Strawberries In October.

Louis Harmon and Warren Robinson were out to James Amsler’s farm Monday and brought back to the city three quarts of -fine strawberries which they ha® picked out of Mr. Amsler’s strawberry patch. The vines were reported to be quite green and loaded with blossoms. It is all right to take a nice lot of fine strawberries around and show them to ybuffnendi, built is mighty selfish to go home and eat them and not ask a single friend to share them with you/ The members of the press should by all means, boycott this kind of business and the matter will surely be discussed at the next meeting of the editorial association of the third ward of this city. All right, Lou and Warren, we may have a watermelon dinner and you’ll get no bid to it.

MR. RANDLE COMES TO THE FRONT Tolls -His Friends and Neighbors of His Experience. '- Every Rensselaer resident should read what Mr.'Randle says, and follow his example. He has used Doan’s Kidney Pills and speaks from experience. Is there any need to experiment with imitations or untried kidney medicines? Nelson Randle, retired farmer, N. Main St., Rensselaer, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills at different times when suffering from a lame and aching back and other symptoms of disordered kidneys. I got Doan s at Fendig’s Drug Store and they soon brought relief from the backache and other kidney ailments. I do not know of a case where Doan s Kdiney Pills have failed to prove pf benefit.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Randle had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1917.

I A FEATURE OF STOCK SHOW

WILL BE DISTRIBUTION OF 40 SHORTHORN HEIFERS NEXT SATURDAY. At 2 o’clock next Saturday afternoon in front of the new First National Bank building an event will take place which will have an important bearing in the development of Jasper county. At that time the forty registered Shorthorn heifers purchased by the bank will be distributed to as many boys in different parts of the county. All week these heifers have been arriving and capable livestock judges are enthusiastic as to their quality and are convinced that if each heifer goes out to establish a pure bred Shorthorn herd on some farm of the county, the value of the move will be hard to over-estimate. Saturday afternoon a committee representing the Jasper County Livestock Association named forty boys who will have the first opportunity to receive animals and whom they designated as alternates. • Twentyfive boys were also selected as alternates, many, of whom will receive heifers. The drawing will be in charge of Col. Fred Phillips and James N. Leatherman, cashier of the First National Bank. The names of the principals will be placed in one hat and those of the alternates in another. The heifers will be numbered and the corresponding numbers placed in a third receptacle. The clerk will draw the name of a principal, who will step up and draw a number from the receptacle, which will designate the heifer which he is to receive. Should any principal fail to qualify, the name of an alternate will be drawn and the distribution will proceed until the animals have all been placed. The principals selected are: Earl Matheny, Garfield Folger, Ivan Snow, Clarence Meadel, Ralph Dunlap, Murray Sigo, Russell Rayburn, __ Ellsworth Price, Ray Yeoman, C. E. Farabee, Christian Weuthrich, Clarence Hansen, Walter Erb, Herschell Bice, Cletus Kohley, Walter E. Banning, Luverne Paulus, Boycie Lambert, Ross Lakin, Paul Hershman, Paul Grube, Elvin Jordan, Curtis Brown, Eugene Martin, Theodore Amsler, Earl Parks, Edward Walters, Orran Gourley, Edwin Brusnahan, John Peer, Garrett Snedeker, George Nafsizer, -Irving Jones, G. P. Daugherty, Louis Lane, Goerge Lonfirgan, Gaylord Humes, Marion Faylor, Harold Kennedy. The alternates are as follows: Noah Morton, Jack Freeland, Tom Yeoman, Charlie Ulm, Harley Tombs, James B. Babcock, Ivan Blankenship, Lester Alter, Thomas Porter, Vincent Quinn, Francis Zimmer, Lowell Hayes, Rue McMurray, Richard McElroy, Mike Rush, Dewey Cox, Harold Garvin, Maurice Chas Reed, Dan Wolfe, Paul Parkison, Rolland Johnson, Dewey Evert Myers, Fred Spangle, Lonzo Wiseman, Wm. Eck. The drawing will be one of the big features of the stock show and will be witnessed by a large crowd.

Drug Store Window To Be Used By Farmers.

Long & Son, the druggists, are displaying in their window samples of corn brought in by the farmers. O. K. Rainier brought a sample from his White county farm and knowing that O. K. was good natured we used our imagination in describing some samples brought in by William Hoover and Charles Pullins. They are all mighty fine samples of corn and so are a number of other ears brought in by other farmers. Considerable interest has been engendered in this display and the window will be used for display until after the stock show which is to be held here nSxt Friday and Saturday. Long & Son extend to the farmers an invitation to bring in samples of corn and other products for display. The owners may have same after the stock show.

Five Names Omitted.

Garver, Rensselaer. 297 John Prohoskey, Rensselaer. 298 Harry A. Thomas, Rensselaer. U 99 Wm. R. Gorter, Remington. 300 Melva J. Baker, DeMotte.

All Draft Man to Be Examined Vary Soon.

Announcement that the 7,000,000 registered men not called in the first draft will be ordered examined immediately, is expected to follow a conference today between Secretary Baker and Provost Marshal General Crowder. *lt has been difinitely decided to order the examination of the 7,000,000. The conference will deal merely with details. A second draft now looms as imminent. The selection of a date is under The plans of the general staff for handling the first draft have been completed. It is hinted some of the drafted men will receive not more than sixteen Weeks’ training before they are sent to France. As soon as they are removed from the camps the war department desires the second draft shall be ready. Little surprise now would be occasioned should a date for the second draft be announced before Christmas. Mobilization would probably take place in March or April. It is indicated that instead of calling out 5,000,000 men —the limit allowed under the existing law—the next draft will be for 100,000 and will be followed by a series of similar •‘small drafts” designed to refill the cantonments as fast as the units of the present draft army finish training. Regulars and national guard are to be sent to the camps to assist in the instruction.

Tuesday Hospital Notes.

Fred Hartman was taken to the hospital Monday for medical treatment. The condition of Mrs. Joseph Adams is not so favorable today. All other patients are getting along nicely.

Doesn’t that white, flaky popcorn of Montgomery’s look delicious and inviting? Well, it i|. Get wise and try some of it. Wm. Eisele returned Monday from Denver, Colo., where he has been employed for the past several months. —; — “Hasn’t Jack Montgomery got the finest peanuts and popcorn,” we heard a fair maiden say, and the echo answered “yes.” Mrs. Helen Norman, who has been visiting with the family of George Gorham, went to Englewood today to visit a niece. John Haag and Mrs. W. W. Wheelford, of Seattle, Wash., who had been visiting with the family of J. C. Bristow, went to Roann, Ind., today. x Mr. E. Hollingsworth, who had been visiting friends at Remington, took the train here today for Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 9. —Wagner Wire.— Representatives of Herbert Hoover, head of the food conservation department, are in Chicago today discussing $1 corn and 10c hogs. Have you been in to see Jack’s new popcorn and peanut machine? Have you seen the fine, large grained, crisp Butter-Kist popcorn that smiles and crackles, hesitating on its way to flirt with pure creamery butter, as it leaps from the pan? Have you seen those large, double-jointed, well matured peanuts that Jack toasts? You haven’t? Well, then you have something. Better stop in at Montgomery’s the next time you go by.

Mrs. James Hemphill, sister-in-law of Mrs. E. P. Honan, arrived in Rensselaer this forenoon. Her son, James, who is a member of the national guard at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, has been furloughed and is expected to arrive here this evennig. While here they will decide whether or not they will bring Mr. James Hemphill, who is now very sick in an Indianapolis hospital, to this city. W. L. Bott went to Delphi this morning. After attending to some business there he will go to Logansport, where he will attend a sale of pure, bred sheep. Mr. Bott and his son are giving considerable attention to sheep and now have quite a herd on their farm, which is in charge of the son. They make a very handsome profit out of their sheep and Mr. Bott thinks that farmers of this county should handle a large number of sheep. Before returning home Mr. Bott will spend a short time in Winamac. Having purchased a Butter-Kist popcorn and peanut machine, we will have -on hand at all times fresh popped corn and hot roasted peanuts. We will use pure creamery butter made by Harris & Son of this city and buy none but the very best of peanuts and popcorn. We will make a specialty of Butter-Kist Corn _ m cartons costing 10c and containing more than two ordinary sacks. They are sanitary and will not soil the hands or clothes. They also keep the corn warm several hours. This machine is the finest made and we will keep it dean and sanitary. We will be pleased to have the public come in and see it work. Very truly. J. J. MONTGOMERY.

SOX-GIANT BATTLE OFF RAIN AND COLD STOP THIRD CLASH OF CONTENDERS FOR TITLE. A bulletin received over the Wagner Wire at 1 o’clock today stated the third battle of the Sox and Giants for the world’s baseball crown was postponed on account of rain and cold weather. Fans who had stood in line over night through the cold, damp weather, were greatly disappointed when the game was put off. Manager McGray was greatly pleased with the postponement as it will give him an additional day in which to get his demoralized forces together to meet the attack of the westerners. He will seml Sallee against Russell tomorrow in the hopes of stemming the tide and bringing the baseball crown back to "Manhatton Island.
