Yes Indeed! The days of “Cheap and flimsy” goods are past. “Quality” is fast being .recognized; its the essence of economy. You recognize quality in buying dresses, suits, shoes, implements, etc., you know its the cheapest to pay more money for -better goods—they wear better,’ > look better and last longer. Are you one of the many who overlook this “Point of Quality” when buying the most important article in your wholehousehold—your cooking range, the mainspring to Health, Happinestrand Economy? Do you realize that most \eyerything that keeps you and 1 your family alive comes from your cooking range? The greatest outlay of money in your household is for food stuffs and fuel, and there, in your kitchen, lies the central and controlling ' fact in household economy.

O. & E. I. TRAIN CASE UP TODAY

Hearing at Wheatfield and Many People Subpoenaed to Testify * of Train Need. % Two years ago on Nov, Ist, there was installed on the C. & E. I. railroad between LaCrosse and Goodland a passenger train, the firert one the road had run for many years. _Bt Was installed as the result of a petition signed by people all along the line, the movement having been started by the Wheatfield Improvement Association, of which John Bowie was the president. On account of Mr. Bowie’s activity the train, was named the Bowie Special. Since it was instalk'd there have been several efforts on- the part of the road to have the order which required it annulled, the claim being made that it runs at a loss. The C. & E. I. railroad is in the hands of a receiver and the receivers -have applied to the public service commission to be allowed to take the train Off. Mr. Bowie and the Wheatfield Improvement Association at once got busy and many- subpoenaes were issued requiring persons in Rensselaer, Goodland and along the road to attend: Two or three auto lOads made the trip from here. • The value of the train as a public utility is without question. Tt>. is the only road running through Foresnian, Mt. Ayr, Kniman and Virgie and is the only road • tjhat can be used by the people of Wheatfield in m'aking a round trip to Rensselaer in one day. It is said that the road was partly built by 'subsidies secured from the country. through whidh it passes and the land oiwhers having been assessed for its construction should be entitled to the convenience of at leaak one passenger train a day. John Wingate, of Wingate, for some years a state tax commissioner, who is now employed by the C. & E. 1. railroad to look after its tax interests, was the guest overnight of Rev. C. W. Postill, and went to Wheatfield this morning to testify on behalf of the railroad. Fresh ground new corn meal and buckwheat flour Ask your grocer or phone the mill, 456.

• There is as much difference between cheqp and quality ranges as there is between cotton and silk. Women who are now using or who haveever examined the Great Majestic Range no longer believes “justaiiy” range will do. The Great Majestic, “The Range, with a Reputation,” is the standard all over the United States, (in fact its sold in all parts of the world); its built on honor, of malleable and charcoal iron. Malleable iron cannot break; charcoal iron resists rust 300 per cent greater than steel-' it’s cold rivited throughout and practically air tight—lined with pure asbestos board. It bakes perfectly, heats an abundance of water, quickly and hot; uses very little fuel, is easy to keep clean, cost practically nothing for repairs, and properly handled , lasts a lifetime. Be ducriminating, Know why the Majestic is so highly recommended by every user. Let the factory representative show you the range from top to bottom, inside and outside—he will gladly do so if you will call during the demonstration. The information gained may serve you in the future.

ANDREW GRANGER MAKES STATEMENT

In Interview With Republican He Declares He Had No Thought of Autos Being Stolen. Andrew Granger, the .DeMotte Citizen who has received so much notoriety during the past tew days in respect to the alleged automobile “fence” which detectives said he was conducting, was a Rensselaer visitor Monday and the reporter for The Republican, met him at the depotin the afternoon as he was returning home.- Mr. Granger talked freely about the Charge made by the detectives and his story will dbubitless go .far toward relieving him of the charge of knowingly, receiving stolen property. ~ Mr. Granger stays that published reports that he had, received twenty automobiles is entirely "false. He said that all the auomobiles he received was five. He said that he had secured no two from the same person and not until he had purchased the fllfth daf did his suspicions become aroused. He says that he never owned the car which H. W. Marble bought and had nothing to do with the sale of it. A man whom he did not know, he says, came to DeMotte and wanted to sell the Overland but he said he could not pay the price asked 'and informed the man that he could not sell a Car of that quality there. The man later sold the car to Mr. Marble. He says that the same thing occurred .in rrespect to the Reo Car Which Konov&ky purchased. ’ . The .other cars he had were three Fords and a Cadillac, one of which was Sold to D. W. Waymire, of Rensselaer, one to a real estate dealer in Lafayette and the third to Peter Stanley, of Lowell. The Cadillac, he stays, was bought by him some time prior to the time ’Ogden T. MtdClurg claim's it Was stolen. He says that he bought the car for his own use and thought it was all right. The car which went to Lafayette Was returned to him and he gave Bian, to whom it had been traded, the same things back that he had received in the trade. He says that he still has the car awaiting,its owner. The Stanley car has been claimed but

Says Water Tank Needs Supports—What About It?

Messrs. Healey & Clark, Gentlemen: 'I wish you would give the honorable mayor and city council a little roasting about the stan'd-pipe at the water plant that carries the Water up into the tank. The supports to it were removed several months ago, and it has been wabbling about-, until it is ready to topple over at any time. The neighbors and some of the employes are getting alarmed about it. When passing ipy residence if you will look over there you will see its condition. Respectfully yours, JOHN R. VANATTA. Rensselaer, Ind., Nov. 13, 1914. - -- this week unloading another carload of fancy Michigan apples; 3 bushel barrels, $2 and $2.25 a barrel. 75c a basket. 20 and 25c a peck. JOHN EGER.

Mr. Wiayinire is still in possession of the car which Granger sold him. Cheever, the DeMotte blacksmith, also bought a car from the man .Who brought it.dowp/. The numbers were still on this car and it was identified by the owner. \ Anotiher car in the possession of Andy Wilson was a stolen car but Granger slays he did -not handle it and warned Mr. WUsonr that he believed the car Was “not right” and advised .him to tell the man who brought it that the only way he would take it would be to have him leave it there two or three weeks to see whether it Was claimed and if it Was he would have the right to return it. If it proved to be all right- the man could come back and get his money. The rrian accepted the terms and left, but never earne back. The owner, however, claimed the car. The cars Which A. B. Randle, Warren -Zellers and “Peck” O’Connell had were never in Andrew Granger’s possession, he says, and he knew nothing about them until he came to Rensselaer Monday. Andy claiiris that he has been made the victim of the thieves unwittingly and that he will be glad to do all he Can to locate the thieves.
