FORMER McCOWBUBG BOY WRITES.

The following letter was received by Mrs. John R. Phillips, of McCoysburg, from Frank McDonald, Who formerly lived at that place: U. 6. S. Great Northern, New York City, Sept. 19, 1918. Mrs. John R. Phillips, McCoysburg, Ind. Dear Madam: — Am dropping you these feW lines In order to tell you that your son Harvey came aboard t'he Great Northern on Sept. 10th, while at Brest, France, and paid me quite a visit. Also I assure you that we were glad to see each other, and I appreciated his visit very much. , Harvey is in the best of health, an<* is a much heavier built lad than I expected to see; also, the navy seems to agree with him. He is getting along, fine and dandy, is much better of* than if he were on a ship?" Do not have any worries or fears that any harm has befallen him at’all. ■ I just returned from France today, this making my eighth trip since March 12, and I think that I go to France as often as anyone. So far we have had no encounters or seen any submarines since we have been in the transport service. Most of our time is spent at‘ sea, and it gets somewhat tiresome being tossed around continually, but conditions are such that it is required, so I have no regrets, and I think that I am lucky to be in a position where I can render such service. Hoping that my words from Harvey will be good news for you, and regards to all, I must close. Yours truly, FRANK MCDONALD. .

WAR HINTS HELPS, DUTIES

COMPILED AND CONDENSED FOR ~ COUNCIL OF DEFENSE BY GEORGE ADE Your county is asked to subscribe for a large total of the bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan. Probably you whistled when you read in the home paper what the quota was to be. If, you want a real excuse for whistling, take a pencil and figure the grand total of what the farmers and landowners in your county are receiving this year for their wheat and corn and oats. Then add the wages paid to employees in your county under the war scale. Then add up the profits of factories and stores and put them on top of the other totals and you will learn that Uncle Sam is borrowing only a modest percentage of the capital afloat in your neighborhood.. The Fourth Liberty Loan can be put over, like rolling off a log if all the men who are getting war prices and war wages and war profits will subscribe liberally instead of tightening up. The farmer is the lad toward whom we shall look expectantly during the next two weeks. The loan cannot go over in triumphant style unless the farmer corfes across with great big generous subscriptions. This is not going to be a satisfactory autumn for the man who can afford to take SI,OOO and who offers to take SSO. The army wouldn’t go very far if each soldier took a half-hearted pop at the enemy and then hid behind a tree; Shoot all the ammunition you can get! Go after the bonds. Buy early. Don’t compel a committee to come around and coax you. ♦♦ ♦ ♦ The man Who uses gasoline on a closed Sunday without reasonable excuse, is not violating any statute. He is simply ignoring a request, If he has a conscience, probably he will get his punjshmept without any assistance from the neighbors. The State Council of Defense is not asking boys to hoot atjiim as he drives down the street and it does not favor the use of yellow paint. ♦ . * ♦ *

The Red Cross is still in need of nurses. The need is urgent ♦ * ♦ ♦ The Council of National Defense has issued another broadside bulletin against rats and, mice. It suggests the offering cff prizes to those who exterminate the pesky things. Premises should be freed from rubbish in which rats and mice can find shelter. See that foundations, cellar openings, doorways, etc., are made ratproof. Rats destroy annually food-, stuffs and other property to the value of $200,000,000. ♦* * * The State Council of Denfense has a new and more stringent order from Washington to restrict, to the limit all expenditures of men, money and ma-, terials on projects which are not helping to win the war. ♦* * ♦ Nut shells, peach stones, apricot pits, prune pits, plum pits, olive pits, date seeds and cherry pits are needed for the manufacture of gas masks. County food administrators and Red Cross chapters have been asked to assist in collecting and forwarding shipments. The government no longer pays for this material. Boys and girls and housewives do not have to be tempted with money these days. *• « ♦ This week the Red Cross is collecting garments for the destitute people of invaded France rod Belgium. Every kind of garment for all ages and both sexes is needed. Garments of strong material which will give real service are preferred; J. W. Toyne, of Medaryville, was in Rensselaer today.

Frank Meyer and his son, Frank Meyer, of Danville, are visiting their relatives here. They made the trip here by automobile and brought with them Marie Cain and Thomas Brophey, of Danville. Mrs. Meyer’s mother will accompany Mr. Meyer on- his return to his home. AdVerta Simpson, of the Monnett School, went to Terre Haute today, where she will attend the Northwest Indiana Methodist conference. She reports that the school here as starting off nicely and that they will occupy the residence to be vacated by William. Traub, who will move to the fine new residene just completed by 07 K. Rainier on Cullen street.

George E. Hershman, of Crown Point, was in Rensselaer Thursday en route to Delphi with the records in v the Singleton ditch, which affects much ,of the southern end of Lake county and which It is estimated will cost |210,000 to construct. It is understood that Judge J. P- Wason, who heard the petition, will establish the ditch. *

MAM BEEN IN FRANCE ONE YEAR.

The following letter was received by Mr. and; Mrs. George Ferguson, of Wheatfield, from their son, Frank Ferguson, who has been In France one year: Issondum, France, Aug. 88, 1918. Dearest Folks:— '» Will try and drop a line again and say that everything is all O. K.wlth us. Russell IS getting along fin# as can be expected, and lam the same as ever. I have not received any mail for a few days, so I am looking for some soon. Monday eve the staff. Officers of our field gave us 37th boys a fine evening at the "x." We had it. all to ourselves and a fine entertainment and refreshments. The band played and we had all sorts of good times. It was to celebrate our first year of foreign service. We all had our two gold stripes, and there was a large banner in the Y. M. C. A. (Here the writer drew a cut of the banner.) Just think, it has been over a yegt since we last saw the U. S. By another year things will look a great deal different I believe. ' .

I had a aide ride just before noon. I was working on a Frenchman’s motor in a plane that had to land here and he took me with him when he tested the motor. It was a little windy and was about like riding a row boat on rough sea. Ha. It is sure great sport and some day lam going to fly by myself. I do not like this idea of having to go with someone else all the time. How are the babies? I suppose my little sisters are getting to be some kids by now. I sure would like to see them. <4, say I I heard from John and Frank Fenzel and Guy M. the other eve, and Alfred J. last evening. They are all O. I K. I wish I could hear from Allen. I have not heard from Dee for some time, but suppose that he is all right. Well, it is nearly work time and I must go. We have.band practice, aprls-midi, too, sb I must snap into it. We play for reveille and retreat, also guard mount now, so you see we are some good. Come over and hear us play “The Star Spangled Banner,” or something else. Give my best to all, and don’t worry. Tell Rusty’s folks, that he is O. K. W. came oyer here from the hospital for a little while yesterday afternoon. Write. With love, FRANK.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL MOTES.

Jasper county has fewer men teachers to its credit this year than since the days of the Civil war. State Superintendent Horace B. Ellis will be one of the instructors in a joint county-township institute to be held at Rensselaer on the third Saturday in October. Mrs. Kelsey will be here also, and will bring a promine’nt teacher in the city schools of Indianapolis with her to assist her in solving tlje many problems that primary teachers arid rural" teachers will offer for her solution. Mrs. Kelsey certainly has the interest of tne Jasper~county teachers at heart, as . she offered her services gratis on this very important day. But it is likely that she will be allowed car fare and locals for that day. The following township institutes were held last Saturday: Carpenter, at Trustee Porter’s office; Jordan, at Neverfail; Newton-Marion, at Rensselaer; Hanging Grove-Milroy, at Lone Star In Milroy township; Barkley, at Center; •Union, at Fair Oaks; Walker, at Walker Center; Keener, Wheatfield, Kankakee and Wheatfield town, at DeMotte. The primary object in holding so many township institutes on this particular Saturday was to assist the beginners after they had been teaching for two weeks. The secretary for the Jordan township Institute sent in the following report: "The first Jordan township institute was held last Saturday at Neverfail school. All teachers’ and Trustee Kolhoff were present. The enrollment in the four township schools totals 104 pupils. Egypt has 18; Blake 25; Neverfail 19; Union primary 20; Union,advanced 22. There are a few older pupils out for work but will be in soon.”

HAYS PLEDGES FULLEST AID

COMPLETE SUCCESS IN FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN IS SUPREME OBJECTIVE. Chairman Will H. Hays, of the Republican National committee, tonight issued a statement directed to state, district and county chairmen and all Republican workers saying that the success of the Fourth Liberty Loan shall be the Republican party’s supreme motif of thought and action until that objective is attained. He pledged the Republican party workers to the policy of “no geography, political or physical, in the patriotisms of this country,” and declared that everything else than making certain the over-subscription of the loan “is chores.** “The mission of America is about to be accomplished. American soldiers in France are at this moment demonstrating to the world the reason for America and the stuff Of which this republic is made. “Their complete success and the consequent eternal establishment everywhere in the world of the integrity of American rights, interests and honor and the right of men to govern themselves, are all assured with the,proper performance of the plainest duty of the citizenry at home.

“The Fourth Liberty Loan is our next objective. “There ds no geography, political or physical, in the patriotism of this country. Democrats and Republicans alike love their flag and are ready to die for it. We continually insist for all parties that the war be kept out of partisan politics and that partisanship be kept out of the war. “Whenever Republicans are together, by two or two thousand, it shall be a win-the-war meeting. Just as the Republican party’s every action at all times has been and shall be determined solely iby how we can contribute most to the war’s success, so now our every thought and action shall be determined entirely by how we can make certain the quick oversubscription of the Fourth Liberty Loan.

“This is a united country’s next message to Germany. “The entire Republican organization in every voting precinct in this country shall be a fighting force in this Liberty Loan drive. / “This is the business of every man, woman and child. Everything else is chores.” —BUY A ÜBEBTY BOND TODAY—THURSDAY HOSPITAL NOTES. Miss Alma Stiers entered the hospital Wednesday for medical treatment.

Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Walker have received a letter from their son, Iler, written while he was still on the water on his way to France. He was enjoying the trip fine and had not as yet gotten sick. He supposed it was because he always liked water so well. He stated that some of the lads had been a little off, but were back in tune now. Iler was very anxious to reach land “over there,” so he might do his part toward getting the kaiser. He sent his best regards to all his friends, and is hoping to hear from them. His address is: Der D. Walker, 306 Clothing Unit, A. E. F., via New York. Dr. John Ellis and wife, of Chicago, were in Rensselaer today.

POSITIVE PROOF.

Should Convince the Greatest Skeptic in Rensselaer. Because it’s the evidence of a Rensselaer oitizeq. Testimony easily investigated. The strongest endorsement of merit. * The best proof. Read it: Nelson Randle, retired farmer, N. Main St, 'says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills at different times when suffering from a lame and aching back and other symptoms of disordered kidneys. I got Doan’s at Fendig’s Drug Store and they soon brought relief from the backache and other kidney ailments. I z don't know of a case where Doan’s have failed to prove a benefit” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Randle had. Foster-Milbum Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. M. J. Delahanty and son Jay, of Wheatfield, were in Rensselaer today.
