SURELY GOOD PROFIT IN THIS HOG

O. H. McKay Purchases Hog For $35 and Sells It Without Seeing It For SIOO. 0. H. McKay, the laundryman, perhaps holds the Jasper county record for receiving a big profit on a single hog. A few days ago he wrote to a friend in Illinois asking him if he had a Hampshire sow for sale. His friend wrote him that he did not have, but that lie could buy him one at a sale for about $35. Mr. McKay Instructed him to buy at that price. After the hog was purchased it was found that it could not be shipped from the state on account of the order regarding 'the foot and mouth disease. This week Mr. McKay received a letter from the party who purchased the sow for him stating that he had an offer of SIOO for the sow, and he was instructed to sell it. Wednesday a check for SIOO arrived in payment. I " " 1,1 " Pl "" Orlen Grant and wife returned to Hammond last Friday, where he is under the care of a physician. The Republican stated about two weeks ago that Mr. and Mrs. Grant would return to Lafayette to live but this was a mistake. (Mrs. Grant had gone there to rent the flat in which they had been living to another party and they will continue to live in Hammond until his health is restored. See the best entertainment of the fall. The Swiss Bell Ringers will be here next Thursday,. Nov. 4th. Matinee for children at 4 o’clock and an entire change of program in the evening. Admission to night performance 35 cents. At Presbyterian church. Mrs. Michael Eger, whose age is 83 years, fell last Sunday in the yard at her home and sustained a fracture of the large bone of one arm, half way between the wrist and elbow. She has suffered quite a little with it since and it will probably be some time in healing. Mrs. Eger is the mother of John Eger, the grocer.

GIANT PLANES FOR U. S. NAVY A REALITY

Secretary Daniels Orders Construction of Air Monster to Carry 2,200 Pounds of Explosives. Washington, Oct. 27.—Secretary Daniels signed an order today for the construction at the navy yard here of a giant- biplane for the navy, the first aircraft to be built at any government establishment. Plans for the machines were preparing by navy engineers under the direction of Naval onstructor H. C. Richardson, a qualified air pilot, who has been at work 5n the design for months. The craft will have a carrying capacity of 2,200 pouilds and will make from fifty to eighty miles an hour for a period of seven hours without stop. It will be driven by two 160-horsepow-er motors. When completed the machine will almost equal in size the great French battle airships recently constructed, and it is understood the navy ordnance bureau is at work on the design of a 3-inch gun with which is can be equipped if desired.

FALL TRADING DAYS ARE NOV. 3 & 4

Merchants Set Dates For Bargain Giving and States Will Be Resplendent In Offerings. Rensselaer merchants are again offering to the public a page of bargains and are putting their stores in attractive array for next Wednesday and Thursday, November 3rd and 4th, which have been chosen as “bargain days” by the Retail Merchants Association. Thirty merchants have entered heartily into the plan to make these days the best ever held and a wide invitation is being sent out to the farmers, the residents of other towns, the people of Rensselaer and to all who want to get in on the bargains to come here on those two days and spend a few profitable hours, a few effective dollars and meet theft" friends from all over the county and take home with them a supply of merchandise bought at right prices. The bright and warm days of the past three weeks have caused many to postpone the shopping that is ordinarily done in October and this sale comes just at the right time to prove most alluring to thrifty buyers. Our stores, and we have a number of mighty good ones, will be all spick and span and you can get clothing, shoes, drygoods, millinery, groceries, hardware, notions and anything you want to buy at better prices and have the guarantee of local merchants than you can buy through mail order houses or in the city stores. Rensselaer has beefi growing and the country has been growing. We are joint partners in our success. What is good for Rensselaer is good for the sdrroundihg country and what is good for the country is good for Rensselaer. Let us get together on the two days next week and boost and buy and bolster up the best little city and the best surrounding country in Indiana. Hip! Hurray! For Rensselaer. Don’t forget Wednesday and Thursday, November 3 and 4. County Surveyor Myrt B. Price visited his old home in west Carpenter township yesteraay and brought back with him a sack of very fine apples. He enojyed them especially as the trees were planted by him when a toy, which, he thinks after a little thinking, was as much as thirty years ago. Will'Clark, son of Mrs. Lucy Clark, was taken to Chicago this morning by Dr. Kreselr and will receive treatment for stomach trouble, remaining in a hospital there for several days. He has been frail for many years and for the past few weeks has been failing rapidly. He saw an Indianapolis specialist but was not helped any, and now he is to have an x-ray examination made and take treatment in Chicago.

LIFE TEACHING LICENSE ISSUE AGAIN AGITATED

State Association Will Indicate Atti* tude Toward Idea of Extending Perpetual Permit Privilege. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 28.—Many subjects of vital interest to the school teachers of Indiana are to be given serious consideration by the Indiana State Teachers' Association which will open its 62nd annual convention at the state fair grounds today. Probably the most far-reaching subject with which the*teachers will deal will be the resolution concerning the question of life licenses for those instructors who have taught successfully for two years. The resolution to come before the teachers this year is a reaffirmation of a similar resolution which was up last year and which favors giving the state board of education the right to grant licenses to those teachers who have been graduated from any standard college having a four-year course. Under the present system only graduates of the Indiana State Normal are entitled to life licenses, but the resolution which will come before the association at this time seeks to have enacted a statute extending that privilege to the garduates of other Indiana educational institutions.

WILLIAM PETTY DIED IN CHICAGO HOSPITAL

Union Township Man Passed Away Wednesday Morning—Taken to City For Operation. William Petty, aged about 44 years, died in a Chicago hospital at 8:00 o’clock Wednesday morning. He was taken to the city Tuesday for an operation. It was an emergency case and the 10:36 train stopped at Fair Oaks to permit him being taken on the train. Dr. A. R. Kresler, of this city, accompanied him to the hospital, returning here that evening and was not present when his death occurred. Mr. Petty’s wife was formerly Miss Fae Bradford, who taught school in this county for several years and is teaching again this year at Fair Oaks. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bradford, of Bloomfield, came this Thursday morning to attend the funeral.

STOMACH MISERY QUICKLY VANISHES

Your money back if you want it is the way in which B. F. Fendig, the popular druggist is selling Mi-o-na, the great dyspepsia remedy. This is an unusual plan, but Mi-o-na has so much merit and is almost invariably successful in relieving all forms of indigestion that he runs but little risk in selling under a guarantee of this kind. Do not be miserable or make your friends miserable with your dyspepsia. Mi-o-na will help you. If it doesn’t, tell B. F. Fendig that you want your .money back and he will cheerfully refund it. A change for the better will be seen from the first few doses of Mi-o-na and its continued use will soon start you on the road to perfect digestion and enjoyment of food. Mi-o-na has been so uniformly successful that every box is sold under a positive guarantee to refund the money if it does not relieve. "Whht fairer proposition could be made B. F. Fendig gives his personal guarantee of “money back if you want it” with every box of Mi-o-na that he sells. A guarantee like this speaks for the merit of the remedy.
