CANDIDATES SHOULD HAVE ALL THEIR DAILY BALLOTS IN INTIME '* ■ - ' ‘ - ■■■ ■' < '? > » TO BE PUBLISHED IN WEDNESDAY’S PUBLICATION, AS THAT WILL BE THE FINAL DATE TO GET THEM IN

Candidates Should get their daily ballots that appear in the paper in The Republican office in time to get them published in Wednesday’s issue, as they will not be any daily ballots in the paper after the Bth, and if any error should occur in any candidate's score it should be reported in time to appear in Thursday’s issue, as that*will be accepted as correct by the judges and no corrections will be made after that date, and if you wish to increase your vote in the paper you •will have to send in your, subscription votes. Every day in The Republican’s contest has been an opportunity to you. Every day until the end of the race is a Still greater oppor-

tunity. You do not have to make a field for a new and unknown article. You are not under the disadvantage of asking anyone to “try” it—there are few people with whom you will come in contact who do not know and appreciate Jasper county’s greatest paper. It is your work to make regular subscribers of occasional readers, to tell your friends that The Republican is good enough to read every day in the year. It means a bit of persuasion which you will not be called on to explain or regret and for which your friends will thank you later .on. Work with every ounce of energy and brain tissue you possess for the next week. The results depend on work, hard work, well planned, ambitious, steadfast work. There is no element of luck or chance in the contest. The rewards are .fixed in value and the rules of the contest are such as to safeguard your efforts. No one knows your standing and nothing except work will profit you at the last hour. Don’t lose sight of or give up a single "prospect”— one subscription may mean, the winning of the contest. The contest has just started. There is time for all who are named to get a big vote. There is time for others not yet named to start and win. -

Here are the prizes you can win. One Ford Touring Oar. One S3OO Upright Plano. One S2OO Building Lot. One $65 Domestic Sewing Machine. One $25 Gold Prize. One S2O Gold Watch.

31 ARE INDICTED FOR PRICE FIXING

Washington Food Price Boosters > Arraigned—Alleged to Have Used War as Pretext.

Washington, Sept. 4.—Thirty-one food dealers were indicted here today by a federal grand jury under the Sherman law on counts charging price fixing. It was the first big development in the investigation the, department of justice'is conducting at the direction of President Wilson, against f<sod dealers who are alleged to have seized upon the European war as a pretext to increase the cost of living. AIJL the indicted men are local product dealers or commission merchants. No nationally known person was indicted. At the department of justice it was said that government agents working in many states, for evidence of price fixing were expected to make reports the basis of other indictments. Attorney General Gregory has this to say: “Under conditions now existing throughout the world, capitalization of misfortune and oppression of our ojvn people by the arbitrary increase of the prices of foodstuffs are so peculiarly reprehensible that whenever conviction can be obtained the government will insist upon sentences of imprisonmentno fine or no civil remedy will be deemed adequate.”

Reserve Banks Open Within Six Weeks.

Washington, Sept. 4.—After an all day conference with clearing house delegates from many large cities the federal reserve board . has announced tonight it would proceed immediately with the organization of the twelve reserve banks provided for by the new currency system. Although predictions were lacking it is generally accepted that the system can be put in operation about October 1. The actual opening may be delayed but it was said that twelve banks would be ready for business within the next six weeks.

PALMER ELECTED GRAND ARMY CHIEF

G. A. R. Closes Firty-Eighth Encampment at Detroit With Election of Officers.

Detroit, Sept. 4.—Comrade David J. Pahner, of Washington, la., member of the Bth and 25th lowa regiments in the civil war, was this afternoon elected commander in Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic at the closing session of the 48th national encampment. Washington, D. C., was unanimously chosen for the encampment place next year. There were several candidates in the race for commander in chief but most of them withdrew at the last minute and Mr. Palmer had no serious opposition. Other officers elected were:

Senior vice commander, J. B. Griswold, Grand Rapids; junior vice, F. W. Conners, Dallas, Tex.; surgeon general, L. S. Pilcher, Brooklyn, N. Y.; and chaplain, Orville J. Nave, of California.

A.committee of past commanders was appointed to frame a congressional bill providing for the retention of all civil war veterans in pub lie employment, irrespective of their age. The resolution provided for the appointment of the committee and was received with much applause by the aged soldiers. Another opposed any change in the national flag.

Athletic Contest Lively; Big Audience Pleased.

The athletic tent was packed Friday night to see “Billy” Shober and William Polos wrestle. The event was preceded by a match between “Kid” Boss, of Columbia City, and Tommy Gessler, of Pittsburg. Ross handled Gessler without much trouble. Shober and Polos went into their match with lots of pep per. Polos was to throw Shober in 15 minutes but failed. In a later match Polos won a fall from Shober in 12 minutes. Tonight the program is for a preliminary, followed by a finish match between Shober and Polos, best two falls out of three. At a second performance it is probable that the winner .will wrestle Boss. It is a condition of . Manager Gause, of the carnival company, that no finish match shall be staged until the last night, because it takes up too much time. Tonight, however, the matches will be finished on the basis of two falls out of three.

Acute Indigestion.

“I was annoyed for.over a year by attacks of acute indigestion, followed by constipation,” writes Mrs. M. J. Gallagher, Geneva, N. Y. “I tried everything that whs recommended to me for this complaint but .nothing did me much good until about four months ago I saw Chamberlain’s Tablets advertised and procured a bottle of them from our druggist. I soon realized that I had gotten the right thing for they helped me at once. Since taking two bottles of them I can eat heartily without any bad effects.” Sold by all dealers. C

Burglars Made Visit to Monticello Thursday Night.

Monticello was visited by house burglars Thursday night, probably the same ones who operated here Monday night. The home of James Mcßeth was robbed- A gold watch and SSO was taken. Al Shorte lost a gold watcfc, and some other valtfables and some small change from the home of W. F. Brucker. The Journal says that some of the windows were so high from the ground •-as to indicate that there were several in the party of thieves. Suspicious looking people were in the town that day and they probably eonstfturted the burglar crowd.

GREEK WRESTLER IN BULGARIAN WAR

William Foies Toils an Interesting Story of His Experiences as a Soldier in Native Land. ,-fid

William Polos, the Greek wrestler, who has been here with the carnival company and who became well known here three years ago when he wrestled a number of well known grapplers, tells an interesting story of his experiences as a member of the Grecian army during the recent Turkish and Bulgarian wars. Polos was running a pooltoom at Terre Haute when the call came from his native tend to the Greeks in America to come back home. He left in company with thousands' of other Greeks on the first of November, 1912. He paid hie own passage, about SB4, and went over on the French liner, Rtoma, arriving in Athens on Nov. 15th. He hastened to his home 30 miles east of Athens, where he spent a half day with his mother. All the men between the ages of 16 and 47 had gone from his home to take part in the war and moat of them were serving in the Servian division of the Greek army. He became a member of the fourth company' of the fifth regiment of the central division and engaged for six months in the siege of a Turkish city. The weather was cold and most of the time it was muddy and there was a great amount of suffering. For six days they had no food and after that they were meagerly fed. They were at first paid 15 cents a day, but later this was cut down to 5 cents a day. Polos had taken $l,lOO of American money home with him and was able to buy himself some food outside of the rations allowed. He had taken SIOO into the field with him and was quite a plutocrat with so much wealth. Finally the war came to a close but the Bulgarian war started right away and Polos had enlisted for two years and was rushed into Bulgaria. Summer came on and conditio ite were bet- j ter, but often the rations were short. There was an abundance of fruit, however, and with his money he could purchase apples, peaches, grapes, etc., and he got along very well. He was in a number of engagements and in one battle 8,000 lives were sacrificed. The Grecians carry their equipment on their backs and on one occasion Polos was creeping up to the crest of a hill when a bullet struck the pack on his back. On another occasion one went through 'the tail of his overcoat. His “pal,” also a Greek, who had been in America, was killed while at his side. Polos never received a scratch and was never ’ sick-. Finally at the close of the war he wanted to be released from his enlistment but he had to pay 500 francs, which is about SIOO in our money, for his release. He had served almost 18 months. He went to Borne, thence to Paris and thence to London and from there -to New York, where he arrived about May Ist. » Pblos is a jolly fellow and he reports that he had a great experience and a fine time in the\army. He was given the rank pf corporal in the Greek army and was offered further advancement but refused to be made a sergeant because the sergeants there are not allowed to associate with the private soldiers. Polos talks very brokenly and has difficulty in applying American army terms to the terms used in his native country.
