RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1918.

“LEFTY" BEATS THE TYPEWRITER.

The following letter is from the former assistant editor of the Republican, Howard B. Clark: Camp Zachary Taylor, Ky., September 14, 1918. Pear Mr. Hamilton: — Having a few minutes this morning, thought I would drop you a few lines and let you know that I wrote Fred a long letter the other day, as you requested me to do. Know he will appreciate. Was certainly sorry to learn of his misfortunes and trust that his injuries are not of a serious nature. I guess things like that, however, are to be expected when one gets on the other side; he has indeed been fortunate at that. Well, the last few days and nights have been unusually cool and an extra blanket at night comes in mighty fine, but I feel better than I did this summer when it was so hot. Am still in the Development Battalion running a typewriter and like the work fine, although it is confining. Hope that during the cold winter months I shall draw an inside job —but then I guess I can stand it outside if the fellows on the other side can lay in trenches during the same kind of weather. ' Your paper is certainly looking, good of late and I believe it is improving each day. The letters from the fellows in this game prove mighty interesting and a newspaper is the medium by which one. can keep acquainted with the happenings of his fellow-men. Was thinking the other day what a wonderful place Rensselaer would be to live in when this is all over and the fellows get back with their various tales. One can hardly realize how many of them are over there. See Bummer Davisson has been decorated with the Croix de Guerre, and hope that all of Fred’s hardships will bring him a like reward; he is certainly deserving of it. Dean has been made a SergeantMajor and has been transferred to the headquarters company, the place where he has been on special duty the past several months. He is within a stone’s throw of me.

Was certainly startled the other evening as I was walking down the road. Heard someone shout, “Hello, ILefty.’ ” I looked back and Jhere was Edwin Robinson and Archie Lee. Suppose you know by this time that .these two Camp Shelby veterans are now at this camp where they came to attend the Artillery Officers’ Training school. They were both surprised with the wonderful camp we have here and asserted that it was incomparable as far as Camp Shelby was concerned. Haven’t seen them since but understand through Dean that they are coming over to see us this afternoon. The Yanks are sure giving “Bill, the Damned,” something he wasn’t looking for, and I hope that the weather during the coming winter months will permit them to keep up the work they 'have started so well. A few more months of such work and the “Baby Murderer” will be ready to throw up the sponge. Well, Will close for this time with the hope that Fred speedily recovers and that you are in the best of health. Sincerely,

THE SHOE BEGINNING TO PINCH.

The Democratic state central committee is trying to explain the test of congressional fitness, as applied by the National Security League to votes on “the eight principal preparedness and wdr measures.” Analysis of the votes on those measures before the Sixty-fourth and the present congress is not all to the liking of Indiana Democrats who are talking so glibly about me importance of “supporting the President” by sending Democrats to congress. It shows that Indiana Republicans stood by the President and his war program more loyally than have the Democrats. The league’s estimate is particularly worrying to Messrs. Rauch, Barnhart and Cox, who are seeking to get back to Washington on their records.

The committee tries to convey the impression that the National Security League does not represent anybody except a lot of “cranks.” It does not come out, as did Representative Barnhart, who characterized it as “thg stool pigeon of the opposition.” He, of course, had nok taken the trouble to find out that the league’s honorary vice president is Alton B. Parker, former Democratic candidate for President; that its president is S. Stanwood, Menken, a well-known New York Democrat; that the chairman of its board of directors is Charles E. Lydecker, another prominent Democrat; and that there are other Democrats of nations Iprominence who are active in the league’s work and organization. The ‘state central committee is not so fooHsh and hasty as was Representative Barnhart. It does not accuse Messrs. Parker and others in the league of being “stool pigeons of the opposition,” but holds out the sug{estion that the names of those men ave been used “by cranks who are floating their product under the names of their ‘honorary’ presidents and vice presidents” Says the committee: “Does any sane man believe that Joseph H. Choate, Elihu Root or Alton B. Parker ever gave their assent to such a test as this on the loyafty of congressmen on preparedness and war measures?” Messrs. Root and Parker are both alive and in good health. The league’s analysis has been befofe the public many weeks and largely discussed, yet

JASPER WILLIAMS AND COMRADES GO EAST

325 F. A., Bat. E, 84 Div., A. E. F., September 6, 1918. Dear Friends:— '* —\ I landed on Long Island, New York, safe and well. We : started Tuesday about 3 o’clock and reached here last night at 8:30. It was some car* ride. We had Pullman coaches, so we could rest good at night. I was guarding one end of the car the second night, so never got much sleep, but had a good night’s sleep on our canvas cots. We sleep in tents here, eight in each tent. I gave a card to a lad in Pennsylvania, to you. Did you get it?. We came through Cincinnati, Kent and Marion, Ohio. We turned time an hour at Kent, Ohio. Eastern time. We got off at Greenville, Penn., and marched around through town for exercise. There was sure a cheering bunch there. The. whole town was out on the streets I guess. They threw us all sorts of things to eat. We came through some rough country, but there is some pretty country around Marion. When that’s said it is all said. The rest of the way is mostly hills and mountains. This is a nice place here as far as I know now. We got off the train at Jersey City and went across the river on a steamer. Saw the most business part of New York City. Will get our oversea clothes here, and will have everything wool except hob-nail shoes, Will wear caps after we get new clothes. We are not doing anything today as it is raining. There is an aviation camp near here. They are flying all around here all the time. I don’t know how long we will be here. I supppse our mail will be transferred from W. P. Will have a lot of writing to do now. I got several addresses while coming over. Would need to have a secretary to write to all of them. We are going to have inspection right away so will have to get my stuff ready. Our bunch is all together that was with us at West Point. JASPER WILLIAMS.

The situation on the Lorraine front has been quiet since the American push which wiped out the St. Mihiel salient. Only minor infantry activity has marked the last twelve hours. The Germans are reported te be working feverishly perfecting the organization of the Lorraine sector of the Hindenburg line. The Teuton long range guns are shelling the American back area*. American bombing machines were reported early today to be raiding Bayonville, Frescatti, Metz-Sablon, and the regions around those places. Fires were seen to flare up after our raiders had dropped bombs on MetzSablon. In Macedonia the French and Serbians have struck a sudden successful blow, advancing more than eight miles. They overran the first and second lines of the Bulgarians and their Teuton auxiliaries in the first hours of the drive and took 800 prisoners. A number of important dominating heights, including the formidable Sokol, were wrested from the Bulgars. The French continuing their attaks north of the Aisne captured Vailly, nine miles northwest of Soissons, while between the Aaisne and the Oise they took Mont de Singes from the Germans. Altogether 300 prisoners fell tc the poilus'. The British made local advances in the Ypres and Plogsteert

Many Rensselaer Readers Have Heard it and Profited Thereby. “Good news travels fast,” and the .many bad back sufferers in Rensselear are glad to learn where relief may be found. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan’s Kidney PilL Our citizens are telling the good news of their experience with this tested remedy. Here is an example worth reading: _ Mrs. Guy Hudson, Clark St, Rensselaer, says: “I had spells <rf backache and was nearly worn out by the dull, constant ache across my kidneys. I finally got Doan’s Kidney Pill at A. F. Long’s Drug Store and they gave me fine relief. I certainly think Doan’s Kidney Pills are effective.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Hudson had. Forster-Mil-burn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

FARMERS GIVEN ADVICE ABOUT SAVING SEED CORN

Lafayette, Sept. 16 ; —“Select seed corn from standing stalks and 88 as the corn is mature,’ is the murage too Indiana farmers from C. Henrv of Purdue university, state leadn’of the campaign for fall B « lect ’®" of seed, which is being waged under the auspices of the Indiana committee on food production and conservation. “If this bit of advice is followed, it will mean that every farmer in the state will be supplied seed corn to plant next spring, he height at which the ears are borne on the stalk bear a direct relation to the maturity, the highest ears being uniformly later. Diseases can be detected at thia time and aH ears from diseased stalks should be passed by. G. N. Hoffer, of Purdue university, has shown that most diseases are transmitted through the seed. Nubbins are largely a result of eome form of disease. The character at the stalk and ear should be judged together. This is impossible -where crib selection is practiced. “Corn is made up of cellular tissues. Freezing bursts the cell walls of moist corn in the same way that it bursts earthenware vessels filled with water. Hence, corn should be stared in an airy place where there is no danger of freezing until thoroughly dry. It should be so hung up or racked that no two ears touch. Molds and rot will not develop where these conditions exist.” , A

The funeral will be held at the Church of God Wednesday afternoion at 3 o’clock, Elder Lindsay, of Oregon, 111., conducting the services. Interment will take place in Weston c cm ct cry • For fifty-nine years a continuous resident of Jasper county and for fifty-five years living in the house in which he died in Rensselaer, Norman Warner had been in many other ways important and closely identified with this community. He knew Rensselaer first when iV was a hamlet, and his individual enterprise did much for the upbuilding of this community. As a business man his work was accomplished some years ago, when he surrendered his business cares to his three sons. He was born in Rush county March 15, 1833, and died in Rensselaer, Ind., September 16, 1918. His parents were Daniel K. and Elizabeth Warner, the former a native of Connecticut and the latter of Ohio. His father located in Jasper county in 1853. He bought nearly a section of land adjoining Rensselaer on the east. He died on his farm in Rensselaer in 1856. Norman Warner, who was a young man of twenty-three when his father died, in youth had learned the blacksmith trade as applied to carriage making in Cincinnati, Ohio. His first acquaintance with Jasper county was made on his seventeenth birthday, in 1850, and his employment Jiere at various occupations was varied. He also worked in Lafayette, Crawfordsville, Annapolis and Waveland, Ind. He was married to Josie. M- Grant, a daughter of Daniel M. Grant, who had pome to Jasper county as early as 1850. Following his marriage he lived in Waveland, in Montgomery county, for a time, and then, moved to Rensselaer as his permanent home. For many years Mr. Warner followed general blacksmithing in a shop of his own, which he continued to operate until the early seventies, when he added the implement business and from that embarked in the general hardware business. For forty years he kept his place as one of the active merchants of Rensselaer, but in 1898 he turned his business over to his sons, and retired from active life. For fifteen years he served as coroner of Jasper county. He and his wife were active members of the Church off God. To their marriage were born three children, Daniel Grant, Norman Hale and Charles Crittendon, all <rf whom survive. , He also leaves his wife, three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
