He sets a day on which he will be at Rensselaer, and advertises his coming in advance In The Rensselaer Republican, so that practically every one in Jasper county will know the farm is for sale, together with the essential details concerning if. t Furthermore, by advertising several days in advance of his coming, Mr. Stewart gives «.ny one interested ample time to go to the farm and see it, ask about its value, etc, so that a man who is looking for such a farm can easily decide what sort of offer-he is welling to make. Mr. Stewart’s plan is to come to the Hotel Makeover on Monday, Deceiver 21, and be here ah day to meet such as may be interested.

You Can Depend on Ford Cars.

Touring 2,600 miles in Texas without onlce going into a'garage, and at a total cost of $45.00 for gasoline, oil and one extra casing, is the achievement of Mr. C. L. Green, of Prescott, Ark, in a Ford touring car. ’And during the entire trip neither a spark plug nor the carburetor were touched. Mr. Green reports also, that after this tour, with the exception of a few scratches on the body and the tarnished brass the Ford car was in as good condition as it was when he started. Mr. Green closes his, voluntary report to the Ford Motor Company with this statement: “i believe I can start out with my Ford eigainst any fellow in any high priced car on the market and make better time through mud and sand hills and rocks, and then come out with l better car; with half the expense that the other fellow pays."

MILROY.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 16, 1914.

Editor Vanßuskirk Selk The Monticello Herald J. B. Van Buskirk, for many years the owner and editor of The Monticello Herald, has contracted the sale of the paper to Chas. 8. Preston, dlerk of White county, who will, it is understood, take charge of the paper the first of January. Mr. Preston has assisted Brother Van Buskirk on several occasions and a taste of journalism has proven so pleasing that he has decided to get into the business on all fours, He shows splendid journalist tie style and should continue the paper at the high mark of excellence Editor Van Buskirk has always maintained. It is with regret that we chronicle the decision of Mr. Van Buskirk to withdraw from the newspaper business. He has eonducted a paper that has been a splendid factor in White county, giving aid to everything for the good of the town and county and always standing for right against wrong in the most fearless manner. The paper and its editor were looked up to by all of the newspapers of the district and furnished many of the younger newspaper men a guide in their efforts. It is certainly hoped that Brother Van Buskirk may live for ffiiany years and enjoy the fruits of his well spent and energetic journalistic life.

J. W. Coen Honor Guest at Banquet

J. W. Coen, team master of the Rebekah drill team, was the guest of honor at a banquet given by the members of the team Tuesday evening at the Qdd Fellows halll. The Rebekahs brought their husbands and Sweethearts and about sixty sat down to the banquet board that was groaning beneath a weight of fried chicken and other , things. The evening was spent playing games and listening to orchestra music Supplied by the Two Johns’ orchestra, John Healy and John Merritt. It had been planned to surprise Mt. Coen, but the cold weather caused John to cling so closely to his own fireside that he had to be told tlhe occasion before he would venture forth. But all enjoyed it just as much as though the surprise plan had worked out.

More Troops Sent to Mexican Border

In response to a request by Brig-adier-General Tasker H. Bites for additional troops to protect tliie international border line between uhe U. S. and Mexico at Naco, Ariz, the secretary of war has sent three additional regiments of infantry and some batteries of field artillery there and the Mexicans who 'continue to slhoot across the line may be compelled to cease doing so by more drastic measures than heretofore taken. The U. S. has taken the advice of Colonel Goethals and sent two warships to the Panlama canal to protect it, also, and will probably determine on some plan for better defense.

Ford Cars Going Lively.

In August, September and October, 1913, the Ford Motor Company sold 29,821 care. In the same month of 1914 Ford sales were 59,507 oars. This is an increase of approximately 109 per cent. November Ford sales promise to exceed ever this proportionate increase. These figures are Impressive enough. However, a still more signifleent and encouraging feature is the fact that this increase of Ford sales in 1914 over 1913 is general, the length and breadth of the country. Another very significant fact is this-that Ford sales have not shown any sensational jump any one week or month, but have steadily grown in volume and permanence day after day and week after week throughout the whole period of five monthsi An evidence that more and more the motor car is becoming a part in American life generally—it has ceased to be the pet of the classes to become the necessity of the masses.

Supreme Court Sustains Sentence For Cruelty

Lafayette Courier. The supreme court at Indianapolis has affirmed the finding of Judge DeHart of the circuit court in the case of the State vs. Wilbur Moore, charged 'with cruelty to animals. Mobre was found guilty in the. local circuit court last January and was fined SIOO and costs and given a jail sentence of 100 days. An appeal was taken at once. It was changed that Moore confined a horse in hisibarn for twelve or fourteen years and that proper care was not taken of the animal. Mr. Moore’s arrest followed an investigation by the humane society. About fifteen years, ago Moore’s father was killed in a runaway and it is claimed by the state that from the time of his death on, the two horses were kept imprisoned in the barn. It is said that one of the animals died while in confinement. The second horse, which was -rescued by the sheriff, was said to be in a pitiable condition. The case was one of the hardest fought contests ever tried in the circuit court and attracted much attention. Will R. Wood and others conducted the state’s case and Rochester Baird, D. P. Flanagan and Kumler & Gaylord appeared for the defense. A petition will be filed asking a ndw trial and if this is not granted Moore will be forced to serve his jail sentence.

Kankakee Marsh Land Case in Supreme Court.

Lafayette Courier. Oral argument in the case of the State of Indiana vs. the TueSbeng Land company will be heard in the supreme court at Indianapolis Thursday and Will R. Wood will represent the land company. The suit was tried twice in northern Indiana circuit courts and each time the land company won out Then the state took an appeal The Tuesberg company acquired the land, about 3,000 acres in the Kankakee bottoms, from the English Lake Land Co, for which Mr. Wood has long been legal adviser. The tract of land was originally much smaller, but as the water of the Kankakee receded the acreage increased. The state is now endeavoring to get possession of the land which was added to the company’s original tract by- the receding of the water, seeking to hold the company to the tract as originally described in the deed. The land company claims title to all the land and its contention is backed up by legal precedent..

Keeps Up the Ford Average.

California reports some very interesting figures in automobile sales for the five months ending October 31st. In that period 9,700 motor cars were sold in California. Of these 4,936 were Ford cars. In other words, twice as many Ford care—in this period—weie sold than all other motor care combined. And seven times as many Ford care were sold as the next best selfing car. This certainly indicates that In California, the word Ford has become synonymous with motoring. - Stetson and Kingsbury hats make a useful Xmas present for the men.
