FRIDAY. North Judson is to hold a jubilee October Bth and 9th. Purdue University opened Wednesday with a larger attendance than last year. Co. M rifle team went to the shoot ing range JTear Parr today for two days’ practice. The total school enrollment at Elkhart is 2,675, a dropping off of 128 compared with 1908. Harry Eger was the singer at the Princess last evening and received considerable applause. It will soon be time to cast around for candidates Tor city offices, as new officers are to be elected this fall. Rex Warner has sold his interest in the Princess theatre to his partner, Fred Phillips. The change in ownership took place yesterday. The M. E. congregation has appointed a committee to attend the annual conference and look after the interest of the church here. It is desired to secure a minister that has not been located here in the past. Geo. W. Goff attended a meeting at Monticello yesterday of the directors of the proposed new interurban road from Hammond to Lafayette. The meeting was secret and nothing will be given 'out for publication at this time. ■ ■■is---r.i-.TnVI- r- ■i. rTi^vi, ,-j Ed Harris, of near Mt. Ayr, and Ed Sunderland, of Foresman, each have pacing horses that they , think are unbeatable, and have arranged for a race in Rensselaer on Saturday of next week. The wager is $lO a side, two best in three. Attorney B. F. Carr, Sheriff Price and John Biederwolf received a consignment of large mouth bass minnow’s yesterday, from the U. S. Fish Commission which were liberated in the Tippecanoe north of town. They each received 600, making 1,800 in all. They were large, lusty fellows ©ver three inches in length and capable of taking care of themselves.— Monticello Journal. Dr. Wiley,' the U. S. pure food expert, says that eggs in this country should be sold by weight, as they are in France. Yankee shrewdness discovered that it takes much less food to produce and keep small hens that lay small eggs, and so long as eggs are sold by the dozen the smaller the hens and the eggs the more the producer makes. The consequence is that hens and eggs are being bred down to bird’s size and after awhile a man will have to order a dozen for a square meal. Where eggs are sold by weight 11 larger eggs are produced. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S CASTO R I A A new town to be known as Lena Park is being laid out in Starke county. 1,000 lots are to be given away free to get the new town started. An excursion was run from Chicago last Sunday, when 600 lots were given away. Two automobile and a piano factory are being located there to give the town a start. The Erie railway passes through the land and two other railways are within a short distance. Lena Park is only 3% miles from North Judson. The Arm at the head of the scheme advertises that they will dispose of 25,000 lots.

Heal, of Indianapolis, who has the contract for the examination of the county records, is expected to begin work Monday. The contract was approved by the commissioners this week. He is to receive $1,900 for his work. o Miss Elizabeth Lane left Tuesday for an extended visit with her sister, Mrs. E. E. Pierson, of Sioux Falls, S. Dak. She was accompanied as far as Chicago by her sister, Miss Kathryn, who will remain several days to visit friends there. X. Geesa, of Virgie, was here on business today. Mr. Geesa is a large honey producer, but the foul brood got among his bees and he has had a hard fight to get the disease under control. He has managed to save forty-five colonies and will have a crop of 3,000 pounds of honey this year if the honey flow continues a few days longer. Old Hoosier slide at Michigan City is doomed and its days are numbered. Railroad companies have been hauling sand away from the hill at the rate of from twelve to fifteen car loads a day. A steam shovel will be put in operation soon and about thirty car loads a day will be taken from the dune. It is estimated that at that rate the hill will disappear in Jive years time.

Dick Crowell, who went to Montana some months ago, is home for a visit. He was called back by the illness of his father at Monticello. Dick was one of those who drew a in the Flathead reservation at the recent government drawing. His number was 2414, but as it is expected that at least 1,000 of those drawing claims will not file for same his chances for a good claim will be that much better. The filing for claims will not take place until April 10th. Dick has a good one picked out, but is not certain that some one will not select this claim before him. The cost of these claims is from $1 to $7 per acre. They are what are knovpr as desert claims, no provisions having yet been made for irrigation.

A meeting of the board of directors of the Indiana Northwestern Traction Company was held here yesterday, for the purpose of organization. Mr. Eugene Purtelle, of Chicago, was elected president; George A. Haskell, of Chicago treasurer, and William Brucker, secretary. This is the second interurban to be organized in the past two weeks, having Monticello for headquarters. Prospects are bright for the success of this company as it claims to have ample money j,n sight with which to finance the proposition, and it is understood that there is a proposition coming to them from Mr. Infield who has been working on a road over a similar route through Jasper county.—Monticello Journal.

Parr Tb Have-Fall Festival On October 8th and 9th.

Parr will hold a fall festival that is not for Union township alone but for all of Jasper county. A meeting was held at Parr a few days ago and plans laid to make this the greatest event ever pulled off in Union township, and that is saying a great deal. One of the promoters of the event said, “Not only is Union township moving to the front by ditch and road building and by the erection of fine homes and barns and big cribs for the abundant crops assured by the recent drainage schemes, but its people are taking a better interest in life and social and business conditions are demanding that we keep right to the front, and we want a fall festival that will be a credit to the county. To this end we have selected as good a crowd of boosters as ever got together and we want the co-operation of Rensselaer and all of the county.” The committees he referred to are to meet with all others who want to help the movement along, at the court house next Saturday at 1 o’clock and make a report, and a full attendance is not only desired but is very essential to the success of the festival. > The committees are: Horses—Chas.
