SUCCESSFUL BENEFIT

WAR MOTHERS’ BENEFIT WAS VERY LARGELY PATRONIZED.

The benefit given by the War Mothers’ of this county Saturday afternoon was a decided success. The gross proceeds amounted to about $85.00, while the amount netted will be about $50.00. This is a great organization and will undoubtedly take a most prominent place in the war activities. It function will be to look after the needs of our own boys who have gone to the war. The boys who know the value of mother’s love will fight with greater valor if they can be sure that mother is still loving and sacrificing for them. «

PAPERS LIKELY TO BE FORCED TO CASH IN ADVANCE BASIS

A letter received from the U. S. War Industries Board by the Republican says that “The question of prohibiting the sending of all periodicals, newspapers, weeklies and monthlies, after the expiration of subscription, is now under consideration and will be acted upon in the near future.” If such action is decided upon this, will force all publications to adopt a cash-in-advance rule for all subscribers.

Harry Parker, in response to the patriotic fever, has been doing his bit by raising a large amount of vegetables in his large truck patch. That this is done for patroitic rather than financial reasons there can be no doubt. But Mr. Parker often becomes discouraged. Not long ago while working with the sweat of honest toil running down his face, Harry was seen to straighten up and make these remarks, “Well why should I break my back this way, when my studio brings me sufficient financial . returns and when some of this labor is lost by stock running at large and destroys a large portion of my products.” It is understood that when the stock first got into Harry’s truck patch that he thought it was an accident, when they got in the second t;ime he considered it carelessness and the third time he regarded it as pure cussedness and other offenses, well they are surely aggravating. About the only way to get a wife who can cook like mother used to cook it to marry an old woman who has had mother’s experience with a cook stove. \

FORMER RENSSELAER TEACHER DOES HER “BIT”

Mrs. Elizabeth Kaub, who formerly taught several years in the Rensselaer primary department, writes from Watertown, Wis., where for the last 4% years she has made her home with her son Verne, who graduated from the high school here in 1908. , v She says she wanted to feel that she was helping in the world’s work of saving, serving and conserving, so she is working with the Watertown Canning Company, a plant which employs over 200 workers, the larger part of which are girls and women. As in everything else, the women have taken up the work of the men, who are serving their country “over there.” More than twice as many women are employed this year than last year. The season only lasts from four to six weeks, but the output is tremendous. So far this season the largest number of cans put up in one day (24 hours) was 186,000 July 3rd. There are two sets of workers, one who works days and the other at night. Besides the main plant here in the city, there ,are five outlying stations, called vineries, where the peas are shelled by machinery. After being delivered there -by the farmers in wagon loads like hay. # The equipment and facilities for quick work are truly wonderful and the WatertoWn brand of peas are shipped all over the world. You may find yourself eating some of them during the coming months. In considering the results of such a great industry, there is satisfaction in the thought; “I helped.” Mrs. Kaub states that her health . is better than it has been for several years.

LETTERS FROM SUBSCRIBERS

THEY. COME FROM MISSISSIPPI, CANADA, NEW YORK AND MINNESOTA. From Lt. George W. Healey. 137th Field Artillery, Camp Shelby, Miss., July 12, 1918. Clark & Hamilton, Rensselaer Republican, Rensselaer, Indiana. Am enjoying the best of health but am working very hard from morning until flight. How does this sound? Reveille at 5 a. m., drill the company with rifles from 6 a. m. until 7 a. m., work in the supply office from then until 3 p. m., artillery school from 3 p. m. to 6 p. m. and 7 p. m. to 9 p. m. This is five days a week; sometimes I get Saturday afternoon off and very little work Sunday. However, next Sunday our company will spend the day at the rifle range. The drafted men are coming in thick and fast. In the last bunch our Company got 15 men from Mississippi. I have seen slower men but I don’t remember jtist where it was. However, they all seem willing and I believe with the training they are getting will soon “crack” ' out of their stupor. I see Col. Healey quite often although he is very busy. There seems to be no rest for him nor any Sunday. He is in command of the 76th Infantry Brigade during the temporary absence of General Judson. Mother and the rest of the family were up here for about ten days Stay just having returned to New Orleans last week. They like it very much there. We expect mother up here again tomorrow. She will stay with my wife and I at our home in Squaw Camp. If you have never heard of Squaw Camp it is a colony of small houses built by the officers just at the edge of the reservation so that they may have their wives with them arid, feel more at home. Our camp is composed mostly of people from Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia. If one has never seen a Squaw Camp it is something worth seeing. We have a church and Store and feel really at home. It really is my home. No one should ever feel that this boys are abused here for this is an excellent camp. Lots of hot weather but good tefots, cool nights and the best of food. The days are-drifting by very fast and it has been almost a year since we were called into the service. Our work has long ago settled down to a regular routine and there is little variance, from day to day. Will close for this time with best wishes to both Mr. Clark and Mr. Hamilton as well as others at the office. '■ Very truly, LT. GEORGE W. HEALEY. From Canada. Big Valley, Alta, Canada, z July 4, 1918. Clark & Hamilton, Rensselaer. Am sending my subscription a little late but have been in the country all spring with no chance to get in to the post office. No craps here; all dried up; hasn’t rained to amount t<T anything this spring; doesn’t look as though this -end of Canada will have much wheat for the Allies. So you fellows must do your best. E. L. WOLFE.

Glenwood, Minn., July 12, 1918. To The Editor: ’ For some time I have been wanting to write you and let the relatives and friends know that our only child and son, George E. Sayler went to Minneapolis, May 11 and volunteered his service. He left home June 3rd for Minneapolis and was sent to Jefferson Barracks, Mo., and from there to Camp Jackson, South Carolina. George was 20 years old the 14th of February and had always worked on a farm until 3 months previous to his departure, when he resigned as yard clerk at the Zoo depot. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Sayler, who formerly lived three mines east of Rensselaer, on the Henry Sayler homestead. Mrs. Sayler before her marriage was Miss Lydia B. Wuerthner and a well know teacher in our public schools. The Sayler family left here in 1905 and since then have made their home in Minnesota. Mrs. Sayler visited relatives and friends here 2 years ago. George enlisted in the field artillery and his present address is Private George E. Sayler, Battery B, 6th Train Battalion, F. A. R. D., Columbia Camp Jackson, South Carolina. He likes his work fine and like the rest of our brave boys, is anxious to get to France as soon as possible. Mrs. Sayler says we surely enjoy reading the letters from the boys who are in service and always send the paper to George. We are glad to read Rensselaer is backing our boys in every way possible. Our subscription will expire some time in August, but we intend to again renew our subscription,' so please do not let us miss a copy. Wishing you the best, we are yours, MR. AND MRS. J. H. SAYLER.

CHARLES F. PHARIS HAS VOLUNTEERED

Quite in contrast to many who are seeking in some way to avoid the draft, Charles F. Pharis, who was placed in Class 4, has volunteered and asked the local board that he be sent wiith the selectmen who are to leave here Tuesday, July 23rd. His name is among the seventy to leave for Camp Taylor on that date. The local board have quite a number who are not at all anxious to get into the service and who have appealed to the district board. Some . who have been given deferred classification .by the district board are causing a great amount of unfavorable comment. The local board is being censored by many when, if the facts were known, it would be found that the registrants and the district board are the ones to blame if those who should go to war have been granted deferred classification. Those who are complaining about unfairness and favors shown by the local conscription board should know the facts and be governed by them. It has been reported that a great majority of the men who have been drafted are Democrats when in truth the greater per cent are Republicans. In fairness to the local board this matter should be canvassed by the chairmen of the two political parties and* a sworn statement of the facts published. The matter of the re-classifica-tion by the district board Should be taken up by the county council of defense in its meeting Wednesday and steps should be taken to at least investigate the many complaints that are being made. . .. This matter should be done in the open and every act of either toe local or district board should be made to square itself with absolute fairness.
