GLEANED from the EXCHANCES

Leonard Rooze, age 18, a farm laborer in Tippecanoe county, was killed late Monday beneath a disc when a team of horses ran away and he was thrown under the revolving blades. Another employe, who was working nearby, stopped the horses, but not before Rooze was dead. Rav. I. 'H. Ade, who had been the pastor of the United Brethren churches at Mt. Ayr and Aix for some time, and was recently returned there, has resigned on account of inadequate salary. The, Mt. Ayr charge was willing to do its share toward raising the salary, but the Aix people thought they were paying all they could stand, hence the resignation. Irregularities and shortages in the accounts of Luther Worl, Grant county treasurer, are alleged in a certified report received ht Marion following an examination by two experts from the state board of accounts. Worl was indicted by the grand jury Sept. 23, charging him with embezzlement and misapproipriation of funds to the amount of $21,233.55. The concrete silo on the farm of William H. Jones in Gill township, Sullivan county, said to have been the largest silo in the world, collapsed Wednesday. Henry Vigne 1 of Merom, who was working on the top of the ensilage, fell nearly 100 feet but escaped with severe bruises.; Other men working about the silo were warned by the cracking in time to escape. The silo was of reinforced concrete construction, 36 feet in diameter and over 100 feet in height. Liberty Ginn, age 95, owner of extensive farm land in eastern Indiana, and a virgin woods of 1,500 acres, died at his home north of Muncie Monday night. He had lived on the farm for 89 years. The land had been obtained from the government by his father. Attractive offers had been made by dealers for soene of the valuable lumber in the wooded tract, but Mr. Ginn would not permit a tree to be cut, nor that part of the farm to be cultivated. A son and three daughters survive and will divide the large estate, the value of which Is said to be unanown. Mr. Ginn attended to business affairs until within a few days before his death.

MUDDY’ ROMANCE FOLLOWS HER QUEST FOR ADVENTURE WHEN THIS SPOILED GIRL TURNS HOODLUM

There’s Laughter in Chunks, Gales and Tornadoes as Mary Pickford Portrays “The Hoodlum.’’ When a pretty Fifth avenue miss who speaks proper English attempts to reconcile herself for a while, at lease, in a most sordid neighborhood, unusual events are destined to happen. This theme forms the basis of “The Hoodlum,” the second production starring 'Mary Pickford produced by her in her own studios and which will be seen Oct. 10 and 11 at the Princess theater. Comedy-Romance Comedy and Comedy “The Hoodlum” is essentially a comedy romance picturing the distress of the fashionable Amy Burke who decides to reside in the tenements in order to be with her father whose life work depends upon a successful book on sociology. Amy makes great friends of Dish Lowry, a tenement chap who is a past master at shooting craps, evading cops, and helping the 'unfortunate; old Peter Cooper, whom no one seems to know, and a struggling artist who was wrongly sent to the penitentiary to cover up a crooked deal of Amy’s rich grandfather. It is a fact, however, that the artist does steal Amy’s heart. How Amy adjusts family matters by almost landing herself in jail makes a fast moving comical story.—Advt.

MAYOR HODGES MAKING GOOD

any agreement," the chairman began explaining but the mayor cut him short. "I know you have violated the agreement, and you know it, too, and you know the danger of having so many men congregating. 1 will give you just 15 minutes," declared the mayor, looking at his watch, "to get these men off the streets. If they are not gone then, I shall call every force the city has at command and put them off, and I say to you," continued the mayor emphatically, with his watch in hand, “that if the forces of the city are called out this strike is ended so far as Gary is concerned. It is not my intention to put men into the mills, but If the men wish to go into them, I shall see that they do so unmolested, and 500 pickets means trouble. There is no half-way measure about this thing. The strikers as' well as every one else must stand by their agreement or we will take action, and quick action.” The mayor’s order was promptly obeyed. Before the 15 minutes had expired all the pickets but 20 had disappeared from the streets and what was certain to have been conflict was passed. The mayor drove back to the city hall and the incident was closed. . Mayor * Hodges is a native of Kentucky, we believe, and several years ago was located in Rensselaer for a time in the practice of law, going from here to Gary. He is a Republican in politics and was elected mayor at the last city election held there after one of the hottest political fights in the history of the steel city. iHte is certainly proving himself to be made of the right stuff and, like Mayor Hansen of Seattle, is demonstrating what a little backbone and straight talk will do in situations of this kind. “Red leaders and their followers are always cowards and a little direct language, backed by a few wellaimed bullets, if necessary, will send such coyotes yelping to their holes.

RENSSELAER SCHOOL NOTES

(Continued from Page One)

ington at the park Saturday at 2 p. m. We have a strong line-up. The boys have worked hard and faithfully to put themseflves in trim. Coach Hadley, recently from Earlham college, is 'confident that his team will push Remington hard. Come out and cheer. The faculty is convinced that better spelling is needed and, as a result, the entire high school will spell twice a week. The class in animal husbandry, with their instructor, Mr. Woerner, spent Thursday and Friday afternoons visiting the hog breeders of this community and, incidentally, inspecting their farms. Miss Mabie Atwood, instructor in domestic science, and Miss Geraldine Wallace, supervisor of music and art, were absent from their duties Tuesday and Wednesday on account of illness. The high school campus furnishes an excellent setting for the reading of “As You Like It.” This was proven by Hhglish 10 on Thursday and Friday. The faculty and students of R. H. S. extend a cordial invitation to the friends of the school to visit them at their home-—the high school building—on any school day. They are busy, yet .never too busy but that they have time to greet their friends.

Grammar Building The grades in the grammar building are well organized and the work is progressing very nicely under the management of Mr. Nave, principal; Miss Sage, 7th and Bth grades; Miss English, 7th and Bth grades, and Miss Miles, 6th and 7th grades, with Miss Atwood, domestic science, and "Miss Wallace, music and art. The attendance and spirit of the school so far has been good, but owing to the weather the past week some puipils have been out with colds. The enrollment for the entire building is as follows: Sth grade, 18 boys and 28 girls; 7th grade, 19 boys and 17 girls; 6th grade, 13 boys and 17 girls; total, 50 boys and 62 girls; grand total, 112. Absences: Room 1, Miss English, teacher—Boys, 1% days on account of work and other causes, and 5% days on account of sickness. Girls, 1% days on account of sickness. Room 2, Miss Sage, teacher — Boys out, 6 % days, sickness and, work; girls, 1 day, sickness. Room 3, 'Mr. Nave, teacher—boys, 5 days,, sickness; girls, 15% days, sickness. Room 4, Miss Miles, teacher — Boys, 10% days, sickness; girls, 8% days, sickness. There has been some talk the

past few days among the grade of going on a strike —for cooler weather, only. Miss Atwood, who had been confined to her room since Tuesday, was able to be back at work today (Thursday). We are certainly glad to have her with us again. The 6th grade pupils are manifesting a genuine interest in their nature study work, which for the first month has been the identification and description of trees. The herbariums prepared by the children are interesting and attractive.

Primary Department

The general health of the pupils has been good. Absence has been due to rainy weather and some few cases of influenza. Children are urged to play out ot doors. Teachers are present on the playground at recess time and supervise the general conduct of the boys and girlk The playground attitude has been superior to any of former years. Recesses are divided so that the child plays witn ■one of his own age. The school hopes for an early medical inspection because of possible epidemics. The teachers earnestly Invite friends and patrons of the school to visit classes early in the year in order to bring about more effective work. Watch for an announcement of a community organization with a primary division. Primary 'building enrollment is 253.

AUTOMOBILES

Oct. 4, 1919. Dear Sir: It isn’t a very pleasant feeling to stop and shift gears half way up the side of a hill, or to be forced a mile or so out of your way because a bad stretch of road imakes riding so uncomfortable. Your car may give satisfactory service in every other way but if it holds you in fear of a rough road or a steep hill, or if it loses its new appearance and develops squeaks, it is not the car that makes motoring a pleasure. The new type car —the Essex—has solved the light car problem. Low in first cost and economical in up-keep, the Essex nevertheless possesses all the power, endurance and comfort of the large and costly car. In the Essex you need fear no hill, however steep, or road however rough. It is so rigidly built that it withstands rough usage without squeaks. It retains ' its good appearance. It is so designed that all wear can be taken up, thus maintaining the same performance qualities that so soort disappear in cars not similarly designed. Behind the Essex are years of experience in building fine cars—cars that are leaders in their class. If you want to know what a real pleasure motordom has In store for you, try a ride in the Essex. Telephone and we will arrange a deimonstration. / Yours very truly, HUGH KIRK.

Obituary

Dena Mae Brown. Dena Mae, little daughter of Grover and Marie Brown, was born near Parr, Ind., May 13, 1918, and departed this life Sept. 28, 1919, at the age of 1 year, 4 months and 15 days. Her suffering was of one weeks’ duration, being serious from the first and she gradually grew weaker. She was a sweet, loving child, and willingly took her medicine until the last, but it was God’s will to give us a sweet bud here on earth, not to blossom here but in heaven. The funeral services were conducted from the Christian churcn by the pastor, Rev. W. T. Barbre. Burial was made in Weston cemetery.

New vs. Old THE Brunswick Method of Reproduction has established new standards of tone projection, due to two outstanding features two departures from old methods. The Ultona reproducer enables you to play all records at their best. Just a turn of the hand presents to each type the proper point and diaphragm, its exact position on the record, and the precise degree of pressure.J' As no One record maker has all the desirable Singers and entertainers, the advantages of the Ultona are easily appreciated. The Brunswick Amplifier brings Out “tones hitherto lost and eliminates the usual metallic sounds, for it is built entirely of molded wood like a fine violin.
