JUDSON MICHAL UNDERGOES OPERATION

Judson Michals, who is in a very critical condition at the home of his parents in Reynold with pneumonia, underwent an operation Saturday evening and a large amount of fluid was taken from around has lungs. The doctor has hopes that the young man will recover. However, his condition is still very serious. A letter received by the writer Saturday evening from Gail Michals said that he and ihis brother, Vem, has 'been with Judson all week. He said that one lung was entirely filled up and thought that an operation would be necessary. Through some error a report reached this office last Friday that Judson had passed away. The person making the report had confused his information and the death he meant to report was that of Jonathan Michaels, of Jordan " township. Through a blunder in the office here today the unfortunate notice is again printed and appears in our semiweekly edition which we mail out today. ,'

Persons suffering from indigestion are often troubled with constipation. Mrs. Robert Allison, Mattoon, 111., writes that when she first moved to Mattoon she was a great suffer from indigestion and constipation. Food distressed her and there was a feeling like a heavy weight pressing on her stomach and chest. She did not rest well at night, and felt worn out a good part of the time. One bottle of Chamberlain’s Tablets corrected this trouble so that she has since felt like a different person. C

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, APRIL 29, 1918.

LETTER FROM JASPER BOY WHO IS IN FRANCE

‘ U. S. Naval Aviation Force, Brest, France, March 23, 1918. Dear Ones:— I am at the base hospital having some dental work done. This i 4 the first place I have been that I could tell you where I am and then when at work am some distance from here. Well I had a little" good hick by my hard work. The chief wanted to make a cook out of me, but, nothing doing, so he said he wasn't going to loose me entirely, so he ihade a store keeper of me. Not very hard work and fine pay. We have to transfer supplies across the bay, but it's great sport as I have ja riiotor boat at my own disposal. Pretty fine to go down and tels the motor boatman to take me over to the island and wait for me. About twice a week I cook breakfast for 100 men. Some job to fry spuds, eggs and bacon for the bunch. The troops are coming over all the time. Don't know how many are here or where they come from but they come in every day by the ship load. This is some days later, at last I am all through with the doctors and want to get back to work, have been here two weeks and it seems like a month. At present the outlook is rather dark, but its early yet, so don't get worried about the outcome of the war. How is everyone in the “Burg? have cooks traded places yet? What it John Cook doing? Gee when I get home you can visit all you please, and won’t have to worry about the work at home, for I can do almost everything, such as, wash, cook, scrub, make the beds and take care of all the buying, as I will have that to do for Uncle Sam, so guess I could buy supplies for you. , You said something about sending some addresses of the boys over here, but they never reached me. I did receive one Republican of Feb. 15, but expect there are surely more by this time at the camp as I have not had any mail for two weeks. Five of we boys had our pictures taken, they were fine, will send you one next week. Hoping this reaches you as well as it leaves me. Give my regards to everyone, also don’t forget the dog. Your son, HARVEY.

JACKIES BAND MAKE ASSES OF THEMSELVES

They Should Be Humiliated As They Humiliated Man Who Could Not Hear. The Kokomo Tribune has the following account of an incident that happened during the visit of the Jackies band to that city. A dose of cold lead might be effective in putting a stop to similar acts of rodyism that are happening almost daily in different papts of the country. The Tribune says: “The visit of the Jackies Band to this city Thursday was sadly marred and its influence largely nullified by a display of rowdyism entirely inexcusable and most regrettable. These young men need to be taught an elementary lesson in good behavior and unless they be disciplined effectively they should be taken off the road and returned £9 their training at the Great Lakes station, or better still be sent into the actual service of fighting for which they were enrolled. Their assault on one of our respected citizens because he neglected to remove his hat while the band played “The Star Spangled Banner” was a despicable display of ruffianism born of the spirit of the mob. Their humiliation of this man and the consequent mortification of his daughter was an offense which reasonable people will neither excuse nor condone. The authorities in charge of these men should require them to make due apology to the victims of their effrontery and that would be a poor, amend indeed f <fe the outrage. The mob nearly always misses the mark, as it did in this instance visiting its wrath on a man who deserves every consideration of esteem and respect from the people. His hearing is defective and he did not know what air the band was playing.” The “man referred to above is George W. Roby, an aged citizen of Kokomo. Mr. Roby was at the outer edge of a large crowd listening to the band and his hearing being defective, he did not know what the band was playing. The old man was dragged to the band stand and made to kiss the flag.

On account of the funeral, he got an extension of time for 48 hours and did not leave for Camp Taylor until Saturday night.

WAR MOTHER’S MEETING.

The War Mothers of Jasper county held their third meeting Saturday afternoon in the G. A. R. room in the court house. About thirty-five mothers were present, showing a. decided increase in membership. The meeting was called to order by the chairman, Mrs. C. W. Hanley. Mrs. A. L. Padgett, who attended the state 1 war mothers council in Indianapolis, gave a most interesting account of the meeting.' Mrs. Ora Ross read a letter which she had prepared and which is to be-mailed to each Jasper county boy now in service, asking the boys to make their wants known and they will be taken care of by this organization. Mrs. Foster, of Remington, who was in England when the war broke out, gave an interesting talk. The war mothers voted to send thirty pairs of socks to the Jasper county boys, who are in the Rainbow Division now in France. The organization of the war mothers is certainly a splendid thing as they can take care of the boys as no other organization can do.

K. T. RHOADES A SERGEANT AT CAMP HANCOCK

The following clipping' was taken from the “Trench and Camp** published by the Y. M. C. A. at Augusta, Georgia: First in its field at Camp Hancock, and therefore a model to be followed in making the others that are to come, the 601st Mobile Ordnance Repair Shop Company has been organized and is already built up to the full required strength of 44 men. With their supplies already emblazoned with the emblem, “601 M. O. R. 5.,” this organization boasts a baseball team of unquestioned ability, a track team and a “place in the sun” in drills and military maneuvers. ■ Overseas, this and other similar organizations will be with the fighting units and upon them will rest the responsibility for keeping all the fighting equipment and machinery in repair. Great motor trucks, which are complete machine and repair shops, are used, in which the various technical and mechanical exports will do the work “on the go.” This new departure in warefare will be demonstrated on the battlefield partly by the 601st, and the adapability of the portable machine shop will be determined very largely, it is claimed, by the record established by these first few companies which are being organized. First Lieut, Walter J. Baer commands the unique company. Serg. K. T. Rhoades is the “top,” while “True Blue” Van Patten, for months first sergeant of Company Q, Is in charge of supplies. Lieutenant Baer is proud of Ins small but capable organization, and the entire personnel are proud of the distinction of being “first in the field” here in a company that is intended to go out, hunt up trouble —and then attend to it.

W. S. ROSE ON FIRING LINE IN FRANCE

“Somewhere Over There,” April 2, 1918. —Dear Dad: Well we are back on the front again, and find it just about the same as before. It happens to be raining now, and every road in the country is about like the road east of Frog Lake _school during the spring thaw. It is surprising how the whole country can change in a few days. A week from now the sun will probably be shining warm as early June at home and dust following the trucks and motor cycles down the road. The packages sent me came while I was resting and you can't imagine how welcome they were. Candy, chocolate and smokes can't be bought here. There’s no more to these towns than there is to C. Randle’s siding and stock yards. But away from the villages this is a very pretty country, more rolling than at home, and with the most crooked roads you ever saw. The roads on the maps look like the tracks of a drunken fly.' ‘ _ • I’m hoping to get to see Vern Davisson and Sam Duvall soon. Howard Ames has seen Sam. Howard comes past here in a supply wagdn every day. He’s getting on fine. He told me just the other day that he had just got a box with some of mother’s fruit cake in it. My work is changed now, I’m in charge of the mail for the first battalion — mail and clothing. You remember what my work was at Camp Mills, don’t you. W. E. ROSE, Hq. Co. 150 F. A., A. E. F.
