HEREFORD SALEB ASSOCIATION

Formed at Meeting Held In Reneeelaer Last Tuesday. To show that there is a great deal of interest manifested in a Hereford Sales association, some twenty Hereford men representing Newton, Jasper and Pulaski counties, met in the county agent’s office last Tuesday afternoon and perfected a Hereford sales association of the three Ues mentioned. S. 8. Davis, county agent from Newton county, presided over the meeting and explained the objects and benefits of such an association. Much enthusiasm . was manifested in the talks given by the Messrs. John Guild, Firman Thompson, W. L. Bott, O. S. Bell and Charles Fleming. It was the unani* mous opinion of all that John S. Capper, Hereford breeder at Star City, be president of the organisation. The other officers elected to carry on the business of the organization were: O. 8. Bell, vice-president; D. M. Mawhorter, secretary, and James Fleming, treasurer. The directors appointed were: N. M. Bott, John Guild and King Chamberlain. These three men, in collaboraUon with the officers, were appointed to draw up a constitution and by-laws and namte the organlzaUon in the near future, which will probably be the first week in January. This is the first organlzaUon of its kind in northwestern Indiana and it has for its object the aiding of small breeders of Hereford cattle and promoUng the best interests of the Hereford breed at large.

ST. JOSEPH’S DEFEATS Y. M. P. O.

Racing along at neck-breaking speed from start to finish with the score only a few points apart at any during the fray, St. Joseph’s college nosed out the Lafayette Y. M. P. C. in an extremely exciting contest by a basket’s margin, 36-24. The college five took the lead at the start when Curl caged the first goal and was soon followed by Cox. Lafayette was held scoreless for some time until the rangy Kallmeyer succeeded in dropping one in, opening an attack which looked dangerous for the purple and red quintette. The first half ended with St. Joseph leading, 22-12. 1 Lafayette fought desperately hard in the second half to outclass its smaller opponents, but the speed and, shooting ability of the locals was tod much for the visitors, forcing Rlchs* men to bow in defeat when the fluM gun sounded, 36-34. •• 3

THAT FOOT & MOUTH BANQUET

is where we pal Rensselaer’s spot ball team on the back ani kick Mo roeco a little lowpr down-It took Morocco a year to make us mad; end’ll take ’em another year over it. M. had td eat wdrdMj and that's about all R. wW have tfi eat at the banquet, Anybody that ain’t bad supper, can' ask for a' change of menu. M. said* we didn’t have no team. Anyhow/ we still got the money we bet on' 'em. Btggeqt mistake they made was to pay the lb f in ad va»ce. Haven’t seen anything Mr. Gilroy in Rensselaer visiting friepds. v He’ll probably be h® re none s Of these days. That bird that raves about fermented fodder has thrown a smoke screen over our literary dreams. '' He says our stuff beVer makes nobody mad because nobody reads it .

He didn't dare take his girl to the game; he's got one in Morocco, too. As Doug Fairbanks says. It’s h— to be Maryed. "Lefty Bud” changed clothes three times and missed the first act last Saturday night. The banquet hein’ a stag, he’ll get there in time to say grace. Idea of tryin’ tc teed a football player on two dollars st the H. C. L. Still, they eat raw meat and drink blood. Guess two dollars would line two live cows up against them at market prices. M. is busy already gettin’ up alibis for their defeat next year. M. paper said a game would decide which team was the best. Now they say it didn’t A lot of fellows wanted their money back after the game. I don’t mean their gate money. M. manager said he couldn’t find R. on the map. We found M. alright, but there was nobody home.

They think their Q. B. was "fixed.” We know it; we fixed him. They also thought the Ref. was fixed, but he didn’t stay fixed them ways. I saw “Squint" talking to the umpire. I’ll say he needed a good talking to. We didn’t buy their Q. B. off; we knocked him that way. We had a whole bucket of dope on stoppin’ drop kicks, but M. kicked it over. M. wanted to play on their home grounds. What the h — difference did that make? •

Robertson, the prince that runs the Princess, says you can’t even get security in M. Since the game nobody owns anything. Our rule book is a misprint. We didn’t .realize it till we saw Gilroy’s decision on a blocked kick. “There’s a divinity that shapes our ends.” It was one of our well shaped ends that caught that forward pass that beat ?.em. Don’t forget yourself in Morocco. Cassel says it keeps him busy wiping the cobwebs out of the cash drawer. The only good thing In that burg-Is the bus for Rensselaer. —Contributed by a Fan.

MR. MOTORIST:

Are you taking the chance of permitting your battery to freeze? Many are doing so by neglecting a few simple instructions. Remember, when a battery freezes it is ruined beyond repair. The safe plan is to permit us to store your battery sot you, either by the “wet” or “dry” storage method. “Wet” storage consists of seeing that the battery Is always kept fully charged. “Dry” storage is better because the battery Is completely disassembled and chemical action entirely suspended, thereby preventing the battery from aging, which cannot be prevented in wet storage because the chemical action is constantly taking place. Neither of these methods Is expensive. In “wet” storage you pay only for the necessary recharging. In “dry” storage no charge is made for storing your battery, the only charge being for reassembling with new separators. The slight charge for storage means that your battery Is insured against freezing so that when spring comes around you are not faced with buying a new battery. We will be glad to explain the relative advantages of these methods in detail if you win but caU. play safe, and put your battery in our hands today. ; / ' ; Toure for battery insurance, RENSSELAER ELECTRIC CO,.

NOTES FROM COUNTY HOSPITAL

Miss Louise Sommers of near Surrey had her appendix removed Thursday. * ( > John Prieb was able to return to his home yesterday. Russell Leah, who underwent a major operation, recently in St Elisabeth’s hospital, Lafayette, was brought to the county hospital yesterday afternoon tor a few days’ treatment before bding taken to his home In Barkley township.

MOTOR CAR SATISFACTION

means getting from your automobile just what you expected you were ger ing to get before you owned the car. It means that you can leave home for any kind of a trip—long or short, cold day or hot day—with the certain knowledge tijat you are going to get there and back without trouble or worry. If your car does not work out this way, you are not getting what you ought to get, what you have the right to expect. Absolute reliability and satisfaction are guaranteed in the Franklin by the 'built-In principles that give 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline, 12,600 miles to the set of tires, and 50 per cent slower yearly depreciation. As far as cooling goes, motor car owners freely admit that the lugging around of a cumbersome radiation system with the necessity of frequently filling it with varying quantities of water, (and perhaps doctoring It with anti-freeze is not conducive to ease of mind. Direct air-cooling, eliminating( 17T parts and all the unnecessary weight of the water-cooling systems, is the logical way to cool an automobile engine. It cools efficiently under the two extreme conditions, as proved by twb widely divergent .incidents. At the time of the Minnesota forest, fires a Franklin was used in the rescue work. The temperature was 106 degrees. Water-cooled cars could not always stand that and many dropped out. The Franklin came through, despite the fact that the heat was so great It scorched the paint off. Again, In Maine last winter, three motorists started a transcontinental tour. They ran Into snow-bound roads so Impassable it was necessary to chop the car out of the drifts. But the Franklin engine didn’t mind this extreme cold any more than the excessive heat. May we have the opportunity of proving the efficiency and perfection of Franklin principles of light-weight, direct air-cooling, as successfully ap. plied to the Franklin car? £ THOMPSON & KIRK.
