The Chalmers high school base ball team is playing the local high school club at Riverside park this afternoon ih the season’s initial clash. Governor James P. Goodrich addressed a large audience at Delphi Trursday night on the Presbyterian New Era movement at a meeting held at the Presbyterian church. After acting up nicely for several days, April has become a little bullish and lhe kud3efi~3&bp "in* temperature indicates that we are receiving part of the blizzard that struck western states. Under the new auto license law trailers must pay a tax equal to half the tax paid on the truck to which they are attached. This does not apply to trailers attached to autos proper. w - A local man, whose occupation causes him to travel over considerable territory states that many towns in this and other states have already changed back to the old time despite the government request as they have found that it retards their business progress considerably. Adjutant General, Harry B. Smith, has written a very complementary letter to Ex-sheriff, Ben D. McColly, in which the former expresses very high praise of the latters service as a member of Jasper county selective board for the excellent service rendered during the war. The tank which is traveling this section of the state in the interest of the Victory Liberty Loan spent three days in Fowler undergoing repairs. The tank only travels 4% miles an hour and a new schedule will have to be arranged, as it is now four days behind schedule. David Hess, a pioneer business man of Brook, died last week after an illness which covered a period of several weeks. Mr. Hess was one of the most respected citizens of that community and came from a family that has played an important - role in the town and country’s history since the earliest days. > A . According to a report received by Gov. Goodrich from John Vajen Wilson, secretary of the state- council of defense, Jasper county has unfinished building . contracts to be taken up this year to the following amounts: Unfinished building, >l,200; New building, >8,200; road, street and sewer work, >17,935.

LAFAYETTE WOMAN SUES MONON FOR $10,000

The United States railroad administration and the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville Railroad Company are made defendants and damages in the sum of SIO,OOO are asked. The complaint alleges that on July 8, 1918 Mrs. Engle purchaseda first class passage from Lafayette to Francesville over the Monon and that at Monon she was thrown from her seat and besides being bruised, strained and hurt about the body, she was severely injured about the abdomen.

BOY SCOUT NOTES

With the idea of increasing the interest in Boy Scout work in Rensselaer, a Troop Committee consisting of the following have been appointed: Rev. J. B. Fleming, Arthur Hopkins, Al Wallace, Harry Parker, Frank Donnelly and C. R. Dean. This committee have perfected the following organization: Chairman. Arthur H. Hopkins. Secretary, C. R. Dean. Treasurer, Frank Donnelly. The new Scoutmaster is J. M. Sauser with E. C. Maxwell as the Assistant. Meetings are held each Monday evening in the high school gymnasium. It is the plan to interest every boy in town in this work. Those applying for membership should present their, application at any of the Monday night meetings. The Troop Committee are planing to enlarge the work as the interest grows. One of events of the summer months will be a camping trip. A committee consisting of Harry Parker, Frank Donnelly and Rev. Fleming has this in charge. While the scout program as outlined in the Scout Manual will be followed, any wholesome recreation, such as may appeal to boys of the scout age will be encouraged, The boys will be supplied with uniforms. Each scout is expected to earn and pay for his uniform. This can be done easily if those in the city will refer work to the boys. s Here is an enterprise which deserves the sanction and approval as well as the encouragement of every one in Rensselaer. The scout work is successful everywhere—why not in Rensselaer. Boost the work by supporting the Scoutmasters and the committee in charge. At the present time the first troop is at full strength. If enough more wish to come in, .a second troop will be organized with Edson Murray as the Scoutmaster. Taking the threat seriously of the state department of education not to renew the commission of the Wolcott high school unless a new building is erected, the advisory board of Princeton township has approppriated >30,000 for a new high school addition in Wolcott. Besides the new addition a new heating plant wiO also be instated. The addition will contain a gymnasium, 48x60 ft., class room, manual training room, domestic science room; there will be four toilet rooms, as well as a whole new system of plumbing. When completed the school wiU be second to none in the county. The addition will be 60 feet by 90 feet.

BUSINESS MAN EXTENDS THANKS TO PUBLIC

In passing from active business life in Rensselaer, it is my desire to express to the general public my appreciation for their generous patronage during the twelve and one-half years of my business association with them, for it is entirely to them that I owe whatever financial and business success I may have attained. It is not without some feeling of regret that I give up my active business life in Rensselaer; my relation with the public has been a pleasant one and I appreciate to the fullest extent the many friendships I have formed. In retiring, I wish to recommend my successors, the Wright brothers, to my many old patrons, and feel that that they will carry on the same splendid business in the future that I have in the past. Sincerely your, VERNON NOWLES.

Andrew Hurley arrived from Camp Taylor, Ky., this morning to spend a few days away from the wear and tear of army life. Andrew is still drawing his thirty-eight seeds a month from the government and expects to do so for several seasons more. He left Rensselaer with the April draft contingent and has been stationed at the Kentucky cantonment every since, the early part of his army career being spent in the hospitals. He is much improved in health now. He is a sergeant in the quartermaster corps.

Insects That Sing.

Among the natural curiosities of Japan are singing Insects. The moat prized of these is a black beetle named “susumushi,” which means “insect bell.” The sound that it emits resembles that of a little silver bell.
