DEDICATION OF BRUSHWOOD CHURCH AT PARR

The Brushwood church at Parr celebrated its twenty-sixth anniversary !op Sunday, Sept. 28. The day was ideal. Services began with a short ' session of Sunday school, Rev. A. M. Snyder, of Brook, being unable to be present on account of his wife’s illness. The pastor, Rev. I. H. Ade, Ritroduced his father, D. C. Ade, of Rossville, DI., who was pastor twenty-four years ago. He delivered the morning -address, using for his text, "Master, it is good for us to be here.” The address was a forceful one, with the joy of being together, yet realizing that God is good and it is good for all to be here with Him. There must be a satisfied life or living with God to dwell in Him., Truly we are on the mount of transfiguration and surely Christ was glori-

fied to all. After this the communion was served, followed - by benediction by D. C. Ade. Well-filled baskets were brought and at noon all enjoyed the splendid dinner, more than twelve baskets, of fragments being taken up. The afternoon services were begun by singing “America,” and prayer was offered by D. C. Ade, after which letters were read from A. H. McBride and wife, Daniel SMonkwiler and B. H. Cain, former pastors, and short talks were made by C. R. Champlin and D. C. Ade, former pastors, and George Adair, a former resident. Then followed >-a short praise service. A. M. Snyder sent his greetings to the church. J. W. Lake, conference superintendent, sent his best wishes to the church and community. The congregation, by a rising vote, sent through the pastor their sympathy to A. M. Snyder in his hour of affliction. This was followed by a historical sketch of the class-and benediction by C. R Champlin; *-• The evening services were begun by singing the “Star Spangled Banner,” with prayer by W.' H. Hess, of Francesville. This was followed by a ten-minute praise service. The evening message was delivered by C. R. Champlin, of Logansport, "using for his text, “For we are laborers together with God; ye are God’s husbandry; ye are God’s building.” Summing up his text in fine wojds, he portrayed faith, fellowship, unity, consecration, power, and to dedicate our homes to God. After singing “There Is Power in the Blood,” D. C. Ade pronounced the benediction, closing the services. I The J. W. Faylor family, of Kewanna, George Adair family of Chi- ! cago Heigths, and a number from the Mt. Ayr class, with the friends of the (surrounding community, were visitors. Two hundred and thirty people registered, thirty of whom were at the ; dedication twenty-six years ago.

NEWSPAPER TO SUSPEND AS ACT OF PATRIOTISM

Huntington, W. V., Sept. 21. Huntington’s youngest newspaper, the Evening Journal, today was requested by Thomas B. Donnelly,'chief of the pulp and paper section of the war industries board, to suspend publication for the duration of the war. In. his letter to the Herald Company,* Mir. Donnelly said: “On August 24 we issued regulations that newspapers could not be started during the period of the war, but, if you were established prior to that period, technically you have the rgiht to continue your publication. The print paper situation, however, is becoming more and more acute on account of the lack of coal and shortage of transportation, and it is necessary for the war industries board to curtail its use in every possible respect. “If it would be possible for you to suspend the publication of your Evening Journal, you would be doing a patriotic att, both to the public and newspaper interests.” The company indicated its intention to comply with the reuest. Publication will, ibe resumed at the close of the war, it was stated. ?

NEW OFFICERS COMMISSIONED.

Adjutant General Harry B. Smith, ■of Indiana, has issued -several commissions in the Liberty Guard to Rensselaer citizens in the past few days. A. E.

W. H. Parkinson has been - commissioned Battalion Adjutant on the staff of Major Mose Leopold, and John I. Gwin has been commissioned Sergeant Major. Two lieutenants are to be elected in Company E and one in Company G, and it is probable that an election will be ordered in the near future. *

REDKEY BAKERY IS CLOSED.

When a member of the firm of Ford & Moore, bakers, of Redkey, Ind., was admonished for failure to comply with the rules relative to the use of substitutes for wheat flour, as required by the United States food administration, he “became abusive and struck the baker adviser,” it was shown at a hearing of the charges made against the firm. The firm has been ordered to close its doors for ten days dating from Sept. 24. It had been warned, it was stated. Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, yesterday approved the finding of the bakery division.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

Mrs. Moody had over fifty guests at her Sundya chicken dinner at the Makeever house. In fact, she had more than she expected, and the supply of chicken was a little short. If you advertise in the Republican you must expect large results. In the future Mrs. Moody’s guests may be assured that if she announces a chicken dinner she will be fully prepared to take care of the large number of guests, and she now knows the efficiency of the Republican as a medium in which to invite her friends.

LONG SICKNESS ENDS IN PEACEFUL SLEEP OF OLD RESIDENT. Charles B. Wells, who had been paralyzed at his home in this city for a long time, died at 9:00 a. m. today. The deceased was born in Douglas county, Illinois, in 1845, and was therefore 73 years of age, having exceeded the allotted time of three score and ten by three years.

He was a veteran of the Civil war, having served about two years. He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Daniel Robinson, and five sons, Isaac, of Attica; Palmer D., of Morocco, Simeon, Morton and Clifford, of this city.

NOTES OF WOMAN’S SECTION, STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE

Compiled by Mrs. Albert Rabb, Chairman Publicity Committee. An important announcement from the office of the Surgeon General is to the effect that the Red Cross is now enrolling colored nurses for service in the "Army Nurse Corps. Quarters are now under construction at five army posts, Camps Dodge, Grant, Sherman, Taylor and Meade. A group of approximately twenty colored nurses will be used at each of these stations for the care of colored troops. x ■ * *. • ♦ The 'Roman’s Committee of the Council of Nationaf’Defense requests that the Publicity Chairmen throughout the country begin at once to emphasize the wishes of the National Council in regard to Christmas buying during the coming fall. The utmost effort is to be made to confine Christmas giving, exteept for young children, to useful articles and to extend 4 the period for holiday purchases over the months of October, November and December. Retail interests have been asked not to increase their working force and not to increase the normal working hours of their force during the Christmas season; deliveries will be restricted and customers will be induced in so far as possible to carry their own packages. The National Council will insist that the continuance of holiday business be in such form and on such scale and by such methods as are consistentwith the national welfare. . ♦♦ » ♦

The Fayette county chairman of Child Welfare reports the organization of a Girls’ Patriotic club. A picture show given recently by these ’ girls netted S2OO. Of this amount < SSO was donated to the Red Cross, $75 to the support of a French orphan and the remainder is held in readiness to help along the child welfare cause. Another unusual organization in that county is the Red Cross Sacrifice club, of East Connersville township. Members of this club receive all forms of donations from one cent to one dollar, but most contributions are from five to ten cents. During July and August $106.29 was collected by the club through this method. •* • » We have at the woman’s headquarters in Indianapolis, the national button for the women of the National Council of Defense. This button was selected and designed by our National Committee and we would like all women engaged in war work to wear one. These buttons can be procured at our headquarters, room 83, State House, for the small sum of 10c.

RENSSELAER MET DEFEAT AT MOROCCO SATURDAY

Last Saturday the Rensselaer high school football team journeyed to Morocco, where they met defeat by the Morocco high school team. In spite of the fact that our team was practically all new, except three old men, they worked hard and good until the final whistle blew. In the last quarter we scored our touchdown through the aerial route. Pbegley caught a forward pass from our fullback, L. Collins, and running five yards placed the pigskin over the line, and our snappy Captain Babcock kicked goal. The final score was 27 to 5. Randle worked hard at tackle and promises to be a good man. He booted the pigskin behind the goal on the kick-off.. Paul Collins is a promising man, while his big brother Lee is a veteran at line plunges and tackles, besides having a fine punting leg. Harold Harmon, at quarter, play' a heady game, while Captain Babcock kept up his fighting spirit throughout the game. All the other mtn worked hard and with more experience promise us a good team. Hendricks, a new man, showed up good at guard and landed several good tackles. Morocco pulled line plunges and off-tackle plays. Rensselaer has a return game with Morocco in three weeks, and the boys promise us they will show them a real snappy game of football. The Red and Black have games with Kentland, Logansport, Sheridan, Hammond, Watseka and several other that are being arranged. As Rensselaer is an old football town it is hoped that the fans will all be out and give good support for the first game at home. The line-up in Saturday’s game was as folows: Merica, center; G. Collins, L. G.; Randle, L. T.; Phegley, L. E.; Hendricks, R. G.; Gorham, R. T.; P. Collins, R. E-J Harmon, Q. B.; Babcock, L. H.; L. Collins, F. B.; E. Harris, R. H. Substitutes—Halleck for G. Collins, Weiss for Halleck, Zea for Mefica.
