Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 February 1918 — ATTEND HIGH SCHOOL CONCERT TONIGHT [ARTICLE]

ATTEND HIGH SCHOOL CONCERT TONIGHT

There is a treat in store for all who will attend the entertainment given by the Advance Chorus of the high school tonight. The chorus will be assisted by the high school orchestra, and several solos, duets, trios and quartettes. . Funds to be used by the high school auxiliary Red Cross and the Rensselaer high school council of defense work. Mrs. S. M. Larue went to Delphi today.

Farmers Grain Co., the.. profits of which cannot exceed $7:50 a year and which may be much less, would influence us to sell our soul to satan. Let us say again, the price a fellow puts on his own soul may often be determined by the estimate he thinks others put on theirs. To accuse one of selMng their soul for a pittance, brands the accuser as one on whose soul satan already has a mortgage. We ask that our readers compare the article of Dr. Jameson, fuel administrator of Marion county, Indiana with the vile accusation Babcock has made against county fuel administrator Fendig, the Rensselaer coal dealers and the editor of the Rensselaer Republican. The editor of the Republican still insists that Fuel Administrator Fendig is honest and efficient, that the personal characters of the coal men of Rensselaer are above reproach and that every word written by Babcock in this whole matter has been written in malice and dyed’ in falsehood.

We may be weak minded and not have your superfluous acumen, Mr. Babcock, but, when you question our motives for patriotic service rendered you touch the most sacred spot in our very being and wound the already broken hearts of a mother and sister of a brave son now in the awful hell of that great conflict which shall decide whether after all there is any value in property or life.
