Some Fine Big Potatoes Grown in Jasper County.

Ainos Alter', of the Rose Bud fam? brought two big potatoes to The Republican office Saturday that are about as nice in looks and as large in size as we have e\ er seen. These two and two others of the same size Were all grown in one hill. The two weigh 3 pounds and 6 ounces. Assuming that there were six pounds in a hill, is woul4> only take ten hills for a bushel and jfche yield per acre would be enormous. The rain in late August and the early part of September had the effect of producing some fine late potatoes where it seemed the vines were almost dead, but the yield far exceeded the outlook. Potatoes are cheaper this year than they have been for some time, the retail price getting as low as 50 cents. Mr. and Mrs. All A Oatt returned last week from the home of their daughter, Mts. Frank Wood, and their son, Ed Oatt, on claims some 45 miles from Billings, Mont., and he brought back some fine potatoes raised on the Wood farm where dry ifiarming is followed, and some others a little larger raised on irrigated land. They prefer the dry land potatoes. Mr. Wood continues to hold his position as a clerk in Billings, and goes out to the .fanfi every Sunday. (Mrs. hVood •and Ed Catt have adjoining farms' but Ed has not broken his Hand yet, but helps to farm his sister’s land. Since they took their claims a railroad has run within a mile of their farm and there are stations 2% miles in one direction, and &/» in another. Every acre of land has been taken in that part of the country. Improved farms are held at SBS per acre and Mr. Oatt is convinced that his children have made a very fortunate selection. Mr. Oatt and wife were there almost four months and had a splendid time. Well, 'the campaign is about all over. Tomorrow ithe voting and the next day the joy and the headaches.

POSTAL SAVINGS PROVE POPULAR

Forty-Four Accounts in Rensselaer Show Total of $6,460 —Growth is Steadily Increasing. The war in Europe is proving a big boon to postal savings in this country. From the very day hostilities opened across the seas postal savings began to increase by leaps and bounds and withdrawals fell, off, a result quite contrary to the predictions of m'any well-in-formed persons who, in their imagination saw lines of. feverish depositors at postoffice windows anxious to again return their savings to the boot-leg and body-belt depositories whence they came before entrusted to Uncle Sam. But the forecasters failed to reckon on the absolute confidence of the American citizen, regardless of the flag that first met his eyes, in the ability and purpose at the government to carry out its obligations, not only among the nations of the earth, but with the humblest citizens of our land. ( Two important results have followed: thousands of people, largely of foreign birth,- accustomed to send their savings'abroad, are now patrons of our postal-savings system; and enormous sums of actual Cash have been released for commercial uses among our own people at a time when the need for every available dollar is pressing. The growth of postal <savings in the United States has been steady and healthy and the system has filled an important gap between the tinman depository and the factory paymaster. On July 1, when affairs were running smbothly here and abroad and the transmission of money across the Atlantic , was safe and expeditious, there was approximately $43,000,000 of postal savings standing to the credit of about 388,000 depositors. Since then over $10,000,000 of deposits have been added and number of depositors has increased enormously This unprecederited gain is the more striking when it is considered that the net gain in the last three months is larger than the gain for the entire fiscal year 1914. The increases are confined to no special localities, but have been felt in every nook and corner of the country. ( New York City alone made a gain*in September of more than a million, while Brooklyn showed a relatively bi& increase. Chicago reported a larger gain in the past three months than for the previous twelve months. The unexpected increase in postak«avings business has not only added greatly to the general administrative duties of the system, but has brought up many new and interesting problems which have called for the careful personal consideration of Postmaster General Burleson and Governor Dockery, third assistant postmaster general. But their task has been lightened somewhat by the promptness of depository banks in furnishing additional security to meet the abnormal deposits. A nuirtber of tjre very largest banks in the Country, which have heretofore de clined to qualify as depositories for postabsavings funds, are now among the eager applicants for them. The growth of postal-savings at this office is Steadily increasing, and we now have forty-four accounts, the amount on deposit be Ing $5,460.

GREAT MASS OF PROOF

Reports of 30,000 Cases of Kidney Trouble, Some of Them Rensselaer Oases. Each of some 6,000 newspapers of the United States is publishing from week to week, names of people In its particular neighborhood, who have used and recommended Doan’s Kidney Pills for kidney backache, weak kidneys, bladder troubles and urinary disorders. This mass of proof includes’ over 80,000 recommendations. Rensselaer is no exception. Here is one of the Rensselaer eases: Mrs. Larkin Potts, Clark & Washington Sts., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “I was weak and nervous and had but little strength or ambition. I rested poorly and was subject to severe headaches and pains across my loins. I could hardly do my household work at times and I always felt tired and worn out. Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from Pendig’s Drug Store, gave me relief at once and before I had used them long, the aches and pains left I am grateful to Doan's Kidney Pills for what they have done for me.” ~ Price 50c, at all dealers.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1914.

WOULD YOU SUPPORT ANY MAN FOR OFFICE

If You Found Out That He Left a State and Changed His Name ' to Keep from Paying Alimony? This has been a very dean campaign. Probably the only questionable methods employed are those used by Herman C. Rogers, of Morocco, ■the nominee of the progressive party for judge of the circuit court. He has bought newspaper space to makechargies by innuendo and suggestion against Judge Hanley, the republican candidate, and William Darroch, the democratic candidate. He has alleged that .the court houses of the two counties are in the charge of a bi-partisan ring and are prostituted for corrupt purposes and that the square deal is not given out to people Who get into the courts.. Usually the mud Slinger has something in his own character that is being concealed and The Republican believes that the real character of every man should be known to the voters and that especially should a high standard of manhood and honor be demanded of the candidates for circuit judge. There has been a rumor afloat for a long time' that Herman C. Rogers, of Morodco, progressive candidate for judge, had deserted a wife and child in Ohio. The Republican today decided to find out what it could about this in order to let its readers know what manner of man it is who is assailing so bitterly Judge Hanley and William Darroch. In the Indiana Appellate Court Reports, Volume 46, page\so6, case No. 6,396, is a case entitled Rogers v. Rogers. It was appealed to the appellate court from the decision of Judge Hanley. Tne action is by Alta Rogers, of Ohio, against Carlon Rogers, alias Herman C. Rogers. The report recites the action in the court of Trumbull county, Ohio, where in granting Mrs. Rogers a divorce from Carlon Rogers the sum of $4 per week alimony had been given to her for the support of herself and child, she having been given the custody of her child. The record says: ‘The, sum of $4 a day 'to be by him paid in monthly installments, commencing on Felbniary 3, 1902, and continuing thereafter to become due and payable in the sum of $4 per week At the end of each month, until otherwise ordered by the court”

This judgment was against Carlon Rogers and was rendered in Humbolt county, Ohio. Rogers is to have disappeared and it was Some four years before he was located. He was then found at Morocco, Tpd., going by the name of Herman C. Rogers. He owed accumulated alimony in the sum of $832 for the support of his wife and child and she brought action alter he was located against Carlon Rogers, alias Herman C. Rogers. The Republican does not know what the allegations made by Mrs. Rogers in her complaint for divdrce were. But the charges were evidently sustained in his old home and the judgment giving his wife and child $4 per week indicates that the court' was fully satisfied that he was at fault and that his wife deserved alimony. The complaint can be procured and if, need (be, The Republican will be' glad to publish just what it alleges. \ A't the time the judgment was first rendered Rogers was not engaged in the practice of law. He later studied law in Indianapolis and located at Morocco. It is said that Charles FiTlius, former judge in Ohio, took deep interest in the case against Rogers and in behalf of his wife and that he personally did some detective work in locating Rogers and to Morocco and instigated the proceedings against >him to recover the alimony some four years due. The appellate court decided against Rogers and the judgment now stands against him in the Newton circuit court, although it is reported that some .sort of compromise was affected in the settlement of the amount due nd sued for in the Newton circuit count. i

Rogers made a petition for a rehearing in the appellate court but this was denied, showing conclusively that the court in his home county and .the appellate court of Indiana held that he had an obllgatibnto contribute to the support of his wife and child. Hib effort to avoid doing so Was hard fought and he employed as counse# Merrill' Moored Walter Myers, U. Z. Wiley and E. B. Sellers, but much eminent counsel was unable to relieve him of the legal as well as mortal obligation he owed to his

Rensselaer Militiamen Won Easily From Monticello Five.

The militia rifle team of five' members met the Monticello militia in a very interesting match on the Monticello range last Saturday. The Rensselaer team was composed of Lieutenant Garland, Sergeant Clark and Privates Marlin, Wynegtor and Bowsher. It had been expected to have Sergeant John Robinson and Private John Lyons, both expert riflemen, as members of the team, but both were unable to get away and Wynegjar and Bowsher were substituted and they felt the responsibility and fired excellent scores. In the slow firing at the 300, 500 and 600 yard ranges every man on the Rensselaer team defeated his firing opponent on the Monticello team. The result of these ranges follows: t 300 500 600 Total Marlin 41 46 33 120 Lawrie 31 29 20 80 Clark 42 47 48 137 Tharp „ 39 41 ,36 116 Bowsher 36 36 40 112 Arrick 29 31 27 87 Garland * 45 44 49 138 Bunnell 38 41 36 115 Wynegar 39 44 39 122 Van Deman 12 34 28 74 Mont fired at 300 yards instead of Van Deman. In the rapid fire Rensselaer also made the best scores but the firing was not completed, darkness making it necessary to stop firing. Sergeant Clark made the only high score 'at this, making 47 out of a possible fifty at 300 yards. The Monticello team was also short some of its better riflemen, but even their recognized best shot, Floyd Tharp, was unable to -hoot in any Way near his usual form and his total of 116 is far bellow what beds capable of shooting, been used all year, owing to the beet used all year, owing to the fact that the lease has expired, is soon to be used by Company M again, Messrs. Logan Wood and Firman Thlompsoil, on whose land the range is located, having agreed to terms for its rental. It is probable that there will be some firing yet this .flail and that a good per cent of the company will indulge in practice next year.

wife and child. U'sulally a man of the type that undertakes to avoid the Care of those who have a claim upon him, tries to justify his position by making false and scurrulous allegations against his wife. We are not sure that Mr. Rogers has done this, but the fact that the judgment of his own home, where such changes would doubtless have been given full consideration, made the judgment againdt him and in favor of his wife and that the appelate court of Indiana sustains the judgment, indicates fully that Rogers is entirely responsible and that he is not the type of man that should be a judge in. any court and we believe that he should not receive a vote from any decent minded person. The fact that he Was nominated on the progressive ticket should not cause the blame to be placed on that party. Those responsible for his nomination were probably ignorant of the facts here recited. But now that they are known there should be none in <the patty that nominated him that Will stand for him.

Rogers ks said to be possessed of a very bitter antagonism in the trial of all his eases and a number of local attorneys remember an occasion when he called Judge Hammond, of Lafayette; a liar during a itrial in the Jasper circuit Court, a number of years ago. That he Was not fined for contempt of court at that time was because of the leniency Of Judge Hanley, whom he ha»s so misrepresented during,, the pas tfew weeks. Judge Hanley has himself declined to pay enough attention to these charges to answer them or to.engage in a discussion of the kind waged by Rogers. This is greatly to his credit and The Republican only does so because there are generally some persons who might be influenced by the brazenly waged campaign of Carlon (Herman CJ Rogers. ( #
