princess Theatre Invests in An Aluminum Curtain for Pictures.

It is .anything up-to-date in the moving picture theatre' business Col. Fred Phillips, of the Princess, intends to have it. During the recent scarlet fever fright and the rest which the theatres -have had, Manager Phillips has purchased and installed an aluminum curtain on which the pictures will hereafter be shown. It differs from the canvas screen in that it is entirely opaque, not permitting the light to pass through. On the ordinary curtain much of the delicate coloring is lost by reason of the fact that it passes through the canVas. The aluminum curtain holds all this and the effect is very superior to that produced on the ordinary screen. - This curtain will be used for the first time when the Princess reopens on Friday evening of this week.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1910. '

PARR CREAMERY STARTS OFF WITH 900 POUND RUN.

Stock Company Butter Factory at Parr Has Auspicious Beginning And Looks Very Promising.

The Parr creamery started Monday to receive creanf and Tuesday manufactured 900 poundß of butter, which is a very fine beginning. One of the stockholders said thpt the butter was the kind that melts in your mouth and that it will compete with butter made any place in the world. It is the intention to receive cream every other day or three days, of the week and to pay the highest price that it is possible to pay. The member^ of the company are largely dairymen and they are not so much interested * 1n the profit on the creamery business as they are in having a convenient market for their cream that will assure them the highest price at all : times.

W. E. Price, who conducted the Parr cream buying Btation for a long time, is the secretary and superintendent of the creamery. He is a competent business man and a hustler for business and has a good knowledge of the cream and butter business. He is the Monon ticket agent at Parr and is Also engaged in business, his store being next door to the creamery. t

The creamery is a model of cleanliness, newness and convenience in arrangement. Parties bringing cream enter a covered driveway, the cream is taken and weighed right before their eyes and they, know they are getting just what they are entitled to. Cement floors, good machinery and plenty of light are features of the plant, and the, stockholders are starting out with the conviction that they have made no mistake in going into the business. Plans are being made for a big barbecue, with a whole roast beef, lots of fresh bread and plenty of good butter served to all who congregate. The date will probably be Saturday, June 4th. It will be thoroughly advertised and the public will be invited to turn out and help make it a great success.

Theatres Will Open Again Friday Evening of This Week.

L. B. Josserand Writes About Conditions in Oklahoma.

L. B. Josserand writes as follows from Durant, Okla., to which plate he removed a year ago: “I herewith enclose money order for the Semi-Weekly Republican for the ensuing year. We are all enjoying good health and our share of prosperity in Bryan county, Oklahoma. We have been having an*abundance of rain and we feel assured of a bumper crop of everything. The past week wound up the strawberry harvest. The acreage hereabouts was about 200, of which we had a part. About 300 berry pickers were required every day for four weeks. “Oats will do to harvest the first week in June and wheat the last of this week. Corn is being laid by, most of it being waist high. Cotton is usually a good stand and looks well. Fruit, surch as peaches, pears, apples and plums, of which there are numerous large orchards, are loaded with the choisest kinds of fruit and the early peaches are juiJt now getting ripe. Dewberries and blackberries are also ripe. We are well pleased with this part'of Oklahoma and think we have come to stay.”

Backache is only a simple thing at first; But when you know ’tis from Mie kidneys ; That serious kidney troubles follow, T-l\at diabetes, Bright’s disease may be the fatal end, * You will gladly profit by the following experience. ’Tis the statement of a Rensselaet citizen. Mrs. A. J. Abbott, N. Main street, Rensselaer, Ind., says': “I can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills highly for they were of the greatest benefit to nlfe. My back was extremely lame and

I was annoyed by a kidney weakness. Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from Fendig’s Drug Store, helped me at once and before long all the symptoms of my trouble had disappeared. Since taking Doan’s Kidney Pills my health has improved so greatly that I have been able to attend to my work with ease.”
