Mayor Spitler Attended State Meeting at Indianapolis.

(Mayor Charles G. Spitler returned, from Indianapolis Thursday evening, where he had attended a meeting of the mayors of the state. The meeting was addressed by Prof. Christie, of Purdue, Governor Goodrich, lion. WiHiam L. Taylor, and others* Our mayor was much impressed by the address given by Mr. Tayler and would be pleased if arrangements could be made to have him make the same address to the people of Rensselaer. If the war is to be of any reasonable duration, one of the greatest world problems will be the food supply. Every spot of ground in the country, towns and cities should be cultivated. Every man, .woman, girl xu* bay. able to.work should toil and help to produce just as much food as* is possible. This should be accomplished under the direction of skilled overseers. To win in this war we must gwe out best men for soldiers and (the rest of us must all work at the tremendous task of supplying them with food.
