FIREMEN ROUTED BAD BLAZE THIS MORNING

The fire company responded to a call coming from the Comer House on S. Cullen street about eight o’clock this Thursday morning, and found upon their arrival that the roof of the dwelling was on fire. The flames were routed in a short time by the use of forty-two gallons of chemicals. No water was used. The firemen went about their work so quietly and effectively that Court Reporter Michael Wagners slumber was not disturbed. A hole about eight feet square was burned in the roof. Miss Comer had started a fire in the kitchen range with cobs, and sparks falling on the roof were responsible for the blaze.

WHY SUFFER WITH THE HEAT,

when Vern Nowels has car loads of refreshing drinks, and you c ® n take a six mile, no-expense trip in your Franklin car? People are asking us every day. We dm not know we had so many friends. Up to date nearly two hundred people have ~ seen the Franklin go over 20 miles to the gallon and do it without trying in any special way to save gasoline. Around the court house square, in good streets and without the engine hood (to get more heat) we averaged 40 and 8-10 miles to the gallon. It’s too hot to work—let s nde. THOMPSON & KIRK.

HONOR FOR FORMER TEACHER

MARGARET HILL McCARTER 1 FIRST WOMAN EVER TO ADDRESS NAT’L CONVENTION. Margaret Hill McCarter, a teacher . in the Rensselaer schools about thir'ty years ago and an author of • national fame, established a precedent Wednesday when she ascended । the platform at the auditorium in , Chicago to address the Republican National Convention, it being the first time in history that a woman had ever been so honored. Although Mrs. McCarter spoke but two minutes she was roundly applauded, the spotlight following her as she walked off the stage supported on the arm. of Henry Cabot Lodge I while the cameras of the movie men Mrs. McCarter is present at the convention as a delegate from Kansas. She is an ardent suffragist and for many months has been a prominent figure in the fight being waged by her sex for recognition in the management of the country’s affairs. ... . ~ Arthur Brisbane, writing in the • Herald Examiner, describes Mrs. McCarter’s appearance on the platform, as follows: — . “Now a lady is to speak; a delegate, of course, Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, from Kansas. The lady is just introduced (12:10) by Mr. Lodge, who probably mutters within his pretty gray whiskers: “God knows, I never expected i to see this day.” . Mrs. McCarter is a writer. Fiction

is her specialty, and, be it said most respectfully, she can talk as well as write it. She says, “I represent twenty million American women,' of whom nineteen millions are Republicans.” Mrs. McCarter begins her speech a little tremulously, “sparrow from the house top” style. But her voice gets stronger as she goes along. It is quite clear that she is not going to say anything you never heard before, but at least she can be heard, and she is dignified and earnest, a vast improvement on the average man delegate. " This lady, first to adress a gathering of this kind in the history of America, is dressed all in brown. She hardly gives you time to describe what she has on before she is done. Her little speech lasts only two minutes and a half and winds up with “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” . She is applauded so well that the management turns the spotlights on her and Mr. Lodge offers her his arm and escorts her out on the bridge. Then you learn that another bitter -pill is his, for he is actually going to be photographed for the movies with that lady, while Mr. Strong Lung announces: We shall all sing two verses from the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

JASPER COUNTY AGRICULTURAL NEWS

~ Grain School A Succeas. Although the grain school at Rensselaer, June 4, was not attended by the farmers as was desired, it was nevertheless a success. There were about thirty farmers and grain dealers in attendance. The school was called to order by the county agent, who introduced W. A. Ostrander, of the soil and crop department at Purdue. Mr. Ostrander gave a very interesting talk on the varieties and types of small grains, especially that of wheat. One important point that he brought out was that Gladdin, Gypsie and Turkey Red varieties demanded more phosphate than some of the more common varieties. This with application of larger amount of phosphate, the lighter colored berries can be greatly eliminated and a plumper and more ■mature berry can -be produced with 1 higher milling qualities. Mr. T. A. Sommers, representing the federal government in grains, demonstrated the methods and means of grading and docking of small grains. Very much interest was manifested in this topic by the way in which every one crowded up close to catch every step of the demonstration. The school was appropriately summed up by Messrs. E. G. McCullem of Wolcott, Cloyd Loughry of Monticello and W. C. Babcock of Rensselaer. Other men of note that were in attendance were, R. S. Thomas, of the soil and crop department at Purdue and Mr. M. P. Hill of Francesville.

OWNER MARVELS AT REPUBLIC PERFORMANCE

The following excerpt is from a letter submitted to us by the Roberts Motor Car Co., Inc., Republic distributor at Portland, Ore. It was addressed to the Lyle Garage, Lyle, Wash., and signed by Mr. J. E. Dunne of the Hazelwood Ice Cream Company, (of Portr land). . . “The past winter period we witnessed the greatest demonstration by the Republic truck that has ever been known in our plant. When practically every other truck of ours was tied up we were able to climb over the tops of all those huge snowdrifts in Portland, and continue our delivery in the face of almost a total stoppage of other vehicles. We put all our men on the one truck, made all deliveries from it and succeeded in getting t^‘I Ug think probably this is the greatest testimony we can give you in behalf of the Republic truck. In addition to this, we find it easy to keep up, our men like it very much—its manipulation is easy and its care is not great.”
