EXTRA SESSION OF LEGISLATURE

Indianapolis, July s.*—Governor James Goodrich today issued a call for a special session of the Indiana Legislature to convene at 1:30 p. m. Monday, July 12. The call is merely a formal notice of the date for convening and does not set forth the matters to be considered. The governor announced some time ago that he intended to call a special session. The financing of state institutions is expected to be the most important matter to be considered at the session. The governor after issuing the call said he would not discuss the program before the legislature convenes. He said he expected about a dozen subjects would be presented to the assembly. Besides providing funds for the maintenance of state institutions the legislature is also expected to take up bills for the construction of a $10,000,000 war memorial.

THE FOURTH OF JULY IN RENSSELAER

The Fourth of July of tomorrow of 1921, of the Good Fellows’ organization. Old Glory floated over our beautiful city yesterday while you were all gone. We handful of people were at home to watch her blush at the indifference shown the real cause of her display on that day. May it never happen again. It will not be because the missing link has been found, but the lack of real co-operation. We have the most generous community when they are approached in the behalf of a good cause, and they respond in the right way. We are going to ask all to contribute with their subscription for a Fourth of July for 1921, right now, that we may continue as duty demands us to hold forever and celebrate the Fourth. This money will not be collected until next June or thereabouts. Remember this is a Good Fellows’ celebration. If you are a good fellow place your name and amount on the paper being circulated, if not, stay in the old town that day and we good fellows will show you one of the best Fourth of July celebrations ever held in Rensselaer. All will be well for all good fellows who have helped make the day. We have not waited in vain, nor will you say, “Do you think that we will celebrate in Rensselaer next year?” But we can proudly say all year that Rensselaer is going to celebrate the Fourth in 1921. Out of the handful of the people that was left in the city yesterday we had $320.00 subscribed, and now have about $500.00. You boost, don’t knock, and the money will be available for the next Fourth, if we take time by the forelock, as do other great prisesBe a Good Fellow. —CONTRIBUTED

CITY DESERTED MONDAY; OTHER TOWNS CELEBRATED

Rensselaer was a deserted ' place Monday, the celebrations of nearby cities luring our people away. Wheatfield, Monon, Morocco, Crown Point and Cedar Lake drew the major porVon of them. Crown Point had one of the largest crowds in the history of the city, and the splendid attractions which had been booked, kept the visitors well entertained throughout the day. Wheatfield also had a large crowd and a fine celebration, as did Morocco and MononSome of our citizens felt that this city should have celebrated, but the matter was treated witin lukewarmness by the majority. A subscription paper was on its rounds among the merchants early this morning, and provides for funds to be applied on a July 4th celebration in 1921. It has been several years since Rensselaer has observed the day and arrangements should be made for a big celebration in another year. And a three or four day stock show this fall or an Armistice Day celebration would not be amiss. We should all assume a more aggressive attitude and keep our city to the front.

HOBOES STRIKE TRAIL FOR WEST

New York, July s.—The city is the hobo’s mecca in the winter. Along about the time of lovers* fancy and house cleaning and robins he seeks the trail of the rail and ties- Somewhere the wanderlust will lead him but it must not be far from the desires of the hobian epicure. It matters not to the knight of the road what he wears on his beck, his stomach must be full. Wheat harvest is swinging along out in the middle west There the hoboes, who nest themselves in the east during the winter begin their summer vacation. As the yellow rain ripens with the season, moving gradually northward, the vaabond rovers move with it. • And the day has changed for the lowly disciples of the open road! There was a day when the hoboes who joined j n an exodus from New Yor k and other large cities for the summer had to work occasionally for their fare. The fanner of the west was not begging for a hand in the hay field or at the threshing machine. He was not pleading, threatening, feeding, nor down on his kpees to any man. But Paradise Regained! The hobo westward band now finds open arms for him, meals ready and steaming, anything his heart desires if he will but go to the field and work. Short handed, with the golden millions unharvested the tenner is to become a slave of his master, 4;he hired man, will help him reap the product of his year’s work. The hobo, which .made up the former ranks of the migratory labor and was the principal support in harvest time for the grain fanner and fruit grower, is greatly thinned in ranks. Times are too prosperous \ and there are too many steady jobs. The hobo clan now consists of college boys out for the summer, land girls, farmers whose crops have faHed at home, and the old time hobo goes because he likes traveling.
