Staid Be Classed.

_At the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Minneapolis this year a proposition to set aside the last Sunday in May as Memorial day will e considered. It. is claimed by many '. that the change is demanded in view oi the manner in which the real purpose of Memorial day has beenobsei ved. When the holliday falls upon a week day it. is almost «tclnsively given over to sports and pleasure and scarcely a thought is given to the heroes of the Civil war, living or dead. To establish a Sunday for the annual observance would tend to do away with the present manuer of celebration. The day Would, it is claimed, be given over more particularly to the old soldiers and to those who are sincerely moved to take the time “to honor the men who fought to preserve their country. Many of the games and pastimes which are now indulged in would necessarily have to be abandoned.

Think of This One Minute.

How does it happen that the Stndebaker factory in South Rend. Ind. covering 101 acres, is the largest vehicle factory ia the world How does it happen that more than a million Studohaker vehicles are in use the world overt How does it happen that the Studebakei bnsiness has shown asleady growth and inen awe every year for more than fifty years! How does it hop pen that the Studebaljer reputation for all that goes to make a good ▼chicle is higher today than evei before! Do yon think it jnst hap pened or was there a reason for it! Yon know there must, have been a reason and this is it. The abso lute reliability of the Stndebakn product It appeals to careful buyers, men who are satisfied only with the beet. If you belong to that class, if yon like a good farm rather than a poor farm, a good horse rather than a poor horse, a good wagon rather than a poor wagon, we ask you to investigate the Studehaker before buying. See the Studebaker agent Roberts the Buggy Man. Rensselaer, Ind.

Myrt Bets A Marriage License.

-2- Jr ' 5 - i — 7 ..-V— y.-... - .-..-rr-- | Tho our old bachelor county surveyor. Myrt B. Price, has always beeu ready when convention time comes round, to make a new ; promise *to get married if he is given the office another term, he has always found some means to avoid fulfilling the promise and yet getting a new nomination when he needed it in his bnsiness. This state of affairs has been going on a good while, aud a great many people have about given up all hopes of its ever being any different, at least not until Myrt gets so old and slow footed that he can no longer dodge the arrows aimed at him by the god of love. Be that as it may, Myrt actually called at the c runty clerks's office Saturday and took out a marriage license. It seems that by a mishap of some kind a fine marriage license made out for a ccuple Saturday was spoiled by a big blot of ink after it was all filled out, and : s Myrt came in soon after and asked for his official certificate of election, Clerk Warner gave him this license neatly folded, and after opening it and giviut* it a cursory inspection, it looked so good’to him that he put it in his inside pocket and went away happy. 'His happiness w[as sooumlxed with alloy, however, for very soon the whole bunch of county officers were put next, and all repaired to his offiee, ostensibly to talk over the question of when all the new terms would begin. Of course it soon became necessary to examine Myrt’s supposed certificate of election, and which alter diligent search was found still in his pocket and pro duced by him in all innocence. When heTbund what it was he inV > !* • - a ■* scattered the pieces over the floor. He finally reluctantly admitted that the joke was on him and his tormenters withdrew and left him again to bis bachelor meditations.

Dobbins For Ail State Team.

The Indianapolis News of last Saturday evening gives a list of high school football players of the state for this season whom its football editor thinks good enough for a place on a se'ected team made up of the 11 best players in the state. On this team it places, Homer Dobbins, of Rensselaer, in the position of right half back aud says of him: - .

Dobbins, of Rensselaer, is named as the other halfback on the strength of his end running ability. A team without a strong end runner would be practically 7 a ten-man team, aud Dobbins could fill the hole most acceptably". He is also strong on defense. He played a fine game against Englewood high school, of Chicago. Thursday. Shortridge, which last year defeated Manual, remembers Dobbins, who played a fine game in Rensselaer’s victory over the North Side team.

Of the entire team, five are from Manual Training School, of Indianapolis, one from Shortridge, of the same city, three from Brazil, and one trom.Muncie. The fact that six of the whole 11 should be selected from Indianapolis, shows what looks like a strong bias in favor of those teams. The state championship is awarded to Manual with Brazil put iu second place. Columbus, Auburn and Rensselaer are all the others mentioned and all are credited with having made good records, but that ( their schedules have not included the best teams in the state.
