New Church Dedication Held at Remington.

It is a matter of public interest that the building enterprise carried forward by the Remington Methodist church came to a successful culmination Sunday, July Ist, when the new building was dedicated free from encumbrance and with appropriate ceremony. The dedication events began with a Men’s Night,.Friday eve., June 29, with a fine musical program by the Julian Family Orchestra, and a banquet at which 160 men were served. The pastor acted as toastmaster and two splendid addresses were given by Rev. B. E. Kirkpatrick, of Greencastle, and Dr. G. Leazenby, of Lafayette. Saturday night was Sunday School Night, which was observed by a picnic in the new church basement and was enjoyed by over 250 members of the Sunday school. Sunday, the dedication day, was marked by a large attendance at all services. A special feature of the morning service was the very fine music rendered by the choir under .the-direction of Miss Helen C. O’Dell. The processional and antiphonal responses were especially enjoyed. After the morning sermon by the Rev. W. D. Parr, of Kokomo, Ind., subscriptions were taken to meet the total expenditures representing about $27,000, which included improvements on the parsonage. $14,000 of this amount had previously been provided for in subscriptions and funds and the balance of $13,000 was secured during the three services of the day. At the close of the evening service the building was dedicated by Dr. W. E. McKenzie, distrist superintendent. The closing number of the dedication events was the Festival of Music Tuesday evening, when the choir, with assistance, rendered a sacred cantata, “The Nazarine,” to a very large and appreciative audience. The pastor, official board and members of this beautiful church are to' be congratulated upon the success they have achieved. Brother Warriner seems to have been the right man in the right place. Being a tireless worker, full of zeal and faith, and a splendid and experienced leader in church building. He had the unanimous support of a strong official board and building committee of fine businessmen. They have voted him a leave of absence to cover any period he desires. The church is one of the best of modern buildings for church purposes. It is Tudor-Gothic in- style and built of Rug-texture brick in a range of color ■with cut stone trim, and Spanish tile roof. The building is 77x93 feet over all, having a commodious auditorium and special provision for all Sunday school department and class work. The interior is finished in light golden oak with art glass in dainty color effects and fresco in a rich harmony in light buff and ivory'tints. The lighting system is the semi-indirect with fixtures in Colonial gold and Varilux glass. The total seating capacity is about six hundred. ,

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1917.

NUMBERS NOT YET CHOSEN

RUMORS THAT SELECTIONS ARE BEING MADE ARE WITHOUT FOUNDATION. Rumors to the effect that the government had started the work of selecting men for the first draft were current throughout the United States Thursday. There was no foundation for the rumor for the government has not yet_£ompleted the task of renumbering/ the registration cards. is supposed to have originated in Peru, 111., on July 4th, by someone looking for excitement. The rumor was snapped up quickly by all who heard it and practically every county in the United States had heard it by Thursday noon. The date for the first draft is to be set today by the war department. Arrangements for the next step toward mobilization of the national army—the exercise of the selection for draft—were taken up Thursday evening at a conference between Secretary Baker and Provost Marshall General Crowder. Mr. Baker has stated that he has not as yet made any announcement as to the date of the first drawing. It has been announced that the drawing will be held in Washington and it is expected a statement covering the method to be followed will be made yet this week. Organization of the local and district exemption board,- the arrangements as to the registration lists in serial numbers and other preliminary work must be completed before the selection machinery can be set in motion.

A statement to the public information committee says this may be done by Saturday, though there is no certainty about it. Reports fcurrent that selection had already been made probably arose from the fact that many boards have numbered their registration cards and in some cases, probably, are already publishing the list as required by regulations. The last district will have to complete this work, however, before selection can begin, as the. administration is determined to leave no loophole for juggling of the serial numbers. It is for this reason that public posting of the lists and the filing of duplicate copies with the provost marshal general has been required in advance of selection. The care with which the numbering of the registration cardsi is being carried out makes it certain'that the drawing will be based entirely upon the numbers. No names will be involved in the actual process of selection which will closely approximate, it is understood, the jury wheel system.

Food Conservation School At Purdue University.

Ml ■■■'■—> In a proclamation to the American people, calling upon them to produce more foodstuffs and to conserve same, President Wilson says : “Every housewife who practices strict economy puts herself in the ranks of those who serve the nation. This is the time for America to correct her unpardonable fault of wastefulness and extravagance. Let every man and every woman assume the duty of careful, provident use and expenditure as a public duty, as a dictate of patriotism, which no one can now expdct ever to be excused or forgiven for ignoring.” The time is here when the women of Indiana must organize in a food conservation drive to save the products: from more than 200,000 gardens and thousands of orchards. These products will be required for home consumption since the canning factory supplies will be required to feed the men in the fields abroad. In order that all possible help may be given to Indiana women in the conservation of food products, a food conservation school will be held at Purdue University July 9-14. This school will be open to all persons of the state who wish to secure help in canning, drying, storage, selection, and other ways of conserving foods. The course of instruction will consist of daily lectures and demonstrations on selection, preparation and

preservation of food; economical clothing; buying home supplies. The school is open to all. There of rooms and boarding places, where o frooms and boarding places, where lodging and board can be obtained at -reasonable prices, will be on file in Agricultural hall. Good hotels are available in the city. Suitable places will be provided for persons to eat lunch if they care to bring this. Organize an automobile party and drive in for a day’s work if you cannot come for the entire week. Every community in Indiana should send one or more representatives to this school. Food shortage and high prices are already prevalent to an alarming extent, arid unless every atom of the present crop is conserved even greater hardshjps are bound to be felt. “Do Your Bit,” and attend this school and carry back the information to your own community.

K. OFC.'S PLAN TO HELP

WEEK OF JULY 22 DESIGNATED AS ONE TO RAISE MILLION DOLLAR WAR FUND. The Knights of Columbus throughout the United States, during the week beginning on July 22, are planning to raise one million dollars, which is to be known as “Campaign Week For The Knights of Columbus Million Dollar War Fund.” The money is to go toward recreation camps at the various cantonments of the country. The sum that the Knights propose to raise is a large one, considering the fact that it will be subscribed entirely by members of the Catholic church. It is certainly a worthy move and there can be no doubt but that it will meet with success.

There will be a meeting of the Bishop Dwenger Council 1881 of this county at the parochial school hall on the evening of July 8, to dovise ways and means of raising their proportionate share and all members of the order are urged to be present on the evening designated. The following is an extract that is contained in a circular letter which is being sent out this week by the local council: “Is there a Catholic heart that would deny assistance to this crying need of our Catholic men who will soon be called to service in the trenches? What greater consolation than to feel that through our small, individual financial sacrifice we will make it possible for our Catholic men to receive Absolution on the eve of battle and also to furnish the sweet consolatidn of religion to jthe dying and wounded.”

Attorney A. D. Babcock was in Rensselaer Thursday looking after some legal matters.
