Republicans Apt to Reach Subscribers One Day Late.

The change in the schedule of Monon trains is quite certain to make it impossible for many sub scribers to The Semi-Weekly Republican to get the paper on the date of publication, unless the carriers are required to await the arrival of the milk train at Parr, Pair Oaks, Thayer and Roselawn. While The Republican is printed on Monday and Thursday afternoons, it is impossible to get it in the postoffice, in time to catch the afternoon mails on those days. The papers will go to the postofflces named on the milk train Tuesday and Friday mornings, but this train is scheduled an hour - later than formerly and the papers will probably have to remain in the offices until the rural route deliveries on Wednesday and Saturday. It te a very unfortunate change, for persons residing on rural routes out of those towns will be unable to get any papers until more than a day lata

U. 8. Cavalry troops, stationed as a border patrol at Del Rio, Texas; Monday fired upon Mexican federals who were pursuing the constitutionalist soldiers as they crossed the Rio Grande to the United States and safety. Bullets from the federal rifles flew across the border and it is reported killed three of the U. S. cavalry horses. Captain Winterburn, of Troop E, Fourteenth cavalry, signaled to the federals to cease firing and when they failed to do so he ordered a detachment of fifteen U. S. soldiers to fire and a dharp fussilade lasted for fifteen minutes.« No Americans were hurt. It is not known how many Mexicans were killed or wounded. Washington authorities back the action of the troops, as the Mexicans have had sufficient warning that they must not fire so that their bullets can reach American soil

DON’T BUY RANGES OF THESE TRAVELERS

Rensselaer Merchants Will Sell You Better Ranges For Less Money— Investigate.

It will be to the interest of every farmer in this section of the country to read this article Solicitors are working through the country with cooking ranges and will try to sen you one Don't buy of them. - The Republican says “Don’t” because it knows that you can save money by buying from any one of the three hardware dealers in Rensselaer. You can save money if you buy of the hardware dealers in Remington, Francesville, Medaryville, Wheatfield, Mt. Ayr, Brook, MeCoysburg or any of the tpwns adjacent to your home. These travelers are at an expense far greater than the local merchant. They could not nearly meet the local merchant in competition. They do not pretend to meet him. They will ask you $73 cash for a range and will offer to sell it to you for $79 on time provided you can give a good note. The local dealers will sell you a stove which is better and sell it to you for SSB or S6O cash. E. D. Rhoades & Son sell the Malleable. Warner Bros, sell the Majestic and Cole’s Hot Blast C. W. Eger sells the Faultless Malleable

The prices of these stoves is SSB and S6O and they are superior to the ones there strangers are offering you for $73. In addition they have the guarantee of responsible local dealers who will treat you right.

Don’t buy from these travelers, but trade with the home merchants and thus contribute to the upbuilding of your own community as well as saving from sl3 to sls and getting superior ranges.

Argentine Corn is Better Than It Looks, Brother.

J. A. Coan brought back a sample of the Argentine corn that has been giving the farmers of this country such a scare this winter. You must see it to appreciate. But after seeing it you will think that you would have to be mighty hard up for corn to use any of it and would hate to try to find a market for it after producing it With the government making more stringent rules each year for the grading of corn it don’t look like this sample would find much of a home in our market. It may do to scare with but would be mighty poor truck to feed with.—Brook Reporter. Brother Foresman is right about the looks of Argentine corn. It is not very attractive in appearance, especially when compared with our native Indian corn, but its food value is found by analysis to exceed the value of our corn and that is the purpose for which corn is grown. Certainly Editor Foresman will not discredit the reports of the leading agricultural papers nor of the custom houses that there have been vast shipments of Argentine corn to the United States and he will hardly contend that this corn was shipped here for the purpose of “scaring" people. The truth is that the democratic congress has placed our farmers In competition with the farmers of foreign countries and that the effect has already been a marked depreciation in the price of the home product. In an article published in the current issue of the Brook Reporter from The Country Gentleman it is stated that a chemical analysis of twenty-four cargoes of Argentine corn, representing 4,000,000 bushels, show it to be better on its arrival at American ports than the American grain Just loaded for exportation.

It is a fact that com was higher in price during the early part of this year than it was a year ago, but it Is also a fact that the 1913 crop was 677,000,000 bushels short of the 1912 crop and 306,000,000 short of the average crop for five previous years. It is also a fact that Argentine Is planning to grow a much larger crop of com this year in view of the open American market and when it comes in at the rate of millions of bushels we hardly believe that many farmers and com growers are going to believe that it is being shipped in Just to “scare with.” Argentine cattle, Canadian wheat and oats and stock are vital issues affecting our agricultural prosperity and weexpect to see the farmers raise up in their might and demand a tariff protecting them be established. Naturally they will turn to the republican party, which was responsible for the prosperity of the* country from the election of William McKinley in 1896 at the time when the Wilson administration passed its new tariff measure. Wfc hope that Argentine com is only M “scare,” but we tear it la a great commercial fright that It will take more than a bluff ot the administration supporters to over- .

NEW OFFICERS FOR VAN RENSSELAER CLUB

Moses Leopold Chosen President, Don Beam Secretary and Arthur Tuteur Treasurer.

The Van Rensselaer Club held its semi-annual election last Sunday afternoon, re-electing the old board of directors, composed of C. G. Spit'ler, Moses Leopold, E. J. Randle, Rex Warner and C. W. Hanley. The board of directors then met and elected Mr. Leopold president, Don Beam secretary and C. Arthur Tuteur treasurer. C. E. Garver has served faithfully as secretary and F. E. Cox as treasuerr for a long time. The club is now out of debt and has some money in the treasury and plans for the future were discussed. It is not improbable that the club will purchase a building site with a view to erecting a club house at some future date. The active membership of the club is 43, and there are some nonresident or Inactive' members. It is quite probable that a number of new members will be taken in during the next few months.

Requiem Highmass Chanted at Funeral of Mrs. T. M. Callahan.

The funeral of Mrs. T. M. Callahan this morning was largely attended, many of the old neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Callahan in Barkley township being in attendance. The solemn requiem highmass was chanted by the (pastor of St. Augustine’s, Father Christian Daniel, assisted by Rev.* Arnold Weyman, as deacon, and Rev. Isadore Collins, as subdeacon. Others of the reverned clergy present were Father William Hordeman, of Frankfort, and Father Nicholas Greiwe. The college choir in charge of Rev. Justin Henkle, answered the responses and sang the mass. Mrs. Callahan was removed from this life when only 32 years of age. She had made many close friends during her life and there was general sorrow at her death. She was a victim of tuberculosis and had suffered a great deal during the past few months, but bore up with rare fortitude. The body was laid to rest in Mt. Calvary cemetery.

Body of Harley Brown Will Not Go to Anatomical Board.

T. W. Grant, after reading in The Republican that it was planed to send the body of parley Brown, the young man who fell from a train and died here last Saturday, to the state anatomical board at Bloomington, decided that he would do what he could to prevent this action and called up The Republican stating that he would provide burial place in a lot he owns at Weston cemetery and give $3 toward the burial expense. Suiting action to this decision he had a paper prepared and found many ready to help. Brown had serven an enlistment in the United States Marine Corps, and Mr. Grant said that he hoped never to see the body of a soldier receive anything but a ’decent burial.

Mr. Grant received subscriptions up to noon almost sufficient to guarantee the burial expense. This morning Undertaker Wright received a telephone message from Ladoga, Brown’s home, stating that some of his friends would come here from that city this afternoon and that they would probably arrange to have the body returned there for burial

PLAN ORGANIZATION FOR BITTER ROADS

Indianapolis to Chicago Road Proposed Via Remington, Rensselaer and Hammond. Indianapolis News. The Indiana Good Roads Association is putting on a campaign of education on the good roads question. G. E. Minor, who was formerly the state organizer for the National Highway Association and the National Old Trails Association, will be in charge of this work. Minor will, in addition to the educatonal work, conduct a campaign for members in the Good Roads Association. The plan is to perfect a state wide organization, with a local branch in each city and town in the state, each of which will have a president and secretary of Its own. The plan, as pursued in other states, was to use the local organizations for the distribution of literature and the dissemination of information on the roads question. Minor is an organizer of national repute and has had a large amount of experience in dealing with the good roads question. His office will be in the Indiana Good Roads Association office at 528 Meridian Life building. The main road to Chicago will be canvassed first, and he will build up the local organizations at Lebanon, Frankfort, Lafayette, Rensselaer, Remington, Crown Point and Hammond. From these local organizations the state association will be able to receive reports on road conditions and will be kept thoroughly in touch with everything pertaining to the good roads subject in the state of Indiana.
