yaimg; men Is the victim of Tittle Dan Cupid, but as vet the rumor has not been confirmed. - -

SPRAYING ADDS TO FRUIT YIELD

Cure of Orchard Disease Explained In Article By State Food Director. . By State Food Director Christie. In the campaign for a greater food production in Indiana the farm orchard should receive attention. Ap£les are no longer considered a luxury nt a necessity and an important food. The practice of canning, evaporating and drying apples makes it possible to have this fruit throughout the whole year. The summer sprays have for their purpose the control of plant diseases, such as the black rot, apple scab, bitter rot, leaf spot, apple rust, apple blotch, sooty blotch and fly speck fungus and the control of. the insects already mentioned. The standard materials used in the summer sprays for apples are lime sulphur, Bordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead. Nicotine sulphate is added when the occasion demands, for soft bodied insects such as plant lice. The first summer spray is applied to control apple scab, curculio, canker worms, etc. Use Bordeaux mixture (4-6-50) with one pound of powdered arsenate of lead or two pounds of paste arsenate of lead to fifty .gallons of Bordeaux mixture. Apply when the leaf .buds burst, taking care to finish before the flower buds open. The second summer spray is the important spray in the control of the first brood of codling moth. Use diluted lime sulphur solution at a strength of one degree Baume, which is approximately one and one-quar-ter gallons of comniercial concentrated lime sulphur solution to fifty gallons of water, to which is added one pound of powdered arsenate of lead or two pounds of paste arsenate of lead. Apply this just as soon as the petals fall. It must be remembered that the calyx cup begins to dose when the petals fall and since the majority of the apple worms, which hatch from the eggs of the codling moth, enters the apple at the Calyx end, it is extremely important that some of the spray solution be forced into each calyx cup. If plant lice are infesting the leaves, they may be controlled by adding one-third pint of nicotine sulphate to every fifty gallons of spray solution. .
