Large Attendance at Union Thanksgiving Church Service.

A great congregation that filled the church and Sunday school gathered last night to hear the evangelist, H. W. Kerr, preach the union Thanksgiving sermon. The service was in charge of Dr. Curnkk and Rev. Beard, the new Baptist minister, offered the prayer.

The evangelists sang two beautiful selections which delighted the audience. The sermon was a strong presentation, giving the reasons why we ought to be thankful to Almighty God for His many blessings. The sermon recounted the maternal and spiritual blessings we enjoy as individuals and also the great national blessings that - we enjoy as a united, free people living in peace while all of Europe is in a state of war. The collection was given to the Charity Board. Tonight the Sunday School is especially invited and a great •meeting is expected. , There is no doubt as to the success of these evangelistic services, as the work of the evangelists is meeting with universal favor and they are do ; ng a great work for good in Rensselaer.

Post Cards Show How Cyclone Devastated Great Bend

G. N. Sayler, in renewing.his subscription to The Semi-Weekly Republican, sends two postcard pictures of devastation wrought at Great Bend, Kans., his home, by the cyclone. One picture shows the wreck of the Walnut Creek mill, which was apparently a complete ruin, and the other phture was taken in a field on the Olayton ranch, near Great Bend, where 1,000 sheep were killed. The dead animals are laying all around and the field is littered with debris. Mr. Sayler does not report any personal losses and we hope he was not in the wake of the, storm. i :

THE EVENING REPUHI4CAN* RENSSELAER, IND.

W. R. WOOD ARRIVES IN NATIONAL CAPITAL

Congressman From Tenth Indiana District Has Opened Office In Washington. Washington, Nov. 25.—Wi1l RWood, representative of the tenth Indiana district, has arrived here, accompanied by Mrs. Wood and Miss Myrtle B. Cassel, of Lafayette. He has appointed Miss Cassel, who has been employed in his law office fifteen years, as his private secretary. Mr. and Mrs. Wood will live at the Portland apartment house, which was formerly Indiana headquarters for members of congress. Mr. Wood opened his office in the house office building. It is the same office which John B. Peterson, his predecessor, occupied. “I am in favor of preparedness,” he said. “By that I mean preparedness commensurate with the necessities and importance of the country and as compared with the preparedness of all other-leading nations. “I should think another government school should be established that would give military and scientific training to the young tnen Who would be designated pro rata among the congressional districts, as candidates for West Point are chosen. Let it be understood that as long as the United States is at peace the graduates of this institution would not be subject to military duty, but that whenever the country needs them they would be subject to its-call. An institution like this would give worthy young men thorough scientific education for peaceful pursuits and at the same time would provide a remedy for our most glaring deficiency in military personnel, which is a lack of efficient officers.” Mr. Wood told Indianians whom he met today that Charles W. Fairbanks in a jfcpular choice on the Pacific coast for the presidential nomination. -Mr. Wood has just returned from a month spent in the west. ( “The sentiment for him is very strong,” said Mr. Wood. “He is recognized as a level-headed man of correct business ideas who would fit the resuirements of the presidency better than any other man mentioned.”

EASY WAY TO MAKE HAIR ATTRACTIVE

Ladies May Add to Their Appearance With Little Trouble. Ladies who find trouble in properly or attractively arranging and dressing their hair should try using a little Parisian Sage twice daily for a while and note the remarkable improvement. Parisian Sage, which can be obtained from B. F. Fendig or any drug coutner, makes the hair soft, lustrous, fluffy and wavy, takes out the dull, lifeless appearance, dissolves the dandruff and stimulates the hair roots into healthy normal action. Instead of merely sprinkling the hair, it should be rubbed right into the scalp with the finger tips. Parisian Sage is a delightful treatment for both hair and scalp, cannot possibly injure the hair and is very inexpensive.

Pioneer M. E. Minister Dies Following Operation.

Rev. William Martin Zaring, for more than half a century one of the leading M. E. ministers in Indiana, died a» the Methodist hospital in Indianapolis Tuesday afternoon, following an operation. His advanced age mitigated against his recovery from the operation. He had been an active minister snee 1862 and was one of the most striking figures in the pastorate of the state. He had held continual pastorates in this state, mostly in central and southern Indiana, retiring in 1910 after serving as pastor of Grace church in Indianapolis for some time.

GRAY HAIR BECOMES DARK, THICK, GLOSSY

Try Grandmother’s Old Favorite Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray, also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the «only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is miissy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound.” You get a large bottle for about 50 cents, Everybody uses this old, famous recipe, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with' it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. My morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.

Attorney W. H. Parkinson returned this morning from a business-trip to Chicago and Inhianapolis.

Jim Thorpe Played Great Game of Football Thursday.

Big Jim Thorpe, probably - the greatest all-around athlete in the world, assistant coach of the football team at Indiana university, played left half back fcr Pine Village Thursday in a game against the university all-stars at Lafayette. The game was witnessed by about 3,000 people, including seveAl from this city. The. Pine Village team was composed mostly of men who have made themselves famous in college football and a number of the regular Pine Village lad® played on the bench. Kenneth Groom, a Rensselaer boy and who was recerttly picked on the Purdue all-Star team, played left end for the university players during two-thirds of the game. He played a great game, too, breaking up Thorpe’s interference time after time. Kenneth would easily have made Purdue this year if he had been a four-year student, but he is taking the two year pharmacy course and this kept him off tfre ’varsity team. Although Pine Village had a remarkable team, the work of Thorpe was the real sensation and he made many long runs through, around and over the gritty lads who opposed him. The team that resembled Pine Vil-

lage reminded one of the South Bend team that Pat O’Dea brought here to play the Rensselaer Athletic®, the game the “has-beens’ always refer to with chesty pride. Thorpe escaped this game without serious injury, but O’Dea reoeived a broken collarbone in his game with Rensselaer and we believe he never playd a game after that time. Thorpe plays as clean game, not even being rude. He dodges, speedy up, high steps and gets away in a marvelous manner. He gave an exhibition bf punting and drop-kicking that was a feature of the occasion.

Pine Village is more on the map probably than any small town in the fJtate and they passed through a very busy season undefeated.

WILL BUILD DREADNAUGHTS IN U. S. NAVY YARDS

Secretary Daniels Turns to the Government’s Facilities, As the Private Bids Exceed Cost Limit. Washington, Nov. 23. —Secretary Daniels announced today that he had taken the first step with a view to building in government navy yards battleships Nos. 43 and 44, private bids for which exceeded the limitation of cost fixed by congress. The department asked steel makers all over the country to submit before Wednesday of next week bids on steel for these two ships with statements of the earliest possible date at which they could make delivery to the government.

All private bids for the ships opened last week exceeded $8,000,000, while the limit fixed by congress is $7,0000,000 for the cost of hulls and machinery. Navy yard estimates from the Philadelphia, New York and Mare Island yard’s are below the limit.

Secretary Daniela has indicated that the Norfolk yard and possibly the Puget Sound yard will be considered when the contracts for the battleships are awarded. Neither yard is now eqtiipped for battleship building.

All the private bidders gave the increasing cost of structural steel and the inability to obtain early delivery from the steel companies as factors in determining the amount of their bids and the time required for construction.

BERRY PRODUCTS

Strawberry Waste Tremendous—Suggestions for Handling Surplus Through Cannery and Cold Storage. Each year thousands of bushels of strawberries go to waste in the larger producing centers of the United States because of low prices or some adverso condition. In many regions of the south 20 to 25 per cent of the crop is never gathered, because the prices toward the end of the season are too low to justify picking the fruit. This la a great loss that should be avoided, with the increasing demands foi strawberry products, such as crushed fruit, jellies, preserves, and marmalades, this loss can be largely reduced, according to a new publication of the department of agriculture (F. B. 664). Within the last few years some of the manufacturers of food products have been putting up fresh strawberries in large quantities for use at soda fountains and in the manufacture of ice cream! This Industry offers Important possibilities to the producer, manufacturer, and consumer. Several large manufacturers buy surplus strawberries and put them up in the field, while others' ship the fruit to their home factory. . One of the best methods of handling the fruit is as follows: Wash the berries thoroughly in cold water, put them into tight barrels with sugar in about equal weights, load in refrigerator cars and ship to cold-storage plant where they can be held until needed. Sometimes the berries are crushed before being put into the barrels, but in most cases they are packed as nearly whole as possible. When ready for use they are taken from storage and manufactured into the various products. If the fruit is in gopd condition at the time it is placed in culd storage, it can be kept for a long time without to any great extent losing its flavor and fresh color.

The keeping of strawberries under refrigeration is a comparatively new undertaking, but results that have been secured indicate that in time this can be made an Important Industry. It is possible to keep the fruit in such a way that its quality is practically unimpaired. In a single storage house 6,000 barrels of crushed sugared strawberries were held at a temperature between 36 degrees and 40 degrees F. Proper storage is an Important matter, for it will enable the grower to dispose of his surplus crop and at the same time will provide the consumer with a wholesome strawberry product throughout the year. When growers are banded together into a large association it of ten should be possible for them to manufacture strawberry by-products at the producing center under the management of the organization.

Milk for Chickens.

The Storrs experiment station, Storrs, Conn., in Bulletin 80 gives the following conclusions from milk-feed-ing tests: The feeding of milk to young chlqks has a most favorable Influence on the growth and on the lessening of mortality of the chicks. It tends to prevent mortality from all causes, and if fed soon enough and for a sufficiently long period, greatly reduces the death-rate caused by baccillary white diarrhoea.

Sweet and sour milk are apparently of equal value in their relation to growth and mortality. Furthermore, different degrees of souring do not alter the results* of milk feeding. The value of milk as a food for chicks does not depend upon any acids that may be present, nor upon any particular types of micro-organ-isms; but upon one or more of the natural constituents of the milk. When milk is supplied freely to chicks, it becofnes all the more important that they have abundant exercise. This applies more particularly to early-hatched chicks that are brooded wholly or for the most part in doors.

The feeding of sweet or sour milk to young chicks has in no Instance been found to be in any way injurious to the chicks employed in our numerous experiments. If the milk is dean, and not too old, none but the most favorable results should accompany its use as a food for chicks. There is no preference in the choice of sweet or of sour milk, except from the standpoint of convenience. The use of the one or the other should be determined by the circumstances. However, it seems very desirable that the same kind of milk be supplied throughout the milk-feeding period. If the choice is that of sour milk, sour milk should be fed to the end

Simple Plow Shoe.

To move a plow without having the point digging in the ground as you drive along, procure an old shoe or the foot of an old leather boot, cut it off crosswise to remove the back part and the heel, then slip the tee end of the shoe over the plow point and drive where you want to. - It effectually muzzles the plow. -

Owing to the high price of poultry and shortage of other farm crops more people obtained their money for Christmas presents this year from the poultry yard than ever before.

To neglect a flock of birds is decidlly a money losing proposition.

WATERING CAN FOR PLANT.

Aid to Floral Beauty Devised by tn> genius Scheme. When potted ferns and ether plants are set on high shelves, or in baskets out of easy reach, the daily rotitine of watering them is frequently a troublesome one requiring the use of a stepladder or its equivalent An ingenius device which eliminates this procedure consists of a cylindrical can held in a fork at the end of a long handle. This mounting is similar to that of the average kerosene torch and allows the can to tip either forward or backward. Near the brim of the receptacle a piece of wire, about an inch long, is soldered. By lifting the can to the edge of a flower pot and engaging this hook, thus allowing the container to be tipped forward, the water may bo poured freely.—Popular Mechanics

Children of Orchardists Raise Pigs. The pig club of the northwest is meeting a very enthusiastic response, especially in the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. For some time the Hood river country has been noted for its extensive orchards, but there is now an embryonic industry starting, which may in time induce a wider diversification in crops. Hog raising is being introduced by children, the sons and daughters of the orchardists. Recently a carload of brood sows was sent from the Portland Union stockyards to the Hood river valley for distribution among the children. These are furnished on credit to those who agree to raise them in accordance with the prescribed instructions and to make reports of their efforts. The sows were selected from pure-bred stock, of the breed designated by the applicants and have been bred to boars that won prizes at the big agricultural fairs last fall The hogs have been immunized against hog cholera and are good, healthy animals. The boys and girls will keep an accurate record of all costs in connection with their work, and as the little pigs arrive the expense of keeping the mother and her brood are to be carefully enumerated. The children will pay for the sow by selling the pigs, the stockyards charging 6 per cent interest on the selling price of the sow.' This places the transaction on a strictly business basis. The school officials in each county will have special supervision of the work. Among the prizes to be awarded in each state to those who have the best reports will be free scholarship for the state universities.

Preserving Surplus Eggs.

The art of preserving eggs when they were cheap and selling them later at a big profit was until recent years practiced only by storage companies. Of late, however, methods of preservation have been perfected until the average poultryman finds it easy and inexpensive to preserve his surplus. The cheapest, simplest and most effective of these methods is the * use of the waterglass solution. In giving directions for the proper way of doing this work, J. A. Helmerich, poultry expert of the Colorado Agricultural college says: “Eggs to be in waterglass should be fresh, sound and clean. They should be gathered daily and preserved the same day. Infertile eggs are conductive to the best success.

“Take one quart of waterglass, which can be obtained from any drug store at about |1 a gallon, and mix it with 10 ’quarts of water that has been boiled and then cooled. Stir thoroughly and place in a crockery vessel. Never use galvanized or tin vessels. Place the vessel in a cool, well ventilated cellar, and add eggs as you gather them from day to day, always keeping the solution one inch above the eggs. Keep the crock covered with a lid to prevent too much evaporation. Eggs preserved in this manner will keep perfectly for one year. The waterglass solution will not injure the hands. Do not use the solution more than one year.“It will be found hard to boil waterglass eggs, but by puncturing the large end with a needle, to allow the air to escape, and allowing the water to come to a boll gradually, you will not experience much trouble.”

The popular belief that birds under ordinary circumstances find ocean flight wearisome, and that after laboring with tired wings across the seemingly endless waste they sink exhausted on reaching land, Is disproven by facts. It seems rather that the powers of locomotion with which nature has endowed many birds are so wonderful that under normal conditions they can easily cross the Gulf of Mexico at its widest point and even pass without pause over the low, swampy coastal plain to the higher territory beyond. So little averse are birds to an ocean flight that many fly from eastern Texas to the gulf coast of southern Mexico though this 400 miles of water journey hardly shortens the distance of travel by an hour’s flight. Thus birds avoid the hot, treeless plains and scant provender of south em Texas by a diroct flight from the moist, insect-teeming forests of north ern Texas to a similar country la southern Mexico.

A sandy soil makes the best poultry run. Filth is soon washed out of it and it dries out soonest after rain. Then the grit in it s of value. If you have only a small lot and your soil is heavy black, it will pay tp buy a load of two of said every year and spread over it.
