PASTOR WANTS AUTO FOR CIRCUIT RIDING.

R«r. Kuonen Asks Aid of Chicago Paper in Procuring Money to Buy Substitute for Dobbin. Rev. E. M. Kuonen, the popular pastor of the Barkley circuit of the Methodist church, is receiving considerable notoriety because of a letter he wrote to the Chicago RecordHerald. The paper gives his appeal front page prominence and the affair has brought attention in other cities. Indianapolis papers are wiring for information to correspondents. Rev. Kuonen’s letter tP the RecordHerald reads: v

“I am pastor of a large Methodist circuit and am traveling an average of thirty five miles a day. I have only a little horse and my salary is per year. I have a family of four to support. “I am trying to raise money to buy an automobile for my charge. Could you give me the names of several manufacturers or other persons who, in your opinion, may be helpful in my enterprise?” He has not misstated the facts. He is a diligent pastor of the Barkley, McCoysburg and Lee churches, and devotes much of his time to driving over the circuit visiting members of the churches and working for the good of humanity. Rev. Kuonen has been pastor of this circuit for two years and has within that time made many friends throughout the county. All will agree that an automobile would be a great aid in his labors. The automobile as a factor in ministerial work in country fields is not a new one in Jasper, county. Rev. W. G. Schaeffer, the young and successful pastor of the Brushwood United Brethren church, uses a machine. With it he can accomplish much more than he could,drining old Dobbin, and he maintains it at less expense. If there are any philanthropists who have any knowledge of the difficulties encountered by a pastor in a circuit field, they could not do better than to come to the aid of men situated as Rev. Kuonen is. The request is a reasonable one and soeqS one should answer the appeal.

A number of dredge ditch men are here to attend the Dexter ditch letting. Edwin Harris, the ML Ayr grain dealer, was a Rensselaer visitor yesterday. E. M. Parcels is now running a barbershop in Indianapolis, having purchased one .there about three weeks ago. Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Thompson returned to Gary yesterday evening, after a visit of several days with her relatives here. Mrs. Thompson was formerly Miss Thena Meyer. John Duvall is at the Laporte fair with his mare, Hattie Vest, this week, and was scheduled to start today. Judge Hanley and family, W .F. Smith and family, and E. J. Duvall went over to attend the fair and see the races. Mrs, T. B. Pullins and children left this morning for her home in Ft. Dodge, lowa, where she will visit her parents for the next .two weeks. Mr. Pullins will remain ..here with his mother and other relatives about that much longer and then join his wife at Ft. Dodge, and they will go to their home at Phoenix, Ariz. Wm. Banes, of Goodland, is in the city canvassing for the sale of the Domestic Vacuum Sweeper. This is one of the best vacuum cleaners on the market, is easy to operate, cleans a carpet perfectly without stirring up dust in the house, and housecleaning, which is usually such a hard job, can be done with the use of this machine nearly as easy as a house can be swept in the ordinary way. The machine will pay for itself in a short time in the saving of labor and will last a life time with ordinary care. The sweeper should be seen in operation lb be appreciated. James E. Brenner returned Wednesday evening from Annapolis, Md., the beat of the U. S. Naval academy, and will be home for thirty days, visiting his mother and other relatives. He has been a second classman since the first of June, when he received his rating on his work for the preceding year. He began his third year work with a cruise to foreign waters and returned to Annapolis only a few days ago. Jim is getting along splendidly with his studies there and is very much pleased with the life. He will graduate a year from next June and will then be an ensign In the navy, at a salary of SI,BOO a year.

Military Marksman Returned From National Rifle Matches.

Segeant Jerry B. Garland returned Thursday from the national military rifle matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. Sergeant Garland earned the right to go to this match as a member of the Indiana team by having been one of the high men at the state matches held at Fort Benjamin Harrison in July. He was at Camp Perry twen-ty-six days and besides drawing pay according to his rank while away, got in on Several cash premiums. At Camp Perry\were the best marksmen in the United States and Sergeant Garland was well to the front in a number of matches. The Indiana team pulled up six places from where it stood last year. Of the 42 teams of twelve men each entered in the national team match, Indiana ended in 21st position, as against 27th of last year.

In the Hale match there were 274 entries and Garland got 26th position and prize money to the amount of $5.50. In the Catrow cup match he was 15th among 165 entries, making 99 points out of a possible 105 and being only 3 points behind the high man. In this match he got $6 prize money. In the governor’s match there were 272 entries and Sergeant Garland was 28th and got $6 prize money.

In the enlisted men’s team match the Indiana team won third place and Garland’s total is thought to have been the highest individual score in the match. In the national individual match Garland was only 9 points behind high man at the end of the 600-yard stage. He shot the 1,000-yard stage, under very unfavorable conditions, however, and fell down, making only 35 out of a possbile >flfty. This put him outside the high 36 in that match and he got none of the prize money. His total prize money amounted to $26. Sergeant Garland’s record at Camp Perry is a great credit to him. He met riflemen who have been shooting for many years and proved his ability by shooting well to the front in every match. It is hoped to get other members of the local company on the state team by another year. Considerable firing will probably be done on the Parr range yet this fall.
