Remington Items Gleaned From The Press.

The editor is still on the mend, but as yet is only able to be up a part of the time. Miss Nettie Price, of Rensselaer, was a guest of Miss Callie Bonner Tuesday afternoon and night. Ed Sutherland shipped two car loads of mules Wednesday to Danville,- 81. We congratulate our ex-Reming-tonians on winning out in the election game at Monticello this week. S. W. Thompson was elected mayor, Fred L. Griffin, city clerk, and Mike Remck, councilman of the second ward. There are a number of cases of scarlet fever reported in the’ county but no new cases in town except the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Walton. The Pennsylvania R. R. Co. has issued instructions to all «employes to see that all inflammable materials are kept away from the elevators and places where food is stored, and ask the co-operation of the public to see that adjacent premises are kept as clean as possible. The public library at Rensselaer found on looking over their catalogue that they had 42 duplicate volumes on their shelves. These they have donated to the Remington library. Remington surely appreciates the gift. Howard Jones had quite a peculiar happening on Sunday night, which resulted in a serious loss. A straw stack fell over on five hogs and a eow. When discovered on Monday morning, the straw was removed and it was found that the cow and three ofthe hogs were dead. Remington has not had so many empty houses before as there are right now. What’s the matter with Remington, anyway. High rent?

He was married March 6, 1917, to Miss Bessie McElfresh, and they resided eight miles north of Rensselaer. The deceased was a member of Company M of Rensselaer and went to the border in June, 1916. He was honorably discharged after an accident in October of the same year. _ He leaves to mourn their loss, his wife, father, four brothers and four sisters, besides seventeen nephews and nieces. The brothers are: Harvey, of Big Rapids, Mich.; Walter, of Judyville, Ind.; Lee, of Remington, Ind.; and Charles, of Inwood, Ind. The mother died seventeen years ago. The sisters are: Mary Clearwater, St .Louis, Mo.; Alta Foudray, Saskatchewan, Can.; Della Harris, Plymouth, Ind., and Verda Claybough, Huntington, Ind. Mr. Rush was a model young man and his young wife and other relatives have the deepest sympathy of a host of friends.

Tharp, of the Christian church, and interment was made in the Remington cemetery.

Twenty Years’ Ago.

Ladies wore bustles. Operations were rare. Nobody swatted the fly. Nobody had seen a silo. Nobody had appendicitis. Nobody sprayed orchards. Nobody wore w’hite shoes. Cream was 5 cents a pint Cantaloupes were muskmelons. Most young men had livery bills. You never heard of a “tin Lizzie.” Doctors wanted to see your tongue. Milk shake was a favorite drink. Nobody cared for the price of gas. ' Farmers came to town for their mail. L The hired girl drew one-fifty a week. The butcher “threw in” a chunk of liver. Folks said pneumatic tires were a joke. There were no sane Fourths, nor electric meters. Strawstacks were burned instead of baled. Publishing a country newspaper was not a business. Jules Verne was the only convert to the submarine. . You stuck .tubes in your ears to /hear aphonograph, and it cost a dime.

America Will Remain Russia’s Friend and Continue Trade.

Russia’s latest upheaval will not change the attitude of the American government towatdmeasures under way for the relief of economic conditions in that country. This statement, applying particularly to contracts placed with money borrowed from the United States for vast quantities of shoes and clothing for civilian population, was the only authorized comment at the state department in Washington Friday upon the overthrow of the Kerensky government at Petrograd., Official advices from the Russian capital still are lacking, no word having been received from Ambassador Francis since Tuesday. Apparently the British and French governments have not heard from their representatives, so it is assumed that the revolutionists in control of the Petrograd telegraph offices and cables are holding diplomatic dispatches, an action sure to bring strong protests. Until the situation clears, the state department will make no announcement as to the probable effect of the change at Petrograd upon the relations of the United States with Russia and the conduct of the war against Germany? Officials are confident that before long out of the present chaos there will emerge a sound and stable government.

An Attraction Extraordinary At The Gayety Tonight.

The Gayety Airdome will again open its doors this evening after having closed down for the winter, as the management has an attraction extraordinary to show to the public tonight. H. F. Logan, of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, has brought a picture entitled "Submarine. Warfare,” which should prove intensely interesting to the public. The picture will show the sinking of the Laconia, and also give vivid scenes direct from the bloody battlefields of France, depicting the recent fighting—thrilling and graphic. See the submarine in action, the torpedo leave the ship, hitting of the Laconia—the explosion, the mad rush for the life boats—the survivors rescued.—The picture brought here to your very door from the eye of the camera that was on the scene when the sinking took place.

ORGANIZE FOR Y. M. C. A. DRIVE

JASPER ASKED TO RAISE SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR SOLDIERS. Captain E. S. Norton and Mr. Dixon, of Gary,' Ind., were here Thursday afternoon and at a meeting called at the county commissioners’ room in the court house by E. L. Hollingsworth, chairman of the Jasper county Young Men’s Christian Association. After talks by Messrs. Norton and Dixon, plans were made for a drive to raise our quota of $7,000 for the war fund for that organization. During the week beginning Monday, November 12, there is to be a fund raised to be used by the Young Men’s Christian Association. The nation is to raise $35,000,000. * Indiana’s quota is $1,000,000, and Jasper county’s $7,000. After the addresses by Messrs. Norton and Dixon, Chairman Hollingsworth appointed an executive committee consisting of the following gentlemen: Charles G. Spitler, George A. Williams, James H. Chapman and Louis H. Hamilton. It was decided to have a gathering of the workers of the county “at a luncheon Monday evening in this city. A' committee to provide for the lunch consisting of Messrs. J. Budman Fleming and C. Wiley Duvall were appointed and have later made their report. The ladies of the Presbyterian church will serve the lunch in' the dining room of the Presbyterian church. Besides the lunch we are promised a good speaker by the men from Gary. After the conclusion of the general meeting there was a meeting of the executive committee. At this meeting it was decided to divide the county into three districts. These three districts are to be the same as the county commissioners’ districts as far as practicable. A leader was. to be selected for each district. For the central district, Attorney George A. Williams was selected. Later Chairman Hollingsworth appointed H. W. Marble for the north district. Mr. Marble promised Mr. Hollingsworth that he would have a large number of workers present at the meeting here Monday night and that he would do his best to raise whatever amount may be necessary for his district. In the evening Messrs. Charles G. Spitler, J. Budman Fleming and James H. Chapman went to Remington and met a representative body of the businessmen of that city. These men selected Postmaster Dennis O’Riley as their leader and they promised to have a full representation at the Monday evening meeting here and also to do their best to raise their quota of the amount assigned to the county. The enthusiasm that has already been engendered and the thorough organization is sure to do most effective work and there will be a most excellent response to this magnificent work by the people of Jasper county. There will be no expense for the lunch, as this matter has been taken care of in another way.
