A. S. Laßue, who has been managing the store at Greenfield which and brother traded for recently, was home over Sunday and Monday. He has been in Indianapolis several times recently and says that business there is at a standstill and that he hears reports from all over the state to the effect that business is generally very dull. Traveling men report sales backward. The very warm early fall has had the effect of* deferring purchases that come with the first cool weather. The agricultural sections have not suffered so much, owing to the good crops, of last year, and the very good prices that have prevailed, but the'inanufacturing centers are hard hit and unless the Europeari war has the effect of restoring fires in the furnaces the ensuing Winter will be a very severe one. Monogram Flour is guaranteed equal to any and better than most flours, regardless of price. We have plenty of old wheat flour in stock, $1.50 per sack. ROWLES & PARKER.

Two young men, who might be called tramps, were in Rensselaer Monday, looking lor work. They were brothers and came here after working for a short time in the harvest fields of North Dakota. They report conditions very bad there and say that they tried to find work in all the cities from there here but found thousands of men out of employment. The older one said; “Mister, I’m an Irishman and was raised to believe that the democratic party was the poor man’s partly. It is, that is if he wants lots of company in his poverty. I voted for Wilson, but God forgive me, if I ever get to vote again I’ll vote the republican ticket. I never imagined such distress as I have seen with my own eyes during the past three weeks. I don’t know your politics, Mister, but if you’re a democrat, change them and vote the republican ticket” The young men cavassed Rensselaer in an effort to secure work, but found nothing to do.
