CAPT. TUTEUR IN KEY WEST

RENSSELAER OFFICER FINDS “KEYS” EXTREME Y EDUCATIONAL AND INTERESTING Captain C. Arthur Tuteur, known to everyone in Rensselaer and to the majority of the citizens of the great commonwealth of Indiana, writes very interestingly to a friend in this city of his experiences in the Florida Keys Where he is now located as a member of the Intelligence branch of the army. Art is an entertainer in every way and we are sure that you will enjoy his letter. Key West, Fla., March 29, 1919. My dear friend— It has been some little time since J have written you, but the fact of the matter is that I have been feeling miserable and have positively done nothing but what required my immediate attention. I have been suffering from one of the worst colds that I was ever blessed with, and I can vouch for the fact that when you get one of those things in this climate that one has the devil’s own time in getting rid of it. I shouldn t have minded it so much only there was" a cough connected with it, and it seemed to tear me to pieces; but am glad to say that it hasdisappeared now, and I hope that I will be so fortunate as to steer a clear course hway from them in the future. I have been down to Tortugas, which is about sixty miles from here in a southwesterly course and is the very last point of land in the United States possessions proper. It is an island covered with a monster fort, which in itself is obsolete, simply a relic of bye-gone days. The fort cost in the neighborhood of $40,000,000 and is a massive piece of masonry completely surrounded with a moat 45 feet wide, in which ocean water flows. It> was used as a prison during the Civil war and here were interred the prisoners of the north. Man-eating sharks were kept in the moat to prevent the escape of the prisoners. I cannot see why such a place is; I understand it was a great steal, and if you but saw it ypu

could not help but agree with that explanation. It was my good fortune the other day to go down on Sub-chaser 334, which is my boat of communication and on which I have a bunk. After our business matters were attended to we tried our hand at fishing, as it has the reputation of being the finest fishing ground in Florida waters, and it surely bore out its reputation. We were fortunate enough to make a great catch, trolling for barracuda and amberjack. They are surely game fish, and in some instances reach great size. I have had the pleasure of catching almost every kind of fish in these waters, but I have never been so fortunate as to hook on to a tarpon. We are going out in a government tug tomorrow, and I may be so lucky. The past week has not been conducive for such trips as the sea has been too rough, and we have been having right cool weather.

If you can imagine a perpetual May and June in Rensselaer, you have the weather in Key West during my ten weeks here. There is a continual breeze from the ocean, and you would be surprised at the scarify of flies and mosquitos. Our greatest problems are the lack of fresh fruit and vegetables, and we depend on the raifall for our drinking Water. But there is plenty of water in our bath tub, which is the beach at old Fort Taylor, and I think that I never saw finer water to swim in. These waters are so clear that we can see the bottom no matter how deep, and to go out and look at the ocean through a glass bottom and see the whole works in sixty feet of water was quite a revelation to me. Teeming with animal and vegetable life it presents a kaledoscopic scerie not to be equalled anywhere in the world. Of course, Key West being an aq[uatic/city, is chiefly a naval city and the Navy holds full sway, but they have M lot of fine fellows, too, and all the real guys didn’t get into the army. Here is the headquarters of the 7th Naval District, the Air Station and the Submarine Base. Admiral Fletcher has just relinquished command to take the station at Honolulu. He has been supplanted by Admiral Decker. Here is Fort Taylor and the barracks, all the army here, is coast artillery. The army and navy Intelligence are now working hand in hand an Mr. Rignor, the head of the Naval Intelligence, and myself have combined forces and have our offices together, and I take

THOMPSON WINS IN CHICAGO

REPUBLICAN ENTRY BUMPS SWEITZER, HOYNE ET AL—LIQUOR WINS 4-1. William Hale Thompson, Republican nominee for Mayor of Chicago, was re-elected Tuesday by a majority which, when the final returns have been turned in, will probably be in the neighborhood of 10,000. Incomplete returns gave Thompson 257,888 and Sweitzer, his nearest competitor 240,283’. Hoyne, independent, democrat, was in third place with a total vote of less than half that of Thompson or Sweitzer. Fitzpatrick, socialist had 51,000 followers while all other entries collected but 30,000. It was not until 100 precincts had made their returns that Thompson was able to overcome the lead of his rival. From that point on the Republican nominee was able to increase his lead slightly with each return. It was a heart-breaking finish for the Sweitzer adherents and the vote was so close that there seems no doubt but that they will demand a re-count. The. returns indicate that Sweitzer got his worst bumping in the Democratic wards, and that the same Republican wards that swung heavily to Hoyne also gave Sweitzer an unprecedented vote for a Democrat. The total vote cast was about 7Q0,000 and the day was ideal. The city voted wet a sweeping majority the first time the question had been voted on in Chicago. The liquor interests made a campaign based on the slogan: “let Congress hear your protest.” The vote was three to one or better favoring saloons. The dry Chicago federation made no concerted campaign, relying on nationpl legislation. The wet and dry question went on the ballot by order of the supreme court, that the dry petition had been set off the ballot illegally at the preceding city election.

my meals with the navy mess, also departing from the usual custom, so you see our relations are most pleasant, and we are trying to combat the idea that the two are at swords points. I came here in'January after seeing practically no winter at all and finding the roses in bloom and the cocoanut palm in all its splendor. It is hard to realize that it is Spring in Indiana. I have been so fortunate as to get up to Miami once since coming here, and I sbrely did enjoy my visit there. I find the people here to be the most hospitable that I have ever run across, and they try so hard to make each succeeding day more pleasant than its predecessor. ■1 ran across a member of the Valparaiso company who was with us on the Mexican border, connected with the Air Station, and he asked about all the company M boys. He is almost a full-fledged aviator now, and will complete the training at Pensacola next pjonth. Well, Lefty, this is the last of the week, the last of the month and the last of the quarter, and I have a lot reports tb get in shape. I have told you all there is to tell except that here in Key West we have the finest cigars to be found anywhere, and tobacco has a new meaning since we Suit smoking the pure quill, meaning le pure Havana tobacco. Be kind enough to present my kindest regards to all the boys, and as soon as peace is actually signed I hope to be permitted to return to my native heath, dear old Indiana. God must have been in his most pleasant mood when he created the dear old Hoosier state. Write to me soon and tell me about Almost everything. , , Your friend, ART.

BELL ELECTED SECRETARY

JASPER COUNTY MAN HONERED BY POLLED HEREFORD ASSOCIATION. Not coming but here. The Polled Hereford cattle came into their own when on Friday evening, March 27, at 7:30 p. m. the Polled Hereford breeders of Indiana met in the Hartford City hotel, at Hartford City for the purpose of forming a state organization of Polled Hereford Breeders. This meeting’ was well attended from all. parts of the state. -The house was called to order by Col. Fred Reppert and several intewsting talks were made by prominent men. The opening talks were made by the business men of Hartford City welcoming the Hereford breeders to their city. Followed by a talk from Overton O’Harris, of Harris, Mo., one of the leading breeders of horned Herefords in America, in his talk Mr. O’Harris congratulated the Polled breeders for the greatest progress ever made in one breed of cattle. In the last five years. Mr. O’Harris stated that the horns had caused him more trouble than any thing he had to contend with in his business, and they were trying to get a rule through the American Hereford society compelling every man to dehorn his cows and that whenever they got it through that the Hereford breeders of America would all be buying Polled Bulls.

Following these talks the regular business of the meeting were taken up in order, and a committee was selected to meet at 9 o’clock the following piorning and select the officers for nomination for the association, and to report at a later meeting to be held at Muncie, on Friday evening, at 7:30 p. m., at which time the officers would be elected for the following year. The sale of the Renner Stock Farm opened at 12:30 Friday, March 28, in which 73 head were put through the ring at an average of $931 per head with Bullion 4th selling at $9,500 to W. A. Wilky, of Sullivan, Ind. The top cow of this sale brought S2OOO. This sale makes new history for the Polled Hereford establishing a new record for prices. The meeting at Muncie was well attended and the association formed with a membership of 44 members, the largest association of Polled Hereford Breeders in existence today, the following officers were elected: President, H. M. Mullendor, of Franklin; Vice-president, O. S. Bell, Parr; Secretary, Fred A. Stimson, Huntingberg; ex-committee, W. O. Wilky, of Sullivan. At the Green sale the following day with a nice line of cattle and a snappy auction, the average on 52 head was $735 with the top cow selling at $3550 and top bull at S3OOO. Mr. Green had one of the most useful herds I ever saw. * ■When these two sales opened with such horned breeders as Warren T. McCray sitting on one side of the ring, Overton O’Harris on the other and Wm. GalloWay, the man who manufactures everything from a cream separator to a manure spreader, at the front placing their dollars against each other fighting for the best cattle in the ring, you can imagine the broad smile that comes on the face of the Polled Hereford cattle have at last been put over the top and have won a place in history. We can remember a few years ago what a hard fight we had when everybody said that when you breed the horns off you also breed off the quality, now the same men say they are the same cattle less the horns and are buying these same cattle without the horns, we feel that we have won a great success. This new association is now laying plans for a state sale each year and a show, also anything that will promote the interests of the favorite breed.

VICTORY LOAN MEETING

Mayor Charles G. Spitler, who has been appointed chairman of the Victory Loan campaign in Jasper county, met a number of workers at the Trust and Saings Bank Tuesday night. This was the initial meeting for the next loan drive and Chairman Spitler is very anxious to equal the spendid record made by Jasper county under the leadership of J. H. Chapman in the previous drives. Insofar as possible the organiza- | tions in the townships which have | done such excellent work will be retained. TWhile the next loan will be a i short time loan and the interest rate may be slightly higher, the bonds will not sell readily on a purely investment basis. The matter of patriotism is as vitally a part of this loan as of any other that has been made I to finance the war. . That the people will get back of . Mayor Spitler and his organization ? there can ben no doubt that Jasper count will again be a banner is assured by the patriotic fervor of our citizenry.
