Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 7, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 January 1913 — Page 4 Advertisements Column 3 [ADVERTISEMENT]

The real sale is Lee's,, in the Odd Fellows block. W. J. Holmes has gone to Dowagiac, Mich., on a trip for Crouch & Son, the Lafayette importers. Mrs. J. P. Green telephoned to The Republican today to suggest that persons use salt on the sleetslick steps and sidewalks. A penny’s worth of salt might save a big doctor’s bill for setting a broken limb. A good suggestion. D. H. Yeoman, Amos Alter and Steve Comer are now at Santa Monica, Cal, where The Republican will be sent to Amos until further orders, thus permitting this absent trio to keep posted on the happenings at their old home. A Gary telegram to the Indianapolis Star recounts a number of accidents that have occurred there since the sleet storm began. Among others is mentioned the fracture of a leg by Mrs. Frank Meyer. It is thought here that it is the wife of ex-Postmaster Frank B. Meyer, although relatives here have received no word to that effect. J. 8. Stpll and wife and two children and his mother, Mrs. Lizzie Stoll, were in Rensselaer for some time this morning on their way to Fair Oaks, where Mr. Stoll has two sisters living, viz. Mrs. Simon Overholt and Mrs. Gideon Kaufmann. Mr. Stoll is an Omlshman. Nine years ago with a capital of >1,500 he went to Mylo, N. Dak., and there bought a quarter section of land for >1,900, going in debt for part of the purchase price and for some Improvements on the farm. Since then he has bought the other threequarters of the section, paying >3,500, >4,500 and >5,000 respectively. He has had but one crop failure since going there, that being last year. This year he marketed over 17,000 bushels of wheat, flax and barley. He is in the full-blood Percheron horse business and has been very prosperous. He states that Levi Miller, formerly of this county, located there two years ago and had a complete crop failure the first year but this year raised a big crop and is now doing splendidly.
