Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 303, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 December 1914 — Ordering The Republican For Christmas Present. [ARTICLE]

Ordering The Republican For Christmas Present.

Several persons who have friends ,in distant places who formerly lived in Rensselaer or Jasper county have ordered The Republican sent to them for a Christmas present. It is not too late to do this yet and we will be glad to send the i paper on your reques. It is $1.50 per year for The Semi-Weekly Re- ; pulblican any place in he United States. To points in Canada it is $2.00 per year, the Tuesday and Friday papers being sent together to Canada. Don’t put this off, but have the year start with the issue of Friday, Dec. 25th. Walter Johnson, famous hunter of the Senators, Who recently hopped to the Federate has hopped I back again to organized ball. , Johnson was enticed to the Federate by ' an offer of $20,000 a season. W®sh- [ ington offered him $16,000, and the ■ big Kansan jumped to the outlaws. I Johnson was visited by attorneys lof the American - League and was I convinced that the reserve clause in his contract was binding and was persuaded to come back to ' the fold. Proxy Gilmore, of the Federate, has wired Johnson to come to Chicago and submit the contract to three disinterested lawyers. It te probable that Johnson will be out of the game most of the 1 coming season while hie case is being fought out in the courts in an effort to determine where the big hurler belongs. Johnson’s hop to the Feds threw a big scare into the ranks of O. B. and the success of the Feds seemed assured when they annexed such a big drawing cadr. O. B. was highly censured by the fans in allowing , a star of Johnson's caliber get away. If O. B. triumphs over the Feds in this case it will probably see the finish of the new organiaztion. Johnson receives a slight increase jn salary from the Senators. The Wabsington dub has pledged itself to stand behind Johnson in ..any legal fight that may arise. He has not returned the $6,000 advance money from the Feds yet. Lee Magee, who jumped the Cards -tor the Brooklyn Feds, has been signed for one year to manage them. Magee was ready to come back to organized ball unless given the management. The year just closed for Pursue athletics shows a balance in the treasury of $17,145. This ds slightly smaller than last year to the ex-

penditure of tennis with no receipts. Extensive improvements are planned wrh the surplus and a concrete wall will Ibe erected along the south end of the field. A new 'baseball diamond will be built independent of the football field. The 1915 Illinois eleven will have one of the heaviest schedules ever carried by the institution. Chicago, Minnesota, and Wisconsin will appear in the last three games of the season with the orange and blue Purdue’ has resumed athletic relations with the mini, being substituted in the place of Indiana. Indiana objected to an early date and was dropped. Heine Wagner, Bed Sox shortstop who was on thr bench' the past season due to rheumatism in his arm, will go into training at Hot Springs in an effort to get his arm in shape for a comeback.

(REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR A woman would rather have- a tailor one day a year than a dressmaker every week. You can tell how most people don’t .care for you by how much they tell 'you they do. Good conduct takes years to make ian impression; but when it’s bad it makes it right away. When a girl acquires the habit of liking to be in her own room for re.flection she has reached the love letter stage. An open fireplace woald be fairly comfortable for the family if the men |of the house didn’t have to sit right iln front of it and cut off all the heat. J When a girl .hates to be kissed it’s !a sign it isn't the right man. Expense meets yon at the start; you may catch Income at the finish. Being wise in business doesn’t mean a man can’t be a fool in everything else. - What makes a man so excited in lan argument is that he resolved at the sti rt not to be. Some people could figure out it was fun to swallow tacks if common folk hadn’t the means to. Maybe it is heaven because they have good cooks there. It’s bootless to preach good citizenship and it’s boresome to practice IL A man’s early ambition to be a milUonalre can simmer down in the end to a yearning for theatre passes. It’s just a man’s way to take his children to Sunday school and then hunt around the neighborhood for a side door. If a man stays out late at night he gets indignant with his wife sos ’not understanding that the reason he feels so bad the next morning is because business is poor. A widow is always willing to learn .from a man so she will need to learn more. The most comfortable pedigree to have is one that goes back to a gold < mine. When a woman isn’t losing her hair very fast it’s a sign she is sure it's growing thicker and longer. If It rained dollars in your back ; yard the bottom of it would drop out and they would all go through to China. If a woman’s bank account balances the first time she tries it l she doesn’t dare verify IL for fear it won’t again. Hives, eczema, itch or salt rheum sets you crazy. Can’t bear the touch of your clothing. Doan’s Ointment is fine for skin Itching. %All druggists sell it 50c a box.
