Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 August 1916 — “Lamb Shearing” Time at Hand Again. [ARTICLE]

“Lamb Shearing” Time at Hand Again.

Rensselaer is to have another board of trade shop. This is known as one of the best towns of its size for “wool gathering” anywhere in the country, and about ever, so often some firm blows in, shears the lambs to a finish, and then departs for fresh pastures. . With the experience Rensselaer sports have had in bucking the grain and stock market through these agencies it would not appear that the wool crop should be very prolific. But “once a gambler always a gambler” seems to be the rule, and Rensselaer has always had her share of sports who were ready to take a chance on the other fellow’s game.
