War Insurance Passes Senate.

With the SIO,OOO maximum insurance plan restored as urged by the administration and with an additional provision raising Major General Pershing, commanding the American forces in France, and Major General Bliss, chief of staff, to the rank of general, the soldiers’ and sailors’ insurance bill, carrying an appropriation of $176,000,000, was parsed by the senate by a vote of 71 to 0. - An amendment by Senator Smoot, provides that $35 a month shall be paid widows of civil war and Span-ish-American veterans as well as to the widows of men who may be killed in the present war. Reductions were made by the senate in the house provisions for compensation paid for death or disability of soldiers and sailors or members of the army and navy nurse corps. Under the bill as it now stands, a widow would receive $25 a month compared to $35 fixed by the house, while a widow with tw T o children would receive $47.50, a reduction of $5. Allowances to dependents of men at the front range from sls a month for a wife to $32.50 for a wife and two children and $5 more for each additional child. One-half of each man’s pay is to be retained by the govrenment for dependents, or, if there are none, to be paid to the man with interest on his discharge, or to his heirs in the event of his death. ——==-===—

Select 1918 Seed Corn Before A Hard Freeze Comes.

One million bushels of high class seed corn are to be selected from Indiana fields October 22-26 if the program of the Indiana committee on food production and conservation is carried out. Indiana farmers will plant approximately six million acres of corn in 1918. A bushel of seed is required for each six acres to be planted. G. I. Christie, state food director, states that if all the seed for the 1918 crops could be selected from the field before time - of heavy freezes, and properly stored, the yield next year would be easily increased.thirty million bushels.

LIBERTY LOAN ORGANIZATION

JASPER COUNTY ORGANIZED TO MAKE SECOND LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE. Jasper county’s quota of the Second Liberty Loan, based upon its bank resources, is about $280,000. The basis fixed by the government's 14 per cent of the bank resources. Rensselaer’s proportion is SIBO,OOO. James H. Chapman is the county chairman and he has appointed the following district chairmen: - J. N. Leatherman, Rensselaer, F. L. Lough, Remington. H. W. Marble, Wheatfield. Frank M. Hart, DeMotte. Royal L. Bussell, McCoysburg. Clifford Parkison, Pleasant Ridge. Fred Markin, Moody. W. S. McConnell, Fair Oaks. O. N. Faber, Newland. Joseph Thomas, Surrey. Harry Reed, Gifford. C. R. Peregrine, Tefft. John O’Connor, Kniman. (I. N. Leatherman, chairman of “Rensselaer and vicinity, has made the following appointments: George A. Williams, chairman of publicity committee. Charles G. Spitler,' chairman on arrangements and publicity. Ray D. Thompson, chairman of sales committee. Many of our men have offered their lives. Will the people df Jasper county offer a portion of their means? During the campaign, which will close the last of the month, meetings will be held and speakers will be on hands to make addresses, but none should wait for this, but should go to their banker and arrange to do their part. If we lose this war, property will have no value. A large subscription to the Second Liberty Loan will be as effective as General Haig’s last drive. Those who cannot buy a large bond, can if they wish, buy a fifty or hundred dollar hond and pay for it at the rate of five dollars per month. The bond is a good financial investment. It is the best way in the world to show your patriotism.' If we will furnish war materials there will be no shortage of man-power and the Kaiser will meet his Waterloo.

BRITONS HOLD ALL GAINS

USUAL COUNTER ATTACKS ARE LACKING EXCEPT FOR WEAK SPASMS. With the British secure in all the positions they won Thursday along the more than eight-mile front of the Ypres sector in Flanders, Field Marshal Haig’s men were busy Friday consolidating their newly won positions and preparing for another hack into the German lines when the time becomes propitious. Nothing but the dropping of shells from German guns served to interrupt the breathing spell the British were taking, except here and there small counter-attacks which lacked the usual strength the Germans employed in endeavoring to regain lost ground. In addition to the enormous casualties inflicted on the Germans, the British captured 4,446 prisoners in Thursday’s attack, o among them 114 officers.

Comparative quiet prevails on all the other battle fronts. The artillery duels between the French and the Germans on the Verdun sector and in Champagne continue, and at several points in the latter sector General Petain’s forces again have repulsed surprise attacks delivered by troops of the German crown prince. Apparently the Teutonic allies in Rumania, after several weeks of virtual inactivity, again are preparing tn attempt to force back the .Russo-. Rumanian line. The Russians have been forced to sustain an offensive near Radsutz while near the Buzeu river attacks by Bulgarian troops have been defeated. Admission is made in the latest V ienna official communication that the Italians were successful in winning .trenches from the Austrians on the western slope of Monte San Gabriele in the Gorizia sector but it is assured that heavy losses were sustained by them. ’ - In Russia a coalition cabinet has premier, notwithstanding the demand of the democratic congress . that no government should be constituted without the sanction of the congress. Meanwhile further trouble has broken out in Turkestan, where a revolutionary movement was started in the early week but later was suppressed. The Russian government las now declared that a state of war exists in this region.

The seventh Indiana apple show will be held this year in Washington, Daviess county. This official announcement has been made by the executive committee of the Indiana Horticulture society, which manages the annual exposition. The date remains as before, November 21-27. Announcement was made two weeks ago that the exhibit and the annual meeting of the society would be held in Evansville. It was found later that Evansville was not exactly ready for the show this year. The contract now drawn up with Washington is final. Subscribe for The Republican

How to Go to Camp Ia Shelby By Auto.

Many inquiries come to soldiers at Camp Shelby, near Hattiesburg, Miss., regarding the best automobile highway route from Indiana and Kentucky to Camp Shelby. Some facts in connection with this matter might be of general interest. Hattiesburg is on the Jackson Highway extending from Chicago to Rensselaer, Remington, Lafayette, Frankfort, Lebanon, Indianapolis, Columbus and Seymour, Ind.; Louisville, Columbus and Hogansville, Buffalo, Glasgow and Scottsville, Ky.; Gallatin, Nashville, Franklin, Columbia and Lawrenceburg, Tenn.; Florence, Ala.; and Hattiesburg, Miss. At Hattiesburg the Continnial Highway from Mmephis to Gulfport, via Jackson, crosses the Jackson Highway. ' From here autoists can proceed to New Orleans with ease over the Jackson Highway or go to coast points, 70 miles distant on the Centennial Highway. At Gulfport, boating, bathing and fishing is enjoyed at all times of the year. Many automobile parties are now being formed among friends and relatives of the soldiers, and a veritable stream qf cars is expected along the Jackson Highway at an early date. Already a number of cars have come over the route and all report enjoyable £rips.
