E. P. Honan went to Indianapolis yesterday and was to speak last night at a big meeting of the Catholic Order of Foresters there.

It is always a safe bet that “Honan will be there” whether anyone else goes from Jasper county or not. In fact, a Democratic state convention without Honan would be like playing Hamlet with Hamlet left out.

High School Notes.
The military question which was voted on some time ago resulted in a 105 to 43 victory for the ayes. Miss Stover has nearly recovered from the effects of her accidental fa>Kof last week. There remains only five more weeks of school. The advanced chorus has the music for commencement well in hand. The
boys and girls’ quartets are beginning their music. The tenpts court which was built last year mas been put into use again by those who desire its use. New lockers are being installed in the domestic science department tor the benefit of the sewing classes. The sophomore English classes are going to read “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” by Shakespeare. There will be given at the Rex theatre next Tuesday a show’ entitled, ‘'The Stolen Voice.” The benefits will go to the aid of two or three departments of the high school which are in need of some moneys Nearly all the members of tha junior class have-paid in their money for their pictures. Mr. K rosier addressed the senior history classes Tuesday and Wednesday on the Civil war and battle of Gettysburg, accompanied by lantern slides.
The mechanical drawing class hasstarted a design of a bridge for'the crossing of the Iroquois at the line of survey of some fe w Weeks ago. The tenoning machine has arrived for the manual training department and will be put into use in a short time. There will be a manual training sale day and it. is hoped that it will f irn out profitably. The hoodoo that generally follows athletics has taken the form of rain for the teain, and indoor practice has been necessary. In the discussion,contest on municipal homo rule at Whiting last Friday evening Robert Reeve, the local representative, got third place; Lafayette received second, while Whiting got the bacon. Mr. Gavot of Hammond, who won the contest here last year and now is in Chicago university, mindful of the courtesy shown to him at Rensselaer, requested his father to receive the Rensselaer delegation with all possi-
ble courtesy. Mr. Gavot invited the Whiting delegation as a joint guest, with the Rensselaer delegation, which report a delightful trip. With proceeds of the operetta arid some money donated by the Ladies’ Literary club the .school now possesses a class room stereopticon. This is proving to be very helpful for lantern, slides, post cards and printed material may he thrown on the screen. The senior German class will spend the rest of the year in sight reading. At a senior ohms meeting Monday evening Helen Leatherman was elected to take charge of the program for the class night. Senior play practice is being held every night this week. The senior English short, story class Is jwrHing short stories of the five types and this work will be averaged ao a part of the final examination since the time of examination will not allow writing of,a story. The recital of Mrs. Alice Shedd Randle will be elven Thursday. On Thursday, May 4, the centennial program will be given. The public is cordially invited to these numbers.
Riley to Pose for Historical Pictures
James Whitcomb Riley, beloved Indiana poet, has accepted an invitation extended hini by Governor Ralston at the solicitation of the Indiana historical commission and the Interstate Historical Pictures corporation, to pose for the historical motion pictures now being made for use during the various centennial celebrations. Mr. Riley has been in Florida during the winter and it was thought that he would not return in time to be “filmed” here in Indiana but he states in his letter to the governor that he thinks it best to do his “posing” on Hoosier soil. Mr. Riley will return to Indianapolis May 3 or * and the scenes tn which he appear? will in all probability be staged in the neighborhood of Lockerbie street, whet’fr- the poet lives, and which has become known from Atlantic to Pacific because of the mention made of it in his writings. Although the Hoosier poet has “posed’’ numerous times for movie men he has never "acted” before the camera and the Indiana historical film will be made all the more valuable through his participation in it.
