Khaki Arm Bands For ‘Registration Honor.

With a view to singling out, by special mark of honor, those men who register, under the selective draft law, on June 5 th, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States through its various branches and the National Committee of Patriotic and Defense Societies. through all their affiliated groups) have- definitely decided to use the cotton khaki colored arm band and to depend upon local patriotism and initiative in each town to provide them and to make suitable arrangements for distribution at the polls for every- man -registering. Enough arm bands should be provided to insure one for every man registering. Factories where sewing machines are used will undoubtedly Contribute to their city’s expression of honor by utilizing their forces for hemming the bands. Where factories are not available the aim bands can be made by women’s organizations. Any khaki colored cloth will answer the' purpose. The material should be cut 3 inches wide by 18 inches long: inis when hemmed all around will make a finished band about 2 inches iwide and 17 inches long. Wherever it is possible to arrange for this badge of honor, publicity should be given to the plan through the press. A committee should be stationed at each polling place to pin the arm band on men as they register.

THREE PERSONS FACE BOTTLEGGING CHARGE

Dan and Chase Day and Johnny Rowen Arrested On the Charge of Bootlegging. * i Sheriff B. D. McColly, in company with Marshal Robinson, arrested Dan and Chase Day, sons of Hiram Day, and Johnny Rowen, of this city, following an affidavit which was filed by a local party, stating that booze had been Secured from the parties. A search warrant was secured by the officers and the homes of the three men were searched with the result that quite a little booze and beer was found. At the home of Dan Day, who, lives with his mother in the northeast part of ; town, a bottle of whiskey was found., which the officers tooki Dan did not seem to mind the arrest but hated to let go of the whiskey. At the home of Chase Day, just east of the Snedeker grocery, 13 bottles of beer and a little whiskey was found and taken by the officers as evidence. At Bowen’s house just north of the track, two quarts of Barleycorn were found.

Following the arrest of the .men. two of them, Dan Day and Rowen, were lodged in jail by the sheriff and at a hearing before Squire W. I. Spitler the bond of each was placed at S2OO. Rowen was unable to furnish bond and is still boarding with the sheriff. Dan and Chase were allowed to go when their father, Hiram Day, furnished their bond. The officers have been watching these three men for the past several weeks and it has been common talk that all three were in the boot-legging * business,, but it seemed that no direct evidence against them could be procured, although their homes were much of the time, and it was not until the Rensselaer party came forward, swearing to the affidavit that the officers were able to arrest them. , Chase Day arranged for bond and was not forced. io go to jail at all. The trial will come up immediately after the - Stockton perjury trial l is disposed of next week.

BABY BOY ABANDONED BY ITS PARENT

Left On the Doorstep of Frank Shide Home in Market Basket—No Clew to the Owner. Some time during the early part of Thursday evening a baby boy, apparently about a week old, was left on the front doorstep of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Shide’s home, who reside near the Rensselaer Lumber Co., just north of the Monon tracks. The little fellow was lying in a market basket wrapped in some old clothing when found. No clew has been obtained as to the identity of the party leaving it and so far the clothes in which he was wrapped have given no light on the question, although there is a chance that they may be identified. The party who left the youngster drove to the front of the house in an automobile and walking cautiously to the front door of the Shide home knocked and then hurriedly made their getaway to the waiting automobile and sped away. Mt. Shide at the time had retired for the night and Mrs. Shide answered the door. At first the presence of the baby was not discovered and she was-perplexed. Finally, however, hr eye caught sight of the market baskt in which, some thing was moving about and which gave out a little wail. The same automobile had previously driven to the home where Mr. and Mrs. Shide had formerly resided so that the parties, whoever they may be, knew with whbm thqy were leaving the child. The little fellow was taken into the home and -given the most, tender care. Mr. and Mrs. Shide have decided to keep the child.

FAN FODDER.

LOOK OUT MAY LOSE COMPAEY M

Company Must Be Recruited to War Strength or New Company Will Take Its Place.

Young men of Jasper county, it is up to you to preserve Company M and keep it dn the Indiana National Guard.; If the young men of this county pre-j fer volunteering bo conscription; if they would rather soldier with their friends and neighbors than take the. chance of being sent to fill out units’ in far parts of the country, it’s up to them, and thedr chance is to enlist in, Company M -prior to the day for registration, June sth. If the fathers and mothers of Jas--per county have sons subject to military service and prefer to see them go to the front with a company of home soldiers, who will very likely be.

together during the entire term of service, a company officered by home men, it’s up to them to see to it that the boys enldst in Company M and not wait to be conscripted. There are other companies in the same plight as the one from this city. Monticello is in danger of losing her company also, says the Journal, which has made an appeal to all to put* forth every effort to recruit the company of that place to the maximum war strength (before registration day. White county is getting more recruits than Jasper and Company C of Monticello has 108 men, many more than Captain Tuteur has at his command. 150 is war strength and a sweep through White county is being made for new recruits, with quite satisfactory results. The Journal is superintending the movement for new men. An' excellent appeal has been made through the columns of that paper anditisexpected that the other fbrty-tiwo men will be secured. It would be a- calamity if Rensselaer was to lose her company after it has been in the guard for so long. While on the border it was recognized as one of the most efficient organizations there, the only drawback being that it did not have as many men m some. If the local company is disbanded the men will be sent to fill out other units and would be itt the service among strangers, which would not be nearly so-satisfactory as serving with one’s own friends. If the people of this city and couiity are proud or the company which represented them on the border last year they should make every effort to see to it that the standard it has attained should not be allowed to fall. The fact is, it is up to all of us to save Cd. M for the heads of the guard organization of the state have left no doubt as to their ultimate intentions and the course of procedure that will be taken with companies who are riot recruited to full strength. New companies are waiting to take the places of companies lost through failure to secure enough men. There is no use to mince words. - • Unless Co. M gets her required number of men before June 5, there will be no Co. M in the war from this county. The following letter ha* been sent out iby the adjutant general, a copy of which is in the possession of Captain Tuteur: “■Captain H. B. Tuteur, Rensselaer,lnd.: Your attention is directed to the importance of recruiting your organization to the maximum strength with the least possible delav. This office has authority to organize new organizations, but new units will not be recognized by the federal government until the old . units are at war strength. "Numerous companies are being organized throughout the state and some of these are now practically at full strength. If old units cannot be recruited to the desired strength in their respective communities, it is

Harry Moore Again to Try For Annapolis.

.. Harry Moore, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Moore, and a member of this year’s graduating class, will again attempt to gain- entrance into the naval academy at Annapolis, Md. Harry was appointed through Will R. Wood recently and made the trip to Annapolis, where he failed to pass the physical test. Mr. Wood has not appointed Mr. Moore » « principal, which entitles him to another chance. He toss passed a physical test given by a local physician and will go to Lafayette on June 17 to take the mental examination, and providing he is successful in the butter he will be allowed to go to- Annapolis, where he must undergo a rigid physical test. The latter test wftl occur about the first of July and success to this year’s test means that he will be allowed to enter the school for a four years’ course, after which he is given the rank of ensign and permitted to stay in the service if he so desires.
