TEAMS PRIMED FOR TITLE CLASH

Red and Black Fit For Start A gains Downstate Favorites At Lafayette Tomorrow.

For the past two w*eeks Rensselaer high school’s football team has been working earnestly, with but one obejct in view—that of being in such perfect shape that a triumph over Sheridan high school eleven in the Purdue-Indiana curtain .Miser would jbe their rewal'd. Rensselaer is sched- ! uled to collide with the cream of the downstate schools tomorrow morning on old Stewart Field, at Purdue University, a field where some of the greatest football players who ever stepped into a coated shoe, have i played. , For the past two weeks the local team has been drilled hard by Coach I Meyers and every man is physically fit to give the best in him tomorrow morning. Sheridan has trampled over everything they have met in the downstate section and with the exception of the game they lost at Gary a week ago, have a perfect record. This game tomorrow means much to the winner, for they will have a joint claim to thg state title with Gary. The latter school has a good record for the season, but they have been defeated and wherein they have any better claim than Sheridan or Rensselaer cannot very easily be seen and whenever any other school mentions titles, they ask the impertinent question: “What right have you to be claiming titles?” We are not underestimating the strength of the steel city team and are not saying that they are not deserving of the title, but they cannot have it just because they think they ought to. Gary could have come here Thanksgiving if they had so desired arid played to the largest crowd that they have played before this season, but they declined,, saying it would be on Gain’s field or not at all. Morocco had the same privilege and declined. It is probable that a great number of rooters will accompany the local squad to the Tippecanoe capitol tomorrow morning. The game is scheduled to start at 10 o’clock and the indications are that a large crowd will witness the combat. A cross-country run is scheduled among the universities at 1 p. m., and this is the reason that the high school game is played in the morning.

2,000-Word Presidentia Message Noted For Brevity.

Washington, Ndv. 23. —President Wilson’s annual message to congress, now in the printer’s hands, contains about words and is among the shortest documents of its kind on record. It points out that the reports of the several government departments will be made before congress separately and that, therefore, their details are not’discussed. The president emphasizes the uncompleted legislation on. railroads suggested by him at the last session to meet the threatened railroad strike as the most pressing problem facing congress. He then goes on to a general discussion of other domestic problems.

Mrs. J. A. Swartz came today from Brookston to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Malchow.

How to Be Rid of Disgustig Dandruff

The only way to be permanently rid of disgusting, untidy dandruff is to correct its cause. To destroy the dandruff germ and get rid of dandruff for good, part the hair and apply a little of the genuine Parisian Sage directly on the bare scalp, and rub it in with the finger tips for a few minutes until absorbed by the scalp. You will surely be amazed at the result of even one application, for your hair and scalp will look Jind feel 100 per cent better. Only a few days’ massage with Parisian Sage are needed to destroy the germs that cause the dandruff to for>i. The scalp becomes healthy, the hair will grow better and show more life and vitality, and you need never be troubled by dandruff again. Faded, dull or • lifeless hair is quickly rtestored to beauty by this simple process, which is absolutely harmless and will not stain the hair or make it greasy. Parisian Sage can be obtained from B. F. Fendig and druggists everywhere.

F. P. MEYER MAKES BOW AS ORATOR

Former Rensselaer Boy Gives Talk To the Illinois Shoe Dealers at Meeting Recently. Frank P. Meyer, of Danville, 111., formerly of this city and familiarly known as “Dutch,” made his bow as a public orator recently and made as decided a hit in this line as he has in the shoe business in the city where he is now located. Mr. Meyer was recently electee president of the State Retailers Association and has been honored in many ways by the business men of Danville. Mr. Meyer is a hustler and knows “shoes” from top to bottom. “Shoe Day” was held Tuesday at the Rotary Club meeting, and it was at this time that Mr. Meyer made his bow before his fellow clubmen. Of his speech the Danville News says: “His speech was very interesting, especially so at this time, in view of the fact that the retail market at the present time is showing with some Other lines of business a great change, ‘on account of the war’. Mr. Meyer is president of the Illinois Retail Shoe Association. “While there is considerable skepticism on the part of the people in regard to the war being responsible for prevailing high prices in certain lines, the address of Mr. Meyer will, to the fair minded person, explain partly the unusual change in the shoe market.” Mr. Meyer’s speech was printed word for word in the Danville News, and is a column in length. He showed the development of the shoe business in this country since it was first settled. Mr. Meyer explained the present high price of shoes to the shortage of leather, the shortage being due to the shortage of cattle and horses, from whose hides the leather ig made. The United States does not supply enough hides to even care for herself and is dependent upon other countries, and at the present time, ow’ing to the war, South America is the only place where leather may oe obtained and even with a supply from, that country, the United States dealers face a shortage in leather that is responsible for the prevailing high prices.

Public Meeting Will Be Held On December Ist.

Owing to the fact that there are some other public functions on for this evening, the meeting to determine upon a reception for the members of Company M, when they arrive next month, has been postponed until Friday night of next week, December 1.

Duggan, called the cattle king of South America, is in Lafayette today with a party visiting the Crouch Stock Farm. Mr. Duggan came to this country to be a judge at the International Stock Show which is to be held at Chicago from December 2nd to 6th.

NICHOLS LEADS AS COUNT NEARS FINISH

Recount Drawing Toward Close and Republican Nominee Is Forging Steadily Ahead. The recount of the votes for the county clerk candidates, Hershman and Nichols, continued throughout Thursday and is still going on at the time The Republican went to press. It is hardly probable, however, that the vote will be finished before some time Saturday forenoon. Nichols at the recent election was adjudged the winner by four votes, after he had apparently lost the race to his opponent. Following the declaration that Nichols had won, Mr. Hershman filed a petition for a recount, which was granted. At noon today Mr. Nichols led by fifteen votes, a gain of eleven, but had slipped back until he only led by twelve votes following the count in Marion 4. Five more precincts remain to be counted. In Keener township ten ballots were thrown out as far as the county clerk was concerned, the way they were marked only counted for the head of the • tickets. Six of these that did not count were for Nichols and four of them for HerShman, which netted the latter a gain. of two votes. All of the ballots that were thrown out were mutilated in some way or the voter had failed to vote for either candidate.

The weather turned colder Thursday night as the weatherman had predicted, and the rain turned into snow and today has all the appearance of real winter.
