Frank was raised in Rensselaer and was always a democrat until siezed with the bull moose fever two years ago. We can’t help but think what a good joke it is on him that he supported democrats for the presidency for twenty years or thereabouts and then left the party when the most progressive democrat the party has ever uncovered was its candidate. Frank, however, is going it strong in the progressive cause and is a big factor in the party in Lake county. Order your Calling Cards at The Republican office.

The building contained 1,400 bushels of corn, corn planter, tractor engine and perhaps some smaller tools and implements. The fact that he was sheriff saved William Dowlings bacon in Good land the other day.

He. had recently taken the whisky cure, but had lapsed, and growing despondent, decided to end it all. The fatal potion was swallowed in the presence of a sister, who was rend ered frantic with grief. A friend once asked Joseph Fels, the millionaire soap manufacturer, why he spent such large sums in advertising, and Fels answered with a request for the friend to name three modern scouring soaps. The man could get no farther than the one manufactured by Fels. “You prove that I advertise to keep in the public eye and the public mind, said the manufacturer. Millions have been sepnt, and other millions are being spent today to keep certain manufactured articles in the public eye, and the practically uniform success of such advertisers, with their accumulation of wealth, proves that their advertising appropriations are a wise investment. How anybody ever believed we could fill our country up with Australian wool, Argentine corn, Canadian wheat, flour, oats and hay, and products Of European factories without hurting American farmers and American business, is more than we can understand, yet this is what the people voted for last fall Well, President Wilson and his democratic congress have given us genuine revision downward, just what the people clamored for, and now that they have it, what are they going to do about it? Not one particle of benefit has come to the people from downward revision, but a whole lot of harm. And we are all hoping the harm will not grow moi# serious.—Waukon (la.) Standard.

MOROCCO.

From The Courier. Mary Z nn Corn was born in Dubois county, Ind., in 1834, and departed this life at her home in. Morocco, Ind., April 9, 1914, aged 80 years. In 1859 she was united in marriage ! to Jonathan Bell, to wh&h union were born eight children, two girls and six boys. Three of them have preceded the mother in death. D. Jame Kay entertained the Misses Opal Carpenter and Ruth Law and Geo. Etzler at 6 o’clock dinner Sunday in honor of Miss Opal’s birthday.

A leaded glass window was put in the dining room, partitions changed, hardwood floors laid and a large porch erected where the old one was torn down. It will add greatly to the appearance and comfort of his home. A D. Swain, who has been confined to the house for ten days with some infection of the scalp, was down town the first of the week. He will be able to commence work as rural carrier next week. So ifaras we are'informed the time for the different county conventions has not been set, It matters not to the democratic party whether an early or late convention is held for it is expected that only one new man will be brought out, that one for the office of recorder. If Brook has a man who will run as well there as Moses Sawy.er, deceased, did for sheriff, she will be expected to name the man for this office. It will be up to Newton county to present a candidate for the democratic judgeship and Jasper is to put up a candidate for prosecutor. Our candidate for judge will be either T. B. Cunningham, Wm. Darroch or Frank* Davis.
