LOCALS SWAMPED BY BROOKSTON FRIDAY NIGHT

The Rensselaer high school basket ball five returned from Brookston this Saturday morning carrying with them the short end of a 58 to 23 score which the five of that place handed them. It was their worst defeat of the season. The score at the end of the first half favored the\home five 25 to 5, but during the final period Rensselaer earned the fight to their opponents and made a more creditable showing. It is no disgrace to be defeated by a team of Brookston’s caliber which 'has lost but two games during the season, one to Young America and the other to Jefferson, of Lafayette. Brookston has victories to her credit over Jefferson and West Lafayette high school, and will be a powerful opponent for the teams in her district at the meet next week. Coach Sehaupp’s men did not play their usual game last night and lacked the machine-like play that ihas characterized their work in past games. ' Monon will be met here Tuesday night, after which Rensselaer will rest up for the games at Valparaiso in the sectional tournament.

LEGION SEEKS TO NATURALIZE ALL NATIONS

Indianapolis ,Feb. 27. — A nationwide campaign in an eflfort to bring about the naturalization of tne thousands of former service men of foreign birth will begin tomorrow under the auspices of the American Legion. Instructions to state department commanders of the organization for the drive have been issued by Franklin D’Oller, national commander from national headquarters in Indianapolis. • Attention of the service men was called to the law that provides that any one who served honorably in the army, navy or marine corps during the recent war may become naturalized upon presentation of ms petition for naturalization. He need not make the preliminary declaration of intention or give proof of five yeairs residence within tne Unted States or pay the customary fees. Under the provisions of this Faw, many men were naturalized while at the training camps, Commander D’Olier said, and have received their citizenship paeverything else, the American Legion and legion m«nFbers stand for 100 per cent Amencainism,” declared Commander D - Olier in his message to the various posts. “Legion members are men who have fought to defend American ideals. Upon ian life they are most anaaous to see these ideals preserved. To this end, every effort should be made to see all legion members enjoy rights and privileges and sppreciate the duties of American citi zenship.” . 1 ■

TENTH DISTRICT MAY BE DIVIDED

LAKE COUNTY PROPOSES TO CREATE NEW DISTRICT WITH JASPER, NEWTON, PORTER.

There is a likelihood of Jasper county finding itself in a new congressional district after the legislature meets in regular session in 1921. The proposal has been made to incorporate Lake, Porter, Jasper and Newton counties into a new district which would leave Tippecanoe, White, Benton and Warren counties in the Tenth district. It would be necessary to take ih more counties to - make up this district and that probably would mean a complete re-districting _of the state. Discussing the matter in the Indianapolis News W. H. Blodgett says: “It wais the original intention to introduce at the special session of the legislature a congressional apportionment act creating a new con " gressional district composed of Lake, Porter, Jasper and Newton counties. But investigation of the law shows that the apportionment act must come before the next regular, and not the next special session and for that reason the proposed bill will be held off. Lake county i sa large industrial coupty, although there are a few industries while the others are rural counties in Porter county. It is understood that the two republican aspirants one is made, will be J. Glenn Hairfor the new congressional job, if ris, present representative from Lake county and W. A. Hodges, Mayor of Gary. Neither of them has announced his candidacy but the friends of both say they will be contenders for the place when at is made. There will be some opposiLake county to making the district but the advocates of it think they will have no trouble m getting the law enacted.”

ADDRESSES GRAIN DEALERS

H. H. POTTER, MANAGER LOCAL ELEVATORS BEFORE LAFAYETTE CONVENTION ♦ » . ■ The convention of the Farmers’ jGrain Dealers’ association, which completed its work Friday, was of very intense interest and was attended by a record breading crowd. Two of the resolutions passed by the association are of general interest. One has to do with capital and labor. We are opposed to all form of class legislation seeking to insure any class of ✓ labor an excessive wage or any corporation an excessive income at the public expense ; and condemn all moves to shorten hours and lessen production as unwise, ill-advised and unpatriotic. * The other relates 'to the Daylight Saving law. We condemn the shortening of the work day to less than eight hours, and declare the so-called daylight saving law to have been unjust, unfair and detrimental to the agricultural interests of our state and union. The Lafayette Journal-Courier gives the following account of the address made by Mr. Potter: “The cost of Handling Grain and Sidelines, and the Proper Margin,” ■by H. H. Potter/of Rensselaer, and Fred Roberts, of Monon. Mr. Potter characterized the present indifference to cost as caused by unjustifiable competition and lack of business system. He showed an actual cost sheet with figures from the time the grain was received from the farms until it reached its destination. He revealed this to be so far as his own elevator was concerned, $7.83 on wheat, not including freight or war tax; $3.81 on oats, and $5.25 on corn. He said these costs were below the average for the state, due to inexpensive equipment and the amount of business done for volume of overhead. He stated the figures were based on an average of 428,196 bushels for the year. Local operating expenses were $11,424.89; shrinkage, $2,983.60, making an average cost on the bushel of $3.35 overhead and shrinkage, not including destination receipts.

BASKET TEAMS TURN EYES TO STATE TOURNAMENT

With the exception of * Jew scattered contests, Indiana high school basket ball fives completed their season’s schedule Friday night, and now all are expectantly awaiting "the start of the sectional clashes in the sixteen centers on March 5 and 6. A week later tile winners of the sectional tournaments will go to Bloomington to contest for the state title. The Rensselaer quintette is in the Valparaiso district and will leave here next Friday morning. Whiting, Emerson of Gary and Valparaiso are the testns most feared by the other teams of the district. Valparaiso, with Bier impressive record, is the favorite with the railbirds to eop the tournament, and a few sharpers predict , that the Porter county lads will also grab the state pennant a week later. The drawing will be made Wednesday and tiie contestants will then know? what teams they are to face in the opening round. ... There are ever four ‘hundred school teams entered in the tournament this year, the largest in history. Indiana leads ail ether states in the union in this respect and her fives are believed to be the best there are in the United States. The belief was further strengthened by the feat of the Crawfordsville high school team, Outlawed by the I. H. S. & A. A., in winning the tri-state championship at Ohio last week from a classy field. Columbus, Valparaiso, Bedford, Anderson and Martinsville are teams most favored by the fans as the winners of the title. I ————
