REYNOLDS & DONEGAN TO SHOW IN EUROPE IN SUMMER.

Earle Reynolds, who had been here for a short visit with his mother, Mrs. Hettie Nichols, left today to rejoin his family in Columbus, 0., where they will show during the coming week. While here Mr. Reynolds cabled an acceptance to a contract tendered him by an English producer calling for a twelve weeks’ engagement in France and England commencing in June, 1920. The contract calls for twelve performances a week. However, _it is probable that before the termination of their twelve weeks’ engagement they will have received additional bookings which will call them to other European countries and make their stay in Europe an indefinite one. Mr. Reynolds is greatly pleased with the opportunity offered himself and family to visit the war zone and plans to visit many of the battle fields of the late war during his leisure moments. Apparently the Reynolds-Donegan act is greater than ever, as they are in demand all over the country and have a solid booking for many months to come.

ONE PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

Business is an aeroplane. —If you don’tjceep it up, you’ll drop. If you drop you’ll bust. If you bust you can’t advertise. Can’t advertise you’re a dead one, and nobody cares for a dead one but the sexton. He gets paid for it. Everybody gets knocked down, but a live one never takes the count. A dead one thinks a river is just a place to go fishing. A live one makes the same river run a saw mill. Paying office rent and advertising won’t build a business. We tell you of the best automobile values in the world; but our real job is to prove it after you buy. We are sure after your money, but you’ll always be glad we got it. Harvey Dexter and Frank Kresler are new Oakland owners. Albert Tobin and John Duvall have joined our Monroe family. Dr. H. L. Brown, Mr. Cartan, of Kentland, and Mrs. Ruth French, of Brookston, are new Franklin owners. John Warne, of Rensselaer, and Mr. Cullers, of Winamac, are new Republic truck investors. —We have a nice line to show you next week.—HUGH KIRK. Mack Harris was the. lucky man to capture a wolf Monday morning, says the Medaryville Journal. He was at the Elmer Pullins home and got up early to bring up the horses from the pasture. Hearing the dog barking he took the gun with him, thinking that the dog had a bunny treed and he would help the dog in his efforts to get a breakfast. When Mack reached the scene he found the dog held at bey some sort of animal; he hardly knew whether it was a dog, bear Qr what, but on be a wolf somewhat entangled in the wire fence. He fired the fatal shot and Mr. Wolf was no more. Mack brought his trophy to the house, forgetting all about the horses.

FISH TAKEN FROM RIVER LOOKS LIKE YOUNG WHALE.

Pulaski County Democrat— A s fish a good deal bigger than most people would suppose ever .existed in the Tippecanoe river was caught Tuesday by Rowe Degner, who had it in town yesterday. ’ It was either a carp or a buffalo —“authorities” differed—and weighed a trifle over forty pounds. It measured forty-two inches from tip to tail, and twenty-three inches “around the waist.”? It was caught in the deep water above the Pulaski dam, and three men were in the water before the fish had been landed.

LOG CABIN RIGHT IN TOWN.

Winamac Republican— A home that is something of a novelty is now nearing completion in the northwest part of town, in the wooded grove just east of the old canning factory building. It has been put up by George Hartinger, who has personally overseen most of the work. A log cabin 24x30 feet in size has been erected from native timber cut on the tract. It is modernized with an cightrfoot screened porch across the front, electric lights and other conveniences. Mr. and Mrs. Hartinger are to occupy it.

BULL ETIN. \ ' —— Rensselaer, Ind., Oct. 18.—The H. B. Tuteur-Lemuel Griggs grass mowing derby closed today with the latter receiving the olive twig, emblematic of the championship. Mr. Griggs’ victory was clean cut and unadulterated and in winning the crown he has established himself firmly as the peer of all lawn mower manipulators. His victory was without taint and he adhered strictly to the rules laid down by the Western’Lawn Mowers’ association in every way. He fought fairly, squarely; he asked for no favors and gave none. On the other hand, Tuteur, the dandy little dry cleaner, was a frequent violator of the rules and at one time resorted to a scythe in his frantic efforts to overtake the relentless cow food. He fought feverishly, but when the bell clanged on the 1919 season he was four laps behind Griggs and losing ground steadily. In justice to Tuteur, however, it might be said that he was handicapped by other work which took the .greater portion of his time. All Griggs had to do in addition to his mowing was to throw fifteen or twenty tons of coal into the furnace at the jail daily and wind the court house clock. The 1920 season will open April 1 and it is thought that by that time there will be a larger entry list and ths competition for the trophy considerably keener.

ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL.

New York,. Oct. 18.—William Boyce Thompson, president of the Roosevelt Memorial association, today gave out the following statement from Charles E. Hughes, former governor of New York and exassociate justice of the supreme court of the United States, who is an honorary member of the association : “I have a great desire that in all that is done memorializing Colonel Roosevelt, that there should be constantly impressed upon the succeeding generations of America the habit of thought and the ideals of that man as he actually was and walked among us. If there is anything that has rescued Washington from the mists of an impossible legendary character, and brought him to us and enabled us in some way to reconst ru et his life r it-is -M ount Vernon and the picture of the conditions amid which he actually lived. And in a future day, I have no doubt there will be pilgrimages to Sagamore Hill in equal number with those that are made to Mount Vernon, and in that community there may be gathered various articles which will illustrate his activities, and there will be continued the atmosphere of his home, and the places where he lived among his neighbors, and in his hours of retirement after his public services. “But after all, we have this to consider. You can never perpetuate memory by monuments; those whose memory will ever abide, need no monuments. Nothing can be done in the way of tributes to the great; they abide because they are great, they abide because there is something in their influence which humanity needs. . ............ “There is an instinct in-humanity which goes out after the food of the soul, just as there is an instinct in the animal to go out after its natural food, and those who have really served, those who have enlarged our conception of what the human mind is capable of, those Who have really touched the hearts of the masses and made the people feel that here is a great man, kin r 0 a ii—those can never die; and I believe that Theodore Roosevelt is one of those abiding personalities. “The invested capital of American democracy consists in Se! memory of her great leaders and servants, and among those we put in the foremost rank our old, friend, Theodore Roosevelt.”

FIRST ANNUAL SALE MEETS WITH SUCCESS. The first Annual sale of hogs from the members of the Newton County Swine Breeders’ association, held last Wednesday, was a decided success. Although the day was ideal for farm work a good crowd gathered at the sale barn in Kentland and put good estimates on the offerings? Before the auction started, Y. D. Deardurff, of Morocco, president of the association, made a short talk emphasizing how important it is in these days of high priced feeds to make the feeds produce the biggest market values. He also pointed out that co-operation among the farmerbreeders of the county was .desired in order to establish annual sales as an outlet for the surplus of the best animals. In the auction Newton county buyers proved good bidders. Jjead of Poland Chinm* and thirty-one head of Durocs were sold for a general average of $49.52. As most of the offerings were spring pigs in good breeding condition, the results of the sale were considered very satisfactory.—Morocco Courier.

ONE “DATE” A WEEK ENOUGH, IS ULTIMATUM.

Greencastle, Ind., Oct. 16.—Thou shalt have dates on only one night through the school week.” It is the Women’s Self-Governing Associa* tion’s ultimatum. And now; among the coeds of DePauw, there is, verily much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Women students at the Methodist university have had their collective judgment on the matter of dates weighed in the balance and found wanting. The Women’s Self-Gov-erning executive board did the weighing. Jhe one date through the week order resulted. 'Several weeks ago it was rumored that the faculty and administration officials were not a little worried over the marked tendency among the students to “date up” at every opportunity. President Gross warned that too great a percentage of the student body spent the evenings listening to “cricket concerts. Dean Alvord urged the upper class women to set the freshmen women a good example by “dating” only, on weekSaturday night the Women’s SelfGoverning association’s executive board was called into session. The members were told that lack action on their part would result in faculty dictum; Theboardacted. Now any coed who has a date on any night other than on Tuesdaywill be summoned before the board and punished. If the young women of the school do not obey the new “date rule” it is said, that more stringent measures f will be adopted.
