To Organize Jasper County Historical Society.

There will be a meeting tonight at 8 o’clock in the office of Abraham Halleck of those interested in the organization of a Jasper County Historical and Scientific Research Society. This is to inaugurate a movement looking to the preparation and preservation of the history of Jasper county. It is vitally important that a move of this kind be made at once, as the foundation for much of the interesting history of the county is fast fading away. A. F. Knotts, of Gary, who is connected with a similar society in Lake county, and who is preparing a work on the Kankakee Valley, will be present and will give suggestions that will be helpful in the organization of the movement. All who are interested in preparation and filing of this interesting material for future generations are invited to be present.

German Navy Head Reported Resigned.

Amsterdam, Oct. 12.—-Vice Admiral von Capelie, the German minister of marine, has resigned, according to the Frankfurter Zeitung. Vice Admiral Eduard von Capelie was one of the administrative directors in the ministry of marine before the war and had served as a captain at sea. In March, 1916, he succeeded Admiral von Tirpitz as imperial minister of the navy. Several times since then von Capelle has appeared before the reichstag with optimistic statements regarding the progress of the unrestricted submarine warfare campaign as late as August 26, 1917, defending the Üboat policy. -

WE MUST PAY.

We must pay. We have not yet begun to pay as the pepole of Europe have had to pay in work and money. We must sacrifice. We have barely touched with our lips the cup of sacrifice which our friends and our enemies in Europe have drained almost to the dregs. We are fighting to keep what our fathers at Valley Forge were fighting to win for us. Which of us has walked in their bloody footsteps? Do we refuse these sacrifices? Consider, then, the Hohenzollem victorious and dictating what we shall pay! Does any one dream that he would show us mercy? The Prussian who conquered Denmark in 1864; Austria, Saxony, Bavaria, Hanover, Wurteemberg and Hesse in 1866, and France in 1870— the Prussian who has covered every agre of ground that he has conquered in this war with blackness and horror—that Prussian, if victorious yonder, will come here and we shall pay in blazing homes, in children slain and worsen violated. There was an American once that said to the pirates of the Mediterranean: “Millions for defense but not one cent for tribute.” There was such an America. And now —? President Indiana University.

Jennie Conrad Presents Plans Which Would Aid Fanners.

Jennie M. Conrad, Newton county’s famous woman, who has been attending the meeting of the state woman’s council of defense, has presented plans, which if they meet with the approval of the government, will bode evil for the chronic loafers and those who for various reasons are. not available for war service. Mrs. Conrad proposes a drafted labor army that will be put to work to raise the food needed for the allied armies. Mrs. Conrad, who owns and personally oversees the management of 5,000 acres in Newton county, attended the meeting of the Women’s Farm and Garden Association in Chicago this week, and the draft idea was so well received that the women passed resolutions calling on the. government to put the plan into effect. Mrs. Conrad then hurried to Indianapolis to get the indorsement of the Indiana women. A similar resolution was enthusiastically passed, and will be presented to the men of the state council at its meeting next week. ~ ■ • ■' ~ ==«=-—: —-—r Mrs. Conrad said she couldn’t have gotten her hay crop in had not a woman made the stacks.

BANKERS HAVE FINE BANQUET

OPENING OF SPLENDID NEW BANKING HOUSE FRIDAY EVENING. The First National Bank was the host to a large number of guests Friday evening at a banquet held in the dining room of the First Christian church. Besides a large number of the resident officers and stockholders of the banks there were a number of bankers from out of the city present. The banquet consisted of a most elaborate five course dinner, which was served by the ladies of the Christian church. The music was furnished by Miss Ruth Wood in vocal and violin solos accompanied by Mrs. H. R. Wood at the piano. The music was greatly enjoyed by all and Miss Wood was required by the hearty applause to reappear a great number of times. The program which was given during the banquet was in charge of Col. E.’ P. Honan as toastmaster. Col. Honan was at his best and his part of the evening was splendidly received. Each speaker was introduced in a manner that put the audience in a mood which made the delivery of toasts very easy. James N. Leatherman, cashier of the First National Bank, delivered the address of wlecome. He is very proud of their nevz banking house and said that they had tried to erect a building in keeping with the Mayor Charles G. Spitler responded to the address of welcome and made a decided hit with his audience. The address of C. L. Boye, of Chicago, was one of the very best ever delivered in this city. Mr, Boye is assistant cashier of the Fort Dearborn National Bank, which institution is one of the correspondents of the First National Bank of this city. The toast of James H. Chapman, cashier of the State Bank of Rensselaer, was a most excellent one. No meeting can be held now without discussing some phase of the war and Mr. Chapman gave some timely suggestions in reference to the second Liberty loan bond sales. E. L. Hollingsworth, Rensselaer’s premier banker, was called upon and made an address commending the First National Bank for giving to the community such a splendid banking institution. Mr. Hollingsworth also touched upon the war and urged everyone to do their part to help win the war.

This was a most auspicious occasion and the opening of our splendid new banking house is a great step forward for this community.

Regular Visitors to Cedar Lake Being Twigged.

Crown Point, Ind., Oct. 12.—Editor Wheeler has some inside dope on the grand jury sessions this week as follows: “The grand jury is still holding daily sessions, beginning on the fifth week, and the end is nowhere in sight. Some of the members have stated that with the work that is still ahead of them it would not be surprising if the ,sessions continue to end of the present term of the circuit court, which will hold until the second week in November. It appears that the county is being gone over with a fine tooth comb and it is quite certain that Deputy Prosecutor Bremer and the jury will bring in the largest lot of indictments ever returned by a grand jury in Lake county. Nothing along the line of ‘free and easy’ affairs is escaping the notice of the jury; in fact, witnesses by the wholesale are daily called to the captain’s office to tell what they know about this and that. Cedar Lake, it is said, is coming in for a grand clean-up—-dozens of witnesses having been asked about the blondes, brunettes and the fat and slim ones, who have made the lake their habitat this season, on the theory that those who dance must pay the fiddler, and from the outside appearances around the jury room it looks as though something heavy is going to drop on the Cedar Lake environments when the jury weaves together their mass of evidence secured in the past few days.”

Former School Teacher Writes.

Chicago, 111., Oct. 10, 1917. Friend Hamilton: ' I came to city a week ago with my auto loaded with the fruits of Jasper Co. farm. Since here I have attended three important club meetings among which were the Indiana Daughters. Today I attend another important meeting more political. Tomorrow I am off again for the farm to gather the winter apples. Before Oct. Ist I had made from our little orchard in Gillam over 100 gal. of cider and I sold grapes and apples to many old Jasperites, among them Mrs. Warren Robinson, Mrs. Simon Thompson, Jr. and many Gillam folks. Then I enjoy ed the calls of old friends among them Mr. + and Mrs. Ad Parkison and daughter Jane, Miss Luella Robinson, the -John Ryan family, Mr. and Mrs. James Stevens and many others. I certainly had a fine stay through September on the farm. A month I had not spent there for more than 30 years. Regards to all Rensselaer friends, and ye editor and family. LAURA E. R. FISCHER. -

Matinee Musicale Club Opens With Splendid Meeting.

The Matinee Musical® Club enterci upon its third year’s work under discouraging weather conditions, but encouraging as to attendance and interest. ; • '. < In her greeting to the membership, the president, Mrs. M. D. Gwin, emphasized the importance of co-oper-ation on the part of the members in being punctual, attentive and responsive. She also quoted well known club workers who had called attention to the need of the world for music at this time of stress. „ . Miss Maud Daugherty was leader. Two comprehensive and well prepared papers were given, the first, “Church Music and Its Influence” by Mrs. Geo. Williams, and was an interesting explanation of the methods employed by ancient writers to express music and standardize the scales. St. Gregory and Palistrina were mentioned as being the leaders in harmonizing and purifying the music of the church. Her paper was creditably illustrated by two double trio numbers, the "Gloria in Excelis,” by Gregory, and “Crucifixus” byJPalestrina, rendered by Mesdames E. C. English, A. R. Hopkins, J. D. Martindale, A. H. Hopkins, G. A. Williams and Miss Nina Martindale. Attention was called to the impossibility of the church music being given by other than trained choirs on account of its difficulty and the absence of any instruments in the church services of that time. Mrs. F. A. Turfler followed Mrs. Williams, and dwelt with the secular music of the same period in a very excellent paper, “The Rise and Development of Early Italian Music.” Her subject was illustrated by a Folk song, “Oh Come to Me,” by Mrs. Ray Wood and a Folk dance, “Tarantella.” bv Miss Helen .Wamer, both of which were most pleasingly rendered. If the remaining programs for the year are as well prepared and as logical, no member can afford to miss a snigie number of the year’s work. Anew feature of the year’s work will be a discussion of the pronounciation of Italian names on the program and current musical events. Among those mentioned Friday were the prominence given in the various American cities to community singing, the generosity of Albert Sparling, the great violinist, in donating $5,000 to the Red Cross, and the fact that three of the sons of the world’s greatest contralto, Madam Schu-mann-Heink, are in the American army and one in the German. On account of the scarcity of coal it was decided to combine the programs. Therefore, the next two programs will be given at the time of the first meeting in November. Mrs. Asa McDaniel and Mrs. A. F. Long will be the leaders. The following comittee was appointed to arrange the charity program to be given on Nov. 27: Mesdames E. C. English, C» G. Warner, and Asa McDaniel. The meeting closed with the singing of “America” by the club.
