PLACE EMBARGO AGAINST LUMBER

POINTS EAST OF MISSISSIPPI AND NORTH OF OHIO DECLARED CLOSED ZONES. St. Louis, Sept. 18.—An embargo against the shipment of virtually all kinds of lumber from any point in the United States or Canada to any point east of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio river, except Shipments for war purposes, was announced today at the St. Louis office of the railroad administration. The order contains a clause, however, which permits such shipments for commercial purposes when the consignees can produce evidence which the railroad administration considers sufficient to warrant the issuance of a permit. The order is effective as of last Monday. It states that shipments in transit will be accepted.

SUNDAY AUTOIST PUT IN CLASS 1

COLUMBUS MAN WILL GO TO WAR FOR JOY-RIDING ON GASLESS SUNDAY. Columbus, Sept. 18.-—George Webber Daughtery, a wealthy young fanner living'in Bartholomew county, has been transferred from class 4 of the military draft to class 1 by the Third Indiana district appeal board, which has its headquarters at •Indianapolis. Action was taken after protests had been made when Dauhtery drove his automobile on the first Sunday that the federal fuel administration had requested that machines not be used for pleasure purposes, so that gasoline might be conserved. One petition that he be reclassified was signed by a group of military registrants, who left here for camp on the following day. Another petition also was circulated among residents of the county. Following-; the circulation of the petitions Daughtery published in one of the Columbus papers a signed statement in which he said that he felt that because of his large land holdings he could do more toward winning the war by remaining at home and looking after his farms than -he could by entering the service, adding, however, that he was “willing and ready to go at any time.” When the local board received Daughtery’s questionnaire from the district board yesterday with the notification that he had been reclassified and placed in class 1, a notation was found attached to the questionnaire saying: “There is no time like the present.” It is understood that affidavits were submitted with the general petition showing that Daughtery’s land is held in trust for him, and the management of his land has not been in his hands, he receiving the income from them through the trustee. At the time Daughtery drove his automobile he is alleged to have said that as long as he could buy gasoline he would use his car as he pleased. It is understood that he will go to camp with the next group of registrants to leave this county. Daughtery is not married.

WEATHER * The following is the official temperature for this locality since our ast report: Max. Min. September 16 . 67 ■ 56 September 17 71 39 September 18 65 47 The thermometer this Thursday morning indicated that the minimum : ’or the twelve hours ending at 6: a. m. was 38. ,There was however no frost due to the fact that it was cloudy.

RECRUITING FOR THE TANK SERVICE

Attorney W. H. Parkihson, of this city, is actively engaged in recruiting for the tank service. He has a number of men who will go with him next Monday to Chicago, where they will enlist in that important branch of the war service. Others who would like to get into this service should see Mr. Parkinson at once. It is possible that Mr. Parkinson will be engaged in this work, and if he will do so he can have a good commission from the government at once.

VENERABLE LADY OF BARKLEY TOWNSHIP DIES

Mrs. Malachi Comer, of Barkley township, died at her late home at 1:00 a. m., Thursday, September 19, 1918. The funeral service will be held at the Aix church Saturday, September 21, at 2:00 p. m., and interment will be in the Dunkard cemetery. ' . The deceased was the wife of Suire M. P. Comer, one of Jasper county’s oldest and most respected citizens. She was born September 15, 1849.

Thomas McGowan, at one time city marshal of Rensselaer, and who gave up the position of marshal to move to his farm in Union township, has developed into a first class hog raiser. A reporter of the Republican happened to stop at Tom’s farm Wednesday and found him feeding the finest bunch of hogs that we have seen in a long .time. He had a herd of thirtythree Hampshire shoats weighing about 100 pounds each, several smaller ones and several registered sows, some with young ones. Tom has about given up farming, only raising enough corn to feed the Logs, as he is firmly convinced there is more money in raising goofi hogs than in raising, grain. »

NOTICE. . a All the suits contesting the will of the late Benjamin J. Gifford, are now disposed of, and I am in position to sell land. I have yet unsold several hundred acres of good land located in Jasper and Lake counties, which I will sell as Executor on reasonable terms, but cannot take any trade. ' Call at my office or at the office of T. M. Callahan, at Rensselaer, Indiana, for particulors. GEO. H. GIFFORD, Executor.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY CO. AGENT LEANING. Hog Feeding Give* Good Returns. Charles Meadal, of Carpenter township, marketed a drove of 22 hogs last week which averaged 240 pounds and brought $19.25 per cwt. “I ran those hogs on mixed pasture and fed them corn on a concrete feeding floor,” reports Mr. Meadal. “I was not able to keep complete records but am positive that those hogs did not consume over 340 bushels of corn. I believe that there i» more money in pqrk production for the man who will raise his own pigs than in almost any other line of farming right now.” According to these figures, the hogs returned $3.00 per bushel for the corn fed them. It is very probable that a complete record of the costs would show that they returned at least twice the market price for the corn fed. More Pure-Bred Livestock. Lawson Bruce, of Marion township, has recently joined the ever growing number of Shorthorn breeders by purchasing a pure-bred Shorthorn cow and heifer calf of John J. Eek, of Goodland, recently. Mr. Bruce has a well located stock farm and expects to build up a good sized herd of pure-bred cattle. He recently acquired the foundation stock for a pure-bred Spotted Poland China herd from Jenie Conrad and will increase his herd from time to time. John Osborne & Son, of Hanging Grove township, purchased a Shorthorn bull from Chauncey Wood last week with the expectation of working into the pure-bred business as conditions warrant. Jesse Snyder, of Rensselaer, has established a herd of pure-bred Spotted Poland Chinas from stock secured from the southern part of the state. High priced feeds and a keen realization of the needs of more livestock are leading increasing numbers of progresive farmers to improve livestock conditions as rapidly as their means Will permit. Will Grow Disease-Free Wheat. Prof. E. E. Robbins, of the crops department of Purdue, spent last Wednesday in the county administering the hot water treatment to the seed wheat of Joseph Kosta, of Fair Oaks. The hot water treatment has an advantage over the formaldehyde method in that it not only kills the spores of the stinking smut but also of the. oose smut, bacterial blight, and a number of other wheat diseases. Mr. Kosta will sow the treated seed in a seperate plot when all the grain may be saved for seed next year. The hot water method is somewhat slow and requires expert service to make it a success. It is to be recommended on farms where special at-/ tention is to be given to seed wheat production. Fred Iliff and O. S. Bell, of Union township expect to use this method. Poultry Houses Need Attention - "A« little time spent now in overhauling the poultry houses will be very profitable on most farms” is the verdict of members of the County Poultry Committee. “As the nights grow cooler, drafts will bring on roup and a number of other poultry diseases which can easily be prevented by a little time taken now.” “Probably there has never been a time when poultry and egg production have been more profitable than at present. Houses with plenty of circulation but no drafts are big factors in keeping up the profits from the farm stock. "What to Use in Place of Sugar. Since sugar is so scarce, every housewife is wondering what she can use in place of sugar. Corn sirup has been most commonly used as a substitute. But there are many other substitutes. There is a certain amount of sorghum available. Honey is one of the substitutes than can and should be used, especially by the woman who is fortunate enough to have the honey produced at home. Dried fruits can also be employed,

such as raisins, dates, figs, prunes and dried peaches or apples. Any of these cooked with cereal is especially good and lessens the amount of sugar needed to a great extent. Remember this, the past year can never be undone; the sugar you should have conserved will never reach a hungry mouth. . Recipes.

WAR HINTS, HELPS, DUTIES

COMPLIED AND CONDENSED FOR THE STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE BY GEORGE ADE. To lend money on gilt-edge security and get a fair rate of interest is not a sure evidence of patriotism. But, to refuse to lend money to your couptry in the hour of need, when you can get the money and when your country gives you the safe end of the transaction, would be accepted in any court as proof of blind and perverse ingratitude. If you buy a huge stack of Liberty bonds and the neighbors thereafter fail to build a bonfire in front of your house and asemble in large numbers and call on you for a speech and ask you to run for congress, don’t be downcast and feel that your noble endeavors are not appreciated. Your full reward will lie in the fact that you can walk along the street without being pointed out as a discredit to the community. Besides, you will have the bonds. Once more, bear in mind that the big drive for the Fourth Liberty loan is to be short and strenuous. Go to the places where bonds are for sale in the cheerful and willing spirit shown by the men who registered last week. Mark the date—September 28th. Every subscription will drive the army a foot nearer to Berlin. As the boys at the camp say, “Let’s go.” ♦ * • You need not go to the front to do your fighting. When you detect the noxious fumes of pro-German propaganda, put on your gas mask. If you are attacked by a temptation to disregard the food regulations, adjust your bayonet and go at the enemy. If you have to charge up a long hill in order to capture the grand total in the next drive, pay no attention to the machine-gun fire and keep moving in the forward advance. If you find a pacifist hiding in a shell-hole, send him to the hospital for treatment If you see a premature peace offering crawling through the grass, open fire. * * « The U. S. Civil Service Commission, Washington, has sent out a call for stenographers and typists. They are needed in the government offices. Special plans are being made for the housing of employees. Write to the Commission. « * • The careful housewife is one who studies Fair Price lists. * • « Two pounds of sugar per month per person. That means a daily ration of one ounce per person. Weigh out an ounce and take a good hard look at it. * • • Do not transfer any government securities without first consulting your banker. If he advises you to transfer, go and hunt up another banker. • • • The common and unskilled labor of Indiana should now be on jobs that are helping to win the war.

KING SAYS ITALY HURLS ALL RESOURCES INTO WAR

Paris, Sept. 18.—“ My country’s effort in the war is worthy of being well kndwn,” said the king of Italy to the correspondent of the Matin. “Go into our country districts and you will no longer see any men of military age. Women, old men and children do all the work in the fields; they even repair the roads. “We have fully mobilized all our effectives without restrictions of any kind. Our financial effort has been no less extensive, and I need not speak of the industrial and economic effort, which is so difficult for a country possessing none of the raw materials requisite for war manufactures.”
