The Balkan war has been resumed. The bombardment of Adrianople began at 7 o’clock Monday night,, and a small skirmish occurred at the Tchatalja lines. The armistice had lasted exactly two months. Remember the date of A B. Lowman’s sale, Feb. 7th; look over the bill or the list in The Republican and see if you don’t need something that he will sell - Chicago women who hammered down the price of eggs now are going to decrease the cost of apples. They summoned retailers and wholesalers, told them the plan, made them approve of it and announced next week, Friday and Saturday, as apple sales days. A plan providing for government or corporate guarantee of the safety of deposits in national banks will be embodied in the banking and currency reform bill that is to be presented to the house of representatives early in the administration of President Wilson. Miss Lena Fegen, of Carlos, Minn., who has been visiting her cousin, Mrs. Alfred Donnelly, since Saturday, went to Chicago today. Mis's Anna Rodermacher, of Chicago, a sister of Mrs. Donnelly, who came last Saturday, is remaining for a longer visit Mrs. P. W. Clarke went to Rockford, 111., today to get her daughter, Miss Mae, who has been attending college there, but who has been poorly since the Christmas vacation and is now in a hospital at that place. She will be compelled to give up her college work for the year. Fred Berger’s sale at his farm near Remington Tuesday was a good one, largely attended and big prices prevailing. He had some full blood draft mares that sold at prices ranging from S4OO to SSOO. Fred will live in Remington, having rented his farm to Nopoleon Sigo, son of Moses Sigo. The two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph King, residing on the Jay Hansford place, near Westville, pulled the teakettle from the stove and was badly scalded on the right arm and breast and neck, Thursday evening. While the burns are serious, they are not regarded as necessarily fatal. William Broadie, of Remington, and Charles Watson, Who lives southeast of that place, were in Rensselaer this doming enroute to Chicago to attend the auto show and to arrange for a carload shipment of Oakland automobiles, for which they will be the agents this year.

Although well attended, it is reported that the Babcock & Kurrie and Firman Thompson sale at Parr yesterday did not bring very big prices but that stock especially sold low. There seemed no accounting for the fact that the good prices which have generally prevailed this year did not maintain at this sale. Mallie Clark came down from Wheatfleld to buy one horse and when he found the stock selling cheap he bought nine horses and one mule.
