Filling Out of Questionnaires No Small Task.

A glance at one of the sixteen □age questionnaires, which are beng sent out to the conscripted men of the county reveals the feat that the filling in of one of these properly is no small task and that considerable time must be consumed before they are correctly to be returned to the registration board. Even for a lawyer, who is used to asking questions and filling out legal blanks the job is no small one. That is why registrants who are not accustomed to such work should consult an attorney, whose advice and assistance will be freely given. It is expected that an hour to a questionnaire will be the average. Jesse Eschbach, state conscription agent, has mailed out to the conscription boards some very important communication relative to the filling out of the blanks, which was given him by Adjtj Gen. Crowder When attorneys fill out the blanks for registrants, the order says,whether they are legal advisory board members, associate members they must enter on z the left hand margin of the questionnaire the following: “Aid given by me” (name of attorney) “Permanent (or associate) member of legal advisory board.” Gen. Crowder says it is possible, if this information isi not placed on the questionnaire that the registrant may be delayed and embarassed in completing the questionnaire and accomplishing his classification.

Matinee Musicale Notes

Only a very few of the members of the Matinee Musical club were willing to endure the discomforts of the zero weather and forgo their Xmas preparations to enjoy the regular programme last Friday afternoon at the Christian church. Mrs. J. D. Allman read an interesting paper on The Advance of Instrumental Music. The biographies of the Italian composers Mattei and Rossini prepared by Mr. Callahan, were read by Mrs. M* D. Gwin, who also gave a few important notes on the lives of the composers, Schira and Concons. Mrs. John Pullins to whom the subject was assigned not being present- -. * Only one illustration of Mattern was given; viz a voice number, “I Love Thee,” which was rendered in a pleasing manner by Mrs. E. C. English. Three Rossini numbers were given The first being a voice number from “The Barber of Saville,” which Miss Ann Leonard sang in her usual capable style, and the overture William Tell played as piano duet by Misses Rosabelle Daugherty and Leunic Bird Rainis, caused their audience to forget the frigid atmosphere during the rendition of this number, so well was it given and as the last of this group in Mrs. J. D. Martindale’s two organ numbers ‘ Charity and “Cupus Animam” was evidenced the adaptibility of this composer's 'Compositions to this as well as the former means of expression. The single illustration of the composition ‘of Schira was the selection “Sognai” sing in Italian in a most pleasing manner by Mrs. Bert Hopkins whose voice is well suited to this style of musical composition. A vocal trio consisting of Mrs. J. D Martindale, Miss Thelma Martindale and gave consone’s “Fond Hearts,” in a way that made the entire programme one that deserved a much larger audience. It was decided for many reasons that the next programme would be more largely enjoyed if held on Sunday afternoons and a committee consisting of Mesdames J. D. Allman, J. B. Fleming and J. D. Martindale was appointed to decide the matter. The sum of five dollars was voted for local charity.’ It was suggested that each member have in mind the matter of material for the next year’s programme and be prepared to express themselves on this matter at the next meeting which will be held at the last regular meeting in January, the place to be designated later.

Pretbyterian* Loyal To The Core As is to be expected of a congregation under the leadership of that real patriot, s ßev. J. Budman Fleming, the Presbyterian church has decided to discontinue its Sunday evening services and to hold its midweek prayer meetings at the parsonage. This is done to conserve fuel, saving the coal that would be burned in the church furnace, and the fuel used by the city in furnishing lights. It is this kind of religion that counts fend its this kind of patriotism that will defeat the Kaiser. WOOD FOR SALE.

WE WILL WIN BUT WHEN?

THE KAISER WILL BE DEFEATED WHEN ALL AMERICA , HELPS. T*he War Conference held at Indianapolis was a great meeting. It was addressed by great men, and it was attended by many of Indiana’s patriots. If the spirit of that meeting ceuld be felt by every person in the state and in the nation we would make short work of this bitter contest. There was but one sentiment there and that was that all must do their part in every way possible This must be done at once for a delay may mean defeat. There is no choice, we are either for America and her allies or we are for the Kaiser and his hellish program. O! we proclaim our loyalty with word of mouth. But, that does not place a man by the side of our soldiers now in France. That does not buy a Thrift Stamp, a War Bond, or give to the Red Cross or the Y. M. C. A.. That does not mean that you are observing Meatless or Wheatless days. That does not necessarily mean that you are’doing all you can to save every pound of meat and every pound of wheat that you can. You may still be using too much lard or sugar. You may even let the water run at home so that your pipe will not freeze up, and thereby endanger the property of the city by wasting the city’s water and coal supply. Let us get down to brass tacks and talk to YOU.

If you are a young man why are you not in the war? How much more do the boys in the trenches owe to humanity than you? Whose war is this? There is absolutely no excuse for the young unmarried man to shirk his duty, and that duty is to go to Europe and stand by the patriots, who are bearing their breast to the tyrant of the ages. The slacker of today will be thoroughly despised tomorrow. How any young American can remain at home and let his fellow give his life for the cause of humanity is most difficult to understand. Is life so dear and liberty of so little value? The young man who should be in the army or navy today, but is at home unmoved by the dire and immediate need of his service to his country, is serving the Kaiser rather than his country. But not only are some of our young men slackers. But we have a number of double fisted, big fellows, who spend a great amount of time loafing about the city. The farmer is begging for corn huskers, many are wanted to chop wood and there are many tasks that should be done. The fellow who loafs today is for the Kaiser and is stabbing our soldiers in the back. When we sit down at our tables, we either serve the Kaiser or America and her noble allies. Our surplus food has already, in large part, gone to Europe. If the allied armies are to be fed, we must sacrifice, and share a part of the wheat, meat, sugar and fats that we are in the habit of eating. ■- We must conserve our fuel. We should use more wood. Burn less coal. Use less city water and lights. We should put every dollar we can into government bonds, Thrift Stamps and Certificates. Give more to the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., also the K. C. If we come out of this war without a dollar, we will then not have made one thousandth of the sacrifice that .many of our sons will have made. Whatever we are and have must be offered to our country. If a strong healthy .body give it. If money, give it. If service and toil at home, give it. When every available man, every available dollar has been placed upon the alter of Liberty then we will have all done our full duty and not until then. These times Sre too serious to discuss any phase of the war, but the winning of it. Let us have a united people, loyal and self-sacrificing to the last man and the last dollar. Let every man, every dollar and every ounce of sweat be put into this, our only task worth while, now. Let the soldiers who have gone to. the front, and those who are to follow be assured that our country is back of them, ready to sacrifice with them, all, everything. Let them know that we are united in sentiment, and in conduct. That we will not speak a disloyal word, do a disloyal act, but all that we haip and are is at the command of our country and we are ready to help them win the world’s greatest war of all ages. That we all remember that lofty sentiments are hollow unless these sentiment are lived, each day and each hour, and that they are manifested in cur every thought and act. Let us be brave. Let us do our part. Let us be for humanity and against me Kaiser.

Don’t Waste The City Water.

The practice of running water to keep pipes from freezing or wasting water in any way, must be stopped at once, for you are violating t he city ordinance. Also you are wasting the nation’s resources as it takes coal and much of it to pump the water and as we all know the coal situation is becoming more serious each day. CITY OF RENSSELAER, C. S. Chamberlin, Supt.

All people wishing to join in the singing of the Christmas Carols are urged .to be at the assembly room of the old high school building this evening.
