ARMY TRUCKS RUINING ROADS OF NEWTON COUNTY

The State Council of Defense has made a suggestion to the army authorities in Chicago that the truck highway be changed frequently so as to distribute the wear on the local roads throughout the state. The route through this county was laid out via Schneider, but it seems that many or most of the trucks go by way of Thayer and Shelby, and this road is in such shape that the county road superintendent cannot keep it in repair.—Brook Reporter.

WHOLE-HEARTED SERVICE.

Republicans seek to give the War Administration everything needed to make that administration more forceful and more efficient for victory. The people’s part in 1918 is to elect a War Congress to co-operate for victory with the War Administration. The part of- the War Administration is to wage war whole-heartedly and to the utmost, recognizing the war as the people’s war and forgetting the Indiana Democratic organization theory that the “was is an asset of the Democratic party.”

When you see a woman on the street wearing a knee-length skirt and a wish-bone-low waist and a box of rouge on her cheeks these days, it is hard to tell whether she is a chicken or a grandmother. If we loved ourselves as much as we love our neighbors, we would all die from neglect.

HOME COMING WELL ATTENDED

MANY ENJOY THE ANNUAL GATHERING WITH OLD SETTLERS. 7 * Many spent a very pleasant day at Independence church in Gillam township Sunday renewing old acquaintances and enjoying the fellowship of many of the people now living in that community. The exercises of the day were in charge of the president, S. C. Robinson. In the forenoon Rev. J. Budman Fleming delivered a most excellent address on the subject, “God In American History.” This was a religious-patriotic appeal which was thoroughly appreciated by all present. At noon all enjoyed a most bountiful basket dinner. There was a large number of people present at this time, but there was chicken, cakes, pies and other good things in such abundance that twice the number could have been fed. After noon those present enjoyed an hour and a half of social intercourse, and it was delightful to meet so many of the former citizens of this excellent community. The afternoon addresses were made by Dr. S. D. Faust, of a Dayton, Ohio, divinity school. Dr. Faust urged that true Christianity be used in the government and in the business life. The Doctor is a relative of Mrs. Laura Fisher, of Chicago. Mrs. Fisher gave two delightful readings. She was formerly a resident of Gillam township and owns the old Rathfon homestead, which belonged to her parents. Dr. Herman Babson, head of the departmept of modern languages in Purdue university, delivered a masterly address relating to the present great world war. The Doctor was in Germany when war was declared in 1914, and gave a vivid description of the sudden change that cairie over that country at that time. The officers for next year are Perry DeSeims, president, and D. E. Prevo, secretary-treasurer.

NOTICE TO VETERANS. We, J. J. Montgomery, Ellis Thomas and A. E. Wallace, your committee, desire tc meet all the veterans of the battle of “Coon Run” in the sky parlor of the Jack Murphy silo, located at the northern trenches of the Surrey salient, the scene of our late strenuous conflict. Owing to the extreme heat we will meet in the big hole in the straw stack, made famous by the descent of our illustrous leader, J. J. Montgomery. This organization is the successor of our worthy predecessors, the veterans of the battle of “Yorkey’s Run.” In order that none may be absent we can assure our brethren that the coon will not be there, otherwise the meeting would not have been called.

LOCOMOTIVE LOSES A WHEEL.

When just north of Roselawn Sunday morning the large main axle on the locomotive drawing the milk train broke in two and the big drive wheel on that side rolled into the ditch. Fortunately the engine did not turn over and no other damage resulted, as the train was running very slow. Had the train been running fast there would, no doubt, have been a pretty serious wreck. A new engine was sent for and the train reached Lowell about noon.

Ar You Kind’a

Like to read this “excess steam” or over-flow of enthusiasm, which we permit our safety valve to release every Monday evening, don’t you? Every now and then we talk about ourselves. Partley, perhaps, because we like to-—partly because we can’t help thinking it’s good business. For, that “Nothing Succeeds Like Success,” is true as well as trite, is mainly because the world has learned to profit a little (only a little) by other people’s mistakes. Men like to 'buy where other men buy. So the more who buy—the more who buy—and there you are. Hilliard & Hamill weren’tborn owners of six busy stores; nor did the stores exist and get bought' Hilliard & Hamill were born (in a business way) with an IDEA. And the idea grew. Out of it came a small, struggling inadequate store. That first DoHar Bill (about which you’ve " heard before) was the visiting card left by our first Customer—the first ‘ acquaintance (and so, the first friend) of the idea. We wish we knew his name today. For from him came the hundreds of other friends of the idea that have crowded one ’ store after another beyond their capacity, until now there are six great, bright, oheery establishments, all located in different towns, for the idea to live in and meet its friends. That this business has grown so constantly and so healthfully, through good times and bad—peace times and war—-is all because that idea was, and is—right The idea is: “That this store exists to have what their customers, want rather than to find customers for what they have.” Hilliard & Hamill are as they are because they are the unconscious creation of the spirit of hundreds of Give, keen, Rensselaer men. So, after all—in talking about ourselves, we are talking mairily about you, and what there is of selfpraise in ment is really in praise of its readers, which is the /idea again, and as it should be.

GEORGE ADE OF STATE COUNCIL VIEWS LABOR SITUATION

The Indiana State Council of Defense authorizes the following appeal to all local councils and to patriotic citizens: The nation is faced with a shortage of one million unskilled laborers, needed immediately in war industries. Indiana is asked to provide 20,940 unskilled workmen to contractors engaged in war work. The Department of Labor asks every workman to engage in. war work. Farming, railroading and coal-mining are classed as essential industries. The unskilled laborer who is not engaged in raising food-stuffs, or mining coal, or assisting in railway transportation, or in some industry directly contributing to a successful prosecution of the w<ar, is called upon to enlist for war work. Through community war labor boards the government expects to enlist and distribute the* unskilled workers. Later on, skilled workmen not engaged in war work may be assigned to war contracts. Our immediate duty is to organize the unskilled labor of Indiana to assist in the large task of sending to France an unbroken supply of everything needed by our soldiers. Every workman is asked to make it his personal business and first duty to inquire at the local district office of the U. S. Employment Service as to how he can best direct his energies toward the winning of the war. He is urged to engage in war work even if, in performing this patriotic service, he is compelled to change hia place of residence for a time and make certain sacrifices. War work must >be carried on. The call of duty now comes to the unskilled workmen of Indiana. They are asked to give their loyal support to our soldiers at the front.
