The Home Economics Club and the Musicale Matinee were guests of the Ladies’ Literary Club at their anniversary day meeting at the M. E. church Friday aftemooin ; ——- Mrs. M. D. Gwin presided. Mrs. J. J. Hunt gave the introductory address. Migs Marjorie Loughridge sang two vocal numbers and Mrs. M. D. Gwin three organ selections as a prelude to the federation day program which followed. This was given by the three delegates to the state federation: Mrs. Adelibert Eib, of the Home Economics Club! and Mesdames E. J. Randle’and W. R. Parkinson, of the Ladies’ Literary. Each gave a very interesting report. We feel that these reports would be of interest to every reader of The Republican, for they represent the thought of persons of state and nation wide reputation. We have asked the ladies who gave these reports to allow them to be published and they have kindly consented to do so and they will be published in the order in which they were given.

TROOPS WILL LEAVE ABOUT DECEMBER

Telegram Received By Major Healey From Lieut. Tuteur Says Troops Are Starting On Hike.

That the members of Company M will not arrive in Rensselaer before another month at least was the news furnished today by Lieut. C. Arthur Tuteur, through a telegram sent to Major George H. Healey here. Lieut. Tuteur stated that the regiment, which has been ordered home, was just ready to start on a two weeks’ hike and that this would be gone through with as per schedule; consequently the troops would not get to leave Llano Grande for Fort Harrison for about three weeks yet. They are to leave immediately after the completion of the hike, but another week will have been consumed before they reach the Fort at Indianapolis. At least another week would be necessary in checking them up and preparing to send them to their homes, so it may easily be*seen that it will be after the middle of December before the Rensselaer boys are home. Lieut. Tuteur says that everyone is happy over the prospect of their return to Rensselaer and that everything was fine and dandy. The regiment, commanded by Col. Aubrey L. ’Kuhlman, of Auburn,..lnd.', has been on the border since July 12 and since that time they have gone through military training which has made of them a strong organization, well prepared for a campaign o£ active service. * The Third Indiana has been sent home because it was the first Indiana organization to reach the border.

Gary and Sheridan High In Football Clash.

Gary high school, claiming the football Championship of northern Indiana high schools, meets Sheridan, the southern champions, at the former place this Saturday afternoon. Sheridan is the team that Rensselaer high school is scheduled to meet in the opening curtain raiser at Purdue next Saturday and the outcome of their clash with Gary will be watched with interest. Sheridan has played and won six games this year, and the record of Gary is almost as good, but they* have met with defeat. Gary’s claim that they are the northerschampions will meet with much objection by some other schools in this section who have just as good a record, ‘Rensselaer included.

California Fears Loss of Electoral Vote for Wilson.

San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 17.—The possibility of long legal fights tying up California’s electoral vote was raised today as one phase of the semiofficial tally b ycounties and the state official tally by counties and the state of which are proceeding slowly. The issue that a recount involving appeals—with the possibility that the presidential election would be decided without California’s ballots —was raised by the democrats in Los Angeles following a republican threat of court action in one precinct. In San Francisco the republican state committee has SIO,OOO which can be useden legal action. Two local precincts may be contested wheie more ballots were cast that the number of voters who signed the lists. Only minor changes are reported in the partially competle semi-official county ballot tallies. Concord, N. H., Nov. 17.—Philip H. Faulkner, chairman of the republican state committee, filed a petition today lor a recount of the New Hampshire vote for president. He acted in the capacity of attorney for the Hughes electors, he stated.

Election of City Officials Next Political Business.

Politics is a continuous performance. • People who thought there would be a year’s surcease from the strenuous work of e,ecting to office may disabuse theft minds. City officers are to be elected next year and the nomination will be made fn March. The winter will be filled with political expectancy and guessing. In Rensselaer there will be a mayor, clerk, treasurer, one councilman from each ward and two councilmen at large to elect. The primary election will be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in Mardh, 1917. There have been, up to this time, no formal announcement for any of the offices by either party.

Monticello May Have New Depot Next Year.

Monticello Journal. Railroad officials who have been passing through the city, have been dropping hints that Monticello may expect a new Monon station next summer* There has been no definite promise, but Monticello people have been assured that their new station will follow Monon’s, which was recently completed, and next summer has Keen suggested as a possible time for the beginning of the construction of the new building.

Local people will greet the news with relief and approval, as the present Monon station would hardly coincide with the city beautiful idea. Besides beihg old and unattractive, the building is too small for the amount of business transacted, and the Monon company will probably find it advisable, from the viewpoint of their own profits, to construct a larger and more commodious building.

Get Together Meeting of H. M. S. at Monticello.

An all day get-together meeting was held at Monticello Thursday by the Women’s Home Missionary societies of the district. Delegates were present from Fowler, Rensselaer, Lee, Delphi, Francesville and Monticello. Miss Olive Dunlap, a field worker of the society, was the principal speaker. Luncheon was served at noon. Mrs. F. A. Hemphill, of Rensselaer, read a paper on “Children’s and Young People’s Work.”

Here’s Two More Teams Playing For Title.

A dispatch from South Bend states that the high school team of that place and Elkhart high are playing today (Saturday) for the northern Indiana high school title in football. Neither team has been defeated and the winner will be looked upon as the title holder. Seem® as if this disease of playing for titles is chronic. In the same column of the paper is an account telling of Gary claiming the northern title and playing Sheridan for the state championship.

Coal Shortage May Close State Capitol.

Governor Ralston and state officials at a conference considered plans to provide coal for the state house heating plant. An Indianapolis company under contract, asserts it is unable to meet the demand. The amount on hand will not last over a day and unless fuel is obtained from other sources it may be necessary to close thfe capitol, as only a few of the offices are supplied with grates.

The new dimes, the minting of which was recently started by the United States, are getting more generally circulated now and Jihffyjiave made their appearance in Renfeelaer.

DOINGS IN OUR SISTER TOWN OF REMINGTON

Interesting Items Taken From Last Issue of the Remington Press.

Hard on Publishers.—The high cost of living has nothing on the high cost of print paper, and we are told that another boost of that commodity is to be had after January first. In one neighborhood eight newspapers were forced to suspend publication because the publishers could not conduct them without a loss.

Lost Their Skunks. —Some lads :n the country north of town had some fine polecats which they had trapped and were feeding, preparatory to marketing them. The other night some fellow without fear of the Lord or the high smelling qualities of the local skunk, opened the cage in which they were confined and took them all away. The neighbors feel mighty bad about the boys losing their hides, and assume that they know who the culprit is.

P. M. AH Smiles.—About the “smiliest” man in Remington these days is Dennis O'Riley and his daughter, Helen. In the result of the Section we can see a continuance of the excellent postoffice service that has been our portion for the past two years and more. When it comes to being right down accommodating with a big “A”, Dennis and his daughter are right on the job. For their sake we can almost rejoice over the result.

Hodshire Gets Big Contract.—Contractor Frank Hodshire, who (has the contract for the new M. E. church here,"Sas just bid off another good, fat job. Frank seems to have the faculty of getting the fat jobs, anyhow. This time he has the contract for the new addition to the Chicago Thread Mills at Monticello now owned and managed 'by Marshal Field <4 Co. The addition to the present factory will require an expenditure of $30,000.

Brother Cannot Land.—Bobby Burns left Wednesday evening for New York'City, where he will asai3t in getting his brother free from Ellis Isle. The young man arrived in New York from England on Tuesday or Wednesday and has been held up by the British Consul, for what reason has not been stated. The young man has been refused three times admission to the army, and it is possible that the consul is holding him because he thinks the man would make good cannon fodder.

Roosters Crow.—lt’s not very often that the democracy of Remington has anything to crow about, and this year is no exception. That they won out on presidents of itself a big thing for the democratic party, but his plurality of election is so small that there is really very little to crow ahout. Yet every democratic paper in this vicinity has had a big rooster on its first page in the act jf crowing its head off. However, they should be allowed to feel good while they can.

Burned Uncle Sam.—The democratic victory was properly celebrated at Remington Tuesday night. There was the usual big fire and torch light procession composed of a few men, a few girls and more boys. Great noise and suggestive banners accompanied the parade. After the demonstration the figure of the dead elephant was thrown into the fire and lastly that of Uncle Sam and his wrappings of bunting. This created quite a feeling among patriotic Americans, whose Dutch “riz” right up, in spite of them. There may have been reason for the burning of the elephant, but we cannot see an jf in the destruction of the image of Uncle Samuel.

Puppy Love.—Two young girls, merely kids, 14 or 15 years of age, were overheard outside the Press office window. One was giving the other fits for being out with a young man she was sweet on. After she had vented her ire on the young lady who had interfered with her fellow, bhe other was heard to say: “I would not have done it for the world, and honest to God, kid, I didn’t know he was your ‘steady.’ ” Upon which the first girl made reply: “Well, you know it now and if you ‘butt in’ again there will be etc., etc.” and we didn't hear the rest.

Petition Withdrawn for Change Of Judge In Recount Matter.

Yesterday afternoon J. H. Chapman, attorney for Mr. Henhman, agreed to dismiss the petition previously filed asking for a recount of the votes for county clerk, provided Mr. Nichols would dismiss hie petition for a change of judge. This was agreed to by Mr. Nichols and later in the afternoon Mr. Hershman filed a new petition asking for a recount. The hearing on the new petition was set for Friday of next week, unless Mr. Nichols waives notice, when the case can be heard at an earlier date. ißorn, Friday, Nov. 17th, to Mr. and Mrs. J. T.

Several interesting football games are carded far the big colleges today, although most of them have no bearing on the championship, as it was thought they would when the schedule makers drew up their schedule last winter. The UlinoiaGhicago clash at Uibana will have no beating on the outcome of the conference race. Wisconsin meets Minnesota at Minneapolis and it was thought by the schedule makers when they selected this date that this game would settle the championship but both teams have met with a reverse. Purdue meets Northwestern and the latter must win to stay in the race with Ohio state, who has not yet lost. Ohio meets Case and it is thought will be but little trouble. I nthe east Yale meets Princeton in what is expected to be the hardest game in the east. Brown collides with Harvard and the latter is taking this game lightly, notwithstanding the fact that Brown has not been defeated. Try a Clasaflod Ad in The Republican.
