Mrs. Marie Middlecamp of Near Kniman, Kicked By a Horse.

Mrs. Marie Middlecamp, aged 81 years, whose home is a mile south of Kniman, was kicked by a horse Sunday and her right leg was crushed at the knee. The injury is a very serious one and on account of the shock she may not be able to survive. She was brought by a local physician to the hospital here Sunday evening, but her condition is not at all favorable.

Bradley Ross Receives Commission.

Bradley Ross, son of Mrs. Ora T. Ross, of this city, has received his commission as second lieutenant in the field artillery. He stood second in this group of men at Fort Sheridan. He will be given a leave of absence from A tig. 12 to 27, at which time he will report at Battle Creek, Mich.

KAISER BUG.

The green plant lice, or “Kaiser Bugs,” which have been very destructive to the gardens of Indiana this year, have finally reached the truck growing regions of the northern part of Jasper county. Growers of pickles, melons, beans and potatoes will suffer severely unless control measures are adopted at once. The heaviest losses are being incurred around Wheatfield and DeMotte at present but the insects will doubtless reach all parts of the truck region. County Agent Learning states that the control of these insects is not especially difficult. The lice are sucking insects and are not killed by stomach poisons applied to the surface of the leaves. They are easily destroyed by contact poisons sprayed directly upon the insects. Solutions of nicotine sulphate, sold by the druggists of the county under various trade names, sprayed on the under side of the leaves will be found very effective. fn spraying on a large scale it is necessary for one man to lift up the vines from the ground and another to apply the material with a hand spray pump. Applications may be necessary at intervals of three weeks or changes in weather conditions may be unfavorable for the development of the insects and prevent further trouble.

More Help at Depot.

The work at- the Monon depot here has become so very heavy that it became necessary to put on another man. Elmer Wilcox is now working from 7a. m. to 3 p. m. Dan Morrissey works from 3 p. m. to 11 p. m. Another operator has been given the to 7 a. m. to 7 a .m. Rensselaer is one of the very busiest stations, on the Monon and the business done here is enormous. In an attempt to handle the work, Agent Beam has been working ten or eleven hours a day. Don Beam, formerly day assistant, is now giving his attention to the telephone business. Paul Beam, who succeeded him, is in training in a Chicago military school.

Soldiers to Use Shower Baths.

The city school board has arranged to allow the members of Company M to use the shower baths in the basement of the high school building. This will be a most excellent thing for the boys and the school board certainly deserves great praise for extending to them this most bene-j ficial opportunity.

WEATHER Showers this afternoon or tonight; Tuesday partly cloudy.

Farmers, if you have any old traction boilers, I will buy them and pay according to size. SAM KARNOWSKY, Phone 577.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER. INB.

Soul of America on Trial.

Indianapolis News. In 1917 the United States went to war. For three years there hid been increasing demand for such action, and the reluctance of the government at Washington, guided by a man with earnest desire for peace, both from innate conviction and preference and also from settled views of wise policy, seemed to many earnest and well-in-formed persons to be adhered to up to the point of pussillanimity. At all events, whether influenced by the continued inaction and pacific outgivings of our government or not, the German rulers persisted in flouting more and more the dignity, self;respect and manly pride of our people. Entrance upon the struggle could no longer be declined. A more military power like Germany would have flown to armed offensive long before. All this, however, is preliminary and negligible. It makes little or no difference to the true patriot why his country is at war. It is sufficient for him to know that at length it is in the fight, girded for the fray and bound by every consideration of honor and integrity to acquit itself as gloriously as possible. The man who is both wise and true will look ahead a few years when the history of this time comes to be written and try to picture to himself how the nation met its crisis. He will ask himself how he rose to the obligations of the hour. He will think of the henoc traditions of our army, our navy, our diplomatic annals, ornamented by some of the greatest names in human history, and he will pray for grace and resolution to follow in their train. Yet there are men and women of education, refinement and supposed patriotism who at this critical time in the history of American achievement, and in the'record of the American name, and in the development of the American nation as a beneficent and exemplary force in the march of humanity, are standing idly

by, some of them silently acquiescing in traitorous and obstructive tactics, some of them embarrassing in a thousand ways the successful prosecution of the war, and all of them in their own way painting a black shadow on the picture that future historians will have to draw of the way in which the American people acquitted themselves in this great struggle—the greatest in the history of the race, the most momentous in the life of humanity. The soul of America is on trial, because here all at once has come along the acid test of the character we have been building and discussing these many years. Some of us have clung firmly to the faith that in spite of all the sordid and sinister elements in our social and political life, yet the heart of the masses still beats true to the finest inspirations of our origins and our history; while there have not been wanting criticis who felt keenly the inroads that mere money-making by our men and mere pleasure seeking by our women had made upon the fiber of our national life. How bravely our youth accept the opportunity for service in the field, how patiently our women sustain the" heroic possibilities of the brave at home, how unselfishly capital and labor devote their energies to sustain our arms on sea and land—in all this will be found the answer to the question: Is America worthy of its birthright; is it fit to survive as a great nation of ideals and spiritual nobility, or is it fit only for the doom of empires whose men were too craven to fight and whose women too feeble in spirit to bear pain and sacrifice the body for the things of the soul?

Yates Car In a Head-On Collision.

Ick Yates’ Maxwell car suffered damages to the amount of $75 and J. J. Eigelsbach has a cut lip and Mrs. John Eigelsbach is laid up today as the result of an automobile accident Sunday. The car was being driven by John Eigelsbach, with his ftaher in the front seat with him. The two Mrs. Eigelsbach’s were in the rear seat. They came to a bridge near Wolcott and stopped to let another car pass and the on-coming car failed to clear and a front end collision was the result. The force of the impact caused, the elder Eigelsbach to pitch forward through the windshield, the broken glass cutting his face. Mrs. John Eigelsbach was injured slightly and is confined to the house today. The radiator of the Maxwell car was crushed in and will have to be replaced with a new one. One of the headlights was also damaged badly.

The best yield of wheat the Republican has heard of in this locality so far is that of Fred Walifig, on the old Bruce Porter farm in east Marion. The yield was 24 bushels to the acre. Why pay others $1.50 per pair to pay for advertising long profits of 110 per cent, etc., when you can buy the Prismo headlight glasses for the usual merchandise profit of SI.OO per pair. Anything else you need. The old reliable Main Garage, best in Rensselaer. Miss Jane Parkison is suffering from a nervous breakdown due to over exertion following her operation for appendicitis.
