NO ALMUNI TICKET, NO DANCE, SAYS ASSOCIATION

■ For the past two or three years ■there has been a growing practice ■among the younger men of the town ■of purchasing tickets for the annual alumni dance which follows the banquet without first having purchased a tickets for the banquet, which practice must stop so says the officers of the alumni association. “It is an injustice to those who annually pay their dues and purchase banquet tickets and thereby aid }n keeping the association alive by their financial report,” was the way an officer of the ’association put it. “The older members have purchased banquet tickets freely to date, While the younger members have held back with the intention of attending the dance, but not the banquet. The older members are doing their part and should not be imposed upon at the dance by those who have failed to support the organization as it should be supported. Rather blunt way of putting it, but it’s the truth, and for this reason the association has decided that only those who have bought banquet tickets will be permitted to attend the dance.”

TAX MEN COMING TO JASPER COUNTY SOON

Secial representatives of the state board of tax commissioners will be assigned to every county in the state for the purpose of making an investigation of the work of the assessors and compiling an accurate report and detailed information regarding the working of the true cash value system of the new tax law, it has been announced by Fred Sims, chairman of the tax commission. The reports of the representatives will inform the state board of exactly what has been done in each county and the information thus gained will be used as a basis for making recommendations to county boards of review during their sessions *in June. Under the new tax law the board of review may not only equalize assessments as between counties, but may equalize assessments between townships or may order a re-assess-ment of any individual piece of property of any class of property in a township. S. N. Craguh, member of the tax board, who has been making a special study of the working of the new assessment plan, states that he is confident that the Indiana tax duplicate this year would show more than $5,000,000,000 instead of $2,225,000,000, the total assessment of 1918.

SALVATION ARMY. HOME SERVICE FUND

Hon. Charles G. Spitler, Rensselaer, has been appointed chairman of Jasper county for the Salvation Army Home Service campaign, May 1926, and is actively at work organizing his forces for the drive. J. M. Sauser has been chosen secretary and J. N. Leatherman, treasurer. The publicity Will be in charge of George A. Williams, who will also conduct the Speakers’ Bureau, and look" after transportation. Jasper county has been organized as one unit and the work of canvassing for contributions will be in charge of teams. Chairman Spitler reports unusual interest in the campaign and all county workers predict a prompt response to the appeal for funds. The soldiers who saw service abroad are solidly behind the Salvation Army workers and dozens of them in Jasper county have volunteered their aid in putting the campaign over. No war workers overseas were closer to the men in service than the Salvation Army Lassies, and the boys who have returned are showing their eagerness to express their gratitude in a substantial way. $13,000,000 is needed for the Salvation Army’s work this year and Indiana’s part is $450,000.

A mendicant, who has made Rensselaer a regular stopping point on his route for several years, came to the city Friday with the intention of extracting some shekels from the sympathetic public had no sooner taken an advantageous point on Washington street than he was ordered to leave town by Mayor Spitler. Once a city permits these medicants to operate unmolested it soon finds itself overrun with them as they have a wireless, telegraphy all their own which puts the town on the sucker list on their books. Not frequently the beggar is better supplied with worldly goods than the one Who gives him a nickel or a dime. Mayor Spitler is willing that those deserving of aid should be helped, but thinks that those who ‘have homes should, if their case is deserving, be taken care of by the county from whence they came.

NEWTON’S FAINT HOPE

GOODLAND HERALD GIVES FOLLOWING ACCOUNT OF ROAD MEETING. f A goodly number of business men* and farmers met at the First National Bank building Monday night to talk over a route through Newton county with the Indianapolis-Chicago state highway in view. The route mapped out by theHerald last week was agreed upon by those present as a glance at the county map convinced them. A delegration consisting of Wm. T. Cory, John Moran and S. H. Dickinson was selected to get in touch tsrith the good roads committee in Bendon and Lake counties to ascertain their views on the line the Goodland delegation selected through Newton county. This route as stated last week would pass along the east corporation limits of Fowler and along the west side of Goodland —this road making a run of over sixty miles with only two turns from the south part of Benton county to Water Valley bridge over the Kankakee river, <the north edge of Newton county, vto connect with the road into Crown Point. As all routes for new roads are to be selected by April Ist, 1920 everybody interested in roads must get busy. The east and west Corn Belt route .is practically assurred and that much Ve have to be thankful for.

THIS WILL STOP THEM FOR THE MOMENT

Paris, May 16.—A feature of the German note on the release of war prisoners was a request that the allies equip the German captives with new shoes and clothing. In French semi-official circles the comment was made today that the new clothes which the Germans wore last year when they boasted they would capture Paris “have evidently been worn out in over-pressing.”

Mrs. Frank Miller and Hazel Grant spent the day with Monon A correcpondent’s statement that “Wilhelm is eating out his heart” suggests that he must be biting on granite.—Philadelpha Inquirer Mrs. William Coons, of Frankfort, Mrs. Alta Light and Mrs. Grace Denton, of Brook, were guests today of Mrs. Alva Genard. Private Edward Peregrine, who returned from overseas as a member of the Rainbow division, went to Lafayette today for a visit with Robert Drake and family. E. E. Baughman, of Hanging Grove, was in Rensselaer today. He reports that the oats are doing fine and the wheat is in good, condition, but that the wet weather is delaying corn planting. Any old time you happen to have a half hour to spare do not use it bothering somebody, who hasn’t. A man won’t believe it. But his political opinions are less important than the way he does his work. About a year after embarking on the sea of matrimony both he and she begin to kind of wish that they had missed the boat.
