GAYETY OPENED SATURDAY EVENING WITH BIG CROWD.

That the Gayety will be the mecca for lovers of music and dancing in the future there can be small doubt, if the crowd of Saturday evening can he taken as any criterion. The opening of the new amusement hall had been heralded far and wide and everyone in attendance was agreeably surprised to find what a wonderfully attractive little place it is. The hall was beautifully decorated and every conceivable convenience was contained in the construction pf it. Beautiful perfect arrangement, splendid music and possessing a hard-wood maple dance floor which met with the approval of all, the hall is bound to be popular with all, not alone as a dancing pavilion but as a place for the serving of banquets and for public meetings of every character. The pavilion is owned by Dr. J. W. Horton and, is something which Rensselaer has needed for a long time,

BLAZED TRAIL TO BELL RANCH

STOCK RAISERS FROM ALL OVER COUNTY AT SHOWING SUNDAY P. M. Under the auspices of the Jasper County Betterment association, an all day picnic and showing of Polled Herefords was held at the home of Oren S. Bell, one mile west of Parr, Sunday. A rare June day, a crowd which was bubbling over with en- ! thusiasm, a magnificent showing of ' stock, the property of Mr. Bell, addresses by Warren T. McCray, B. F. i Fendig and W. L. Wood, and the I keen appreciation of the crowd : made the day one of success in i every respect. It was the first of a series of delightful events which are to be held by the Betterment association during the coming months in the interest of better stock in Jasper county and it is anticipated by the organizers of the association that the future years will find Jasper county stock becoming 'better and better. - From all parts of the county people wended their way to the Bell ranch, attracted by the various numbers on the program and in no way were they disappointed. A big basket dinner was held in the grove

lat the lunch hour which was followed by the showing of Mr. Bell’s ' wonderful herd of Polled Herefords. 'W. T. McCray, supreme among I stockmen of this section of the state, talked on .stock and stock raising and-attributed his success to : careful study and breeding. He praised the herd of Mr. Bell and was firm in his conviction that he has the foundation for a herd which will eventually prove to be one of the best in the world. There was ' much of a beneficial nature contained in Mr. McCray's address for the farmers. Mr. McCray was followed by Representative W. L. Wood, who spoke on “Thrift,” and what it means td the present day and future generations, and especially what it means to the farmer boy and giri. B. F. Fendig spoke oh the»workings of the Betterment association and the amount of good it is doing the farmers of the county and the promises it holds forth for the future. Mr.* Bell is to be congratulated on his herd and is rapidly becoming recognized as one of the premier stock raisers of the county. Perhaps not the oldest herd in the county, yet it holds a promising future surpassed 'by none, the result of a careful study during the past several years. Led by S. P. Hilliard, several automobile loads of people from this city attended the picnic and were greatly pleased with the day’s festivities.

PRESIDENT WILL NOT LIFT THE BAN ON LIQUOR.

- Washington, June 29.—While President Wilson’s announcement last night that he would not lift the ban on war time •prohibition unti I the army was demobilized, provokec |a storm of varying comment in conI gres'sional circles, there were no ’ini dications tonight of any concerted move to obtain immediate consideration by the house of enforcement legislation. Indeed the general view was that there was law enough for the present and that the house would adhere to the plan outlined by leaders to let the whole prohibition question go over until after the holiday recess, which may begin tomorrow night or Tuesday. Members opposed to the drastic provisions of the measure reported out by the judiciary committee, gave notice today that they would endeavor to have these stricken out on the floor. From the other side came intimations that in some respects the bill was not strict enough and it was said an amendment would be offered to eliminate the section which would permit a citizen to store liquor in his own home, and the other clause which would make its “use” unlawful. The president made it clear in his statement issued last night through the white house that with the failure of congress to act on his suggestion for repeal of the war time law, so far as it relates to wines and beer, the effect of his proclamation to be issued upon completion of demobilization would be to permit the sale of whisky until the country becomes “dry” by the constitutional amendment January 16, 1920.

OBITUARY.

Ben Brittin, son of John and Sarah Ann Brittin, was born in Jasper county, Ind., July 10th, 1854, and departed this life June 17th, 1919, at the age of 64 years, 11 months and 7 days. He was united in marriage to Susan Greenfield in 1888 and was separated by death in 1890., April 15th, 1891, he was married to AMce Concher, who is left to weep the loss of a precious companion. He united with the M. E. church early in life. He was a man of (hard work when in health, and of great honesty, and would much rather give than to recieve. He had been a sufferer from tuberculosis for a number of years and at various times went to different states in the hope that the change in climate would be of benefit to him, but it seemed to do very little good. The last seven years of his life had been full of suffering and pain, but he bore it all patiently to the end. Jasper county deeply mourns the loss of a good and loving friend and neighbor. He leaves to mourn their loss a true and loving wife, one brother, Paris Brittin, of Medaryville, and one sister, Mrs. Marion Archer, of Oklahoma, and a host of other relatives and friends. 'Tis hard to break the tender cord, When love has bound the heart. 'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words: —— “We must forever part.” Dearest loved one, we must lay thee In the peaceful grave’s embrace, -■ But thy memory will be cherished Till we see thy loving face.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE ON PEACE.

•London, June 29.—A peace message from President Wilson to the Daily Mail and the Weekly Dispatch is printed this morning in the latter publication. It follows: “Many things crowd into the mind to be said about the peace treaty, but the thought that stands out infront of all others is that by the terms of the treaty, the greatest possible measure of compensation has been provided for peoples whose homes and lives were wrecked by the storm of war, and security has been given them that the storm shall not arise again. Insofar as we came together to insure these things, the work of the conference is finished, but in a larger sense its work begins today. In answer to an appeal, the league of nations (has been constituted and a covenant has been drawn which shows the way to international understanding land peace. “We stand at the cross-roads, however, and the way is only pointed out. Those who saw through the travail of the war the vision of h world made secure for mankind must now consecrate their lives to its realization.” < ’j;
