COL. BILL CAMPBELL DRILLS SOLDIERS

Col. Bill Campbell and his company of young soldiers were on the streets Wednesday evening on parade. These young fellows have the spirit of real soldiers and were able to go through many of the drill exercises. It was a mighty fine sight to see these youngsters march down the street in perfect step and obeying the commands of Col. Campbell with perfect precision. More of the boys should volunteer and swell the numbers of Col. Bill’s soldiers.

No Stronger Evidence Can Be Had In Rensselaer. Look well to their record. What they have done many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of future results. Anyone with a bad back; any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from kidney ills, should find comforting words in the following statement: Mrs. Aaron Hickman, W. Vine St., Rensselaer, says: “I had such severe backaches, headaches and pains across my loins that I couldn’t sleep well. I felt tired and worn out when morning came. I had no strength or ambition to do anything. I finally got Doan’s Kidney Pills from B. F. Fendig’s Drug Store, and they gave me relief at once. Doan’s strengthened my kidneys, relieved me of the backaches and made me feel fine.” (Statement /given May 31, 1907.) On February 29, 1916, Mrs. Hickman said: “Doan’s Kidney Pills have surely done good work in our family. I shall always praise them.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Hickman has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. '

NEW GARDEN HUCKLEBERRY.

Owing to the scarcity and rarity of this new and wonderful fruitvegetable, we did not have enough plants to supply all of our customers last year and the demand will be greater this year. However, we are going to offer a few plants this spring and those wanting to try this new fruit should let us book their .order now. Strong plants, 3c or 25c per doz. Help to win the war by growing some of these new huckleberries. The plants should be treated the same as. tomatoes. They grow about 3 feet high and are literally covered with lucious. fruity black, incolor and about the size of cherries, i Our experience has taught us . that ! fruits should not be picked until thoroughly ripe. Even after a light .frost they are better and cook up 'finer. When cooked with apple, lemon or any kind of sour fruit, they surely make fine pies, sauce or jelly and can be used for making homemade wine. You will be astonished and delighted with this wonderful, ! easily grown novelty. Send us your order to day—tomorrow night will be too late. Plants can be pulled up iin fall and hung up in cellar and ripe, ■ fresh fruit can be picked long after snow falls. I also would advise that you try some of our purple peach tomatoes. They resemble some peaches so 'closely in size, shape and general apj pearance that at a short distance .away they could be taken for a 'peach. Color, purple, blending with jorange-umber. Very productive and make fine pies and preserves. Plants ! 3c or 25c per doz. Plants ready May first. All kinds of flower and vegetable plants and enough for every‘body. Phone 216 Green.

RECORD OF THE PAST

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1918.

HOOD CORNER THE NEIGHBOR-

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY CO. AGENT LEAMING. THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER Plant a Field of Corn to Hog Off. Leading farmers of this county all agreed that hogging off corn should be followed on every well managed farm, where corn is grown and fed to hogs, as the grains are more economical and rapid than when the hogs are fed by hand and the labor of harvesting and feeding corn is saved. The use of a supplementary portein feed increases the rate of gain and the total acre gain reduces the cost of production. Soy beans grow with the corn or tankage or oil meal fed in a sblf feeder have increased the rate of gain and decreased the cost 30 per cent. In a trial last fall, soy beans planted with corn produced 179 pounds of pork per acre than corn alone. At 15 cents per pound this extra amount of pork means $26.85 per acre in favor of adding soy beans, or $4.00 per acre more than where tankage was fed to supplement the corn hogged off. Soy beans should be planted in rows with the corn on the same day the corn is planted. The bean planting attachment is most satisfactory but the farmer expecting to plant a few may drill the beans in the corn rows immediately after the corn is planted setting the planter a couple of notches shallower so that the corn is not disturbed. Soy beans and corn help solve the problem of cheaper pork production.

Hog Men to Hold Important Session. W. H. Pulline, of the county hog production committee, has issued a call for all breeders of pure-bred hogs to meet at the better farming association office in the court house Saturday afternoon, May 4th at 2:00 o’clock. Mr. Pullins wishes to present a plan of swine improvement, which should be of interest to every breeder. Mr. J. S. Shanklin, of Purdue, is expected to be present and deliver a short talk. The number of producers of purebred swine in this county is daily increasing. The hog production committee desires that they should cooperate as fully as possible in making their work most successful. Farmers’ Club*. The regular meeting of the Gillam Farmers’ club will be held at Independence church next Wednesday evening, May Ist. A good program has been arranged by the new committee in charge. The May meeting of the Parr community club will be held>at the Par/ school house rext Thursday evening, May 2nd. Prof. John Schwab, of Purdue, will be the principal speaker. The North Union Farmers’ club will hold its regular meeting at Virgie, Saturday evening, May 3rd. President Dexter has made arrangements for an excellent program and all are invited to attend.

Conservation of Machinery. The farm management committee of the Better Farming association has suggested a means of conserving the farm machinery of the county. Machinery is high and will doubtless go higher, yet there are many machines and implements which have been discarded for the lack of a few repairs. Other machines lack parts which might be supplied from these implements. If, instead of selling broken machinery for junk, our farmers would advertise it in the local papers, many actual savings would result. Advertisements for repairs wanted should also give results. Any savings which may be made in this way are clear “velvet’* for the*farmers of the county and will help relieve the congested manufacturing conditions. AIL Pull , Together For Better Garden* The horticulture committee of the Better Farming Association together with Wm. Bringle of the council of defense have planned a final drive in the interests of larger and better gardens this season. “There is a greater necessity for good gardens this year than last,” says A. H. Hopkins of the garden committee. “Last year we were not required to conserve wheat, sugar and .other articles to the extent that we are asked this year and we must have good gardens not to replace these materials shortage. I know of many farmers who bought their potatoes and other vegetables last winter who could have produced enough to supply themselves and to spare with very little extra effort.” “I especially urge that all persons who can get a piece of ground raise at least enoiight of the staple vegetables to supply their own families and relieve the situation as much as possible. It will not only help win the war but it will do much to keep down lining expenses in these times when food prices are so high.” When In Doubt—Eat Cheese. Economy in the diet does not always depend upon limiting the use of certain foods, but sometimes it means the increasing of the use of foods which furnish nutritious materials at a low cost. Milk belongs to the latter class and the housewife would do well to study its food value.

HAD PRESS BUSINESS THERE; LOCKED IN

Wheatfield Review. Quite a number of north end citizens motored to the county seat last Friday evening to hear the, Jackies band play, and those who heard the music were highly pleased. Among those from here were Warren J. White, who had never seen the court house before, so after the band quit playing he went over in the court house and the janitor believing that everybody had gone home locked the county capital building up. After Warren had looked all around the interior of the court house, he tried to get out and found he couldn't and his friends who had b®en looking all over town for him, appealed for aid to County Superintendent Sterrett. Well Morgan said, if you folks looked all over town for him what’s the use and then somebody said they had looked every place but the court house and lo and behold that’s where they found him and when they asked what he was doing in there he replied, “what would a man go to the court house' for at that time of night.”

Mr. and Mrs. Richard D. Wangelin returned from Indianapolis Wednesday afternoon. The return trip was made in a new Ford runabout.

Many people think of milk as only a beverage, but it is in reality a nourshing food, the only real food provided by nature. There are many places where skim milk is not being used as it should be, on the farms and creameries. Now, the food administration is urging for a greater use of skim milk in the manufacture of cottage cheese. It has been found out that cottage cheese is an efficient and* economical substitute for meat. Each pound of cottage cheese furnishes as much protein or bodybuilding material as the same weight of most meats and is very much cheaper. It is- also valuable source of energy though not quite as high as food with fat, but this can be supplied by serving it with cream. It can be easily made on a small scale and requires no special equipment. And because of its ease in making, it is desirable to make ,the cheese often so that it may be eaten fresh, although if it is kept cool it will keep well for several days. Cottage cheese alone is an appteizing and nutritious dish, but it can successfully be combined with many other foods. It should be used in as mahy ways as' possible in the diet, as in salads, desserts, and sandwitches. “Perhaps the scarcity of meat will turn us more to cheese, a gbod digestible and upstanding food. It is the belief that the dairy industry is an important one in solving the world food question, because the dairy cows is the most economical producer of human food to be found on the farm.” * Cottage Cheese Demonstration*. Miss Beall, the government cheese expert from Purdue, will give only two demonstrations in Jasper county. One will be given at Rensselaer at the domestic science kitchen in the grammar building at 2:00 p. m. on Monday, April 29th. The second will be given at the Remington assembly room in the high school on Tuesday, April 30th, at 2:00 p. m. Everyone come.

VISITING SUFFRAGISTS PUSH WAR WORK

Indianapolis, Ind., April 25.—Suffragists and war workers, national and state, occupied Indianapolis this last week. Interestingly enough, it was hard to determine whether they had met to discuss best ways of securing suffrage of best ways to serve the government. Thursday was set aside for discussion of women’s war service, and the Franchise League led off with its closing session Thursday morning, entirely given over to the reports and stirring talks on suffrage committees doing war work. Mrs. Anne Studebaker Carlisle, chairman of the woman’s section Indiana state council of defense, spoke briefly at the morning session, thanking the franchise league for support given her committees. She presided at a patriotic luncheon at the Claypool Thursday noon, which was attended by many convention delegates and interested war workers of Indianapolis and the state.

<Hie honor guests were Dr. Shaw, chairman of the woman’s committee, council of national defense, and other women connected with state and national defense work, who were in attendance at the executive council meeting of the National American Woman Suffrage Association held in Indianapolis, April 18th and 19th. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, chairman of the educational section of the woman’s committee, spoke of the great need of Americanization work. Other speakers were Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers, head of the woman’s land army movement, and treasurer of the national suffrage association; Mrs. Walter McNab Miller, director of Missouri’s food production work, and president of the Missouri suffrage association; Mrs. Guilford Dudley, one of the twelve women on the woman’s national liberty loan committee, and 3rd vice-president of the national suffrage association; Mrs. Edward McGehee, chairman woman’s section of the Mississippi council of defense and president of the Mississippi suffrage association. This wonderful woman’s war service day closed in a burst of glory with Mr. Michael Foley presiding over a patriotic gathering at Hollenbeck Hall Thursday evening, at which Dr. Shaw as principal speaker made a stirring patriotic appeal. The keynote of the day was service. The key-note of both the franchise league, convention and the national executive council meeting was the need of suffrage as a war measure. / Mrs.. Catt’s stirring talk at the dinner Wednesday evening when the members of the national executive council of the national woman suffrage association were guests of the woman’s franchise league of Indian#, showed *the* fallacy of giving" up work for suffrage at this time. “We are a nation that lives by and for ideals, and it was for an ideal that men went to war,” declared Mrs. Catt. “It was because the American ideal of democracy—the democracy that means equal votes- —was threatened, that this great country entered the struggle against the Hohenzollems, and if the question of woman suffrage is set aside now, it would mean that our country is living a lie. But I refuse to believe that the Hohenzollerns shall ever rule over this country quite as firmly as I refuse to believe that the senate and the legislatures will deny the- American women the freedom for which we are offering our men and our fortunes.”

DEAN STANLEY COULTER TO BE HERE MAY 2nd

On Thursday evening, May 2, Dean Stanley Coulter, of Purdue university, will be in Rensselaer to speak at the big mass meeting to be held under the auspices of the local council of the Knights of Columbus. Chas. Niezer, of Ft. Wayne, will also be on the program of the evening. It is the plan of the local war committee of the Knights to have one of the largest patriotic meetings so far held in the city and every citizen of Rensselaer and surrounding community is urged and invited to be present at this celebration.

MRS. A. B. CRAMPTON, DELPHI, PASSES AWAY

Louisa Alford Crampton, wife of Governor A. B. Crampton; of the Marion Military home, died Tuesday evening, after an illness of three weeks with heart trouble.

Three grandchildren also survive. She was a member of the Delphi Baptist church, Charles Caroll chapter of the D. A. R., Order of the Eastern Star, Pythian Sisters and Lincoln circle, and Ladies of the G. A. R.

Gee, how time does fly! Doesn’t it make you feel old to see men who have William McKinley as their first names applying for marriage licenses? Judge Wason announced at ithe beginning of Court Monday that any juror who was able to buy Liberty bonds and who asked to be excused from jury service would have to show that he has purchased a Liberty bond before the request would receive any consideration. In short Judge Wason is very anxious .to see this Liberty loan over subscribed and his course is to be commended.— Monticello Herald. A wholesale arrest of alleged slackers occurred recently at Flint, Michigan, when *5,000 men were taken into custody by the authorities. The men were charged with failure to register under the selective draft law and every man of draft age, who could not show a registration card was arrested. An investigation was made and all of the men, except 100, were released, having satisfied the officers that they had registered in compliance with the law. Motorists should be careful that the spare tire on the rear of the automobile does not dude a part or all of the number on the license plate. Owners of automobiles should also see that the plate is properly lighted at night. The police in many sections are rigidly enforcing the law and motorists will find that paying a fine is an expensive way 'to learn of such mistakes.
