Same Old Question Again: “Is It Hot Enough For You?”

The weather man is doing his mightiest to make us uncomfortable. Thursday was not only hot but there was not a breath of air stirring and the humidity was increased by the rain of the evening before, which fairly steamed as it evaporated. The discomforts were but slightly mitigated with the setting of the sun and there was nothing to do but to swelter and make the best of it. Outside the house mosquitoes of the meanest kind kept up a constant attack and drove one indoors, where the temperature hung around the ninety mark and It was too hot to read. In the language of an unknown rhymster it was: Too hot to sleep, too hot to lie, Too hot to laugh, too hot to cry, Too hot to eat, too hot to drink, Too hot to read, too hot to think, Too hot to ride, too hot to walk, Too hot to write, too hot to talk, Too hot to play, too hot to sing, Too hot, too hot, for anything.

PRESIDENT TAFT TO URGE POSTAL SAYINGS.

December Message to Congress Will Include Recommendation for , Adoption of Promised Measnre. *- ■ a President Taft is not forgetting the pledge of the republican platform for the adoption of postal savings banks and in conversation with callers at his summer home at Beverly, Mass., he has indicated that his message to congress when it convenes in December will contain an argument for the early establishment of that bank system. President Taft believes that several hundreds of millions would be placed at the disposal of the government through postal savings banks. It is suggested that this money might well be employed in taking up the $600,000,000 or $700,000,000 of -government two per cent bonds which are outstanding and which have given much concern to the "treasury department officials. Already the two per cent bonds are selling below par and there is fear of further depreciation jn view of the three per cent issues which have been authorized and which soon may be placed on the market. The money which national postal banks would draw, the president believes, is that which is sent abroad each year by foreigners who insist that the government’s guarantee shall be back of any bank in which they place their hard earned savings and that which is secreted in stockings and mattresses and not sent to any bank at all. The president believes that the postal banks would appeal only to those timid persons who are afraid to trust the ordinary banks and who would rather get the two per cent, or less interest, which the government would give, than to place the money in the regular savings banks where it would draw from three to four per cent interest each year. By placing the Interest allowed by the postal banks at less than two per cent, Mr. Taft is convinced no harm would be done to the ordinary banks of commerce, for discriminating persons who now place their money in these banks and are appreciative of what they are doing for the community would not withdraw money drawing a high rate and place it under government care at half the interest offered by the ordinary savings banks. President Taft expressed himself again as he did so often during the campaign of a year ago, as unalterately opposed to a guarantee of bank deposits. Mr. Taft said he did not believe in making one set of bankers stand responsible for another set, and he does not think the national government or the states should undertake to extend a guarantee to institutions which are not under direct or government control and direction.

R. N. Moore Brings Us Some News From Trafalgar, Indiana.

R. M. Moore came up from Trafalgar, Ind., the first of last week and today made the Republican office a call, a thing which he always does soon after he reaches Rensselaer. He is a brother of Mrs. Joseph Yeoman and frequently visits them. Mrs. Yeoman was 76 years of age the 20th day of this month and Mr. Yeoman will be 84 the 2nd day of September, and he is in quite poor health. Mr. Moore reports that Eugene Dilley, of Trafalgar, the man who disappeared from his home and was absent for several months before being found in Indianapolis, and for whom search was made in this county because he at one time lived here, is getting along very nicely. He submitted to an operation and a part of the skull that pressed against the brain was raised and it is thought he is permanently cured of mental derangement. He has been working on a farm near Trafalgar. Very little oats are raised in that section and the wheat crop this year was very short. Corn, however, and that is the champion corn country, will be a large crop. Omar Joliff, the unfortunate young man who lost his life while attending the auto races at Indianapolis, formerly worked for Mr. Moore. He was about 35 years of age and unmarried.

Pickle Station Is Doing A Very Good Business.

Last Friday was the largest day so far for the local pickle vats, 400 bushels having been received on that day. The pjlce for the small fftckles is 60 cents a bushel and for the large ones 20 cents. There are Just 102 acreß supplying pickles to the local station.

Mutual Telephone Company Elect Directors Saturday.

Twenty-six of the sixty-four stockholders of the Home Telephone Company met in the east court room Saturday afternoon and elected directors of the new company. Robert Yeoman, of Newton township, acted as chairman of the meeting and in the absence of Harvey Davisson, the secretary, F. E. Babcock acted in that capacity. The state charter for the corporation was read and several matters of business discussed before the election of the directors. The impression seemed to have gone out that all subscribers for stock were to have telephones and some believed that they were to have free service. Mr. Yeoman made a speech calculated to right any impressions of this sort, saying that it would be impossible to place telephones in farm residences where the cost of line construction was not justified by the receipts. The expense of constructing the lines of the proposed company would be so great that the lines would be built along the mainly populated highways and the others reached at future dates when the prospects for business looked encouraging. James Britt, of Barkley township, took an active interest in the meeting. He had solicited for stock subscriptions and had informed prospective subscribers that the monthly rental would be SI.OO per month to stockholders as well as to non-stockholders, but that the stockholders would share in the earnings of the business. The question arose as to whether the parties who had subscribed for stock by attaching their names to the subscription lists were legally liable to buy the stock and Mr. Yeoman expressed the opinion that they were liable. The county was divided into districts and one director elected for each district except for Marion township, which has two directors. The result was as follows: Wheatfield, Kankakee and Keener township—Geo. O. Stemble. Barkley—Grant Davisson. Union —Harvey Davisson. Hanging Grove and Milroy—C. A. Lefler. Marion—F. E. Babcock and Marion Adams. Walker and Gillam —John O’Connor. Carpentep and Jordan Frank Welsh. - Newton—Robert Yeoman. A committee consisting of Marion Adams, J. F. Bruner and James E. Britt was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws. The directors are called to meet next Saturday morning at 11 o’clock and organize by electing officers and a general stockholders meeting is called for 1 o’clock Saturday afternoon to approve the constitution and by-laws and transact such other business as may come up. The company proposes to ask a franchise from the city and also secure the consent of the county commissioners to erect their lines along the country highways. The meeting was not a very enthusiastic one and as the stock subscriptions reported did not exceed $3,600 it is apparent that the company will not be able to operate on the extensive lines at first proposed. A number of those who subscribed for stock are said to regret their haste and from all appearances the consummation of the company is rather doubtful. The fact that the Jasper County Telephone Company has reduced its rates to the former price of $1 per month in the country has resulted also in many reinstating the phones of that * company and many have thought it best to forget the former disagreement and take no part in the new organization, which was inspired largely by the old company’s increase of rates.

Semi-Centenial of the Monticello Baptist Association.

County Auditors Close ♦ Convention at Indianapolis.

After being instructed in the state laws governing the duties of their offices, the county auditors closed the 4hird annual atate meeting of the County Auditors’ Association. The auditors told of the difficulty encountered in keeping the school $ funds of the separate congressional townships segregated as the old law requires and a movement was set on foot to hear on congress to repeal the old law and pass a new one whereby the funds can be merged in the respective counties and the work of the auditors thereby greatly simplified. President Thomas Nugent appointed the following auditors as a committee to lay the proposition before Indiana representatives in congress: Albert Salim, Marion county, chairman; W. T. Richards, Madison county, and Auditor Nafzger, Wabash county. On a motion of Albert Sahm the association re-elected the present officers for the ensuing year: Thomas Nugent, Daviess county, president; William T, Richards, Madison county, vice-president, and Albert F. Zearing, of Jndlanftpolis, secretary-treas-urer.

Long-Handled Shovel Made Lazy Boy a Very Rich Man.

The long handled shovel haß made over three hundred thousand dollars for its inventor, and the Inventor was a lazy shiftless boy of seventeen named Reuben Davis, whose father lived in Vermont at the time. He set Reuben to digging dirt and loading it on a wagon and the short handled shovel made the boy’s back ache: One afternoon when his father was away, he took out the short handle and substituted a long one and found the work much easier. When Mr. Davis returned home Reuben got a whipping, but after the old gentleman had used the shovel himself he saw that it was a good thing and had it patented. They are now manufactured almost by the million.
