“When Bearcat Went Dry” This picture play, adapted from Charles Neville Buck’s famous novel of the Kentucky mountains, has more thrills in it than are usually found in three feature pictures. The running fights between two of the fighting elements that compose the inhanbtants of the mountain district furnish an audience with enough suspense that will satisfy the most exacting audiences. Through the story runs, a love romance that is as sweet as the water that trickles down the sides of the Cumberland mountains where the story of the play is laud.

HOOSIER MINES RAISE PRICE OF CONTRACT COAL.

Indianapolis,; Dec. 12.—Practically fifty per cent of the normal amount of coal produced daily in Indiana was hoisted from the mines today and mining at full speed is expected to begin Monday, a statement by officials of the Indiana Bituminous Operators’ association announced tonight. "T - Mine operators and 'wholesalers in Indiana today generally increased the price of contract coal 14 per cent. This action, it was said, was based on a clause in most of the contracts providing that should the cost of production of coal at the mines increase or decrease during the life of the contract the cost to the buyer should be increased or decreased in an amount to cover the change in cost of production. It was stated that very little coal is purchased by retail dealers on contract and that therefore the price will remain at the figure fixed by the government, as far as domestic consumers are concerned. Plans for the federal grand jury investigation of alleged violation of the anti-trust laws and the Lever fuel control act by operators, miners and dealers, were continued today. The investigation is scheduled to begin next Wednesday. It is believed that charges of contempt of court for violation of the federal injunction against furtherance of the miners’ strike, now pending against eighty-four international and district officials, will be dismissed.

The public schools are in session today that the day’s vacation following Thanksgiving may be made up. School will be adjourned on Dec. 19 for a two weelcs’ holiday vacation, convening again January Sth. The third number of “The Rensselaerien,” the high school publication, will be mailed December 19.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, DEC. 13, 1919.

RENSSELAER DROPPED FOR COUNT IN HOT FRAY.

*The Rensselaer high school basket ball team dropped a fast and scrappy affray to the Brook tossers at Brook Friday evening, the final score being 23 to 18. Both teams played good ball throughout and Rensselaer showed a vast improvement over the form they exhibited at Valparaiso last week. The first period found the home lads in the lead by a count of 16 to 9. The lead obtained by Brook in the first half proved too great a handicap for the locals, who played the better brand of ball in the final period. Brown at forward was the leading light of the locals and caged the ball time and again from difficult angles. Larsh and Tilton did well. The locals’ first home game of the season will be played here next week when the Valparaiso quintette comes here to play a return game. Rensselaer was defeated by the upstate aggregation a week ago by a score of 48 to. 10 and the home team is planning to avengs itself for the one-sided defeat administered it.

RED CROSS NOTES.

Attention to mothers and teachers of rural school children: Many children of Jasper county are below standard in size and nutrition. In some the cause is due to bpd teeth and poor mastication. Food cannot be digested unless it is reduced to a fine subdivision. The cold noonday lunch may be made more palatable if the teacher and eighth grade pupils co-operate in making a hot drink at school such as hot milk or cocoa, but preferably a soup of some kind. . Children should not drink tea or coffee at ■ all. I In visiting the schools, there are two to five children absent, due in .nearly every case ! to some disease ' caused by a bad throat or imperfect t digestion. . ■ . The correction in the error in diet is the duty of the mothers, and the correction of physical defects- Should be referred to the family physician, j The report of Union township, with 239 school children examined , for defects of throat, teeth land nutrition, is as follows: Enlarged glands of the neck, due to infection of some kind, ISO, Goitre, 5." '* < Defective ears,- 14. Children with defective teeth, 88. Tonsils not normal, 151 . Mouth breathers with adenoids apparent, 25. - Malnutrition, 16. More frequent baths, more water drank between meals, food chewed better and dry feet wjll help a lot toward children being able to go to school every day. [ I NETTIE B. JORDAN, .... , Jasper Co.
