THE BEST THING WE COULD SAY

about a banker, is that he isn’t like a banker at all. You know what I mean. Most bankers are too close sighted. Err and fall, they can’t see you. Fall heir, and they take a deep interest in you. (Sometimes--10 per cent). - ' . *■ We all admire a financier. He has been successful and success is our idol and out goaL (Sometimes you find a man of prominence and influence who doesn’t feel it and doesn’t flaunt it. I know one. As a .politician he ran. ahead of his ticket. In real estate his is sought and it’s sound. As a banker he’s put Rensselaer on the map, as a place to do big business. As a trustee, an administrator or guardian, he’s a wizard- . , Ought to be in Indianapolis or Washington, where his level head and proven ability would serve more people. I mean Mr. Deliberate, Infallible Judson J. Hunt, HIMSELF. - There .was, are, is but-one such “Whizz” and Jud is he. See Jud whenyou’ve got -money and Jud will wade right out and save you when you need - it. Believe me, that’s what takes the lemon flavoring out of life. ** Now Mr. Hunt has upandone what every other wise man of means should do. He’s bought a Franklin from THOMPSON & KIRK.

“A NIGHT IN HONOLULU.”

“K Night In Honolulu,” a play of life in Hawaii, in three acts and five scenes, is from the pen of Howard McKent Barnes; the scenes, which are laid in this Island Paradise of the Pacific, are said to be the most realistic ever reproduced on the American stage.

the air with an atmosphere of Hawaii which carries the audience across the Pacific to that beautiful land of sunshine and flowers'. The stage settings in showing the “Gardens of Wisteria” is a scenic and electrical wonder, and is indeed a .beautiful sight *to behold, there in the soft moon light on the beach at Waikiki amid the palms of that romantic shore, as one stands there listing to the pulsing of the surf, and watches the glittering waters of the South Sea as 4he reflection of the moon stealing thru the trees is thrown upon it. The eruption of the volcano and the fire scene are also a sight not to be missed for they are considered the greatest efforts of the producers for the stage in many years, giving a reproduction of the- volcano of Kilauea in eruption, spouting forth its immense sheets of flame and white hot rock, fthe lava rolling down the side of the crater and setting fire to a sugar plantation in the low-lands. The play concerns the episode in the life of a beautiful Hawaiian girl, her lover an Englishman and their child. The Hawaiian girl deserted by her lover, the’ Englishman, {in a spirit of revenge substitutes I the child of- his white wife for that of her own which has died and rears her as a native. She is afterwards known ‘as “Kalama” the. dancing, girl of Hawaii. She is sought after by the white people, flattered and favorfed by them, out when her heart goes out to a white i man and the sentiment is recipro- | cated the old hateful barrier stands in the way; the intermingling of I the race is confronted.

BOOSTERS HERE TO HELP M’CRAY

NEWTON COUNTY ENTHUSIASTS MAKE AUTOMOBILE TOUR. ■ V 1 ' • *. ■ Boosters for Warden T. McCray, of Kentland.X candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination passed through this city this Thursday forenoon. The party was traveling in eight large automobiles decorated lyith American flags and banners bearing the inscription: “McCray For Governor.” The members of the party are all enthusiasts and are working with a will to land the nomination for Mr. McCray. From here the party continued to Lake" county. The purpose of the tour is to counteract an attack made upon Mr. McCray by the Hearst newspapers, articles appearing in the Sunday and Monday Herald-Examiner charging the Kentland candidate with not supporting the war activities in his county and with being a tax dodger. Wednesday the party consisting of about sixty representative Kentland and Newton county people, made a tbur south and east .from Kentland, visiting the following places: Remington, Wolcott, Reynolds, Monticello, Chalmers, Brookston, Battle Ground, Lafayette, West Point, Attica> Pihe Village, Oxford, Fowler and Earl Park. Emory Towers, Mr. McCray’s private secretary, was at the head of the delegation here. The Rev. C. L. Harper, pastor of the Methodist church at Kentland, and a former pastor here, was also an enthusiastic member of the touring party. •The following article was taken from Thursday’s Herald-Examiner: Ade Denie Interest in Indiana Gov- , ernor Fight/ George Ade wired The Herald and Examiner . yesterday) from French Lick, Ind., denying he had thrown himself into the battle over the Republican .nomination for Governor of Indiana. “Permit' me to say,” wired Mr. Ade, “that I have kept absolutely out of the contest, and am neither opposing nor espousing any candidate. Regarding all campaign developments I am quite ignorant, having not been at home since last Fall. During my absence I have sent no messages which could possibly be construed as indicating I had intended to oppose or support any of the .candidates.

SPRING BRINGS MUSIC; WHERE’S OUR BAND?

Rensselaer as usual has the nucleus for ah excellent band, and in years past the city has been represented by as fine a musical organization as could be found in this section of the state. This year is no exception as to musical timber. Many of the members, of former bands are still here and available. In fact there are enough of them here at the present time to insure a splendid organization. ' Musical organizations mean much to every community, and the fact that this year is election year should serve to inspire our citizens to a united effort toward financing a band. There are many .times during the year when bands x are the most necessary part of any city *or county program, such as Memorial day, Fourth of July, etc. There will also be many times between now and election day that the band will be needed by both political parties for their rallies, and a movement should be started at once toward securing a band to-represent the city. The boys are ready and willing to do their part, a competent leader is available in Mr. Tonner, who so successfully instructed in other years. All the suggestion needs jb a little push and we will have the band. . - J .

SEARCHING FOR AUNT, MONON HEAD LOSES SLEEP

The telephone bell in the offices of the transportation building in Chicago tinkled right merrily about five o’clock Monday evening-. The call was for H. R. Kurrie r president of the Monon railroad, • ana a resident of this city. Mr. Kurrie .was tn. .. _ The voice at the other end of the wire proved to be that of his aunt, Mrs. Higgins, of Minnesota, who informed her nephew that she was en route to Cincinnati, but would be in the 'city over night, asking that he call at the Northwestern station for her. Mr. Kurrie did so promptly, and then his hours of trouble began. There was no Mrs. Higgins to be found. Vainly he scanned the faces of the hundreds who thronged the great station, but failed to discover the familiar face. Etery nook and cranny of the great terminal was searched and the result was the same. . Mr. Kurrie grew anxious, then alarmed. Detectives were secured to aid in the search for the missing lady, and telegrams ’ were sent to relatives in a desperate effort to gain some clue as to her whereabouts. But no information of .value was unearthed. The hours of the night lengthened into the early hours of morning. and still the search continued without avail. The thought occurred to Mr. Kurrie that he might possibly be the victim of a practical joker, but he promptly dismissed the thought from his mind. Finally the searchers grew weary from \ their prolonged hunt and decided to get some rest .preparatory to renewing the search in the morning. . Morning came and with it the mail man. The office girl placed a letter bn Mr. Kurrie’s desk, which bore the familiar handwriting of his aunt. Mr. Kurrie came. The envelope was opened, aifd, as he read, a smile which steadily grew, covered the face of the Monon - presi- । dent.. Finishing, the letter was I placed back in the envelope and- the nephew turned to his day’s labor with a light heart and with an expression that signified happiness. For hadn’t Mrg. Higgins just informed him that train connections to Gificinnati were much better than she had she had boarded one only a few minutes after having called him?

“BEFORE BREAKFAST”

The cast and chorus employed in the production of the charming musical comedy, to be staged by the Board of Charities at the New Ellis Theater Wednesday and Thursday evenings, May 5 and 6, have been rehearsing afternoon and evenings for the last two weeks under the direction of George H. Hoskyn, who so successfully produced his military play, “Under the Stars and Stripes,” here some years ago for Co. M, when Colonel George Healey was in command. The musical numbers . are mostly taken from this season’s successes, such as “Angel Face, “Rose Of China, and “Take It From Me,” with several dainty" songs from the Frances Clifford Publishing Company of Chicago, which specialize in high class production chorus numbers. The director says that both the chorus and the cast are in excellent shape already and with seven more rehearsals we may anticipate a perfect evening’s entertainment.. Among the principals are Willette Hill, Harold Littlefield, George H. Hoskyn, Ivah Healey, Ruth Clark, Gladys Shaw, Isabelle Beaver and Miss Marjorie Loughridge, and a large chorus of high school boys and girls. The beneficiary is a most worthy one, and we expect to see two packed houses in the newly decorated theatre.
