FUR-BEARING ANIMAL RAISERS TO REGISTER.

Persons who wish to raise furbearing animals in Indiana must register with the state conservation commission, fish and game division, the commission ruled at a recent meeting. A fee of $lO will be charged to cover registration and inspection. The commission took this step to protect such animals from unscrupulous hunters who take them out of season. The fish and game division in three weeks of this month brought about more than 250 convictions for violations of the fish and game laws. The number of convictions brought about in the first six months of the last fiscal year, which period was under the former administration and before the establishment of the commission, was 171, the records show. Fees from fines collected in that period amounted to $985. Fees from fines collected in the last six months under the new organization amounted to $3,310. Confiscated furs taken by the division now number approximately 725. The large number is taken to indicate what the officials regard as an appalling number of animais taken out of season. A lively effort will be made to break .up such violation practices.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, DEC. 5, 1919.

LIEUT-GOV BUSH WILL SPEAK

AT REPUBLICAN MEETING THIS EVENING LAKE COUNTY NOTABLES TO BE HERE. Lieutenant-Governor Edgar D. Bush, of Salem, Ind., candidate for the governorship of Indiana on the republican ticket, will address the voters of Jasper county in the west court room of the court house at 8 o’clock this Friday evening, defining his platform and appealing to the voters for their support during the campaign. The indications are that the room in which he is to make his address will prove entirely quate to care for those who wish to hear him. Lake county is solidly behind the Salem candidate and several of the leading political lights from that county, including Clarence Fate, arrived early this morning to aid in the Bush boom. Reports have it that there will be quite an influx of Hammond voters here also before Mr. Bush takes the platform this evening to make plain his position. All in all it looks as if the 1920 campaign in Jasper county is to have an auspicious launching and local politicians are beaming with delight over the delicacy tendered this... evening. _________._______ Lieutenant-Governor Bush is a forceful, straight to the point speaker, ready to take issue on any question with an adversary and his campaign platform is a clean, powerful and sensible instrument, and one that has already won the respect of his rivals. Come out and hear Mr. Bush this evening, even though you may be a McCray, Toner or Jackson supporter.

REPRESENTATIVE WOOD SOLVES COAL PROBLEM.

As soon as this leaks out Representative W. L. Wood will find himself on the primrose path to fame and success, all because of a bit of philosophy which he welded together during an idle moment Thursday. Mr. Wood has solved the problem of putting the coal miners back into the mines! Here’s the way he did it: “Got any coal?” he interrogated us. “Nope,” we slipped him. “Why?” he asked. “Because the miners have quit making rt.” “And why have they quit making it?” was his next query. “Because they belong to the union and, unions don’t work, and when they don’t work there can’t be any coal can there?” “Well, what makes the unions?” came next. “The monthly jackpot Mr. Lewis collects, we suppose.” “You have it. Now, how does Mr. Lewis collect that jackpot?” he asked. “How should we know, we ain’t never been a coal miner,” we told him. “Well, then,” he says, “I’ll tell ypu. It’s like this. The miners won’t, have any pay checks coming this month, so Mr. Lewis will be unable to extract the dues from their checks, isn’t that correct?” We admitted that it was. “All right, then,” he continued, “how many of these gold diggers will go down into their pockets and come up with their dues when they aren’t working and have no prospects of work soon?” “Very few,” w*e permitted to slip through our lips. “That’s settled,” said the philosopher. “In union there is no strength where money is lacking—no money, no union—no unions, no strikes—no strikes, no cqal shortage,” was his parting knockout, as he beamed at us triumphantly. And his sound sensible logic seemed so easy and simple that we felt sort of foolish for not having thought it out for ourselves, and slunk deeper in our chair as we wilted beneath his steady gaze—mortified and not at all composed, but ever secure in our belief that such men as he should above all others be returned to the next session of the legislature.

WILL SPEND WINTER AMONG THE FLOWERS.

Mr. and Mrs. George F .Meyers and daughter, Nelle, will leave in a few days for Miami, Florida, where they will spend the winter among the flowers and away from the cold winter blasts. * Mr. Meyers is so active in his real estate business that it is absolutely necessary for him to get away from Jasper county, otherwise there would not be any land left in the county which he had not bought or sold or both. Mr. Meyers is not noisy and makes but little demonstration, but there are few if any more successful real estate men anywhere. His straightforward business methods and his disposition to be absolutely square with his customers have contributed very largely to the success which has been his. During Mr. Meyers’ absence his business will be in charge of his son, Floyd, who has much, of the ability and congeniality of the father.

MONON STATION REDECORATED

DECORATORS BEAUTIFY ELEGANT RAILROAD EDIFICE. T. J. Kurrie, of Paoli, and his artists completed this Friday forenoon the decoration of the interior of the Monon depot at this place. , Rensselaer is very proud of the beautiful and commodious station building and all will very greatly appreciate the improvement made by the redecoration. All of the hard Wood trim has been revarnished and the walls and ceilings have been recolored in a most artistic manner. The ceiling is of a silver color, the upper side wall a shade of gray and the lower part of the wall is an appropriate shade of green. Between the wall colors there is a dainty border which adds very much to the beauty of the interior of the rooms. Under the skillful direction of Mr. Kurrie, who is a brother of President H. R. Kurrie, the decoration was completed in a manner which would be a credit to any building. Mr. Kurrie and his men will have as their next work the redecoration of the Monon station at Frankfort. With our beautiful depot, courteousagent and assistants,pt Will be more of a joy than ever to “watch the cars come in.”

WINNING BACK HEALTH IN SOUTHERN CLIMATE.

Vern Davisson has written his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Davisson, from McAllen, Tex., to which place he went a short time ago in the hope of regaining his health which was greatly impaired during his overseas service. “Dear Father and Mother: „ “Am feeling fine; it’s impossible to feel otherwise down here._ Would not mind camping here for”* a few centuries or at least a thousand years. Got a few Mexicans working on the orchard and getting along fine. “When the crowd went over to the club house, I took my suitcase over there so they would not take it back on the excursion, but the porters took all of the baggage back to the train, so my suitcase is gone, perhaps lost by now. I telegraphed the station agent at San Antonio to catch the excursion and have it sent back here, but it has faded to return, so I suppose it’s lost. - Did you get the telegram on the train? It’s a little inconvenient without it. “I see Chauncey Wood every day. They are . feeling fine and said they could not be driven back north except for a brief visit. They like it fine here. Mr. and Mrs. Hays have rented two rooms in a large house and will move in tomorrow, I guess. “Mr. Kroska billed the cotton out a few days ago. It will bring a big price. Holding the hay for more money, as the market is going up. McMahan is getting ground ready for cabbage. No market at all here for snowballs, or sleighs; icicles do not sell, either. Ha, ha! “This is certainly a nice hotel, though not near large enough to accommodate the traveling public. Another hotel as large as this one would certainly make a stake. There are unlimited * opportunities fST every kind of business, although every sort of business is represented already. Seventy-five residences are under construction at present, and the place is growing so fast one can’t keep up with it Saw a big football game between MkAllen and an aviation team Thursday; also had lots of turkey and cranberries. I must close. Your son, VERN C. DAVISSON.

CASH IN ON THIS.

Don’t wait for a big opportunity to come along—grab a little one and nurse it. And don’t wait, to buy that car you want next spring'. Everything points to a ear shortage and higher prices. There never was a better time to “get in” than right now. ■ Last fall the “optimist” waited for cars to come down. Last summer he waited for coal, to do the same thing. He’s still “getting along” with the old “bus,” and begging for coat The “pepthnist” went out and bought the car he wanted and all the coal he could get. Both are worth more than he paid- Don’t be an optimist—be a peptimist. Get what you want—when you can get it. - Haven’t heard what planet we are- to lock horns with December 17, but hope prohibition hasn’t ruined it. THOMPSON & KIRK-
