The 151st Indiana, of which Colonel George H. Healey is in command, is accredited with being one of the crack regiments of the country, which speaks well for the ability of the former Rensselaer man. A letter received here today by friends from South Dakota says that Mrs. Fritz Zard, who has beep pretty sick, is much better and that Carl Robinson, the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Robinson is improving.

From now on. it will be possible to send parcels of merchandise weighing as much as 70 pounds by mail to within a radius of 300 miles from the mailing office and up to 50 pounds to any point in the United States. This is a substantial increase in the weight allowed. The rates of postage remain the same. Heretofore the weight limit has been 50 pounds within 300 miles and 20 pounds beyond that distance. It is expected that not only farmers will benefit by the change but that manufacturers will find the increase in weight limits to their advantage. • ABUNDANCE OF MONEY I can loan you all the money you want on that farm. My rate is 5 per cent and my limit is SIOO per acre.—P. D. Well*. Morocco, Ind. PUBLIC NOTICE? The public library of this eity will be opened from 10 a. m. until 0 p. m. on aD week day*.
