FOR A SAFE AND SANE HALOWE’EN

Public Masquerade is the Popular Form For Cutting Up On Ghost and Goblin Night. In many of the cities and towns that are neighbors to Rensselaer, the spirit of rowdyism and vandalism that had heretofore marked the observance of Hallowe’en, has just about disappeared, due to the present safe and sane manner for celebrating the date in the calendar that is popularly supposed to beldng to the young folks and that its name spells “pranks.” These cities and towns have taken the matter in hand, through commercial or business organizations and while the young folks are permitted to do . the celebrating the older folks help them and at the same time see to it that they don’t have too good a time, that no one is offended and that there is no property destroyed. We are of the opinion that Rensselaer ought to do something along this line, and all get behind some sort of an orderly Hallowe’en celebration by which the young folks will not be deprived of any fun, which will furbish an evening’s entertainment for everybody and prevent the possibility of a rowdy and lawless observance of the occasion, it would be a good thing. The masquerade idea is usually carried out where a regular program is observed and small prizes are awarded those who go to the most trouble or who show the most taste and skill in getting up a disguise.. The affair brings everybody down town and there is no need of extra police to watch the residence districts to see that the kids don t carry, away some citizen’s house and lotand with it add another story to the school house. The kids will be so busy either -watching or taking part in the masquerade festivities that they will forget all about the rough stuff that they have been in the habit of pulling. What do you say about having a big public masquerade on the downtown streets Hallowe’en ?

George P. Daugherty returned today from a several months’ visit in the west with friends and realtives. He left Rensselaer in July, going to Longmont, Colo., where he visited with Charles and Gaylord Nowels and families and from there he went to Ten Sleep, Wyo., for a visit with his uncle, Paris Daugherty.

DYING BY INCHES R is not an uncommon sight to see people who are dying by inches. The glands of the body are not working properly, poisonous matter accumulates and health declines. The circulation becomes sluggish, the blood impure, and a general nervous or debilitated condition exists. Day by day the liver and kidneys become less active, leaving the poisonous matter within the body. This poisonous accumulation causes the sallow complexion, and a tired, achy or rundown feeling which, if neglected, may result in jaundice, typhoid fever or serious liver and kidney trouble. Glando, the great gland toni , is especially prepared to relieve glandular disorders, throw off the poisonous accumulations and build up the system. Glando, the great galnd tonic, is the only treatment of its kind upon the market. Its superior qualities are due to the fact that it contains three separate treatments, each treatment having a special pfcrt to perform in effecting a cure. For sale by a F. FENDIG, DRUGGIST

REPUBUCAN VOTERS OFFERED STRONG CO. TICKET

Republican Party in Jasper County Well Represented With Able Men On Ticket. The following biographies of the men who make up the splendid republican county ticket appear below. These men are the choice of the citizenship of Jasper county republicans. Their characters, qualifications and fitness for the positions for _ which they aspire will bear the closest scrutiny. They are good men, will make splendid county officials and should have the support of all voters: GEORGE W. SCOTl 1 . The candidate for county recorder on the republican ticket is well known to practically every voter of Jasper cmmty, having lived in this county his entire lifetime. Mr. Scott was born in Hanging Grove township Nov. 17, 1875. He worked at the trade for a great many years prior to his election to county recorder, "during which time he cable. m contain with the farmers of the county and the buisnessmen this city. Mr. Scott’s efficiency as a county officer scarcely needs comment. He has gone about his work so quietly and has proven to be so efficient that less attention has probably (been paid to this office than any of the county offices. Mr. Scott has done his work in a thoroughly wdrkmanlike manner and has proven to be competent in every way. Jasper county voters could not vote for a better man for this position at the November elec- -■> tion.

CHARLES V. MAY. -Candidate for county clerk, was born in Jasper county, near Remington, June Bth, 1867, and is therefore 49 years of age. Prior tp his election as county treasurer Mr. May resided on a farm southeast of Remington and is thoroughly acquainted with a practical knowledge of both agricultural and business affairs, s(n d no one is better qualified than this man for the position of custodian of the public funds. EDGAR D. NESBITT Candidate for county surveyor on the republican ticket, is a young man, having been bom in Grant county, Indiana, May 3, 1885. Mr. Nesbitt has made many friends during his past two years in this county and is a young man of excellent character, deserving of the backing of the voters. Mr. Nesbitt graduated from both Purdue and Cornell Universities in civil engineering, the former in 1910 and the latter in 1911. He received an appointment from the government to help settle the international boundary between Panama and Costa Rica in 1912. In 1913 Mr. Nesibitt was ‘employed by the American Brdige Co., of Gary, and a year later came to Rensselaer, where he has been employed as an assistant ,at times to County Surveyor Myrt B. Price.

JESSE NICHOLS Candidate for county clerk, was bom in Barkley towmship, Jasper county, Aug. 21, 1871, and has sided in Marion towmship for 21 years. Mr. Nichols need not be introduced to the voters as he is practically known by everyone in the county. For the past few years Mr. Nichols has been superintendent of the. county farm, and during this time .as discharged his duties in a very competent manner. Mr. Nichols’ familiarity with public affairs makes him an ideal candidate for the position to which he asplresy ~ D. S. MAKEEVER Candidate for county commissioner of the second district, was bom in Jasper county 47 years ago and resides in Newton township now. Mr. Make ever is a farmer and proud of the fact, and is an earnest worker for the good of the county. As a commissioner he can be depended upon to guard the interests of the taxpayers,, to practice economy and save a dollar wherever possible. Sfr. Makeover’s past record should serve to justify the voters in keeping him in office.

HENRY W. MARBLE Candidate for commissioner from the first district, is a resident of Wheatfield township. Mr. Marble is a successful farmer and banker, and is Veil acquainted with county affairs, a man whose business ability is recognized throughout l the county, and just the man needed to fill this important position. v BEN D. McOOLLY. Maybe his front name is Benjamin, we don’t know, but he i£ known as Ben to the voters of Jasper county, who have seen fit to put him in office for a term <*f four years and expect

removed Indiana from the list of doubtful states. Certainly it is safely republican compared with Ohio. The democrats realize this and are bending every effort to the recovery of lost ground. The Indiana farmers are strong advocates of a protective tariff and for that reason alone are little subject to temptation to foreswear their republican allegiance. There is also a large German vote jn Indiana, the greater part of which will go to Hughes.
