THEY’RE LITTLE GEMS—THESE ADS OF OURS.

Guy Swim lost fifteen dollars Saturday night. Naturally he was downcast with Christmas fast approaching, and his pocketbook thus lightened. Fifteen dollars is not to be sneezed at in these days of high prices and —well, lots of folks would find fifteen dollars a distinct boost to their Christmas purse, reasoned Guy, and what right had he to hope for the money’s return. Then a happy thought struck him—a classified ad might turn the trick if the finder of his wandering money was honest —it was a long chance but worth the attempt, and he proceeded to put his idea into execution- . , , „ The Republican’s telephone bell tinkled this Tuesday morning, and the -voice at the other end of the line said: “This is Guy Swim. I placed an ad in your paper last night. You might discontinue it. I have the money and all is well again. Thanks.” Wonderful little gems—these ads of ours.

OJIBWAY, NEW STEEL CITY

LOCAL PARTIES INVEST IN THE NEW GARY OF CANADA. Charles Paxton, Harvey Davisson I and Harry Kemper returned Monday afternoon from a trip to Detroit and the steel city of Ojibway, Canada, which is being built across the river from Detroit. The United States Steel corporation is building this city, which is to be another Gary. Seventy-five million dollars will be spent on this plant and work is actively under way on the buildings and the harbor. The plant will have sixteen blast furnaces, two more than at Gary. Expenditures to the amount of $40,000,000 are now being made. The preliminary work is now well advanced and one of the two large blast furnaces that are being finished in connection with the present program is already well on the way towards completion. Steel is being fabricated in the American mills of the corporation for plant units, and the site will be considerably transformed during the next eight months. A suction dredge is now at work removing earth in the channel between the car and coal docks and much of the 2,400 feet has already been traversed. Work on the plant is going on night and day, work not even being stopped on Sunday. , Lots are being sold rapidly and the visitors are so well impressed with the new city that they all bought lots while there, Mr. Davisson buying three, Mr. Paxton two pnd Harry Kemper one. Dr. and Mrs. A. G. Catt visited the new city recently and were so well impressed with what they found there that they purchased five lots in different parts of the city. .... Others in Rensselaer and vicinity have expressed their intention of investing in lots in the new city and others will visit Ojibway in the near future to see the work being done there.

PARENT TEACHERS’ ASS’N. HELD MEETING SATURDAY.

Can the teachers and parents cooperate successfully in solving the problems which confront them in the great task of giving each child the power of self-control which we call education? . This question was the basis of the discussion which the mothers and teachers of the primary building enjoyed Saturday afternoon when the Parent Teachers’ association held its second meeting. Miss Jordan, health supervisor in the district school, talked on “The School Children,’’ the diet that will correct and aid nutrition; the amount of sleep and play a normal child should have. She recommended a health campaign for 100 per cent cleanliness in the schools. Mr. Hamilton’s talk brought out two questions of vital importance in this problem of control •or education. Second, the trouble, we sometimes find in schools where strict discipline is enforced; too often traced to the laxity of discipline m the home. Are we too prone to do things rather than to waste time telling our boys and girls how? Let’s think it over and see if all of the children have some real job to be done at a certain time and if they have not, let’s make our love tor them bigger and hurt ourselves, if necessary, in teaching them habits of industry and self control which they will be thankful for when they can appreciate the motive of love behind our efforts. Wouldn’t you like to join these discussions and bring a question that’s been puzzling you to our question box? The constitution has been drawn up and adopted and the membership is increased with each meeting. If you don’t feel like joining, come and listen. Some of the chil- : dren surprise us with gay dances and merry songs and we have a social and very beneficial time together? The refreshment committee served delicious doughnuts and coffee after the business meeting.

TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES’ ASSOCIATION ELECTS.

Indianapolis, Dec. 15.—‘William J. Williams, of Gary, was elected president of the Indiana State Association of Township Trustee at the annual meeting of the association, which began here today. Alex Rhinelander, of Evansville, was elected secretary-treasurer. V At today’s session the sentiment expressed by many members was that the state board of accounts had assumed too much power in its dealings with trustees. E. J. Hecker, of Indianapolis, declared that while the trustees welcomed a check on their accounts they resented any overstepping of authorities on the part of members of the board.
