ANOTHER DRAFT CALL ISSUED

INDIANA TO FURNISH MORE MEN FOR ARMY—TO LEAVE APRIL 3. The local conscription board received notification from the War Department this Wednesday morning to the effect that Jasper county would be called upon to furnish more men for the national army on April 3, in addition to the seventeen per cent which have been-ordered to report from March 29 to April 2 inclusive. The order this morning did not state what per cent of the men would be called on April 3, but it is believed that ten per cent, or six men, will be called on this date. The call for March 29 includes ten men from this county, which means that sixteen draftees will leave here between March 29 anil April 4. , The men of the sixteen per cent are to be <mt to Camp Taylor, Ky., while the ten per cent are to be sent to Fort Hamilton, N. Y. No farmers are to be included in the call at this time, as it is deemed advisable by the War Department to allow them to remain at home and aid in the spring farm work. With the exception of four or five men, the local conscription board has not decided who must answer the calls;

ORGANIZE FOR THIRD DRIVE

LOCAL ORGANIZATION PREPARES FOR THIRD LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE. The meeting of the chairmen and workers for the third Liberty Loan drive in Jasper county was held at the courthouse Tuesday afternoon, and plans were perfected for the eoming campaign which opens April The meeting was called to order by County Chairman James H. Chapman and there were about thirty present. Chairman Chapman made a statement of the plans he has in mind for the campaign and announced the apppihtment of the following chairmen: ‘ G. A. Williams, chairman speakers Chas. Sands, publicity. Ed. Lane, transportation. B. F. Fendig, sales. J. D. Allman, entertainment. Fern Lough, Carpenter township. John Kolhoff and Frank Welsh, Jordan township. John Rush, Newton. Wesley N. Hinkle, Firman Thompson and August Schultz, Marion township. _ R. L. Bussell, Hanging Grove township. J. P. Ryan, Gillam township. H. W. Marble, Walker, Kankakee, and Wheatfield townships. George Hockney, Keener township It was decided to have a War Lunch to which the chairmen and workers from the several townships will be invitpd and the following committees were appointed: Delos Thompson and Moses Leopold, committee to raise funds; Rev. E. W. Strecker to arrange with the ladies’ organizations of the four churches of Rensselaer to arrange to furnish the lunch on April 2; George H. McLain, J. D. Allman and C. M. Sands, committee on arrangement. After a full discussion it was determined that the Women’s organization be asked sell 20 per cent of the amount of the total allotment for Jasper county. C. Arthur Tuteur was appointed to prepare a list of all soldiers now in the service from this county and arrange same according to the townships. The chairmen present outlined tentative plans for the coming campaign, after which the meeting adjourned. By the date of the opening for the third campaign, Chairman Chapman expects to have his forces thoroughly organized for a vigorous drive, and see that every citizen of the county is called upon to do his share towards winning the war. Jasper' county made a splendid showing in the two previous campaigns, and there is but little doubt but that she will subscribe the apportionment alloted to her in this campaign.

FOR MORE GARDENS.

W. D. Bringle was appointed by the Jasper county council of defense to see that all city and town vacant lots are cultivated this year. He will look after this matter, personally, in Rensselaer. If you have a vacant lot and cannot garden it this year or if you want to garden a lot take the matter up with Mr. Bringle. Let every foot of available space be made to bring forth a full harvest and let every man, woman and child in Rensselaer do his bit at gardening.

DANGER.

We desire to call the attention of the parents of a number of boys who are in the habit of jumping on our trucks while they are moving. This is very dangerous and we have seen a number of very serious accidents narrowly averted. We appeal to the parents and the boys in all kindness to stop this dangerous practice at once. _ m A F. E. WARNE, J. A. GRANT, Draymen.

I am making a special Easter display this week and next, showing attractive models, stylish in shape, color and decoration. Miss Emma Rishling.

RAINIER CASE TO U. S. ATTORNEY

WYCKOFF SAYS MINISTER MADE THREAT—MAY SELL EXCESS STOCK. Stanley Wyckoff, federal food administrator for Marion county, annouriced today that he would refer to L. Ert Slack, United States district ottorney, the case of the Rev. J. F. Rainer, 2716 Sutherland avenue, Indianapolis, at whose home Mr. Wyckoff yesterday conficated eighteen sacks of flour. Mr. Wyckoff said he would refer the case to the district attorney under Section 6 of the food regulation law, under which the food administrators operate. This section provides that any person who wilfully hoards any necessaries shall, on conviction, *be fined not exceeding $5,000 or be imprisoned for not more than two years or both. Wyckoff said he was visited by the Rainers last night and that they asserted they would “spend SIO,OOO to get his job.”

Wyckoff also announced that persons having in their possession more foodstuffs than are permitted under the law would have the opportunity to give up such foodstuffs, especially flour, and receive the regular price Mrs. Rainer said today that the flour which was conficated was bought before the food regulations became effective. “Just as I have done every year for years,” said Mrs. Rainer, “I bought this flour at sales last summer. We only did what hundreds of others did and had no wrongful or unpatriotic intentions. “Mr. Wyckoff says he is going to send us a check for the vaule of the flour, and when he does we will give the check to the Rea Cross. Our children are buying Thrift Stamps and we are buying " Liberty bonds. If any one had come to us and asked us to share this flour we would certainly have done so.” The Rev. Rainer is pastor of the Heath Memorial M. E. church, and not the Hall Place M. E. church.

DRY TEST CASE HAS BEEN SET FOR APRIL 2

The supreme court Tuesday set the prohibition law test case from Evansville for argument at 10:00 o’clock on April 2, the day the law is to go into effect, and gave each side one hour for argument. The fact that the supreme court set April 2 as the day for the oral argument means that a large number of suits will be filed by brewers and saloonkeepers in various communities of the state similar to the suit that was tried in the Vandenburg court and which is now on appeal.
