Mr. and Mrs. George A. Williams left today for their farm near East Liberty, Ohio. Mr. Williams expects to be away for two or three weeks. We do not know what financial returns Mr. Williams is getting from his farm, but undoubtedly the outdoor exercise is a splendid thing for a man whose work regularly keeps him confined inside. We have an idea, however, that the attorney enjoys a substantial return from his Buckeye investment. Be sure she hits on each cylinder and also be sure she hits on Red Cross gasoline. Remember, if she does, that hit helped to take care of our brave boys in the colors; in this way you can help and not miss it.I will leave it to you. lam no hog.

Popular Young Man To Leave Rensselaer.

Gaylord McFarland, who for some time has been a capable and accommodating clerk in the postoffice in this city will leave Wednesday evening for Barberton, Ohio. Mr. McFarland will be the office manager of a new concern just starting there. He will command a salary not only larger than he is now receiving, but larger than he could ever hope to receive in the postoffice department. In his new position he will be associated with a man with whom he had formerly been associated with for two and one-half years. The new company has a splendid financial backing and it enters a field that produces a product which is in very great demand. The company ;s known as the Lignistra Fiber Products Company, and it will manufacture all kinds of special paper products. Mr. McFarland is a young man we can ill afford to lose. He has been a most efficient employe in the postoffice here. Outside he is one of the most popular young men of the town and has a host of -friends who regret that his new work takes him from this city. Not only that, but his going will take from our city - one of the finest young ladies we have here. Both will be greatly missed, but while regretting very much their departure we extend to them Our very best wishes for their future happiness and success.

The first ten days after receiving the bnl® r the sales of waste paper amounted to $1.98. Needless to say, the money goes into the pockets of your Uncle Saip. WHY IT SUCCEEDS Because It’s For One Thing Only, and Rensselaer People Appreciate This. Nothing can be good for everything. ■ _ „ , . Doing thing well brings success. Doan’s Kidney Pills are for one thing only. * For weak or disordered kidneys. Here is 'Rensselaer evidence to prove their worth. Mrs. Guy Hudson, Clark St., Rensselaer, says: 1 . “I had spells of backache and was nearly worn out by the dull constant ache across my'kidneys. I finally got Doan’s Kidney Pills at A. F. Long’s Drug Store and they gave md fine relief. I certainly think they are effective.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Hudson had. Foster-Milburp Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. --

Church Split Reaches Climax When Pastor Batters Down Door.

Warsaw, Ind., July 23.——There has been a serious split among the memthe Warsaw Christian church, one of the strongest in the city, t The controversy reached a clibiax when the Rev. S. R. Hawkins and seventy-five or more adult members who are on his side battered down the front door of the church with a heavy plank after being denied admission .to the church by the opposing faction who denied the right to hold the meeting. The trouble started several years ago and recently Rev. Hawkins was sent here by the state board of the church to straighten out matters. He hoped to accomplish this through a covenant which provided that all members “bury the hatchet” and again-accept each other as brothers 'and sisters. However, his plan failed to restore harmony. At least onehalf of the members, including the chairman of the church board, are on the side of the new minister. On Sunday there were threats of taking him from the pulpit but this was not attempted. Both sides have employed attorneys and plan to fight the question of legal rights in the courts.

Laporte Swept By a Cloudburst.

A cloudburst and severe electrical storm which swept through the business section of Laporte shortly after 2 o’clock Monday afternoon, caused property damage estimated at more than SIOO,OOO. No fatalities or serious injuries have been reported. The plant of the Laporte Gas and Electric Co. was wrecked when six smokestacks were bloWn down and crashed through the roof. The city was in darkness Monday night and it may be several days before the company can furnish light. The newspapers were only able to publish by attaching tractors to the presses. The big plant of the United States Slicer Co., also was wrecked. Electric light and telephone wires yvere blown down, scores of trees uprooted and windows shattered in every building in the business section, The streets and basements were 'flooded, part of the main business section being under three feet of water. Thousands of dollars worth of damage was reported to crops m the path of the- strom outside of the city. The storm swept through the city for five minutes, causing great; excitement, and then abated.

Entertains Epworth League Cabinet.

Chauncey Wood, the newly elected president of the Epworth League society of the Methodist church of this city, entertained the members of his cabinet at the home of his parents on College, avenue Sunday ev-

ening. , Mr. Wood stated to those present that he was very sorry that he was unable to take them to his home jnjthe country and give them a good old-fashioned country feed. But, being unable to do that he had done the next best thing and brought the dinner to them. He had passed to each of them what seemed to be a sandwich wrapped neatly irr a napkin. Next each was given a tin cup and a waterbucket full of lemonade was then passed and all were supposed to begin to devour the supposed splendid country lunch. When the napkins were opened they were found to contain a supply of oats, corn, wheat and alfalfa. This, of course, was a most excellent variety of the very best products that could be raised upon a farm. What became of the lunches we are not advised, but understand that all were ready to partake heartily of the next course, which consisted of cake and ice cream.

Dies Very Suddenly.

Herman Baxter, aged about 65 years, died very suddenly at his home in Remington Monday evening about 7 o’clock. He had just walked out into his yard and without any warning whatever fell over dead.

Indiana Council of Defense Busy.

Indianapolis, July 23. —Encouraging the food conservation campaign of Herbert C. Hoover, national administrator, by rendering practical assistance to Dr. Harry E. Barnard, volunteer Indiana ,representative; educating the farm erg to the. patriotism and business sense of putting silos on their farms; serving the cause of an increased production of coal at reduced prices by active negotiations with coal producers; enrolling the boys of the state into a working reserve to replace the labor that Will be called to service in the army; regv istering women for the work they can do if emergency arises—many already busy knitting socks and making shirts; cataloguing the educators, engineers, physicians and other professional men so that their services may be utilized by the federal government —in fact in every activity suggested by the Council of National Defense, the Indiana Council of De--1 sense has been very busy during, the past week. Room 83, the headquarters of the council, has become the center of more activity than is to be found in any other similar space in the state house. A report from Carroll county says the county council has appropriated S3OO for the use of the local council of defense; Huntington county has appropriated $1,000; the Wabash county council will set aside a similaramount. These”counties will be followed by others who comtemplate like action when their county councils meet in August. These sums are used for the payment of necessary telephone tolls, stationery, printing, clerical work not done by members of the council, and in some cases for room rent. Not a single cent is being spent for salaries for the council members, and as a Consequence there is no likelihood that there will be the slightest question as to the regality of the appropriations.
