DELIGHTFUL BANQUET; ENJOYABLE RECEPTION

Senior-Junior Affair al Presbyterian Church and Armory Proved Very Enjoyable Affair. The Good Cheer class of the Presbyterian church served the banquet for the Junior-Senior reception in the church dining room Friday evening at 6:30 o’clock. The room, which is finished in green and white, was decorated with flowers and foliage of the same colors, making an admirable background for the young guests in their dainty evening dresses. The guests included besides the members of the two classes and the faculty, Mrs. Ross Dean and Mrs. Wass and Dr. and Mr. A. R. Kresler and Mr. and Mrs. .A. R. Hopkins, members of the school board. The menu and decorations received many compliments. The toasts on “Spirits” of various kinds, from those that gave one headache to the school spirit, which was hard to define, were entertainingly discussed. > In fact, so much did the speakers have to tell of these various spirits and the committee who assigned them that as soon as the last speaker had finished the spirit of anxiety took possession of the crowd and a general rush for the armory ensued. The music for the dance was furnished by Nadel’s orchestra from Chicago. The dance lasted fintil 2 o’clock and everyone enjoyed a good time. The following was the program for the banquet: “SPIRITS.” Toastmaster —French Crooks. Evil—Miss Selma Leopold. Ghostly—Miss Ruth Wood. Hjgh—Miss Lucille Luers. Low —Robert Loy. The School—Robert Reeve. Drugs—Prof. Ira Coe. The Faculty—Miss Harriett Shedd.

FREE DELIVERY REQUIRES NUMBERS

Inspector Here Wednesday and Said That Streets Must Be Marked and Houses Numbered. Rensselaer just lacks two things before it can have free delivery of city mails. The things needed are easy to provide. Inspector J. N. Hunter, of South Bend, was here Wednesday for the postoffice department and found that the postoflice receipts were sufficient to give up two carriers, but he said that he could not recommend it until the houses were numbered and the streets were posted with signs. Postmaster Littlefield, who has been very active in an effort to secure the free~delivery, asked Mr. Hunter to accompany him to the office of Mayor Spitler to discuss the matter, but the mayor is absent from town. They then went to the office of City Attorney Leopold and Mr. Leopold will present the requirements to the council, which will doubtless take immediate steps to supply the needed things. Mr. Hunter left word that a? soon as the signs and numbers were up to ask him to again come to Rensselaer and he would lay out the routes and recommend that two carriers be placed on the job. This will mean two more men at good salaries in Rensselaer and will have the endorsement of all who are interested in the development of our eity.

Postal Savings Limit Raised to One Thousand.

Larger postal savings deposits will now be accepted at the postoffice. This is made possible by an important amendment to the postal savnigs act just approved by President Wilson. A postal savings depositor may now have an account amounting to $1,009 upon wfhich interest will be paid. Formerly SSOO was the maximum amount he could have to, his credit. This enlargement of postal savings facilities will be very gratifying to thousands of depositary who have already reached the old SSOO limit and are anxious to entrust more of their savings to Uncle Sam. Another feature of the amendment that will avoid further embarrissment to the public and to postal officials is the doing away with the limit on the amount that could be accepted monthly. Under the old law only SIOO could be deposited in a calendar month from one depositor. The amendment abolishes this restriction. While the Postal Savings Syster has already proved a. signal success as is shown by the fact that more than half a million depositors have over eighty million dollars standing to their cerdit, stil it has fallen short of meeting the full demands of the public because of the restrictions which have now been eliminated. Postmaster General Burleson and Assistant Dockery have been tireless in their efforts to secure a modification of the limitations and the new liberalizing legislation is particularly gratifying to them.

The Stork Special.

Monticello Citizens Show Interest In Retaining Company.

Mdnticello businessmen took steps at an enthusiastic meeting held in the armory Wednesday evening to save the militia company of that city from being mustered out. AdjutantGeneral Frank L. Bridges came from Indianapolis and stated that federal support for the company ceased on May 16th but that he would recommend to the war department that the company be given until June 6th to secure the needed men to bring the strenght up to 65 and that a special inspection be made in about 60 days. An organization of associate members was started and a committee of five appointed by S. W. Thompson, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, to make a canvass for associate members, each associate member to try to secure an active member for the company. Curtis D. Meeker was one of the first to sign the associate membership roll and his interest is such that he has proposed a plan for a new armory with adequate facilities for the care of property and a large floor for instruction in military subjects. Ed Lougfhry, Dr. Coffin, Everett Gadner, William Bunnell, Mayor Carr, Postmaster Simons, Vol Clyne number of others expressed deep interest in the retention of the company and pledged to have things well under way by next Monday evening, when a bean supper it to be held in the armory and when recruiting is to become active.

If the plans as adapted by the business men do not deveolp the company will be mustered out.

WHY SUFFER SO?

Why suffer from a bad back, from sharp, shooting twinges, headaches, dizziness and distressing urinary ills ? Rensselaer people recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Could you ask for stronger proof of merit? Mrs. J. J. Norgor, Mathewson Ave, Rensselaer, says: “We have used Doan’s Kidney Pills in the family for a loiig time and they have kept us in good health. I used to suffer considerably from frequent attacks of kidney disorder. My back was stiff and ame and ached so steadily that it tired me out. When I tried to wash, the leaning over caused almost unbearable sharp twinges in my back. Doan’s Kidney Pitts have always driven away these symptoms and have kept me well and strong.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Norgor had. Fbster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
