REPUBLICANS IN MEETING

IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE TENTH REPUBLICANS. State Secretary L. H. Henley and a large number of the Republicans from the Tenth Indiana congressional district held a very enthusiastic meeting in the director’s room of the First National Bank of this city, Monday. . . Lawrence Lyon, of Brook, chairmen of the district presided. Secretary Henley made a most fervent appeal to the Republicans present to flurry out the spirit of the non-parti-{mn meeting held in Indianapolis sometime ago when the two great political organisations of the state pledged their loyal support and hearty co-operation to the campaign for the third Liberty Loan which starts on April 6. Mr. Henley read the resolution passed by the Indianapolis body and asked that every Republican in this district be faithful to the promises they made. He spoke of the changes in the registration law and the necessity of having all members of the party register.He stan spoke upon the provisions of the absent voter law. Hon. W. A. Roach of Delphi, secretary of state, made a most earnest address and predicted Republican victory at the next November election. A report was made by the several county chairmen of the district and all feel confident that sucess will come to the party again this fall. There was a large delegation here from White county and all were strong boosters for Charles Preston for the Republican nomination for clerk of the supreme court.*Preston yas present and made an excellent address. That he will have the hearty endorsement of the _ tenth district Republicans, there is no doubt. He looks like a winner and his nomination will add much to the strength of the Republican ticket this fall. The resolutions adopted at the meeting today were as follows: Be it resolved by the Republican District Committee of the Tenth Congressional District of the State of Indiana, held in the city of Rensselaer, Indiana, held on the 25th day of March, 1918. That we fully endorse the unfaltering support given the national government by our state representative in the United States senate the Honorable Harry S. New and the Honorable James E. Watson and our representative in congress the Honorable Will R. Wood and we do now call on them to stand as they have in the past, faithfully behind any measure for our national welfare. We cannot express in words our thoughts or what ought to be the expression of the people of the state of Indiana towards the great and patri-. otic work of the state administration, including our war governor, the Honorable James P. Goodrich. We heartily commend their work and pledge our support to their further endeavors in this regard. ' We here pledge ourselves to such measures as are necessary for the winning of the contest in which we are now engaged and to the promotion of such measures as to insure a permanent peace and prosperity to our country. We heartily endorse the selection of the Honorable Will Hays as National Chairman of our party, the fighting Republican of Indiana. We heartily endorse the record of the Honorable Ele Stansbury as attorney general of Indiana. We endorse the candidacy of Charles S. Preston, of Monticello, Indiana, for clerk of the supreme court of Indiana, as a candidate from this district and we do this because of his services to the party in days gone by and because of his qualifications for such position. We most heartily endorse the appointment by Governor Goodrich to secretary of state of our friend and neighbor “Deacon” Roach and wish him God speed in his present endeavor for nomination. We heartily endorse the state organization of the Republican party of Indiana for its efficiency and faithfulness to the work for which it is chosen to do and we cannot dose this opportunity to especially thank the secretary of such committee, L. W. Henley for his untiring efforts in this work and we urge the new state committe to consider carefully the propriety of choosing him to lead the state organization. Respectfully submitted, E. MILES NORTON. HOMER HENNEGAR. A. K. SILLS, Jr. Committee on Resolutions.

DEATH CALLS MRS.J.H. O’NEALL

DAUGHTER OF MR. AND MRS. E. M. PARCELLS DIED AT HOSPITAL SATURDAY. The. community was stunned Saturday evening with the announcement of the death of Mrs. John O’Neall at the county hospital at about 8:30 o’clock, following an operation for an abdominal hemorrhage due to a ruptured blood vessel. Mrs. O’Neall’s condition was very critical from the time she entered the hospital, and the physicians entertained but little hope for her recovery. As a last desperate measure to save her life the physicians resorted to an operation, but without success, and she succumbed a few moments later. Mrs. O’Neall was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Parcells, of this city, and is well known to all of our citizens. At the time of her death she was thirty-nine years of age, having been born Sept. 1, 1878, in this city where the greater part of her lifetime was spent. ' On August 14, 1899 the deceased was united in marriage to John H. O’Neall, to which union one child, Sarah Alice, was born. Bertha Parcells O’Neall was a beautiful character, and her departure from this life will be received with much regret by this as well as other communities. She was noted for her devotion to her family and friends. There was no task too great for her where the interests of others were at stake, and her cheerful disposition saw good in life to the exclusion of all evil. There was no sacrifice too great for her to make, and her life as she lived it should be an example for others to follow. The deceased leaves to mourn their loss her husband and one child, Sarah Alice; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Parcells; two brothers, Fred, of St. Louis, Mo., and Rue, of Amarilla, Texas. Funeral services will be held at the Christian church Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Rev. Asa McDaniels will be in charge. 1

FIRE DESTROYS COOK STORE

McCOYSBURG STORE AND MOST OF CONTENTS DESTROYED BY FIRE. The large general store caught fire at McCoysburg today about 11:00 a. m. and the building and contents were consumed. The building and stock belonged to Washington Cook, former trustee of Hanging Grove township. The loss is partially covered by insurance. Nothing was saved but a small portion of the stock of dry goods. The Babcock & Hopkins elevator which was very near the store building was saved by a most heroic effort. The origin of the fire is unknown.

EVERY ONE WANTS MONEY’S WORTH

Natural Desire 1$ Not to Get the Worst of Any Business ' Transaction. CHEAPEST NOT ALWAYS BEST Person Who Buys From Catalogue House Sees Only the Price ahd Forgets That Value le Thing That Counts. (Copyright.) - When you spend your money you naturally want to get all you can in return. No one can criticize you for having that desire. Only those who, are commonly referred to as having j “more money than sense” throw their money away. All others are careful to i see that they do not get the worst of any bargain. But one has to be able to look farther than the end of his | nose if he Is to be sure that he is get- j ting the most that he can get for his money. ", i

That is the defense of the man who buys from the mail order house Instead of prftronizlng the merchants in his own town. He says he can get more for hls money when he buys from the mall order man than when he spends hls money at home. But in arriving at that conclusion he certainly has not been able to look further than the end of his nose. In most cqses the man who buys goods from a mall order house does so because he thinks he is getting the goods for less money than he would have to pay for them at the store in hls own town. He thinks he is looking out for No. 1 and he says it is not hls fault if the merchant in hls town cannot make any money and is forced to go out of business. He overlooks the fact that he is likely to be as hard hit as anyone else when that merchant closes hls doors but, leaving that probability out of consideration, the chances are about 10 to 1 that the buyer has really lost money on his deal with the mail order man. Price Not Only Consideration. If buying an article of any kind, whether it be a house and lot or a paper of pins, the price is not the only thing to be considered by any means. You are not in the habit of going into a store when you want to buy a suit of clothes and saying to the storekeeper: “Give me the cheapest suit of clothes you have in the house.” You want the best suit of clothes you can get for the price you pay for it, but you don’t usually want the cheapest thing you can find. x

A man may delude -himself Into be-1 llevlng that when he buys a suit of i clothes from a mall order house for | $lO he is saving money, but what is there to justify him in such a belief? The mere fact that he is getting a suit for $lO does not mean that he is saving money. The chances are that if he should go to the man who runs the clothing store in his own town and ask for it he could get a suit of clothes for $lO and the chances are also that it would be just as good if not a better bargain than the suit which he could get from the mail order house for the same sum. It is not the price he pays that shows whether he is getting a bargain or not It is the quality of goods that he gets for his money that counts. Can Undersell Mall Order House. The home merchant can sell as cheaply as the mail order man if he sells as cheap goods as the mail order man sells. His expenses are not as heavy as those of the. mall order man. He pays less rent in proportion to the business he does, his taxes .are less in proportion to the capital invested. His advertising bills are less than those of the mall order man in proportion to the volume of his sales. He can undersell the mall order man any day in the year if he wishes to sell only goods of the same quality and style of those sold by the mall order man, but he doesn’t do this because he knows that the majority of the people tn his town do not want that quality and style of goods. Therefore he keeps in stock goods of all qualities and all prices. He has the $lO suit for the man who thinks that he can get more for his money by buying a suit at that price than he can by buying a better one for S2O, but he tells the customer just what he is buying. The next time you think about buying something from a mall order house, if yon ever do think of such a thing, go first to your home merchant and ask to see the article which you are thinking of buying. Ready to Compare Prices.

Tour home merchant Is a business man. He gets the best, values he can for bls money when he buys goods, and he does not expect his customers to do anything else. AU that he asks, In return for the favors he does his customers and the things he does for the good of his community is that he be given an opportunity to meet the insidious competition of the mail order house. He is perfectly willing to have his prices and his values compared to those of the mail order house, but he has a just complaint when he is not given a chance to make this comparison. It all buyers would take the value as wen as the price of the article they are buying into consideration, the mail order houses would all go out st biMfr* sees toxrfbrrow. . _

MEN IN FRANCE MUST EAT

Army of Million Will Require IT Shlpe Unloading Ono Hundred Million Pounds Daily. The American army In France will need some transporting. Here are figures that are at least approximately correct, writes Charles H. Grasty sh New York Times. It is estimated that 100 pounds of freight a man each day must be unloaded at the port of debarkation. Therefore, wheife, at the end of two yean, we have, say, 1,000,000 men in France we must unload dally 100,000,000 pounds of freight, or 60,000 tons. Three thousand tons can be unloaded dally from a good-sized ship; hence 17 ship* at' the wharves, each of them unloading 8,000 tons, will fill the requirements. In the United States 17 ships must be loading 50,000 tons a day. This makes a total of 34 ships at the docks. Taking as a basis a 6,000 ton (dead weight) ship, we see 17 ships must leave New York every two days and 17 ships leave some French port every two days in transit with army freight. Assuming ten days as the time of passage, there would be 170 ships (6,000 tons) on the way to and from the United States, which, added to the 84 at the docks, will make a total of 804 ships, assuming no loss or delay. With 1,000,000 men there will be approximately 200,000 animals. At 14 pounds of hay a day, there would be required for six months more than 456,000,000 pounds of hay, which must be imported, and also 860,000,000 pounds of oats. Rations will require 815,000,600 pounds. Ammunition will run into the billions of pounds.

Ways to Save Coal.

Coal may be saved, says the superintendent of a college beating plant at Manhattan, by keeping an even fire so the rooms will not become overheated. At times when the rooms are not occupied the heat should be shut off from them, In case you use a furnace. Fires should be carefully banked at night, so that they will not allow the house to become chilled. Coal should be put in often and in not too large quantities at a time. Keep a full bed of live coals constantly, but be careful not to overload the fire with too much coal. If the furnace has an open, coarse grate, use coarse coaL If it has a fine grate, use fine coaL It is wasteful to throw large, heavy chunks of coal into the furnace. The lumps should not be larger than three or four inches in diameter. All large pieces .should be broken. Frequent stirring of the fire la wasteful, as pieces only partially burned fall through the grate.

HELPING PAPA.

“Ah I” sighs the enamored swain, as the taxicab rolls smoothly and swiftly on Its way. “If we might ride on thus forever together 1 Would it not seem heavenly to you?” Wt might be very nice,” calmly responds the beautiful creature. "Papa owns a half-interest in this taxicab company.”

Hints for Pie Bakers.

The next time you bake pies, especially juicy pies, try adding a little corn starch to the crust. One teaspoonful to a pie will prevent the under crust from being heavy. Try mixing the sugar and flour and adding it to the fruit before putting your pie together. The pie will be more evenly sweetened and you will not bite into any lumps of flour. Do not stretch the top crust In pressing the edges together push the edge of the top crust toward the center of the pie. This allows plenty of room for the fruit to cook and prevents the crust from bursting open and the juice escaping. Save an ounce of juice or an ounce of meat or potato.

Breakfast Puffs.

Two cupfuls sour mOk, one teaspoonful soda, one teagpoonfttl salt one egg and -flour enough to roH out Uke biscuit dough. Out into narrow strips one Indi wide and three inches long; fry brown in hot land, Uke doughnuts, or fry in spider with half lard and half butter, browning on both sides. Serve hot. nxrsilsut With coffee . ■-- - >

THE WAR MOTHERS ORGANIZE

On Saturday afternoon at three o’clock a deeply interested group of women met in the court house and organized the Jasper county branch of a society known as tfle War Mothers, which is rapidly being formed all over the United States. These mothers of soldiers have in common a supreme interest in the welfare of their sons, and by means of this organization they hope to increase the comfort and well-being of the boys and to provide for themselves a circle of sympathetic friends in this time of strain. Any mother of a soldier or sailor boy is eligible to the society and every Jasper county boy in the service is to be regarded, as a son by these big hearted women and will be urged to write to them if lonesome or in need of something that women’s hands can supply. Thus any of our boys without home ties can feel sure of the interest and sympathy of the War Moth* era.

The Indianapolis headquarters has asked to be supplied with a list of the members, so each of the twentysix mothers present registered her own name and that of her son dr sons in the service. The roll call was tremendously impressive with its record of sons in this country and in France in all departments of the service. The officers of the county organization are Mrs. C. W. Hanley, chairman, Mrs. A. L. Padgitt, vice-chair-man; Mrs. Charles Spitler, secretary, and Mrs. Crooks, treasurer. Each township will have its own sub-organization and. the chairmen were appointed as follows: Wheatfield, Mrs. Simon Fendig. Union, Mrs. Charles Gundy. Milroy, Mrs. Wm. Fisher. Jordan, Mrs. James Bullis. Keener, Mrs. Charles Spencer. Kankakee, Mrs. Samuel Seegrist. Newton, Mrs. Joseph Thomas. Marion, Mrs. Frank Babcock. Barkley, Mrs. Robert Eib. Hanging Grove, Mrs. John Phillips. The chairmen for Carpenter, Walker and Gillam townships will be appointed as soon as possible. The next meeting will be held in the west court room on Saturday, March 30, at three o'clock and every war mother in the county is urged to attend.

Guineas Get Ride.

Any of the young blood of Indianapolis- will testify that “chickens” (in one of the later acceptances of the word) are very fond of street car and automobile riding, observes the Indianspoils News, but it is noj often that four guineas of the common or garden digging variety have an opportunity to disport themselves in or on a city street car. Amid a chorus of squawks from about 100 coops of turkeys and other fowls in front of William Locks’ flsb and poultry place at 1027 Virginia avenue, the other day four guineas escaped from n coon, and a series of hops, flops and flights landed them on the trolley pole of n street car headed for Washington strvet, where they evidently regarded it policy to* sit tight At any rate they were not tempted from their perch by downtown window displays or moving picture theaters. On the back trip the street car stopped in front of Locks’, and the motormni shouted: “Here are your guineas.’ Eager hands helped them to alight, and they were taken back home.

Danish Statistics.

Very few European countries only wete in a position to proceed, since August 1, 1914, with their normal quin quennial census. Denmark is one ot the exceptions, says an exchange. On February 1, 1916, the little kingdom” counted 2,920,000 inhabitants, 1. e., hd Increase of 163,000 souls over the cen sus of f9ll. The distribution ratio is 75 inhab itants to the square kilometre. The Copenhagen Frederiksberg county contains 605,000 Inhabitants, 1. e., more than one-fifth of the total population. The 74 other cities number 604,000 people. Rustic population, 1.711,000. The three principal cities, besides Copenhagen, are: Aarhus, 66,000; Odense, 45,000, and Aalborg, 38,000. The present war Increased the Importance of the seaport town of Esbjerg (19,000 Inhabitants), which hardly existed 50 years ago.

Concerning Gasoline.

The war department -has estimated that the dally gasoline needs of America for war purposes will be 959,000 gallons for the next few years. Government figures show that the total dally gasoline production tn the united States Is 6,849,000 gallons. The Bureau of Mines has authorised the publication of a bufletin which states that a saving of 1,500,000. gallons of gasoline may be effected every day by Americans by the careful observation of certain simple suggestions! The bureau of mines would conserve a half million gallons more of gasoline dally than will bo demanded by the government to operate Its necessary war equipment or to carry on Its other necessary industries during times of war. What Americans need to learn at this time is to conserve gasoline judiciously and sensibly.—Peoria Journal.

Turn Out Limbs In 48 Hours.

Two Clyde shipbuilding Arms have been turning their attention to the manufacture of artificial Jimbo, says a Glasgow correspdbdent, and have produced in 48 hours a limb at a moderate cost which la said to be far superior to any other produced in the country.
