Battery Men at Lafayette Are Up to the Fans.

The managers of the Brooklyn Nationals and the Boston Americans, who clash in an exhibition game at Lafayette on next Monday, have granted the fans the right to select the battery men for the game.

The pitcher and catcher receiving the highest number of votes in each paper will work for their respective teams. Fans throughout this section are talking of attending the game and a number from this city have signified their intentions of attending. The teams will “arrive in Lafayette from Peoria, 111., at 1 o’clock. Preceding the game there will be a parade. Marquard, of Brooklyn, and Ruth/ of Boston, lead in the choice for pitchers so far.

A GOOD FRIEND

A good friend stands by you when in need. Rensselaer people tell how Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood the test. Mr. Magee endorsed Doan’s over eight years ago and again confirms the story. Could you ack for more convincing testimony? Landy Magee, Rensselaer, says: “I suffered from a lame back and had such severe pains across my loins that I could hardly move around, I couldn’t sleep or rest well. My kidneys were weak and too active and the secretions were highly colored. I doetored and used several different medicines, but nothing seemed to relieve me until I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured at B. F. Fendig’s Drug Store. The backache and pains in my loins soon left and the kidney secretions became natural. I haven’t suffered from any of these troubles since.” (Statement given May .31, 1907.) On February 29, 1916, Mr. Magee said: “Don’s Kidney Pills are still my standby. I think they are a great medicine and I am never with-* cut them in the house." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mr. Magee has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

A battery washed out and fitted with new insulation at this time of the year is the best insurance against trouble during the coming season. The Vesta station does this at city prices. We have city equipment.— Rensselaer Garage.

Gillam Township Organizes A Farmers Club.

At a meeting held in the East Vernon school house Wednesday evening, the Gillam Township Farmers’ Club Was formed. County Agent Learning presided and after he had outlined the object of the meeting J. P. Deselms took the floor and stating that an organization in which the people of the community could meet and mingle in a social way at stated inter vals would fill a much needed want. In the course of his remarks he brought out the idea that the people of a township are not as well acquainted with each other as they might be and that a club would help them to be more neighborly. He gave the idea his hearty endorsement. J, H. Giuld was the next speaker and emphasized the fact that a club could be of great value in an educational way. Fanners meeting together could convey to the other club members ideas that they had worked out on their own farms. They could also co-operate to take bettef advantages of the offers iby the state and county agricultural extension forces. He stated that the farmers of Pulaski county had been co-operating with their county agent for five years and in that time Pulaski county had maue more real progress than Jasper had in the last twenty. He was heartily in favor of such an organization and asked to help form it. A committee upon constitution was appointed and the following officers were elected: President, J. H. Guild; vice president, J. J. Shea; secretary, J. P. Des- i elms; treasurer, Max Coppess. Program committee, Mrs. Cramer, Mj-s. Deseims, Mearde Rayburn, Carl Toyne. . 2 F. J. Pipal was introduced and gave a practical demonstration of the value and methods of treating seed oats for smut. Four men in the locality were selected who will treat part of their seed oats but will leave a part untreated as a* check and meetings will be arranged at the proper time before cutting that the neighborhood may observe the The next meeting of the club will be held in the East Vernon school on Wednesday evening, April 18th. Everyone in the township is invited to attend, women and children as well a& the men. .

Next Sunday, Palm Sunday, the following will be the order of service: First mass at 7:30. The Holy Name Society and the Christian Mothers’ Sodality will receive holy communion at this mass. The blessing of the palms, highmass and sermon at 10. At 2:3® Chritsian doctrine, lenten devotions and benediction. The Holy Name Society will meet at 7:30. With Palm Sunday Holy Week begins and it is so named because in this week the church celebrates the mysteries of the passion of our Lord by imposnig ceremonies and unusual solemnity. This week should be kept holy by every true follower of Jesus Christ. It should be observed, as much as possible, with recollection and prayer. It was on Holy Thursday that the Blessed Encharist was instituted and Holy Communion given for the first time. Hence, nothing would be more fitting than for all who are able to receive on Holy Thursday. Then would the prayers of the people be more worthy of a hearing at the Repository; then could the people enter better into the spirit of Good Friday and gain the many indulgences which are obtainable on that day. By beginning Holy Week with the proper spirit, and persevering in prayer and recollection throughout the week, people would be disposed to make a very earnest confession. The best surety of immeasurable spiritual joys on the feast of the resurrection.

Congress to Decide Upon Action Taken With Germany Soon.

Washington, March 28.—1 t was learned definitely today that the American government has no knowledge of any development likely to come before congress convenes which would change the present situation between the United States and Germany. ' • If Germany contemplates any sort of peace move, or has considered abandoning submarine ruthlessness, or if any other nation has a step in mind designed to alter the present international status, the government is without information on the subject. Except for information concerning German" plots against American interests, it was leared, the public in a -general way knows as much as the givemment about everything directly affecting the present crisis. President ~Wiinon today continued conferences with his advisers preparatory to writing the address he will deliver to congress next week.- ——- The administration is said to be chiefly concerned at present with the fonn of action to be taken ..by congress recognizing that Germany is with preparedness measures.

Major George H. Healey Makes Appeal at Monticello.

Monticello Herald. Major George H. Healey, of the Indiana National Guard, was in the city Tuesday on business connected with the local militia company and while here gave an interview to the Herald for publication. Major Healey has had quite a little military experience and we think has a correct conception of the present military problem in the United States. The interview is well worth serious consideration by the young men of the country, in fact, by all who appreciate the full meaning of American citizenship. The interview is as follows: Apathy is endangering our nation. Trustfulness and smug complacency have controlled us far too long and now when we are confronted, with grave dangers the extent of which we dare not imagine, it is difficult to arouse our people to the realization of the possible consequences. Practically every thinking person is in favor of universal military service. They realize that the opportunities and blessings of citizenship being equal, that the responsibilities should also be equal. They approve taxation that is based upon a fair valuation of holdings and agree that the man who has the most of this

world’s goods needs the most protection, but they see too often the protection furnished by those who have responsibilities instead of property. There can be but one answer and that is the awakening of a nation to the proper provision for the training of all and the employment of those who can best serve when the crisis comes. Now the crisis is at hand and there fias been no provision. And still “a confiding people decline to place themselves in training. The barn door is unlocked. The owner sleeps. In all probability the call will come some day for the service of Company C and probably for it to be recruited up to war strength. Then young men will respond, but they might as well have had considerable training before the call. Training that would be of great importance to them and .valuable to the country. Let me make a fervent appeal to the loyalty of parents and to their reasoning to have their sons at once make a pledge of service and at once begin training. It is only anticipating an action certain to be provided when congress reconvenes and there is no telling what may transpire in the meantime. It is proving that you measure up to a duty of citizenship without waiting for measures of compulsion. Last year I worked with energy and was loyally supported by many good citizens in the reorganization of the local militia company and the result was that Company C measured up to a very high standard in its border service. Let the work of recruiting it start at once and may every patriot come to the front NOW with the assistance needed to accomplish the result. There will never be regret in the performance of any national duty. If the duty is clear, the response should be immediate. Maj. George H. Healey.

Jury Disagrees For Second Time In Crump Case.

After being out almost twentv hours, the jury in the Crump murder caes at Fowler failed to agree and they were dismissed by Special Judge Wason shortly before Tuesday noon. The failure of the jury to agree was expected by those who have watched the case carefully and no surprise was expressed when the disagreement was announced. The jury received their instructions about four o’clock Monday evening and began their deliberations at once. The first ballot is said to have stood six to six and stood this way until midnight, when one juror- turned oVef“tb the acquittal side. Toward morning another deserted the ones for conviction and the count stood eight to four. There was no change from this until dismissed by Judge Wason. <>» This was the second time Jesse Crump Was tried for the alleged murder of his neighbor, Donald McGregor, the jury disagreeing in the first trial also. It is presumed that the charge a W’Tft "be by the state and the disagreement would mean the same to him as an acquittal. Crump i s at liberty under bond until the caSe is finally disposed of.

Wets Win Victory In Illinois Legislature.

Illinois wets wpn a decisive victory in the Illinois legislature. They killed the state-wide prohibition referendum bill, slew the residential district local option bill and the bone dry anti-shipping bill that would have prohibited the shipments of liquor into anti-saloon townships, and even refused to create a dry zone around the Dixon epileptic colony. The drys still have a county option bill to be introduced. Had it been on the calendar Wednesday it probably would have been slaughtered right along with the rest of thb measures. The probabilities are that there will be no further attempt at this session to enact either wet or dry legislation. ..- ' _

62 Oil Deputies Bereft Of Jobs By Court Order.

Indianapolis, March 28.—As a result of the issuance in federal court here today of a preliminary injunction restraining the enforcement of the Indiana oil inspection law, on the ground that it is unconstitutional, Carl H. Mote, recently appointed state oil inspector to succeed John O. Behymer, of Tipton, announced this evening that he would wind up the affairs of his office as soon as possible and then resign. The oil inspector and his deputies, by the court’s ruling, are barred from inspecting oil or collecting fees pending final settlement of the suit. No contest is expected. . The oil inspector’s office was the center of a oentest in the last session of the general assembly, when an attempt of the republicans to abolish the office was defeated. Action against the law was brought by oil companies of the state, who cited the United States supreme court’s decision on what is known as the Maryland oyster law, as the controlling factor of the oil inspection law case.
