HAPPENINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

FAIR OAKS Can Manderville has just recently had a phone put in his house. Cottage prayer meeting was held at Mrs. Isaac Kight’s Wednesday evening. Isaac Kight and wife were entertained at Sunday dinner at Abe Bringle’s. Junk Dewitt of Wheatfield visited relatives here a couple of days the first of the week. John Thor and family of 'Hammond came down Sunday for a few days’ visit with relatives. The weather has certainly been something fierce the past week and owing'to the show and heavy sleet the roads have been very bad. Health is pretty good here except that quite a few have been experiencing a little trouble with colds and sore throats this' week. Sam Potts is preparing to 'move hack to town as soon as the weather moderates. William Piatt of Parr will occupy his farm this year. There is quit© a lot of cord wood being shipped from here and the Lawler switch now days. They cannot get cars fast enough to meet the demand. Sunday School Superintendent Gourley of the M. E. church dismissed the school a couple off weeks ago until spring. This is the first time since the church was built that it has been closed. The bricklayers at the new school house are of the stick-to-it kind, as 1 they have lost very little time on account of bad weather. It is thought they will get through with the brick work this week. John Roorda, who has been living on section thirty-one, the Otis ranch, for over fifteen years, has decided to leave it and. will move next spring over west of Roselawn. We are sorry to lose such excellent people from our midst. Clarence Rush, the oldest son of Mt. and Mrs. Frank Rush, and Zella Wiseman, the only daughter of John.' Wiseman, both of Newton county, were quietly married at Kentland Thursday of last' s’week. 5 ’week. A reception was given them the same evening at the home of the groomi’s parents, and a large number of friends were in attendance. The bride’s mother died several years. ago and she has made her home with her brother Farm, about five miles west of town. Mr. and Mrs. Rush will begin housekeeping on a farm near Roselawn in the near (future.

GIFFORD IHarry Reed butchered a hog Friday. James Hankins is on the sick list at this writing. Zena Ballard took dinner with John Akers’ Monday.

Wednesday after visiting relatives and friends here for a week. Albert Hurley and family of Laura are moving their store from there to Kniman this week. We wish him success in his new location. Our school teachers. Miss Ruth Kennedy and Miss Vesta Brown, have changed their boarding place from Sheridan Louge’s to Chester Caster’s. William Steel was taken to the hospital at Rensselaer Sunday. Reports from there Monday stated that he was in about the same condition. Dick Caldwell of Minneapolis, Minnesota, returned to his home Tuseday after visiting a week with relatives and (friends here and at Repsselaer. Misses Beulah Walker, Leota Obenchain and Elsie Haniford called on Miss Beatrice Caster Friday evening before her return to high school at Gary Saturday. A bunch of young folks gathered at the home of Ruby, Teddy and Vern Keen Friday night, departing at a late hour after enjoying the evening in games and music.

We understand that five auto thieves were caught at Medaryville last week, and that six big cars were found under some hay. where they had been hidden by them. The dwelling house of Taylor Hankins is completed and, a party was given to the young folks by the former Wednesday night. A fine time is reported by everyone. Miss Ruby Keen was the recipient of a nice New Year’s present, a camel stick pin, given by a friend. The camel has diamond eyes, and Miss Keen was very much pleased with the gift .

ARE YOU PROUD? If any one on God’s green and beautiful earth ought to be proud to be an American citizen, it wouid seem that party should be no other than a German-American citizen. Coming from a land where the government owns everything, the people included, to a land where the freedom of the will may be freely expressed, sometimes running riot over into the edge of treason: to a land where every opportunity of w’ealth, position, advancement and Ifame are afforded, coming to a land where the sunshine of freedom permeates and radiates the atmosphere of liberty, I say, coming to this land with all these benefits, then in the hour olf its tragedy to turn a cold shoulder to the land that has fed them is basest ingratitude. If I could imagine myself such an ingrate as not to appreciate this land of promise above every other land, I would certainly feel like landing on myself for a proper punishment. Whether this is our country by naturalization or free birth it should be none the less dear to us. If the songs of America, “The Star Spangled Banner’’ and “The Red, White and Blue,” and the sight of Old Glory with its 48 stars and thirteen strips awake * no spark of energy in your breast then you have no part in this glorious land of ours. What you should do is to exit. Buy a one-way halfway ticket eastward across the Atlantic, get off in the middle, submerge and join that innumerable caravan olf submarine victims at the bottom of the sea. —Ex.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

Miss Mildred Selkirk, who is teaching at the Blackford school in Barkley township, sent in to the office of the County Superintendent for blanks to enable the Blackford school to join the Junior Red Cross. Blanks for this purpose may be obtained from the County Superintendent. This is the second school in Barkley township to join the Junior Red Cross. Lacross H. S. defeated Wheatfield H. S. in a game of basket-ball last Friday night at Wheatfield. County Superintendent Sterrett was {selected as the neutral referee. The ■Wheatfield team consisted of Charles Osborne, Alvin Karch, Floyd Clark, Cecil Nees and Leslie Jensen. Wilson Clark played part of the second half. William DeArmond, who is teaching at the Grube school in Wheatfield township, w.as transferred to the Tefft schools and the place made vacant by Mr. DeArmOnd was filled by a Mr. Reeves of Converse, Ind. The Jasper County Board of Education met in regular session last Monday. The board proceeded to transact the necessary legal business and adjourned. There was , not a quorum necessary to tran- [ sact new business. Mr. Rush of Newton, Mr. Porter of Carpenter and Mr. Wood of Marion were the only trustees able to withstand the weather. Whenever a school secures the unanimous consent of patrons represented by children, the consent of the trustee, county superintendent and wagon haulers, it may then have school on Saturdays except the Saturdays set aside for township institute and teachers’ examinations. The county superintendent gladly recommends that each teacher proceed at once to -secure the consent of patrons, trus-l tee, etc., so as to release the older I boys for farm work earlier in the spring. In every case his consent will be given in advance. The County Council of Defense ‘for Jasper county commended the action taken by the school authorities at Remington since holidays. They are running on a six-day schedule.

Fair Oaks School Notes The new school building will soon be ready for the roof." Arrangements are already being made for dedication exercises in the spring. It is possible that State Superintendent Ellis or State High School Inspector Williams will deliver the dedicatory address. The high school record was misplaced but has been found so that a better classification of the high school pupils could be made at the opening of the second seihester. James McKay has enrolled in junior English and commercial geography and dropped second year Latin and English with the sophomores. Paul Barker has enrolled in commercial geography. Attempts are being made to save time for many of the sophomores who are well advanced in years so that their course may be shortened at least a semester. Several of the second year high school boys are eighteen and better. Cart Smith and Herbert Rude each kept clean “Interest and Deportment” pages last month and also secured a few per cents merit to open the next month. Carrol Burroughs was exempt in all subjects last month. His name was omitted last week. The first music lesson of the second semester was given last Friday. ' • The following high school pupils were absent last week on the days indicated: Olive Burch, Wednesday; Thursday and Friday; Gladys Hammerton, Wednesday; Aleece Stanley, Wednesday: Paul Barker, Friday: Carrol Burroughs, Thursday: Bessie Faylor. Wednesday; Orren Gourley, Wednesday and Friday: James McKay, one-half day: Gladys Ogle, Wednesday. The following pupils of the 6 th, 7th and Bth grades were absent: Warren Brouhard. Wednesday onehalf day: Dorcas Karr and Myrtle Hall are absent this week on account of sickness.

WHY ADYERTISE? Charles M. Schwab spoke at a recent meeting of business men. Schwab is not a talker. He knows the game, and though he started life' without a ; cent has made himself a millionaire. “The business man who stops advertising because it's war time make'’ a great mistake," said Mr. Schwab. ’’War time or peace time, the story of the duck and the hen holds good." “When a duck, you know, lays an egg. she just lays it and waddles off. That's' all. “But when a hen lays an egg, she makes a racket over it fit to raise the dead. . “The hen, gentlemen, advertises. Hence the demand for hens’ eggs instead of ducks’ eggs.’‘
