Mr. and Mrs. J. W. King will leave Thursday morning for Warsaw, Indj, where they will make their future home with their children, Mrs. Aden Rupe and Fred King, after having resided in Rensselaer continuously since the year 1872, or a period of forty-eight years. The departure of Mr. and Mrs. King will be a source of keen regret to their many friends here an dthe -best wishes of all will accompany them. M. and Mrs. King likewise find it very hadr to sever the ties of friendship which have been so binding for such a long period.

Cullen street.

TODAY IS BUSY DAY FOR THE G. O. P.

The Republican party will be exceedingly busy today,'Tuesday, with primaries in five important states in the union. During the day 133 delegates will be chosen to its national convention in Chicago June 8, about one-eighth of the total number. In Ohio, 48 delegates are to be elected "with the chief battle between Wood and Harding: Massachusetts is to select thirty-five, with the main struggle between Wood twenty-eight delegates, in a contest between Johnson and Wood; the state of Washington is to choose fourteen_and Idaho will select eight in a convention. So far as can be forecast from the reports on public sentiment, in the various states, the name of Johnson seems to be the most prominent repeated by the voters and it is believed that he will poll a great number of votes in all states.

O’RILEY BAKERY INSTALLING FINE NEW BAKE OVEN

Ralph O’Riley, owner of the Golden Loaf Bakery, is installing a fine new Marshal bake oven in his Elace of business, made necessary y the heavy demands for his bread and pastries. The oven has a capacity of four hundred loaves of bread and will permit Mr. O’Riley to enlarge his businens materially as well as being a great time saver. The front of the oven is made of white enamel. The furnace has a continuous, steady heat and is so arranged that the ashes are removed from the rear, adding to the sanitary conditions. Complete, the oven weighs fifty tons and is one of the most modern made. Mr.' O’Riley came to Rensselaer a few years ago and through his progressiveness and thrift has built up one of the best bakery businesses in this section of the state. Cleanliness and printer’s ink have been partly responsible for the success he has gained. Much of Mr. O’Riley’s bread is shipped to nearby towns and during the past few months the demand for it has been increasing l by leaps and bounds, which has made his present equipment entirely- inadequate to care for his business.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

The following applicants for teachers’ license wrote on the April teachers’ examination: Wilson Clark, Wheatfield; Fairy Deardurff, Morocco; Mamie C. Reed, Remington; Margaret Delahantay, DeMotte"; Grace Knapp, De Motte; Charles M. Blue, Rensselaer; Gay Makeever, Fair Oaks; Jessie White, Wheatfield; Florence Frame, DeMotte; Day Jordan, Gifford; Jessie Raredin, Parr; Mabel Kemper, Wheatfield; Dorothy Boyle, Wheatfield; Cecile Jordan, Rensselaer; Vera Woods, Rensselaer; Mary Miles, Rensselaer; Clarence Kelly, Remington; Alta Lucas, Remington; Martha Parker, Remington; Alpha E. Kerlin, Wolcott; Helen Cain, Remington; Nellie Johnston, Remington; Marie Weging, Rensselaer; Hellen Kessenger, Rensselaer; Alice Myers, Wheatfield. Of the entire number there was but one applicant for high school license and one for a primary license. The others were applicants for the common ’ school licenses. Eighteen of the twenty-five sent their manuscripts to the state department for grading. The April examination was about one-third the size of the March examination. Practically all of the teachers are arranging to continue their professional training and many have already enrolled in normal schools and universities. The general index of school efficiency for Jasper county is very promising at this time. It is true that there will likely be a shortage next fall but very few teachers in Jasper county are drifting into a state of lethargy expecting to gain a school on account of this. The lesser part of this few are compelled to remain out of school on account of sickness. It is a matter some cannot afford but are compelled to remain at home on account of finances. Commencements will be held at Tefft next Wednesday, at Wheatfield next Thursday and . Friday night. — The town—bolds —its- commencement on Thursday and the township on Friday night. Commissions were issued to the Tefft and Wheatfield high schools last week.
