THE HOOSIER KITCHEN CABINET THE HOOSIER KITCHEN CABINET The Hoosier Is First Choice the Country Over In choosing the Hoosier as permanent equipment in our Domestic Science Department, our School Board is simply following the decision of hundreds of other schools, colleges and universities all over the country. The Hoosier is now used in all the leading universities. It has become the standard equipment for Domestic Science Departments because it’ is planned throughout from top to bottom by Domestic Science experts. For years these experts in the science of cooking and housekeeping have been working on the perfection of design and arrangement of the Hoosier. They have gotten it to a point where it will salve the maximum number of steps for the woman who uses it——and this perfection has enabled us to give this broad guarantee to dvery owner—- -“ Your money back if you are not delighted.” These six vitally important features cannot be duplicated—many of them are patented: I—All-metal1 —All-metal flour bin with glass front. 2—Gear-driven shaker flour sifter. 3—Revolving spice rack. 4—lngenious, big capacity sugar bin. s—Big, broad cupboard space with plenty of/ room to work—not hampered with partitions. fl—Doors with hatndy trays that hold small utensils or the new roll doors without extra cost.

MEDARYVILLE GAME TONIGHT

The Medaryville basketball team is scheduled to come elean to Rensselaer to play their return game tonight. From what we’ve heard, they better step “elean” and play clean. Believe you me, its getting to be a risk to go to some of these small tows and try to play B. B. in a telephone booth or a ceiling too 'low for a bowling alley. It takes all the jazz out of life. I’d rather go to Russia to preach. I don’t mind being rode like a motorcycle or torn to tatters and pushed into the wall. I don’t mind being gagged while somebody blows gjy safe and steals my wrist-watch. I don’t mind taking my first flowers in a wreath—but I don’t call that playing basket ball| Teams from Rensselaer have taken a lot and want to take the limit, but when folks go too far—ask the Kaiser. Here’s hoping the boys have enough backers out tonight to feel safe in weaving a few baskets against this team of treat-’em roughs. It’s a hard Hfe for the athlete but people do say, that riding in a Franklin sedan is just like traveling without leaving home.

WOOD FAVORITE AT REMINGTON

Remington, Ind., Feb. 11.—Remington is a rural community depending almost entirely on the farming interests. It supports two banks and a number of excellent business houses. Leonard Wood seems to be practically the unanimous choice in this locality for the Republican nomination for President. It is said that the little opposition here does-not come from a misbelief in Wdbd, but from a few former citizens of Illinois, who say they f6el that they should vote for Governor Lowden, of that state. Medaryville high school, flogged Rensselaer at that place recently in basket 'ball, will meet the home five at the high school court tonight. The Pulaski lads have been promised a drubbing by' the local players, who have figured that the visitors will be struck with stage fright at the sight of a real basket ball floor.

RENSSELAER NOW HOME OF BOTTLING WORKS

Rensselaer is the possessor of a first class bottling works, equipped to the minutest detail with the most modern machinery and capable of turning out at the present time from seventy-five to one hundred cases of soft drinks daily. The new plant is located in the building just to the west of the Rensselaer garage and is the property of Vernon Nowles, formerly a, successful restauranteur. The building has been remodeled and is the model of cleanliness. The last of the machinery was installed but a few days ago. It was the original intention of the proprietor to stairt operating last fall, but due to the non-arrival of the machinery he was prohibited from so doing. The first of Mr. Nowels’ product was placed on the market a few days ago in this city, but as yet none has been sent out of Rensse4aerr- — Mr? Newels’ present supply of juices and extracts is limited, but he hopes within a day or so to have an abundant supply on hand and 'be able to operate at full capacity. Once he has mastered the intricacies of his new work, it is the

hope of the proprietor to be able to turn out from 175 to 200 cases of pop daily. All purchasers will receive their goods by truck. The new plant bids fair to develope -into a thriving little institution and the majority of the nearby towns will receive their supply of soft drinks from this city. As yet Mr. Nowels has made no attempt to establish any permanent customers in this territory but will do so as soon as he can secure a competent workman to take charge of the plant while -he is on the road. Monon is the only town in -this vicinity that will offer any competition to the local industry.

ST. JOE WHIPS WHITING IN CLOSE COMBAT

The St. Joseph college varsity basket ball five defeated the St. Cyril’s club of Whiting at that place Wednesday night in an interesting clash by a score otf 21 to 15. Although the score was close, the collegians assumed the lead at the start and were never headed, and clearly showed their superiority to the home five in every department of the game. At the close of the first period the Red and Purple led 10 to 2, due to the stellar work of Wellman at back guard and the offensive work of Brady and O’Brien.

St. Joseph showed a team play that 'baffled their opponents and bid fair to win the remainder of the games on their chart this season. Coach Feeney has his men playing fast, snappy basket ball, and the coming games wall be rough voyages for the opposing teams. St. Viator’s of Kankakee, IM., will be here for a game Saturday evening, and next Wednesday evening the St. Cyrils’ will play a return game here. • Lineup and Summary: St. Joe—Schafer and Rose, forwards; Wellman, center; Brady and O’Brien, guards. St. Cyril—O’Pat and Senchak, forwards; Peterson, center; Walsco and Senachik, guards. Substitutions—Cox for Rose.

WASHINGTON NEWS

Thursday, Feb. 12, 1820,, Congress will soon consider legislation for the further regulation of immigration, with the Federation of Labor contending for and employes opposing the proposed provision for the suspension of immigration for two years. President Wilson will resume his grip on government affairs tomorrow and will meet a committee from the railroad employes’ representatives to tell them what he proposes to do with regard to their wage demands, which, Director General Hines has turned down. The president is expected to indorse the position of the director general, but to promise the railroad workers his staunch support in their dealing with the railroad companies. and their demands for congressional legislation to help bring down the coat of living. Little headway was made today in the effort to settle differences over Article 10—-the chief obstacle to ratification of the peace treaty—by means of the substitute reservation put forward yesterday. Officials of the shipping board emphatically deny charges that there is any “secret deal” whereby the German ships on sale are to be disposed of to the International Mercantile Marine with British connections. John Barton Payne will be president Wilson’s new secretary of the interior, succeeding Franklin K. Lane. His appointment will be sent to the senate tomorrow.

THE RETORT COURTEOUS.

The following was a favorite story of Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, whose birthday we celebrated Thursday. - ' Lincoln was presented ( iby the toastmaster of a banquet of Illinois editors in 1856, he began । with an apology for his presence, speaking of himself as an interloper, | and then he said he was reminded of an incident. He did not say that he was giving a personal experience, but the editors surmised as much and were greatly amused. Mr. Lincoln said that the man he . was speaking of possessed features which the ladies could not call handsome. The man, while riding through the woods, met a lady on horseback. He turned out of the path and waited for her to pass. She stopped and looked tit the man a few moments. Then she sadd: “Well, for lands sake, you are the homliest man I ever saw.” “Yes, madam,” the man replied, “but I can’t help it.” “No, I suppose not,” the lady said, ‘%ut you might stay at home.”

dames Moore went to Logansport this forenoon. *C. W. Reeve is moving from North Vernon to the J. N. Leatherman farm in Barkley township. Homer EUis of. Monon was here today to consult a Rensselaer oculist. J. .E. McClanahan cd Hammond came Thursday to attend the funeral of his father. Mrs. McClanahan will join him here tonight Mrs. Sadie L.

Saturday is St Valentine's day—but we won’t write, any poetry—it isn’t right to ask a linotype openktor to absorb such punishment merely to satisfy a whim.
