MICHIGAN CITY’S MAYOR ASSAILED BY 500 TROOPS.

Michigan City, Ind., May 28.—Five hundred returned soldiers, sailors and marines, unanimously passed resolutions today refusing certificates offered them by Mayor Fred C. •Miller, of Michigan City, and requesting that he resign as general chairman of the Fourth of July committee. The soldiers assert that the mayor did not show the proper spirit • toward them at the time of their departure for the war front, that he embarrassed them while they were in the service, that he failed to show sufficient interest in them while they were away and that the city government displayed no sign of welcome when they returned. Mayor Miller was given naturalization papers, ten days ago. During the war he was arrested as an alien enemy outside his zone without a permit.

MILROY.

Ludd Clark was a Lee goer Thurs- ’ day. , , Arthur Boone, of Monticello, made, a business call on Trustee Wood Friday- ...... Tillie Clark and Mrs. William Chapman autoed to Monon'Friday. Did the “newlyweds” get a belling? Well, I guess! Albert Wood and Elmer Johnson went to Monon Saturday. The home of William Chapman was the scene of a pleasant surprise Saturday evening on their son, Walter, the occasion being his seventeenth birthday anniversary. About fifty guests were present and all departed at a late hour wishing him many more happy birthday anniversaries. Russell and Clyde Wood, of north of Rensselaer, visited with friends and relatives here over the weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Culp went to Monon Saturday.

LOOK AT THIS.

, There walked into this office Wednesday a young fellow wearing the uniform of Uncle Sam. He had just received his dischargee papers and was on his way home to the “one and only girt.” Imagine the shock we received when we asked him if he was glad to be out of the service, and received this for a reply: “No, sir, I’m not. Wish I might have remained in the service. There were a lot of fellows who wanted out and couldn’t get out, but I didn’t want out and had to leave anyway.” Hully gee! How do they get that way?

FORD TAKES A BATH; SOME HUMANS DON’T.

Harry Watson’s got one of those ' cars made in. Detroit, Mich., and [.which run without gasoline or wheels. \ Mr. Watson cranked it up this morni ing and before he could quit his cranking and get inside of it, the car started right ahead and plunged head foremost into the Iroquois river, which runs behind his house and } chicken park. The embankment was steep and in making the plunge the Henry Ford pet did a loop the loop, landing on its back. A rope, bathing suit and some of Harry’s best muscles were called into play before the thing could be induced to return to its native haunts for the day’s work.

May is offering an unusually lot of fine weather now and the farmers are elated with crop prospects. The Rensselaer business houses will be closed Friday afternoon, Memorial day, from 2 to 4 o’clock. R. E. Roadifer, of near Remington, arrived in Rensselaer Wednesday from Camp Custer, Mich., where he had just received his discharge from the service. Mrl Roadifer was in the service a year and five days.

HOW LANGUAGE IS ENRICHED

New Words and Phrases Most Frequently Hsve Their Origin In the Patter of Thieve*. It is necessary that the language of a nation should be refreshed and strengthened now and then by the introduction of new words and phrases, and, as befits democracy, these spring from the soil; not one of them de--scends upon us from the Olympian heights, observes the New York Herald. Neither scientific nor scholastic bodies ever enrich the. common tongue with expressions so apt and full of meaning that they gain immediate and enduring vogue. The slang of the undergraduate collegian is pitifully inept and meager. For anything that can give a new zest to the vulgate we must look to the stage, the gambling house and even to the opium den and thieves’ resort. Returning soldiers will certainly bring with them much of the argot of field and trench of which “cooties” is a sample. The word “joint”-as applied to Iniquitous and other resorts comes from the joint of bamboo from which an opium pipe is made. “Dope ’ was originally the slang term for opium—hence "dope” and “dopy.” Innumerable are the verbal products of the gambling house. Among the commonest of them are "four flushing,” “keeping tab,” "standing pat” and “down to cases.” To “give the office” or “office” some one is a very old bit of London thieves’ slang. The cause of all this is quite apparent to the thinking mind. Persons of education and cultivation have a vocabulary of their own sufficiently large and varied to enable them to expN>ss themselves without going 4 beyond its limits. Those who are lacking in education sometimes coin words in an emergency that prove so expressive that they acquire general currency.

SUBSEA VESSELS AN OLD IDEA

Inventors Had Thoughts of Such Craft Centuries Ago, as Ancient Records Give Proof. Not in 1660, when Lord Verulam first made a vague allusion to the subject, but in 1648, it seems, was first mention made of the submarine; and then at some considerable length in a memoir published at "The Brazen Serpent, in Paul’s Churchyard.” And with this discovery conies another, that the submarine, or “Ark for Submarine Navigation,” as the author, John Wilkins, terms it, had been tried and found a practical possibility in the days of the civil wars. “Cornelous Dreble” had experimented with “the contrivance,” “here in England, and “found it feasible.” There is something captivatingly Elizabethan about this John Wilkins, "Chaplain to the Prince Elector Palatine,” and his farsighted consideration of the submarine as a war auxiliary. Londoners became acquainted with him one March evening recently, as they opened their Pall Mall Gazettes and dipped into the contents. “Comelmis Dreble and his contrivance” arouse a tantalizing curiosity.

Live Stock for Belgium.

No one In Belgium rejoiced more heartily when the Germans were driven out than the small farmers whose lot under the invaders had been made intolerable by the constant requisitioning of produce and stock by the enemy. A British farmer, who has Just returned from the wide agricultural district around Menin. reports that the country is now practically devoid of live stock and that tillage and farm operations generally are at a standstill in consequence. Efforts are being made by the agricultural relief of allies committee to replace the animals in that neighborhood lulled or stolen by the Germans with good British stock and a first consignment of dairy cattle will be forwarded in the. course of a few weeks. These animals will, it is hoped, play a valuable part in restocking the faims of the peasants which lay across the path of the Germans in their march toward Calais.

The Fishing Worm.

WlWam Brake is a little fellow living in Eastern avenue.« Birds, fishing worms, crickets and spiders are strange creations to him this year and he has not been fully able to determine just what kind of noises they make when happy and when angry. A few days ago William was watching a neighbor woman prepare ground for flowers. An unusually large fishing worm came to the surface. “What Is that?” William asked excitedly. “That is a fishing worm.” " ‘•Well. I thought I heard her going Tweet, ’ ‘tweet’ a while ago when you commenced digging,” hejiaid,and ®u to tell his mamma of the strange antmal. —Indianapolis News.

Taxes Drive Out Estates.

There are, or were before the war, nearly 1,000 great country estates scattered over Greet Britain, many of wMch have now bee®, closed because of the huge taxation. Of these sixty may be classed as private palaces, for each required a staff of from 200 to 600 servants and attendants. Outside of the household servants there were many men employed as caretakers for -the grounds, gardens, parks, coverts, outbuildings and stables. Rocky Mountain News.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY COUNTY AGENT LEAMING. ♦ To Explain U. S. Grain Standards. Representatives of the U. S. bureau of markets will hold an exhibition and demonstration for the purpose of explaining the different standard grades of grains at the court house at Lafayette on. June 16th at 1:30 o’clock. Federal grain specialists will demonstrate moisture testing, 'sampling, determination of dockage on various kinds of grain, testing for weight per bushel, determination of foreign matter in grain, obtain percentage of foreign matter in grain, obtain percentage of heat and other damage, discuss classes of grain and explain in detail the application of federal standards which are of interest to every farmer. This meeting will be held in connection with the county agents’ district conference. The grading of grain is a matter not well understood by the majority of our grain producers. This meeting gives elevator operators- and the farmers alike an opportunity to study the subject and this county should be well represented at that time. Bee Keeper*’ Tour. An all day rain last Wednesday did hot dampen the ardor pf the members of the County Bee Keepers’ association, who made a tour of the greater part of ■ the county to get first hand information upon the methods of caring for bees. The tour was in charge of Frank Foltz, of the local association, and E. G. Baldwin, of the U. S. department of agriculture. One of the points brought out on the trip was that most of our bees are still kept in box hives or in standard hives with crooked combs. This is contrary to the law and is a matter which local.bee men are urged to attend to at once. Mt. Baldwin gave demonstrations of the proper methods of transferring bees from these hives into modern hives with straight combs. Many colonies were found to be weak on account of the light honey flow this season. These were doubled up, two and three colonies being united into one. , A great deal of disease was found in the bee yards, especially the European Foul brood, and Mr. Baldwin explained its presence and showed how it could be controlled. Several cases of American Foul brood were found. —...... The association will hold a meeting at the courthouse on June 10th at 1:30. The subject will be, “How to Control Swarming” and “How to Get the Honey.” The organization is growing in strength and influence and invites everyone to attend its meetings. Farmer** Club*. Prof. G. M. Frier, of Purdue university, will speak at the meeting of the Milroy Country club to be held at Milroy church Saturday evening, May 31st, at 8 o’clock. The public is invited to attend. Mr. Frier has a splendid reputation as a public speaker and persons from adjoining townships will find it worth while to attend. The North Union Farmers’ club has arranged for an unusally strong program for the June meeting to be held at Virgie June 7th. R. S. Thomas, of the Purdue soils’ department, will speak. Officers of the County Betterment association have been placed on the program. The Parr Community club will hold a meeting at the Parr school house on the evening of June 10th. The program will include an address by John Brown, president of the Indiana Federation of Farmers. Rooster Week, June 2nd to 6th. , June 2nd to 6th has been set aside as Rooster week by the Indiana Poultry Dealers’ association. During this week members of the association have'agreed to offer extra inducement to poultry raisers to dispose of all their roosters. This is not only a good business proposition for the poultry dealers in decreasing their losses from eggs spoiled while vn their possession, but it benefits the poultry producer fully as much as the loss from spoilage must be absorbed in a measure by the producer and consumer. 'Rooster week has been observed fairly generally in this locality for a number of years and the number of roostdfrs marketed during the week has steadily increased, according to the reports of the poultry dealers. The poultry and egg producers have never had a better opportunity Jto make money than at present. At- ' tention to this small detail of the business will remove a cause of loss and annoyance all along the line from the producer to the consumer. ’

A barrage of northern Indiana and neighboring state automobiles will start blazing a trail across the county Friday on their way to the 500-mile classic at the Indianapolis speedway on Saturday. Rensselaer is on the direct route for the tourists from the north, which is a fortunate thing even though the wear and tear on our roads will be quite heavy. It gives this route much prestige and should <aid in having this route selected for the state highway from Indianapolis •to Chicago.
