NO, HE HAD NOT BEEN TO BEAVERVILLE—JUST LUCKY.

Ray D. Thompson, while entering the postoffice Friday evening slipped and in trying to save himself a fall, lurched into the large plate glass window at the side of the entrance and shattered it into fragments. The entrance to the postoffice has a glass floor and is a dangerous place to set foot, and it is a wonder that some one has not broken a limb before this. It is-especially dangerous in the winter when there is snow and ice oh the ground. It is not known yet who the loss will fall upon, the owner of the building, the insurance company if he carries a policy, or upon Mt. Thompson. Ray certainly should not be called upon to make good the loss, as the accident was through no fault of his.

The average married woman is a* deluded soul who lives on.promises and spends all her money before she gets it and then doesn’t get it. A strange woman with a hard luck story can get ten dollars out of a man when his wife’s hard luck story isn’t good more than a dime. If a fool man ever stood on a sunny corner wearing nothing but a lace curtain and some talcum powder, he would get a ride in the hurry-up wagon. But it is different with a girl. Wm. Wasson, of Rensselaer, is now clerking for Beu Leopold.—’ Brook Reporter. Anyone wishing to see me will find me in the Trust A Savings bank on Saturday afternoons. H. O. Harris, phone ISA

OFFICIAL FOOD NEWS

By Dr.Harry E. Barnard,

Food Administrator for Indiana.

The federal food administration, working in conjunction with the department of agriculture will prohibit profiteering among threshermen. A charge of from 6 to 8 cents per bushel for wheat is believed to be sufficient to cover all increased costs. A proposed rate of 10 cents in Wayne county is regarded as “entirely too high.” A proportionate increase in the price of oats threshing will be permitted, allowing the threshers a fair return. The food administration will co-op-erate with the food and drug division of the state* government to prohibit the traffic in rotten eggs. A definite plan will be worked out at a conference of food administrators at Washington for the guidance of every state. Orders for binder twine are solicited by the federal food administration, in behalf of the supply houses. The administration is regulating the price of sisal twine, in co-operation with the manufacturers. Early orders will facilitate delivery and guarantee against- inconvenience to the farmer. Cars for perishable flood stuffs will be given preferred attention by the director-general of railroads, it is announced to the Indiana State Council of Defense, by Robert E. Wright, assistant to Mr. McAdoo. This information is intended for the encouragement especially of canners and producers deoending upon car service for a satisfactory ana profitable local market

CREEL MAKES APOLOGY FOR INDISCREET WORDS

Washington, May 17.—-George Creel, chairman of the committee on public information, today apologized to the congress for his much discussed recent New York speech, in which he was quoted as saying that as he disliked slumnfing he would not explore the hearts of congressman. “I admit the indiscretion and regret it deeply,” Mr. Creel wrote to Chairman Pou,- of the rules committee, considering resolutions on the incident. The remarks attributed to Creel created a furore in the congress, with demands for investigation of his committee he was unfit to hold his office. It was indicated yesterday by house leaders that the matter probably would be permitted to drop and Creel’s letter to Pou probably assures such a disposition of the incident. ’ Chairman Pou told the committee today he had been advised the letter had been written and would be delivered today. Pou said he met Creel at the office of Secretary Daniels early today. “I do not believe any one could be more severe on Mr. Creel than Mr. Creel was on himself when he talked to me,” Pou said. “He told me he never intended to reflect on the congress and was willing to repair any blunder he may have made.” “I would be willing to accept his apology if he Would tender his resignation,” said Representative Rodenberg, of Illinois, Republican. “I am surprised that the President has not removed him from office.” “I think that if he thought his usefulness as chairman of the committee on public information was at an end he would resign,” replied Mr. Pou. “If he does not know that his usefulness in that position is at an end he is the only one who does not know it,” interjected Representative Campbell, of Kansas, Republican. Mr. Pou further declared Creel had told him in their conversation that he would be willing to be used anywhere the government or the President desired to place him if by making a change he could serve the country to better advantage.

EMPLOYES OF RENSSELAER GARAGE GO ON STRIKE

Five employes of the Rensselaer Garage went on a strike this morning when one of the employes, Bob Smith, was discharged by the foreman, John Schultz. The trouble arose when a customer went to take his dar from the garage without paying the charges. The foreman refused t(T let the car go after Smith had given permission to the custom-' er to take the car. Smith said he had instructions from the owner of the garage to extend credit to this customer and the argument that followed resulted in his discharge. The other employes sided with Smith and helped run the ear out and left with Smith. The strikers are Hugh Kirk and brother, John Dgggins and “Red” Hudson. ’ They say now the only conditions on which they will go back to work will be the discharge of Schultz and a raise in wages of $3 per week each. It is understood that John Marlatt, owner of the garage, is upholding Schultz and that the boys will have to look elsewhere for a new job.

JOHN KNOX SOON TO BE “OVER THERE”

Camp Johnston, Fla., May 14, 1918. Dear Father:—Just finished dinner so will have time to knock out a few lines. It is clouding up and preparing for a hard rain—so I might have all afternoon. About two hours later—been busy checking up equipment. It’s now raining to beat the band. Well, you will have to change my address again. I am in on Over Sea’s Co. Supply Co. 312. O. U. No. 1 was broken up Saturday. We were divided among supply company’s Numbers 311, 312, 313, and training company No. 1. There has been quite a rumpus raised about this last transfer between the officers of the camp and the civilian board which was sent down here by the Q. M. General’s Department in Washington to.put the camp on an efficiency basis and to direct the establishing and running of these schools. The civilian board is kicking because they transfered the students to these supply companies and they might be able to pull us out again but it is very doubtful. The intention, of the board, of course, was to give us, that training and then give us sergeant’s ratings, but is looks as if that plan was knocked into a cocked hat, as it were. Anyway, it turns out I’ve made up my mind to be satisfied. This is a little disapponiting, though to be sent over before we get our ratings as non-com’s.

Ttys Co. (312) has been ready to leave for a month. Has all equipment packed, crated, boxed, painted battleship gray, stamped and otherwise marked ready for immediate movement. All they needed were a few men to bring them up to full strength. They now have it. Some of the fellows think we will go this week, but I’m doubtful. However, it’s only a matter of a short time now—a few weeks at the most—probably less, then we will be on our way. Of course there’s a chance we won’t go for a month or two yet, but I’m telling you this so you will have an idea of what is going on. Nobody knows what a supply company is exactly, but there are a pretty nice bunch of fellows in it, so I’ll get along all right. ' They issued full over sea’s equipment to us last night. «The first thing we got i was a steel helmet. It weighs 3 or 4 pounds and feels like a young stove. Looks just like those pictures you see of them. It is painted ©lave drab color-in which is mixed something that looks like sawdust. This is camouflaged to- make it resemble the ground. Other things we got are havesack, mess pan with cover, canteen and cup in holder, shelter-half with stakes and pole, knives, forks and spoons, bacon can, 1 condiment can (for sugar, salt and pepper), 1 revolver or pistol with 2 extra pistol magazines, 1 pack carrier, pistol belt, pistol holster, 1 first aid pocket. They took a why our khaki clothes and gave us two O. D. wool suits, also our light underwear and sock, gave us 3 suits of heavy wool underwear and five pairs of wool sock about % inch thick. Also got 1 pair of russet dress shoes and two pairs of heavy trench shoes. They are awfully big and heavy, but very comfortable. The rough sides of the leather is outside and smooth is inside. The half sole has 42 hobnails about the size of a pea and the heel is protected by a steel plate about %in thickness. They are made for comfort, not speed, and are sized so that two pairs of heavy socks may be worn with them. Also got a slicker, three wool blankets,, overcoats, etc. So don’t leave much for us to want for. While I think of it, tell Leah to hustle up that sewing kit, needles, thread, buttons, few pins and safety pins. Want just a small kit. ' Have been down to Pablo Beach the past two Sundays, got sunburnt and some blisters, but had a great time.. The ocean was rough and we had great sport diving the breakers and.riding the waves. Had few snap shots taken at the ocean, will try to get some prints and send you some. Will have to close now. How are you feeling? Give my love to the rest of the folks. Write soon. Your son, JOHN.
