Mr. White is a good . singer and has a pleasing way of putting over a comedy song. The company consists of eight singers, a piano player and violinist. Mr. Robertson is playing the;m in all his theatres and has seen them -work and will stand back of the claim that they sing the latest songs, have some funny parodies and put over, some good monologue stuff. Don’t forget it’s tomorrow night. If you did not attend the show Saturday ■ night ask someone who did. I

NOTICE. October 20, 1919.

Another high grade clash was put on at St. Joseph’s college Sunday afternoon when an independent team from Morocco met the collegians. Morocco was returned the victor by a score of ,7 to 0, their touchdown coming in the final quarter. It was a haxd fought game throughout and the teams were well matched in weight * and playing ability. The collegians presented a hurriedly prepared front without any previous practice together and their showing was remarkable considering this fact. A good-sized crowd saw the contest. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Barkley returned this morning to their home in Parraftera visit here with their daughter, Mrs. Verne Wilson, and children.

BEST STOCK SHOW OF YEAR

WAS THE STATEMENT MADE BY JOHN W. SCHWAB, JUDGE, OF LOCAL SHOW. One of the largest crowds ever assembled in Rensselaer attended the Third Annual Jasper County Livestock Sho*w, which closed Saturday night. With ideal weather conditions, plenty of music and a splendid line of exhibits, the great crowd enjoyed itself thoroughly and many expressions of satisfaction were heard from all sides. The exhibits were drawn from every section of Jasper county and several herds were shown from Newton and Pulaski counties. The exhibition was essentially a hog and cattle show, with the hog exhibits predominating, the two large tents being filled to overflowing with porcine exhibits. The judge, John W. Schwab, was emphatic in declaring that it was the best show of hogs Wd. Jn the state this year, with the exception of the state fair. In the Hampshire classes, many state fair and international winners found strong competition- among the hogs of the younger breeders and the jgdge had many difficult decis-

ions to make. Since the last show the development of the Spotted Poland China breed in this locality has been especially marked and one of the features of the show was the large number of high class representatives of this type of .hogs. That the Duroc Jersey breeders are on the job was evidenced by the high quality of the exhibits of this breed. The Chester White hogs drew forth considerable favorable comment on account of the uniformity and excellence of the individuals. The Big Type Poland Chinas were represented by three herds, the foundation animals in every case being from the Sage herd. The Hereford exhibit far surpassed any previous showing of the breed, both in the quality and in the number of herds represented, practically every breeder having one, or more animals at the show. The exhibit was greatly strengthened by a herd of international standing. The Shorthorns were represented by the usual enthusiasts who maintained the reputation of the breed in a creditable manner. The first exhibit of Angus was made. The following ds a list of awards: Angus. Aged cows, first, Charles Stalbaum; 2 year old heifers, first, Charles Schleman.

SUCKERS FELL IN HARD BOUT; LOCALS TOOK THIRD STRAIGHT

Watseka high school lived up to her past football reputation Saturday at Riverside park when she forced the locals to display all of their football wares to win by the narrow margin of one touchdown, a sgries of line smashes being responsible for the only score of the afternoon. The goal was missed and the final count was six to nothing. . It was the third straight victory in as many starts for the home team, which has scored a total of ninetytwo points in the three games, as against nothing for their opponents. It was a splendid struggle and the spectators pronounced it one of the best exhibitions of the great fall pastime that has been played here in many seasons. There were no long runs of the sensational variety, but there was plenty of brilliant defensive work by both teams and the tackling was hard and sure. Forward passes netted but little ground to either team, and when this style of play failed Coach Hadley instructed his men to batter the Watseka line, and the result was that the Red and Black had just strength enough to force their way across the goal line, Tilton being the back to carry the oval into the winning territory. , „ , The work of Tilton, Wright, Halleck, Phompson and Platt stood out for Rerfeselaer.

BEG YOUR PARDON.
