Woodmen Contemplate Seceeding If Rates are Raised Jan. 1st

■■_ 1 ✓ Telegrams from Kansas City and Elgin, 111., state that mass meetings have been *betd'to'Wbtm~ag&iiist'the raising of Woodmen insurance rates, and that these orders will secede if the new rates are put in vogue on Jan. 1. Nothing could be greater folly. The new rates make an insurance that is worth while, that a man can count on as a sure protection. No insurance could be long maintained on the old basis. Gradually disappointment was coming to those who have long been members for the order would have become bankrupt in only a few more years. Now you can take a pencil and paper and figure out the insurance just as you would calculate any other business in which you were about to engage. To secede means to give up good insurance for an uncertainty. A Woodman of the new basis has a policy that is worth its face value. Valparaiso Woodmen have taken a sensible view of the increase in “rates and after a thorough discussion they decided to stay with the order and comply with the new order of things. The best insurance commissioners in the United States have advised in the adoption of the new rates, and the change was necessary or the order would have been forced out of sixteen states where by law a reserve fund is required. -*

Brilliant Sun Dog Visibile Early Part of Sunday Morning.

A cold weather phenomenon of rare beauty and brilliancy was seen by many Jasper county people Sunday morning. Our attention was called to it by Mrs. George A. Williams and we found it to be the finest of its sort we have ever seen. The phenomenon was a parhelion or sun dog, which the weather bureau explains to be the refraction and reflection of the sun’s light by minute particles of ice in the upper atmosphere. It is similar to a rainbow, not so large in diameter, not so vari-colored and not so clearly outlined at the upper part, but extremely brilliant on both sides of the sun, the lower segments * hidden by the horizon. The brilliant image did not fade away until the sun was more than two hours high and many who saw it pronounced it the most brilliant they had ever witnessed. The weatheriqpn explained in Chicago that the phenomenon occurs when there happens to be an intersection of two solar halos of different radii. An ordinary halo is common enough but is rarely visible to the naked eye. It is when two halos in* tersect that we have a sun dog. The sun dog does not serve as a forecast for future weather as commonly claimed. It occurs when the weather is cold but does not indicate continued cofif. It has no bearing on future events.

Some Real Winter Still And No Relief Promised.

The country is having some real winter this year. It extends generally over the north and well into the south, far. south Sunday as Jacksonville, Fla. Rensselaer suffered one of the severest cold spells of the year, notwithstanding the fact that on three or four other occasions the mercury had sunk to a lower, point. The government thermometor registered 12 below as the minimum Saturday night The mercury hung near the zero point all day and during the morning a wind from the northwest made it very disagreeable. In Chicago the coldest point reached Saturday night was 7 below, while Indianapolis reports 10 below. Rensselaer is apparently in the coldest belt of the state. North Dakota points show as low as 20 below, which is not nearly so low as WAS the case during the cold spell of three weeks ago. The weatherman does not offer qs any relief, saying there will not be much change in temperature. The groundhog has set right in to make good in the very worst way he can.

FAIRBANKS GIVES SERMON IN LETTER TO EDITORS.

Tells Missouri Newspapermen to Raise Republican Banner High—Hnrmopy After Differences are Settled. Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indiana, who generally has a right ring to his political utterances, addressed the following letter to the’Republican Editorial Association of Missouri in declining an invitation to attend the editors’ annual banquet, and it is good reading for Republicans of all states. The letter follows: “It is with very great regret I find myself obliged to withhold acceptance of the invitation of the Republican Editorial Association of Missouri for the 26th instant. Imperative engagements stand in the way; otherwise l would be with you and *renew the. pleasant acquaintance I have made with the men who, with steadfast devotion a few years ago, put Missouri in the Republican column. I know first hand something of their arduous service. There is indeed much need. of them in the present and the future —for there ean be no Success without them. “No true Republicans can view the present posture of political affairs without real concern; our safety lies in a frank recognition of this fact, and in our taking counsel of each other. Republicans must not lose their heads; npr must they lose confidence in each other or in the great principles upon which' their party founded and for which it has always stood. We know full well that sound political principles do not change with the seasons; that conditions may change, and that .we have the wisdom to adapt those principles to our varying national needs. “The Republican aprty requires no apologist; for it has always been abreast of the times and has stood invariably for our development along rational lines. Our greatest advance has been made during its ascendency. This potential fact should, of course, not be good reason for anyone withholding his faith in it now. “It seems to me that we have fallen upon unusually hysterical times; the air is filled with the loud impeachment of men and the challenge of our political policies which have had the sanction of years. Even the sufficiently and beificence of our political fabric is here and there seriously questioned. The more there is of this, the more need there is of holding fast to the fundamental principles of the Republican party. v “Among the isms which are presented for our consideration many should be utterly rejected as in contravention of our national interest; but there are two which we enthusiastically accept; we should hold fast to them through good and evil report, for they are Republicanism and Americanism. “We do not claim infalibility for the Republican party, but we do insist that for sixty years it has been more nearly right than any other party upon the great basic questions of our national progress. It stands for Republican government as it was conceived by our fathers; for an honest and fair protective tariff, a sound and honest banking system; money of undoubted soundness; trust and corporate regulation, so as to surely safeguard the best interests of all the people. The Republican party has the wisdom and the inflexible purpose to modify the laws whenever experience shall suggest in the interest of the largest number. Honesty, justice, economy in government; and fair dealing" among men, are its watchwords. “We need fear no political adversary; for a united Republicanism is invincible. We have only to fear ourselves. “There is room for all in the Republican temple. If we have differences, let us reason them out together; for honest difference among men is the source of strength. Having composed our divergent views within our household, let us go forward, inspired by the memory of our great achievements and by our best traditions; let us have a rebaptism in Republicanism; let Us take renewed inspiration from our deeds done in the public interest, and from. the patriotic devotion of our great leaders—Abraham Lincoln and William McKinley, dead—Theodore Roosevelt and William Hoard Taft, living. Let us again raise high the Republican banner and write across it in living fire the immortal words: “With malice toward none; with charity for all.” Very sincerely yours, , P CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS.

Football Rales Will Have a Number of Changes for 1912.

The football rules commission has completed its work and as a result a lot of changes have been provided for the future playing of the game. To discourage the forward pass four downs will hereafter be allowed Instead of three. The referee, field judge and time keeper will be dispensed with. The head linesman will also be timekeeper and will haye jurisdiction over offside plays. Otherwise the umpire will have complete-authority. The field will hereafer be 100 yards in length instead of 110. The kickoff will be made from the 40 yard line instead* of the field center, and the ball will be put in play from the 20 yard instead of the 25 yard line following a touchback. - A touchdown will hereafter count 6 points and a goal following is 1 -point, making the total of 7 points from a touchdown. This change was made to cause the touchdown to have more than twice the value Of a drop - or place kick, thus eliminating one-man victories. A ball that strikes the ground in a try at goal and then bounds over the bar will not count. The ball mjust sail clearly between the goal posts. The onside kick is cut out of the game. There will be a rest of only one minute between the first and second and third and fourth periods. A ten yard zone back of the goal lines is preserved and a forward pass counts for a touchdown if caught within that zone. Football coaches all over tjfe country are pleased with the change and all say that the game next fall will be better than ever before.

Quite a crowd of people gathered at MtCoysburg Sunday evening for church services, but on account of the cold weather the minister did not come. .The church hour was, however, very pleasantly spent in song service, together with a short, talk by Mr. Morris. Gifford Morris played the cornet and Russell Willit the violin and with the singing, made some very pleasing music.

Des Moines, lowa. —If a committeeman should ask me to name W man who would please all, entertain all and edify all and one who would leave the whole community admiring a manly man and saying nothing but good words for the Lyceum movement, I should say, “Get H. V. Adams.” I will class him as the “all-round man.” I am fully conscious that the above are strong words, but ten years of acquaintance explain why I use them and go thus on record. —L. B. Wickersham. People have taken a great interest in the Lecture Course this year and judging from the audience present at the John Eberly Concert Jan. 24th, a large crowd will greet Mr. Adams this evening.

When the back begins to ache, Don’t wait until backache becomes chronic; * Till serious kidney troubles develop; Till urinary troubles destroy night’s rest . [JLl ii: Profit by a Rensselaer citizen’s experience. - Charles Malchew, Harvey Street, Rensselaer, Ind., says: “Kidney complaint and backache kept me in misery for years. The attacks came on so frequently that it seemed as if I was never free from the trouble. The small rof my back was the part most affected but often the pain extended across through my shoulders and even into my neck. The kidney secretions annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and'proved that pay. kidneys were at fault Years ago I learned about Doan’s Kidney Pills and getting a supply at Fepdig’s Drug Store, I began their use. After taking a few doses, I knew that I had at last found the remedy I needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were disposed of. I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since then when having similar attacks and I never failed to get prompt and lasting relief. This remedy lives up to all claims made for it.” For sale by all dealers.
