HOSPITAL PROGRESS AWAITS ARCHITECTS

Plans For Jasper County Building Must Be Approved By Board Before The apparent delay in the hospital construction is explained by J. D. Allman, chairman of the board, to be oci casioned by the fact that the architectural plans have not yet been received. One set came from Anson Cox, now of Hammond, some time ago, but the board is expecting one or two other sets and the contract for the hospital can not bet let until the plans are decided upon and the same have been advertised. The hospital will be located on the lot back of the jaril, fifty additional feet to be purchased from John O’Connor, for which the county council appropriated |I,OOO. The contract for the hospital will be let as soon as the advertising can be done after the plans are accepted.

WHY NOT HAVE A CANNING FACTORY HERE

Match Factory Would Be Ideal Plaoe and There is No Experiment If In Right Hands. - Geo. M. Myers, president and general manager of the Jasper County Telephone Co., gave us a copy of The Washington, 111., . Post and News of Oct 7th, which contains the following article: ♦ “The Dickinson canning factory finished their oorn run on Monday. This is several weeks later than they ever run a season before. This year they canned 3,000,000 cans of a fine grade of corn. This is about a maximum pack for any one year. The average yield to the farmers who grew the crop-was 3% tons to the acre, which brought them S2B. Sam Each had 9 acres which averaged 5 tons. The company’s ground near the factory yielded 5% tons to the acre. The pack went through without a hitch and everyone from Supt. Ralph DeMotte down are well pleased with the record they made.” Mr. Myers thinks it would be a good thing to make a canning factory of our match factory building. Probably we could find some one who would be glad to establish onewith a chance of eventually getting the building for having done so. The building is well adapted for the purpose and it would be a good thing if we could interest some one in the project.

Jordan Township Neighbors Remembered Charles Patrick.

Charles Patrick, long a resident of Jordan township, was 76 years of age Sunday and neighbors to the number of sixty gathered ;o have their dinners at his home.

ROCKEFELLER IS PRAISED BY SON

John D., Jr, Eulogizes Father As "Tenderest and Most Democratic of Men,” in Speech. Denver, Oct. B.—John D. Rockefeller, Jr., addressing the Chamber of Commerce today eulogizing his father as the “tehderest and most democratic of men.” “Criticized, maligned and condemned these many years, not only for his business success, but also because of his philanthropic endeavors, there is still not the slightest trace of bitterness in his character and he has nothing but good will for men,” he said. “Whatever,l am or may be, I owe so my sainted mother and my honored ather.” Referring to the many expressions of friendship during his three weeks in Colorado, Mr. Rockefeller said: “These I have accepted as intended for my father, whose representative I am. My father has been for many years a good friend of the state of Colorado. His confidence in the future of the state has been shown by his placing of considerable sums of money in the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. On the common stock of that company, he never has received one cent in dividends, but he ha 3 not lost faith in the future of Colorado.”

AERIAL ARMY NO LONGER A DREAM

Monster Battle ’Plane Mounts Two Cannon On Wings and Carries Crew of Twelve Men. •Paris, Oct. B.—An aerial army is no longer a dream of romance. Such an army, formed in divisions and squadrons, with battle aeroplanes, cruiser aeroplanes, scouts and torpedo planes, all armored heavily, and carrying three inch cannon and rapid fire guns, is a reality. It has been made possible through the remarkable development of military aviation in France. The French government today permitted correspondents the first inspection of its new fleet of aeroplanes. huge battle plane was the chief center of attention. The monster actually flies, carrying a crew of 12 men, with two cannon on tKe wings throwing three-inch steel projectiles. The armored cruiser aeroplanes were put through tests high in the air. They are small biplanes of high power. Each is armed with a cannon and is capable of rising almost vertically from the ground at a speed of 9Q miles an hour. Each cruiser squadron will consist of nine aeroplanes of all types, including one battle plane, two battle cruisers and six scout planes. The complement for a squadron will be upwards of fifty officers and men, for the operation of the aeroPlanes and their transportation on lorries drawn by automobiles, with which each squadron will be esuipped. One hundred military aviators are under instruction.

KANKAKEE PROJECT UPHELD AT LAPORTE

Ditch to Cost '5460,000 Sustained By Judge—3,2oo Land Owners Assessed For the Ditch. LaPorte, Ind., Oct. B.—Efforts of property owners assessed for the $500,000 Dixon W. Place drainage ditch in Laporte, St. Joseph, Marshall and Starke counties to knock out the project failed today when Judge James H. Gallaher in the .Laporte circuit court ruled that the remonstrances were void. A motion by those opposing the ditch to dismiss the petition was overruled. Edward O. Craft, of Laporte county, one of the ditch commissioners, resigned and Judge -Gallaher appointed Robert H. Guyer, of St. Joseph county in his place. The report of the commissioners filed several months ago, was referred back to them to make certain changes. The promoters of the project are confident the new report will be accepted by the court and the big ditch will be ordered established. Some of the affected land owners are endeavoring to force the state to pay back money obtained from the sale of Kankakee swamp land originally deeded by the government to the state, the money having been placed in the school fund. The report show stoat 3,200 land owners will be assessed for the ditch. It is estimated the cost will be $460,000 and the benefits $660-000. The Plan is to deepen and widen the Kankakee river and reclaim thousands of acres of land.

FIRST FOOTBALL GAME TO RENSSELAER

Pulled Game Out of Fire Near Finish After Kentland Had Scored in the First Half. Rensselaer won its first football game of the year Saturday, defeating £entland by the score of 7 to 6, after the visitors had held them down until within three minutes of the end of the game. Although the team was a little ragged in its offensive work and allowed the Kentland players to break repeatedly through the line, the boys put up a very good game for their first time out and should have won the game by a larger margin. Some bad judgment, a little bad luck and over-confidence seemed the factors that almost lost the first game to the visitors. The visitors had a fleet-footed little quarterback named O’NeiV who intercepted a forward pass which was unwisely attempted when Rensselaer was within 7 yards of a touchdown, and getting underway with the pigskin tucked under his arm ran the full length of the field for a touchdown. Booster Eigelsbadh, the local quarterback, set out in pursuit but could not operate his lower props fast enough to capture the fleet O’Neil, who planted the ball between the goal posts. With everything in their favor, however, Kentland failed to kick goal and thereby loSt their chance to tie the game. With the handicap of 6 points Rensselaer was at a great disadvantage and it took all of the remaining time about to force the ball across the Kentland line. Harry Moore finally went over the line and Booster Eigelsbach kicked goal and the score was 7 to 6. After that the ball was punted quite a little for the sake of time and there was joy in the Rensselaer camp because their first game had resulted in a victory. A little comment on the game might serve to aid the locals in their future games. The line must learn to stop up the holes, the formation must be changed to afford better interference and there must be a big revival in the “pep” that has always been such a factor in our high school. The line must be stretched out to take cAre of the halfbacks and ends and prevent them getting around and breaking up' the plays back of the line. /The forward passes worked very we}l and since the team is light it looks as though the success must depand largely on the offensive open game. Gourley is a great man at center, Harry Moore as the big strength in the oack field and his line bucking had all of the old-fashioned smash that made Rensselaer famous at the gridiron game. The Dunlap boys have speed and daring and they tackle well' and if the interference can be formed in front of them should be able to make many long runs, but they are 1 light and can not get results unless given an almost clear field. Booster Eigelsbach ds playing a good game at quarterback but his* forward passes fell short of the mark and Dwight got better results dn this respect in the short time he played. Harry MoColly put up a good game at left end and will make one of the best men on the team. Hard daily practice tq buoy up ./he spirits and nerve of the bunch must be indulged in if they are to make a respectable showing in the hard schedule before them.

Mrs. Grant Warner Again Receives Blood by Transfusion.

Mrs. Grant Warner, who had lost some ground recently, was given a blood transfusion at her home Sunday, her son, Rex Warner, again giving blood in an effort to restore her to health. Dr. Washburn, the local physician, called Dr. Nelson Percy and his assistant, Dr. Nadeau, of Chicago, to perform the operation. It is hoped that toe effect will be a strengthening one and that she will be able to return to Chicago for a day within a week or two for another transfusion.

LIVE STOCK MOVES AGAIN IN INDIANA

Michigan and West Virginia Also Have Foot and Mouth Disease Quarantine Raised. Washington, Oct. B.—All federal restrictions on the movement of live stock because of the foot and mouth disease are removed from the states of Indiana, Michigan and Virginia by a department of agriculture order made public tonight to become effective tomorrow. This leaves the whole country with the exception of northern Illinois, practically free from quarantine. Small areas in Steuben county, New York, in Hudson county, New Jersey, and the so-called “Meek” in Philadelphia still are under a modified form of quarantine, however, and a part of the West Philadelphia stock yards are in the restricted area. With these exceptions the quarantine imposed as a result of the outbreak in 1914, all have been removed. In northern Illinois a considerable territory now is in the closed area on account of an outbreak of the disease which occurred in August. The Union stock yards in Chicago are maintained as a restricted area, handling live stock for immediate slaughter only.

C. P. Wright Enters Ranks of Athletics—Some Demonstration.

If any one tells you that C. Parm Wright is about all in physically you can deny it and base your denial on his performance of last Saturday. He was crossing Washington street at the postoffice comer when a tourist automobile traveling at about 15 miles an hour came across the bridge and was on Parm before you could say Jack Robinson. Parm had no chance to escape by jumping either way and he had no time to think, but lis wits worked with lightning rapidity and' he placed his hands on the raliator of the car and with the activity of a high school athlete drew his body up and sat down on the radiator. The car was brought to a rtop and Parm was as comfortable as though he had had all morning to get into the position. Had he failed to make the leap he would have been knocked down and probably killed. When Mr. Wright was a young man in Rensselaer the practice was to sit on the counters of the stores and evidently he had acquired the method of springing on the counter so well that it returned to him in an hour of need. He is a veteran of the civil war and about 70 years of age but has a little “pep” in reservation when needed, as he so well demonstrated Saturday.

Phillies and Red Sox Each Have Won Game in World’s Series.

The Red Sox evened up with the Phillies Saturday when they captured the second game of the world’s series. The beaneaters won by the score of 2 to 1, but they outhit the Quakers 10 to 3. Foster, who pitched for the Boston team held the National Leaguers in his power all the time and won his own game by Datting in the winning run. He made two singles and a double during the game. President Wilson and his fiance attended the game and the president threw out the first ball. Today the teams clash in the third game of the series.

Winamac Defeated Francesville In Fourteen Inning Game.

Francesville has kept up its baseball spirit in great shape and Sunday played a game with Winamac, losing 5 to 4 in the 14th inning after tieing the game in the 9th. Patterson, the pitcher for Winamac, hit a home run in the final inning. Sanderson and Record were pitcher and catcher for Francesville. Each team got 10 hits.

MEMBERSHIP TREBLES SINCE LAST FEBRUARY

Columbia Club Has 3,100 Members and Wants to Increase Until"” There Are 5,000. (Special to The Republican.) Indianapolis, Oct. B.—The Columbia Olub has had a threefold increase of membership within six months. Prom a little over a thousand members when the membership campaign was inaugurated April Ist, the list has grown steadily each week until now there are over thirty-one hundred names enrolled on the club roster. Among the prominent citizens of Indiana who are members are: Chas. Warren Fairbanks, Albert J. Beveridge, James A. Hemenway, W. T. Durbin, James E. Watson, W. L. Taylor, A. R. Robinson, Walter Olds, Hugh Th. Miller (the latter being candidates for the republican nomination for U. S. senator), and James P. Goodrich, Warren T. McCray, Quincy A. Myers, Chas. A. Carlisle and R. O. Johnson, candidates for the republican nomination for governor, along with several hundred district and county chairmen, precinct and ward committeemen and local republican leaders in all parts of the state. Among the prominent members outside of Indiana are John Hays Hammond, H. R. Kurrie, Daniel G. Reid and J. D. Maxwell, of New York, Wilbur R. Nesbit and W. D. Boyce, of Chicago, along with nearly two hundred others from twenty states from New York to California. Much of the credit for the remarkable success of the membership campaign is due to the co-operation of the newspapers and party leaders in each county in the state. Their services have been of inestimable value to those who have had direct charge of the membership campaign. Nearly two hundred republican newspaper men of Indiana are now enrolled on the club roster; and over two hundred cities and towns are represented in the membership. The “Burgoo Feast” at the state fair grounds recently was a celebration over the results of the “first heat” in the race for five thousand members, the goal which has been set by President L. A. Hamilton, and the board of directors of the club. The “second heat” is now on and the membership campaign is to continue with unabating interest. The club building “on the Circle” is teeming with activity; and it is becoming more and more apparent each day that larger quarters will soon be required in order to provide accommodation for the large increase in membership. The indications are that the proposed ten story annex to the present club building will become a reality i nthe near future. Editor’s Note.—The Columbia Club is doing much toward reuniting the republican party and has become the active headquarters of politicians from all parts of. the state. The effect is already noticeable in the inspired confidence felt in all quarters and to be identified with the club is to show your approaal of its activities and to be an important help in restoring republicans to power in the state and nation. The out-of-Indian-apolis membership has been placed at S2O per year computed to March Ist and The Republican believes that all who feel able to do so should align themselves with that club. It owns a splendid property on the circle, none better located in Indianapolis. It at present has a 5-story home, with well appointed club rooms, a large dining room, rest rooms, lobby, assembly, etc., and the plans are to build it much larger so that ail members who come to Indianapolis can be accommodated. There are a few membership application blanks at The Republican office and we shall gladly endorse for membership any who care to join. Get into the biggest and best club in Indiana and you will be doing much toward bringing about republican success at the polls at the next election.
