High School football Team Met Defeat in first Game.

The Rensselaer high school football team met defeat at 'Morocco Saturday’ by the score of 20 to 0. It was the first game of the year and the boys were greatly disappointed at their defeat. They were*not discouraged, however, and hope to retrieve the victory When the Newton county lads return the game here on Oct. 24th. The Rensselaer lads say that the Morocco players averaged 10 pounds to the roan heavier than they. The rainy day made the trip there a disagreeable one and the autobus broke down on the return trip, causing considerable delay. Morocco gave the team and visitors the finest kind of treat ment.

TWO NEW FORDS—COUPELET AND SEDAN

...... ' j • In January last the Ford Motor Company announced the amazing $10,000,000 profit-sharing plan for Ford employees, -in August came the announcement of a further extension of that profitsharing to Ford retail purchasers, providing 300,000 Fords are sold between August Ist, 1914, and August Ist, 1915. Now comes still another signiflthe announcement of the Ford Motor Company—the third within a period of nine months. This is the announceent of the Ford “Couelet” and the new Ford “Sedan” Both these new bodies are built, of course, upon the world-famous Ford chassis which is already serving 600,000 Ford owners. Both the “Coupelet” and “Sedan” are cars de luxe* - _ The top of the “Coupelet” is of genuine handbuffed leather and it has beautiful lines, graceful curves and well-balanced proportions. The scat is broad and wide and the deep upholstery and splendid bal' : ance of the car make “Coupelet”lidlng most ’uxurious. The price of the “Ooupelei,” fully equipped f. o. b. Detroit, is $750. The new Ford “Sedan” is an ele,gant five-jirissenger ear. This sumptuous body, too, is built on the famous Fold standard chassis. The right-hand front seat folds back out of the way when not in usd. The windshield of triple ventilating type is especially designed to protect the driver against the elements and still gives p'erfect ventilation. It is claimed that for 1 all-around luxury, strength, family comfort, durability and economy of operation this new Ford “Sedan” has no equal. The price the “Sedan” is $975, fully equipped, f. o. b. Detroit. The buyers of the “Coupelet” and the “Sedan,” too, will participate in the profit-sharing—provided the Ford Motor Company sells 300,000 cars at retail between August, 1914, and August, 1915. This is virtually already an accomplished fact, so tremendous have been Ford sales since the August announcement of the nSw prices.—Adv.

Letter Written By U. S. Senator Beveridge to State Senator Wood

■ * Indianapolis, Ind. July 2, 1910. Dear Will: I congratulate you upon your nomination for senator from Tippet canoe and Benton counties. I do not recall such a record of continued expression of confidence by the people in selecting a man term after term to represent them in the legislature as your case affords. It is a notable tribute-to your strength and popularity. Of course you will be elected, and by a majority which I think will surprise even you. I have been going over our reports from all over the state for past week, and find them beyond all expectations and hopes. We will'carry this county by a safe majority. We shall also gain several congressional districts. I wish that it were possible for me to have a long talk with you before I leave for a little rest, but I guess that it is out of the question for I leave for Anderson Monday morning to speak there, and am then going east to join Mrs. Beveridge and the babies. Do keep in touch with me. I want your ideas and council. Whatever I can do to swell the majority that you are going to receive, it will give me happiness to do. * - , V r Please reriiember me to Mrs. Wood. With kindnest regards and very best wishes, I* am, Faithfully, Albert J. Beveridge.

In 1910 Albert J. Beveridge was the candidate of the republican party for United States senator. Will R. Wood was nominated for state senator. He had voted for Senator Beveridge and was to do so again. Beveridge knew this arid wrote this extremely natroni?ing letter to him. Last week when Beveridge spoke in Rensselaer he referred to “that man Wood,” and as he did so he turned up his nose

THEY ALL DEMAND IT

Rensselaer, Like Every City and Town in the Union, Receives It. ■ l . • ' > People with kidney Ills want to be cured. When one suffers the tortures of an aching back, relief is eagerly sought for. There are many remedies today that relieve, but not permanently. Doan’s Kidney Pills have brought lasting results to thousands. Here is proof of merit from this vicinity. Mrs. Mary E. Warshcr, S. James St., Goodland, Ind., says: “I was taken with an acute attack of kidney trouble and distressing pains across the small of my back. I had but little ambition, and the least "exertion tired me. .1 was nervous and In the morning when I first got up, I felt no more rested than when I went to bed. The statements I read about Doan’s Kidney Pills so convinced me that I finally began using them. I never took another medicine that gave such prompt relief. Two boxes completely cured the attack imi I had no further trouble tor some time. Then I at once used Doan’s Kidney Pills and they again brought relief.” Prlee 50c, at all dealers.

and assumed a very superior air, but he could not say a word against him. The fact is, that U. S. Senator Beveridge and State Senator Wood had long been friends and the letter which the former sent to the latter began “Dear Will.” It is very unbecoming of Beveridge now to try to say derogatory things of his old friend. It is a ease of rank ingratitude and none will Approve it.

FURTHER EXPOSURE OF HOMER L. COOK

Wrote Letter to School Book Man Asking Proposition If His Book Could Be Adopted. L. Cook, speaker of the house of representatives during the last general assembly and present democratic candidate for secretary of state, now has another and very serious matter to explain to the people of .Indiana whose votes he wishes to procure. On March 20th, 1913, while the general assembly -was in session and while Cook was the -speaker he wrote the following letter on the official stationery of the house: •Mr. J. H. Woodruff, San Diego, Cal. My dear Mr. Woodruff, I called at your home here in the city this afternoon and found that you were in California. “I am interested in the adoption of the copy books for Indiana next year and am wanting to know what kind of a proposition you would ■make to a company that would take your copy book and try to get its adoption. “Please write me stating just what you will do. I would expect you to come here and help in the work of getting the adoption. Please keep this matter confidential as I do not wish to he known publicly in the affair. “An early reply will he appreciated. „ ' v ‘^Sincerely, “HOMER L. COOK” To all appearances Cook expected to use his influence as a member of the legislature to secure the adoption of copy books for the schools of the state of Indiana, provided the right sort of “proposition” was made. It is said a contract to supply the books would he worth about $50,000 to the concern furnishing them and Cook seems to have been willing to push the adoption if he could get a good thing out of it., It fs just such men as Cook who are the undesirables in politics. Whenever one is exposed he should be denied the votes of decent, honest people, and there is now not a single reason why any person iri Jasper county Should vote for Homer L. Cook. It is not improbable that the democrats of Indiana will insist on his removal from the ticket. They will doubtless do so unless Tom Taggart and his crowd demand that he remain. If he remains he should be hurled s in an avalanche of votes, thus warding all parties that graft will not be tolerated.

TWO GOOD MEETINGS , BY WILL R WOOD

Hurriedly Arranged Meeting in Oourt House Saturday and New-, land Speech at Night, Senator Will R. Wood, of Lafayette, republican candidate for representative of tne tenth congressional district, held two good meetings in Jasper county Saturday. Owing to the rain of Friday evening the McCoysburg speech that evening was cancelled. Bills were printed Saturday morning and a meeting held in the court house Saturday afternoon. About two hundred voters gathered to hear Mr. Wood discriss the issues of the campaign and he did so in a very thorough manner. He devoted a considerable part of his speech to a discussion of the tariff and his argument was convincing that the American farmer and manufacturer can not prosper when the things they produce are brought into competition with the same things grown or manufactured in countries where the wages paid are less than half and in many eases less than one-fourth that paid to the American working classes. He discussed the effect of the latest democratic tariff on American industries, telling of the American factories that had been closed, of the thousands of men thrown out of employment, of the advantage secured by foreign countries and the fact that the tariff had failed utterly to reduce the cost of living, because the importers have taken advantage of the people and kept the prices up. Senator Wood stated that had it not been for the European war the prices of grain would far below the prices that were paid during the past two moftths. He discussed briefly the condition of state affairs, the fact that new and expensive commissions have been formed, salaries of officials increased, state tax levy raised to meet expenses and then the state has been compelled to borrow money to meet the running expenses. Senator Wood proved beyond a doubt that he measures up in every way to the position he seeks and his hearers were pleased with his speech and feel certain that they will have just cause for pride in the man who is to represent them in the national congress as the successor of John B. Peterson. During his speech Senator Wood read a letter, which Senator Beveridge had written him during the summer of 1910, and which is else where published. Saturday night Senator Wood spoke at Newland to one of the best meetings he has held in the district. There were £ large number of voters out and his speech was a splendid one. There are 97 more voters registered in East Barkley precinct this year fchan«two years ago and this resulted from the onion and truck farm boom at Newland. The people Who came in are intelligent, high-class citizens, interested in the affairs of the nation and state, and they gave rousing endorsement to the speech of Senator Wood. W. L. Wood, candidate for joint representative of White and Jasper counties, also spoke for about 15 minutes, and proved that he is alive to the interests of the state and his district. Senator Wood’s visit to Jasper county proved one of the most inspiring of the present campaign and doubtless resulted in securing many votes for him and the entire republican ticket.

Obituary of Mrs. J. P. Green.

Mrs. Marilla Carr Green was horn at Derby, Erie county, New York. Sept. 8,1849, and died in Rensselaer, Indiana, on October 8, 1914, aged 65 years 1 month and 5 days. She was the sixth ehild of nine children born to Riley and Clarinda Carr, and a d‘iect descendent of Caleb Carr, one of the early governors of Massasnusetts. When she was ten years of age her parents with their family removed to Michigan, where they resided until,, her father’s death about ten years later. After her father died she made her home chiefly with her youngest sister. In her childhood she was converted and united with the Free Will Baptist church. When her brother, Noitnan Carr, became a minister in the regular Baptist church, she united with it also and has remained a consistent member of that body all her life. Mrs. Green received her academic training at Mrs. Sh rimer’s school Jot girls in Wisconsin tnd later attended the Baptist Training School at Chicago. She then engaged in home missionary work among the negroes of the south. In this work she was associated with Miss Johanna P. Moore. She returned from the south to her sisters home in llinois. There she met and on July 2, 1889, married Rev. Joel P Green, at that time pastor of the Baptist church at Somonauk, 111. One son, Joel Carr Green, was born to them. While an .infant, this son suffered a severe illne«-> from which he never recovered and during the 17 years of his life his care was the chief concern of his mother. During these years of constant nursing and anxiety, she not only did 'her work hut met all of the obligations that came to her as a minister’s wife. She served as president of various women’s societies of the churches of which her huband was pastor, organized the children into classes and taught them, and wrote articles for certain periodicals. She was especially interested in missions and besides supporting the regular missionary enterprises of the church, through her own effort, furnished half the support of a native missionary in China. While Rev. Green was pastor at Muncie, Ind., Mrs. Green joined the Eastern Star and sFnee moving to Rensselaer she beeame a member of the G- A. R. and of the Woman’s Relief Corps. She enjoyed her fellowship in all of these orders. Three adopted children were reared in this home, Nancy Helen Boone Green, who died in 1906; Belle Boone Green Hopkins, who, with her family, is living in Kearney, Neb, and Howard Green, who Is still with them. In 1910 Rev. and Mrs. Green moved to Rensselaer to take charge of the Baptist church of this city. Of their life in this community no eulogy need be spoken, for the conk munity has expressed its appreciation in the quiek sympathy which it has sought to make felt during the long illness which resulted in her death. She took to her bed Feb. 1, 1914, with an illness whieb taxed her body and mind beyond endurance and on Oct. 8, 1914, relief came in death. She leaves to rejoice in the memory of her life among them, her ’husband, Joel P. Green, two adopted children, four grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. Helen Herrick, of Shelby, Mich.; Mrs. Mittie Rishel, of Emporia, Kans.; and a brother, Martin R. Carr, of Whitehall, Mich., besides many other relatives and friends who have been privileged to know her. Mrs. Green was naturally reticent and to only a few has it been given to know the richness of her nature, her faith, her courage, her deep convictions, her generosity. To her acquaintances it may seem that into her life came an undue amount of sorrow, a too heavy burden, but accompanying the sorrow and the burden bearing was the joy of service and the faith that did not mistake the end.—Contributed.
