High School.

The ’O9 class pins arrived after quite a delay. Subscribe for the Taxiderm, the best school paper published. The Junior English pupils have finished reading “Idylls of the King”. Lonzo Healy is doing the same things —loafing and studying chemistry. Wanted: A few more birds by young men of good standing. Apply at tnis office. The Juniors gave the invitations to the Seniors this week for the Junior reception. The seniors practiced at the opera house from 1 to 2:30 Tuesday and from 2:30 to 4 Thursday. The botany class took several trips this week. . They have several more different kinds of flowers. Ralph Hammond was elected by the Seniors to respond to the toast to the Seniors at the Alumni banquet. The chemistry class took the final examination Friday. The rest of the time will be spent in laboratory work. James Jordan and E. R. Clarke started out to find a pond stated to be there by E. R. Clarke, but instead of a pond, however, they found a hill. A track team was organized last week. The boys are scheduled for a practice meet with Monticello May 15, and for the state meet at Purdue May 22. The taxidermy class has some jolly times, as shown in their paper, “The Weekly Taxiderm”, edited by Elton Clarke. The following are some items from it: * Special Notice: E. R. Clarke has not posted a new set of rules for two weeks. Later—He announces that a new sej, will be published according • to, time honored custom next Mon lay morning. Announcements: The Taxidermy class will have a “Frog-leg Fry” next Wednesday night, May 20. All members now belonging to the class, or exmembers of said class, are cordial lv invited to be present. The Taxidermists met at the home of E. S. Tillman Friday night. All the Taxidermists report a good time except Ed Duvall, who says that the temerity of E. R. Clarke disturbed his equilibrium and his equanarnity and several other things. The refreshments consisted of squabs, peanut sandwiches, pickles, wafers, maple syrup, sliced pineapple and grape-juice. All had a very pleasant time. The Girls’ Saturday Club entertained Wednesday evening, May 12th, at the library auditorium. The room was nicely decorated in purple and white, the colors of the club. The evening was spent playing progressive games. Mr. Bradsliaw r won the prize, a large G. S. C. pennant, for having moved twelve times. Lon Healey got the booby prize, a small G. S. C. pennant. After refreshments were served, all joined in the grand march led by Merle Porter and Dorothea Hollingsworth. The boys then gathered together and gave nine ’rahs for the Saturday Club. An Italian musician that was a whole orchestra to himself visited Rensselaer today, being accompanied by two little children apparently about six or seven years of age, a girl and a boy. He had a bass drum on his back and on top of the bass drum was a snare drum and cymbals. In his hands he had an accordion. Attached to his right elbow and extending backward was the bass drum stick, while the snare drum sticks or playing apparatus were on its inside. Attached to the heel and toe of his right Bhoe were leather thongs that were fastened to the cymbals and snare sticks. As he played the accordion he stood on his left foot and by working his heel and toe he played the cymbals and the snare. All seemed to be in perfect time and he played a variety of pieces. His children sang in good English several songs and the little girl played a tamborine and took ap the collection which amounted to quite a sum In the aggregate. The mother of the children remained in Chicago, said rtne pT*”’ *° rRIM Umb °"

For the Trade of 1909.

I expect to exhibit the best line of buggies that ever came to the city of Rensselaer. I have bought three car loads at this writing and if the trade is as good as last season (and I think it will be better) I will need another car or two. I have the agency for nothing but FIRST CLASS FIRM’S GOODS. The latest styles of auto seats and of other designs of high class, all work made up by expert workmen and no job is misrepresented; nothing but a guaranteed work is bought or sold. The best goods that can be bought Is none too good. The good class of work is the winner In the long run. With this fine line of buggies and carriages I have the farm wagon that has a reputation behind it, the Studebaker, South Bend, Ind. Some one is advertising they are building wagons out of white oak and hickory. Why, this is an everyday occurrence with Studebakers for the last fifty years and still at It. The world’s best mower and binder, the McCormick, also the McCormick hay rake; they have double coil teeth which makes them more than as good again as the single coil. For a manure spreader the Success (p the world’s best It regulates the number of loads you wish to put on an acre. I have other articles for sale, Clover Leaf stock tonic and poultry tonic. Guaranteed to give satisfaction or money refunded. Extras for all machines 1 sell. On Front street, north of the Postoffice and just across the street from King’s blacksmith shop. » ■ C. A.

Spend your money with up-to-date home merchants and see if you don’t get your Moneys* worth". They tell you yon ought to help them. What would you do if you did not have any home merchants? Your farms wouid not be worth quite as much. It pays to trade at home and build up your home towns. You are benefited in the long run, even if you pay more for your goods. There is no reason for so doing, as the 99 Cent Racket Store will place any of the so-called catalogues right on their counters and sell you the “Same Goods for Same Money or More and Better Goods for Less Money.” Why will you patronize these fake houses under these conditions? No sane person would that had any interost in his home interests or in the bettering of his home town. Get wise. Buy at home, build up home interests. Sky scrapers in Chicago do not help Rensselaer a little bit. * Yours for trade E. V. RANSFORD, Proprietor Indiana' 3 * 1, The 99-CENT RACKET STORE
