RENSSELAER BAGS OVERTIME THRILLER FROM MEDARYVILLE

. In a game that had a setting that would cast shame upon any tense situation ever conjured by the fertile brain of a writer of Dick Merriwell tales, the Rensselaer basketball five beat the sturdy Medaryville quintette into submission at the high school gym Friday night only after five minutes of extra play. Time and time again the spectators were brought to their feet by a brilliant shot by some keen eyed marksmen, and the arena ■ was a bedlam of noise from start to finish' Never was swifter, more accurate passing displayed by a local high school five than was that manufactured by the locals last night. Th6y went at their work with a grim detennination, and it was the deadly precision in their team play that ultimately discounted the extreme advantage which the visitors had. in brawn. The first period closed with Rensselaer leading by the slender margin of 11 to 9. A short time before the close of the stanza the visitors were leading by a onepoint margin after having trailed during the early part of the half. In the second chapter the count mounted to 17 to 13 in favor of the

locals. Medaryville by a wonderful spurt caught the flying Red and Black, knotting the count on a sensational shot. Rensselaer soon after manufactured a four point lead, Medaryville again rose to the emergency and knotted the count, sliping jnto a two-point lead a short time’ later by a well-executed play. Rensselaer rallied and tied the count at 23 all. It was Larsh’s basket that a few seconds later sent Rensselaer into the lead; again Medaryville - overcame, the lead—and a moment later the whistle/an--

nouncing the end of the game, sounded with the teams deadlocked. The teams agreed on five minutes of extra play. It was during these five minutes that the local quintette showed their worth under fire. They were cool and collected, deliberate and confident, and it was their bold front that upset the visitors. It was Tilton, injected into the fray well along in the final period that led his mates from the wilderness with an overhand shot that spelled victory. A short time later he repeated his feat and the followers of the home five breathed easier. Medaryville collected a point on a free cast and Crooks ended the scoring for the evening with a field goal, leaving the final score 31 to 26.

Every man on the home five was a satellited* Grow at back guard offered an impenetrable defense. Captain Collins was the pivot about which his aides worked and he rung up many points during the fortyfive minute session. Larsh, Crooks and Tilton made many sensational shots. Brown worked the floor well and stopped the leather on several occasions as it was headed for the inside of the hoop. The Medaryville team is composed of big-sturdy youths with great physical endurance, but not approaching the Rensselaer five when it comes to clever basket ball. X'--:-.. Z., ..... , ... * '

Mr. Holden will have the assistance of Floyd Robinson, who has taken an interest in the floral business with him. Since giving his entire attention to his floral business Mr. Holden has met with splendid success. He has a large business in the city and has many calls for flowers from neighboring towns.

BE FAIR WITH THE PRINTER.

THE “MATTER WITH AMERICA”

( Fargo, S. D. Forum). “What’s the matter with America these days?” Too many diamonds, not enough alarm clocks. . Too many silk shirts, not enough blue flannel ones. Too many pointed-toed shoes, and not enough squared-toed ones. Too many serge suits and not enough overalls. Too much decollete and not enough aprons. Too many satin upholstered limousines and not enough cows. Too many consumers and not enough producers. Too much oil stock and not enough saving accounts. Too much envy of the results of hard work and too little desire to emulate it. Too mamy desiring short cuts to wealth and too few willing to pay the price. Too much of the spirit of “get while the getting is good” and not enough of the old-fashioned Christianity. Too much discontent that vents itself in mere complaining and too little real effort to remedy conditions. Too much class consciousness and ■toolittle common democracy and love of humanity.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

The Jasper County Board of Education voted unanimously to fix the minimum wage for class “A” teachers at $3.50 per day. The State Department asks that the minimum wage be $3.92 per day. Benton county voted to pay its beginners the $3.92. It must be understood that the law fixes the minimum at SZ.B3; Counties are beginning to

bid against each other for the inexperienced. Experienced teachers are seeking other fields and can hardly be gotten at the price trustees are able to pay. Undoubtedly it would take no dreamer to judge rather accurately who is paying the price in this underpaid profession. School trustees are bidding against themselves for mere children to teach the on-coming generation its finest lessons in citizenship. With all due respect for the ability of the beginning teacher yet it seems fair to ask a plain question: Are they qaulified to do the biggest job before the American people today? About twenty-five seniors from the various high schools in Jasper county took the teachers’ examination January 31. It is true that none were able to pass the examination but our grading standards must be

lowered if we are to turn this biggest of all jobs to them. Possibly it would not take a dreamer to judge rather accurately who is paying the price when the requirements are lowered. This problem has been agitating the federal authorities to such an extent that legislation from Washington will soon be framed so that teachers can he placed on the government pay roll for a portion of their salaries so that our boys and girls can be educated by a permanent teaching personnel rather than by those who just experiment on our young until they make good and then go on to a betterpaid work. State Superintendent Hines is using every power under his control to awaken the slumbering public to the school situation in Indiana. Last week was Teachers* Week in Indiana. Jasper county was not officially notified to put on the campaign for public enlightenment as the county superintendent was unable on account of sickness to give the matter attention. But at this hour the fair minded person who reads these notes can form a fair and unbiased opinion upon the facts as herein presented.

The fire company was called to the home of Firman Thompson on N. Weston street about four o’clock Friday afternoon. A spark falling on the roof burned a hole about two feet square before the arrival of the fire company. It was the sixth successive fire to originate in such a manner in the city, and it is the belief of Chief Montgomery that the frequent runs of the company is due to the poor quality of coal now 'being mined, there being so much dust in it which stops up the chimneys. Reports indicate that such conditions exist quite generally over the state.

Jasper Wright went to Roselawn this morning. E. K. Godshell went to Lafayette today to visit his daughter, Mrs. George Peters. B. D. McCoHy and son, Harry, arrived home Friday evening after an absence of about a month spent, in the south. They were at New Orleans, La., Memphis, Tenn., Little Rock, Ark., Springfield, Mo., and other important southern cities.

FAIR price is one that pays the cost plus a decent, respectable living profit. An unfair price is any price that can come under the heading of “EXTRAORDINARY.” Our profits, both private and public, are just ORDINARY but we have an EXTRA large clientele. .

WASHINGTON NEWS

Robert Lansing secretary of state has resigned. This action follows a rebuke given to him by President Wilson for “usurping power” in calling cabinet meetings, but in reality the sequel to many differences between the two foreign affair matters. Early agreement on .the league of nations covenant based on the Lodge reservations is believed to be presaged by the weakening today of the senate Democrats in the support of Democratic senators, including Senator Hitchcock, signed a “round robin” proclaiming their accepb ance not only of the substance but the form of the compromise reservation .to article X., which, Mr. Wilson has pronounced “unfortunate in- form.” .--gu-- . ; There is to be no surrender on universal training by the leaden in both houses of congress of the fight for adequate national defense. Senator Wadsworth and Representative Kahn announced .today that the universal training sections would be kept in the army reorganization bill until forced out by a record vote in the senate and house.

THE SOCIAL WHIRL.

The Van Rensselaer Club's annual banquet is to be held next Monday evening. This is one of the big events in local entertainment. Every member should make special effort to get somebody to keep the kids and be there. The house committee says reservations for plates have been slower than usual. This may be on ac--1 count of so many members being detained at home near sick beds. If so, we hope their beds get better, 1 /, It may be on account some think this year's toasts will be of too dry humor. True you can't get good talk from a man filled up on tea—but the toastmaster was admitted to the bar years ago. Perhaps he's saved something. It may be account some heard the keeper of a “hollow nut” had been asked to sing in his soft and mellow voice. (So soft and mellow it’s rotten). Whatever the cause of your delay, get Mr. Tuteur on the line and tell him yen'll be there double. The best scenery aint always the best land any more than the best looking girl makes the best housekeeper or the classiest looking car makes the safest investment. However the Franklin aint so hard to look at. THOMPSON A KIRK.
