Don’t fail to consult Mlle. Zara, the palmist and clairvoyant. See big ad. Nine-tenths of all battery trouble is due to short circuits in the battery itself. Eliminate the short circuit and you have lengthened the life of your battery two or three times over. Vesta plates are locked apart, which prevents short circuits. But Vesta goes still further. They are impregnated separators which do not rot nor turn to a soft wood pulp and , fall apart. On top of this the lead plates are hanrdened by the use of titanium, which almost elimiftates sediment, and gives much longer life. These three patented Vesta features, the only important automobile battery improvemente in yerirs, have placed the Vesta in a class by itself. No other battery can be lake the Vesta.— Rensselaer Garage. r Get your trees for spring planting now from Pefly. Every tree guaranteed. ~ .

SENATE PASSES THE WAR RESOLUTION

bate In Which LaFollette Is Fbved—Armed Forces. • > Washington, April 4. —The resolution declaring that a state of ww exists between the United States and Germany was passed in the senate tonight by an overwhelming majorityIt will be taken up for passage in the house tomorrow. * The war resolution was passed by ‘the senate tonight by a vote of 82 to 6. It goes to the house where debate will begun tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock to continue until action is taken. Senators who case the negative votes were Gronna, of North Dakota; LaFollette, of Wisconsin; Norris, of Nebraska; Lane, of Oregon; Stone, of Missouri, and Vardaman,-of Mississippi. The resolution, drafted after consultation with the state department, ami already accepted by the house committee, says the state of war thrust upon the United States Uy Germany is formally declared and directs the president -to employ the entire- military t nd naval forces and the resources of the government to carry on war and bring it to a successful termination.

Action in the senate came just after 11 o’clock at the close of a debate that had lasted continuously since 10 o’clock this morning. The climax was reached late in the afternoon when Senator John Sharp Williams denounced a speech by Senator La Follette as more worthy of Herr von Bethmann-Hollweg than of an American senator. The great crowd was awed by the solemnity of the occasion and sobered by the speeches they had heard. After the vote was announced the senate remained in session only a few minutes.

Washington', April 5. —Two hundred and fifteen United States marines from Haiti and Santo Domingo were landed Saturday in the Virgin Islands, formerly the Danish West Indies, to form the first United States garrison in this newly-acquired island possession- “ ; In peace or war these “Soldiers of the Sea” have ever been first in the protection of American interests and property on land or sea, even before we had an army or navy. Having been stationed ashore guarding American Legations abroad and the naval stations in our many island possessions for years, the garrisoning of the Virgin Islands is no new duty for the Marines.

Simon Feodig, the Wheatfield druggist, is loyal to the core. The foltowing is taken from the North Judson News: “Mr. Fendig, a prominent merchant of Wheatfield, -paid all bills due to a traveling salesman and gave him an order for S3OO more, after which the gentleman got smart and began a tirade on the U. S. Fendig, who is heart, body and soul a patriotic American, could stand it no ton ger. He cancelled his order, took the gentleman by the nap of the neck, hustled him out of the store into the middle of the street and bade him beat it and never return —Good for Fendig.” -—-y— — l .

Goodland Junk Dealer la Stabbed—May Die.

Goodland, Ind., April 4.—Absalom Stevenson, 55, a junk buyer, was per-haps-fatally injured here last night when he was struck in the head with a railroad coupling pin and stabbet with a knife. He accuses Mrs. Pearl Bird as his assailant. Stevenson came here a few months ago from Attica and engaged in the junk business. He was quite successful and it is said had a little money saved up. Last Monday D. K. Bird, his wife, Pearl Bird, and their daughter, Mary Bird, arrived from Attica. They were taken in by Stevenson. A young man from Attica arrived in town yesterday and located the Birds at Stevenson’s home. It is said he came to see Mar- Bird.

When Stevenson found the sitranger at his home he ordered him out. It was then .the fight started'. -Stevenson was struck in the back of the head with the coupling pin and was afterward stabbed in-the back of the neck and in the right leg with a butcher knife. Stevenson was found in a semi-conscious condition and was rushed to the offiec of a physician. At 2 o’clock this morning he had not recovered form-the anesthetic and it is thought that his chances for recovery are very slight. Following the removal of Stevenson the Birds hitched 1 up their horse to a junk wagon and flew. Warrants ‘were issued for them and the marshal started in pursuit. At a late hour this morning they were still at liberty.

Women Have Certain Inalienable Rights.

Our former townsman, Robert Vanatta, now judge at Marion, lnd. x says: “It seems to be an inalienable right of women to about their ages. So I don’t think your wife was cruel when she gave the wrong age when you got your marriage license,” said' Judge Vanatta to Otto Rosenthal, who sought to be l iber ailed from matrimonial ties to Minnie Rosenthal. They were married a year ago and Mrs- Rosenthal gave her age as fifty. The husband said her real age wos fifty-six.

2,000,000 Unmarried Men To Be Called First.

. Detailed pains of the war department for raising an army numbering millions, if it is necessary to .bring the government of the German Empire to terms, were placed in the hands of President Wilson in the form of a bill prepared by the general staff and revised an part by Secretary Baker and the (general officers who are military advisers. If the .present plans are carried through the unmarried men of the country between the ages of 20 and 30 years will be called , out first to undergo a rigid course of training which would embrace a period of a year or so. Presumably the oldest men in the prescribed age limit would be called first for training. These, classes would . yield the smallest number for training, for the percentage of meh to assume family resporisibilities goes up rapidly after 20 years is reached- It will take at Least four months after a training law is passed to enroll the men and at least twelve months thereafter to train them, if the work can be done in that time. Registration of all single men between the fixed ages will ibe a big task. Co-operation of state and municipal authorities may be sought under the plan for state co-operation in the national war measure program being framed by the council of national defense. Probably workers of certain classes whose tabor is vital to maintenance of food and war supplies, will be exempted as a class.

“OLD GLORY.”

I’m not very much for fighting, but I’m not a pacifist gink; I wouldn’t run at the sound of a gun, Nor faint when the sabers clank. Now don’t class me as a braggart, But this I say to you:That when they lick “Odd Glory,” ' They’ll have to lick me, too. It’s your flag and my flag—this old red, white and blue; And it’s waving means a freedom, my friend, for me and youWhile I don’t approve of fighting and I don’t think that you do— Yet when they lick “Old Glory” they’ll have to lick me, too. “Old Glory’s” never met defeat —it’s honorable and true; “ I like its stripes of red and white; it’s starry field of blue. Our fathers fought and bled for it; So when they lick “Old Glory.” they’ll have to lick me, too. —I like -to think of A mertoa as the home of the brave and true; I like io think df America with peace for me and you; But if they’re going to make us fight I’ll say this much to you— That when they lick “Old Glory,” they’ll have to lick me, too. F. E. Heiland, Delphi, Ind.

Meet at Capital Today to Discuss Larger Acreage.

To feed an army in the field, provide food and sustenance for the population remaining athome to do the civilian’s part in a war, and to spare of the overplus something for the hungry mouths of those across the sea who will be our allies in case the United States picks up the gauge of battle thrown down by Germany, will require tin Indiana, if the state does her part, more intensified famming and a larger acreage of crops than the state has ever (before produced. And to .the end that there may bea concerted action and a stimulus to "the production of food in the state, Governor Goodrich has requested that there be a meeting of those particularly interested in grain and live stock production and theedistribution thereof at the state house today. A hurryup call was sent out yesterday for the conference, accompanied by the following statement of the exigency by Gov. Goodrich: “In the face of the greatest shortage in the food, supply this country has. ever known, we are preparing to enter the European conflict. Indiana will supply her quota of men. She must prepare to furnish more than her quota of food. An adequate food supply is the first essential to the support of an army in the field, and the civil population at home. It is necessary to mobilize the agriculture of Indiana that we may plaint a larger acreage, grow larger crops, prevent wastage.”

Red Sox Swat Dodger Hurters in 8 to 5 Win.

About twenty-five from this city attended the baseball game at Stuart Field, Puifiue University, Wednesday between Brooklyn of the National League and Boston of the American League. The American league champs won the game, which wais listless and simply a workout for the fielders, by x a score of Bto 5. Extra basehits were frequent and there was little to stir up the enthusiasm of the crowd. Second taring hurlers were used by both clubs and they did not extend themselves in the least. Robbie used three .men on the hill and Jack Barry trotted out two slabmen. The vote of the Lafayette people iiyregard to slabmen was totally ignored and not a pitcher the fans wanted to see in action was used. Tilly Walker, Boston outfielder, was the stellar light of the day? He had no lees than eight putouts in the field and dumped a pair of the Brooklyn hurler’s offerirtga into the left field bleachers for three base hits. Practical!y all of the stars on the two clubs were on hand and this feature was aboqt the only return the fans got for their money. FoHowingfhe game the two clubs left for Indianapolis, where they wind up their spring series today.

Swes to you in jw new field, professor.—Winamac Democrat.”
