New Canning Industry in Washington Causes Hibernation.

Fairmont, Wash., Nov. 28, 1913. By M. L. Pass, Staff Correspondent. Special to The Rensselaer Republican. History repeats itself and with a vengeance, too, sometimes. The years 1896 to 1899, inclusive, I spent in Grundy county, lowa. In 1897 occurred the inauguration of the lamented McKinley and almost immediately various democrats invented (?) a very cute joke. It ran like this: “Well,” some dem would say, “we are going to have a new canning factory in our little burg under this, new administration.” Of the uhinitiated would ask: “What /do you expect to can this time of year?” . With a big haw, haw, they would answer! “We have to can up this republican prosperity, it’s getting stale.” Well, canning factories*and other factories did start and they kept on going. All over the land They canned, canned, canned To beat the band. And now we are in the very same condition which they said would occur, but their promises at that time were false, as we well remember. Prosperity here in Washington fcegan to assume a long green aspect last July when the logging camps and sawmill camps began shutting down, and by Oct. 20th all the shingle mills were down and out indefinitely. The “canning” factory had started here and in droves the workers were canned, canned, canned. What are the workers doing? Why, hibernating, of course, waiting for financial legislation, trust legislation and for the well hidden virtues of the recent tariff bill to assert 'themselves. Since all there is to do in Washington is to hibernate, here goes. ■'Good night, wake me up in the spring.”

Dr. Hobson's Ointment Heals the Itchy Ecsema. The constantly Itching, burning sensation and other disagreeable forms of eczema, tetter, salt rheum and skin eruptions promptly cured by Dr. Hobson’s Eczema Ointment. Geo. W.

PRINCESS GIVING BEST 1 SHOW OF THE SEASON

Vaudeville This Week in Addition to Regular Pictures—A Quarter Show for a Dime. ‘The Princess is giving a great big 25 cent show this week for a dime. The house, was packed at both performances last night, when Kathryn Hawthorne and Clinton P. Perry 'made th&r first appearance before a Rensselaer audienca They gave their specialty acts between each picture and took the house by storm. Miss Hawthorne on the saxophone is very fine, and Mr. Perry in his rendition of “The Shooting of Dan (McGrew” took the house by storm.. Their concluding skit, “The Taming of a Husband,” made an especial hit with those in the audience who had had simliar experiences and the house was convulsed with laiughter. Tonight in addition to the regular program of pictuers will be an, entire change of vaudeville “The Suffragette” and an illustrated song, saxophone selections, and a recitation will constitute part of the program tonight. This show would he cheap at a quarter but 10 cents is all it costs to see it.

Max Kepner to Manage Garage in Kurrie Building.

Max Kepner, for four years connected with the Rensselaer Garage, has purchased a half interest with Pij3«ah Thompson and Wood Spitler in the former Willis Garage in the Kurrie building, Messrs. Spitler and Thompson each haying a quarter interest. Mr. Kepner has taken charge and a number of cars are already stored in the garage. The new proprietors purchased of Mr. Harris, father-in-law of Willis, the Bowser gasoline system, but nothing else, and Mr. Harris has shipped everything else to Springfield, Ohio. The proprietors will go to Chicago and make some purchases at this time, principally compressors and supplies, but they do not expect to employ a machinist before spring, at which time they contemplate the installation of modern machinery. An office will he built in the front and plans made for an extensive business, which they will no doubt enjoy. They have decided to call the business the Central Garage, which is very appropriate from the standpoint of its location.

Notice of Election. There will be an election of Gr A. R. officers for the ensuing year next Saturday at* 2 p. m. A full turnout is requested. D. H. YEOMAN, Oommaiider. W. H. WOOD, Adjutant.

JAKE SMITH IS IN COUNTY JAIL

.Man Suspected By W. L. Wood of Having Been Implicated in Robbery Was Arrested. W. L. Wood, of Pafr, was sworn in as a deputy sheriff Monday and after making an affidavit charging Jake Smith with being implicated in the Parr robberies of last Priday night, went to Smith’s place of abode near Roselawn and placed him under arrest. Smith was brought to Rensselaer by Mr. Wood and lodged in jail. He processed his- iUnocence and has not been a preliminary hearing so far. Nothing was found at his place of abode nor on his person that contributed fib the circumstantial evidence of his guilt and it is quite jjrObable that it. will be very difficult to show that he had anything to do with the job. He is reported to have told Mr. Wood that he knew who the robbers were but did dare to tell on them for fear they would kill him. Some two years ago Smith went to Wood’s house one Sunday and got a check cashed. Mr. Wood found out that it was a forged check and caused Smith’s arrest. Smith escaped punishment because the check was dated on Sunday.

“The Only Son.”

“The Only Son,” a new play by Winchell Smith which comes to the Ellis Theatre tonight will prove a rare treat to Rensselaer theatre goers. Winchell Smith is the author of many Cohen & Harris successes as “The Fortune Hunter,” and “Brewster’s .Millions.” Last season “The Only Son” ran at the Gayety Theatre in New York city with Thottitfs W Ross in the title role. This season the part of Thomas Brainard, Jr., is played by Mr. Richard Kent, a popular young American actor. , Mr. Kent has received much praise for his work as Brainard, Jr., “The Only Son,”

1,000 Tons of Beef in One Day From Argentina.

As to whether or not the removal of the tariff on meat will affect the price of cattle in the U. 8. can be judged from the shipments of foreign raised beef and beef products. A dispatch from New York on Dec. Ist states that the steamer Zinal from Buenos Aires and other Bouth American ports brought Into New York 1,000 tons of Argentine beef in refrigerators. C. H. Tryon recently received a paper from Watertown, N. Y., which told of immense shipment of Canadian cattle to the United States. If this can be done without lowering tlie price of home grown beef it beats us.

Match IHVho Gan Twenty years ago a gentleman in Rensselaer took out a Three Thou* and 20 payment life policy in the Northwestern Mutual Herewith I give the settlement of this jkriiey this week: Earnings $706.13 Cash Value *1,445.73 Total Cash f 2.151.86 Premium $90.36 for twenty years, $1,807.20. This gentleman had $3,000 protection for twenty years, and <the grand old Northwestern Mutual paid him back $344.66 more than it cost him, or almost AVa per cent on his money invested. I have other instances equally good of settlements in this county recently made. If you warft life insurance you are entitled to the best, and the Northwestern has demonstrated time and again that it is the best company for the policy holder. A policy on your life would be the finest present you could give your wife. I defy &ty*eompany anywhere to show the above result. This happened at home and right now. Do results actually shown appeal more than the wind of the agent? Remember, this company pays more dividends than any company, and every polley holder la a booster. If you’re In the Northwestern you are glad to say so. “It’s right if I write it” * ARTHUR TUTEUR, District Aged
