The exposition will this year enlarge upon jts educational work and an effort will be made to offer much additional helpful information in new apd original forms to all who attend the show.

Lyceum Course Announcement.

The lyceum course, under the auspices of the churches of Rensselaer, will be held again this year? The committee selected the course last spring and the dates have just been arranged. It has been the purpose of those in charge to select a course which seems to suit the majority of the people. The treasurer’s book shows that as a rule, musical numbers draw the largest audiences. Consequently, it was deemed advisable to have three musical numbers and two lecturs on this year’s course. Further announcements will ba made in this paper when the advertising material arrives.

Honan, of Atlanta, Ga., and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Vanatta, of Fowler.

/Two members of the Lincoln Chautauqua bureau were in Rensselaer today conferring with the local committee relative to the visit of the Chautauqua in Rensselaer again next summer. The two men state that they think satisfactory arrangements can be made for the return of the Lincoln company to this city in 1917. Indications at this time are favorable. It is probable that the ministers of the Rensselaer* churches will take charge of the local affairs and arrange to have the company back here. It was at first the intention not to give any definite action until the first of December, at least. ■' x

SECRETARY OF WAR REBUKED—NOT BY WILSON ROT BY AMERICA

The following -is part of an editorial which appeared in. the “New York American” of October 26: We have no words to express the indignation we feel that there could have been found a man in the cabinet of the president of the Un ted States who would put on the same level the objects for which our fathers fought and the objeets for which the murderous and thieving bandit chiefs of Mexico are devastating their )wn unhappy country. . Washington and Carranza! Jefferson and Villa! Franklin and Zapata! An American secretary of war to link those names together! God save the mark! Why, man, you are indecent. You

Initials of Artist May Stop The Coinage of New Dimes.

Washington, Oct. 30.—Treasury officials of the designer of the new dime, put in circulation today for the first time, shall be eliminated and coinage suspended temporarily, as was done in the case of the original Lincoln 1-cent piece. On the face of the dime the initials of the artis‘t, A. Weinman, appear prominently in monogram.

While there is no law governing the question, the treasury department ordered the letters off under its ruling that no advertisement shall appear upon any coin. In all SIBO,OOO-worth of the new coins have been. minted.

THE BATTLE CRY OF THE NEW FREEDOM

(With Apologies to George Frederick Root.)

[Copyright: bv John T McCutcheon.]

insult the dead! And that is the very nadir and abyss of indecency. You should resign, Mr. Baker. The president should demand your resignation, sir! . Mr. Baker, these Mexican bandits, whom you place side by side with Washington and his comrades in arms, have done these things, among other horrid cruelties: r_ They have poured kerosene over the wounded victims of* trains they have wrecked, and put fire to that, and shouted with laughter at the screoms of the tortured and dying. They have entered convents and there ravished with unprintable excesses of lust the nuns whose simple lives were given only to deeds of religion and charity.

Where Does Rensselaer Come? We Haven’t Lost Yet.

The following article, under Hammond date line, is'taken from the Indianapolis Star. Since Rensselaer has not lost a game this season the article appears to be quite a joke to us. Why should Rensselaer be overlooked when talking of northern titles? “Hammond, Ind., Oct. 31. —The high school football situation in northern Indiana is becoming more involved with the playing of each week’s games. The defeat of Elkhart by East Chicago Saturday, coupled with South Bend’s over Hammond, leaves the victors in these two games and Gary as the logical contenders for the title in this end of the statp. But to complicate matters, each df these three teams have been beaten by mediocre teams that are hopelessly out of the race. Barring a tie game, Gary or South Bend will be eliminated next Saturday when these two teams meet at South Bend. The teams are not as strong in this end of the state as they were last year, but there seems to be more men of all-state caliber than ever before. Gourley, tackle, Rensselaer; Kneisley, tackle? Gary; Thomas of East Chicago and Mohn of South Bend as back field men, all were members, of last year’s all-state selections afid are playing better ball than ever this season. Szold of Gary, Hickman, of Hammond, O’Donnell, of South Bend, and McQuown, of East Chicago, are showing up well .s consistent ground gainers.”

Store Burglars Continue Operations; Fired Upon.

Burglars, supposed to be the same ones that operated at Francesville and Morocco recently paid a visit to Mulberry, Ind., near Lafayette, Sunday night,\ where they broke into three stores in the downtowdi district, where they were fired upon but escaped in an automobile. The stolen car was found at Lafayette. The robbers got about S3O in cash.

South Chin? has nb railroads.

When the sword is at our throat, he will write a little note, Shouting the cry of watchful waiting, For he kept us out of war, boys, he kept us out of war. Shouting the ery of watchful waiting. Let your hearts with rapture burst as we sing of • safety first, Shouting the cry of watchful waiting, When the hated foreign foes walk around upon our toes, We’ll shout the cry of watchful waiting.

They have seized the daughters of American parents and outraged them for hours in the sight of their fathers and mothers, and then slain parents and daughters together. They have amused themselves by burying victims alive, leaving only their heads exposed, and waiting till night to enjoy their shrieks, when the wolves came to gnaw them to death. Mr. Baker, how dare you compare our fathers and our fathers’ cause and our fathers’ deeds with the cause and deeds of these most abominable and abandoned villains, these robbers, torturers and murderers of the helpless women and babes? Resign your office, sir! Resign for decency’s sake;

A letter received from the advance, man of the Pine Village football team states that they will play the Wabash A. A. at Lafayette on Sunday, Oct. 12th. / The above two teams recently fought a scoreless draw at Wabash and this game should be one of the best of the season as both teams have strengthened since that game. In order to give Rensselaer fans a chance to get the choice of the seats, the advance man will come to Rensselaer a few days before the game and will be at the Makeever hotel, where you may obtain tickets for the game. The Villagers play at Fort Wayne Sunday.

G. O. P. Majority in Next House Placed at Not Less Than 27.

Washington, Oct. 31.— A republican majority in the next house of at least 27 is predicted in a statement issued here tonight by Representative Wood of lowa, chairman of the republican congressional Campaign committee. Mr. Wood also declares Hughes will be elected by a satisfactory majority and that the republicans have better than an even chance of controlling the senate.

“These figures are not a ( j mere guess,4 says the statement. “They constitute a summary of the final reports made to this committee to date by hundreds of careful, experienced workers who sent their information, not with the idea of making as flattering «a report as possible, but in order to give the exact situation in their respective communities on the eve of election. I am confident of the soundness of my information and therefore say that there isjrpractical certainty of the election Mr. Hughes and a republican house and better than a fifty-fifty prospect of republican control of the senate.”

Here Is Good News If It Only Turns Out True.

Northern Indians, schooled in woodcraft, through the signs streams and forest, see a' kindly, softened winter and their labors thus lessened. They will not go to any great shakes to have their squaws build warm wigwams, they say. The Indians base their belief on the light corn crop and the scarcity and laziness of the squirrels at this time, when they should be filling their tree caches. In addition, the muskrats are dilatory in building their habitations, the fur bearing animals have thin coats now, when they should be fitting out ’n their thickest overcoats, and bark on trees is loose.

Twenty-one members have reported for the new band that is being organized by Prof. Wolfe and the outlook for a finer and better band next summer is fine. The management states that new members wishing to join should do so before next Monday, as this is the time they have chosen as the last night for candidates to report. The St. Augustine's church ladies will give a supper this evening at the parochial school hall. The members of the church are contemplating he erection of a fine new Catholic churehto be built on the southeast corner of the Catholic blcck, probably next year, if they feel that they can afford to do so at that time. The edifice will cost in the neighborhood of $50,000. Masqueraders were out in force last night and presented a very grotesque appearance, and there was no closed season on merriment. It was probably the best hallowe’en demonstration ever given here. A comparatively small amount of vandalism was indulged in, in comparison with former years. Several parties were given and the evening passed off quietly. ;
