FUTURE LOOMS FOR FARMERS

PROF.' G. I. CHRISTIE URGES AGRICULTURISTS TO GROW BUMPEft CROPS. [Lafayette, Ind., March 31.—Milk in Russia now costs $1.14 a quart against a price of 7 cents jn 1914; sugar is $16.77 a pound; ham, $8.46 a pound; butter, $11.29 a pound, and black bread, $1.58 a pound, against 14 cents five years ago. These figures were given today by Prof. G. I. Christie, assistant secretary of agriculture, in a letter to. members of the Indiana Corn Growers’ Association, emphasizing the importance of maximum food production and support o£ the Victory Loan. The figures were gathered by a representative of the Department of Agriculture, who only a few days ago completed a trip through Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary. Correspondingly high prices are reported with the central powers. The people are flocking from the country to the are not producing food, said Prof. Christie. The population of Vienna has increased $1,000,000 in the last few months, he said, and the milk supply has decreased from 900,000 to 90,000 litres a day. “It is reported that the first Amercan foodstuffs have reached Germany within the last two weeks,’’ said Mr. Christie. “The American flour was sold to the people in pound lots at 87 to 90 cents a pound. There is every evidence that every pound of food that can be produced on American farms will be needed to feed the hungry people of Europe.” He expressed the belief as soon as the treaty of peace is concluded arrangements can be made to meet the European situation and that because of the demand the prices of farm products will remain high. He plosed the letter with an appeal to every member and every other farmer in the state support the Victory Loan.

Fred Chapman went to Englewood today, where he will spend a few days With his wife, Who is visiting relatives there.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, APRIL I, 1919.

CITY TO HAVE NEW HOTEL

New Hotel Building To Be Erected Soon TO COST SIOO,OOO Fendig Corner Is To Be New Build> 1 ing Site. Articles of incorporation for the Rensselaer Hotel'Co. were filed with the Secretary of State Monday. The capital stock is SIOO,OOO, divided into shares of SIOO each. The object of the Association as stated in the articles of incarporais to build and conduct a hotel in Rensselaer. rz

Plans for the erection of a hotel to cost in the neighborhood of on the Fendig corner on Front street in Rensselaer are already well under way and it is expected that work will begin within the next ten days to prepare the ground for the building. J. R. Looflirpa, an Indianapolis architect, was in Rensselaer last week with the completed plans and submitted them to the promoters of, the hotel, and they were approved with a few minor changes. Mr. Looflirpa estimated the building will cost about SBO,OOO, and the furniture $20,000. The building will be of steel construction, with Bedford stone finish on Front and Washington streets. It will have a frontage of 100 feet on both Front and Washington streets, with a large court in the eenter. There will be a. basement under the entire building, Which will be used for the furnacq, laundry and for storage pulposes for the hotel and the business rooms on the first floor. The building will be three stories. On the first floor will be the hotel office, dining room three business rooms on Front street and two on Washington street. The hotel office will be located in the southeast corner of the building, with a corner hotel office, dining room, three buslocated on the first floor, extending from Washington street in the rear of the building south fifty feet. The west side of the. dining room will be of glass, the room being really a sun parlor, affording a fine view of the beautiful Milroy Park and the fine residences surrounding the park. Large covered verandas will be located on both the east and west sides of the building on the second and third floors. Between the office and the dining room will be the Western Union office andtwo samplerooms. On Front street facing the K. of P. building will be three medium size business rooms. The building will bp set back a few feet from Front street, in order to make the street wider at that point in order to give room for parking automobiles, as the street is rather narrow at present. There will be sixty rooms for guests and a third of these will be provided with bath and toilet, with hot and cold water. There will be an electric elevator located in the office. On the top floor will be a large room in which to hold banquets and dances. The office furniture will be in keeping with the magnificence of the building proper, as well as the furnishings of the entire building. Two parties, whose names we are not at liberty to make public at present, have each subscribed for $25,000 worth of stock and it is expected to make up the other $50,000 of subscriptions from the merchants whose interests are in that end of town and frqjn the residents livirig across t/ho rivcT. It is hoped inConnection with this improvement to interest the city ‘council in the project o9»buying the Glazebrook property south of the hotel grounds and converting this property into a swimming pool and park and this matter will be brought before the council at an eary day It is expected to begin the work of tearing down the residence portion of the building now on the. ground within ten days and the balance of the building now occupied by the creamery as soon as the present,, tenant can vacate. (It is indeed a pleasure for the Republican to be able to note this spirit of progress on the part of the citizens of Rensselaer on this first day of April, 1919, better known as April Fools Day.)

The little old 10c piece is getting back its old purchasing power. What 10c will buy in canned goods. A large can of Hominy. Pumpkin, a can of Red or String Beans, a can of Apple Sauce or Apple Butter, or a Tumbler of fresh grated Horseradish at EGER’S GROCERY. Frank Ringesisen, ; of Hanging Groye township, was in Rensselaer. He reports, that the farm residence of a Mr. Lowery, who lives near Francesville was burned Monday afternoon and that nothing was saved except the piano.

BROOK RUNNING ON OLD TIME

DECIDES TO PLOD ALONG HOUR BEHIND REST OF THE WORLD. i Brook, that little heaven of sunshine and rest just over the Newton county line, usually up-to-the-minute in twentieth century matters, has slumped dreadfully and for the next eight months will be found running a whoQe Sixty minutes behind the rest of*this busy, restless, world. All this as a result of a petition, signed, which has beencirculating throughout Brook proper and adjacent territory. The peculiar innovation may even reach into the innermost recesses of the remainder of the county. Perhaps the attempt to be at loggerheads with the rest of the country will be thwarted in other parts of the county, perhaps not. Anyway, it’s none of our business and if our neighboring town wants to be behind the times that’s her affair, not our’s. The new Farmers’ Bureau is at work on the proposition and is leaving no stone unturned in the path of the proposed petition. The farmers greatly prefer the old working time after the experience of ilast year, and, since they prefer it, the business men of Brook prefer it that co-operate in business matters with their country brthren. ~ •So, when.you go to Brook, just slip the hands on your wrist watch back 4 whole hour or you may dazzle the staid citizenry of that metropolis witlwyour terrific pace.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

Several schools in UnJon and Milroy townships have dosed for the year. Pleasant Grdve in Barkley, has closed also. Under the new wage law several of the class A teachers will take professional training and pass into class B. The last institutes of the year will be hold next Saturday, April sth. . There will be a large joint institute held in the. high school auditorium at Rensselaer. Several topics of a general interest have been assigned. Miss Beatrice Tilton and Miss Helen White each have musical numbers; Mrs. Sterrett, Miss Dillon, Miss Porter and Miss Pancoast will lead in a round table discussion on the subject, “The Influence of the Personnel of the Teacher on the school ; Miss Tilton, Miss White and Miss Sage will lead in a discussion, “From a teacher’s standpoint in what way can a trutee help to make the school a success”; Mrs. Brown, Miss Wineland, Miss Huff and. Miss Helen Porter will lead in the following discussion ; “Suggestions on how to handle delicate problems of the school”; Mr. Campbell, Miss Waymire, Miss McGlynn, and Mr, Tyler will lead in a discussion op WhAt can 'be done to creat a better school spirit and interest in a community”. The public' is invited to this institute. Miss Eether Sage'will sing a vocal solo for the^ifternoon‘session. The most conspicuous feature about the teachers’ examination last Saturday was the absence of men. There was about one mad to every ten ladies who took the examination. It is very evident that the schools are failing to attract men. This will begin telling in the course of a few years as men are very essential in the school room to give the children masculine characteristics. The primary and under grade work canbe done very satisfactcTily by lady teachers; but upper grimes require* the influence of men teachers to properly develop the children.

Ord Yeoman returned from Waukegan, 111. Monday night where he had been with his brother-in-law, Morton Murray who underwent an operation Monday.
