An eastern railroad wanted a danger sign for grade crossings. The president went to the road s lawyer and the next day received, together with a bill for $5,000 for special service, the warning, “Stop, Look, Listen.” How perfectly that sign fills its purpose. It saves the railroad every year far more than the $5,000 it cost. How suggestive also are these three words for the housewife who is buying flour. Stop and consider that you are buying a pure wheat flour, made at home; home labor and home product. Look. Be sure that it is the Blue Ribbon, because the quality is there. Listen. All who are using it are well pleased and complimenting it. Have you tried it? If hot, let us send you a sack and you will be a home booster. IROQUOIS ROLLER MILLS, phone 456.

IN MEMORY.

WELLS.—In sad but loving memory of our dear father, Charles B. Wells, who entered eternal rest September 23, 1918. Peaceful be thy rest, dear father, It is sweet to breathe thy name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. The moon and stars are shining On a lone and silent grave; Beneath lies the one we loved, But yet we could not save. We saw him suffer, heard him sigh, With aching heart and weeping eye; We saw him sinking, hour by hour, Yet could not stay death’s awful power; — r But now he calmly sleeps at last, All pain, all.achesj all suffering past. For us he aQwaysdidhis best; May God grant him eternal rest. From his lonely wife and children.

Card of Thanks.

We wish to express our sincere thanks to our friends and neighbors,, the G. A. R. ladies, minister, singers, for all the kindness and sympathy shown us during the sickness and death of our dear husbßnd and father, also for the many beautiful floral offerings, and kind service rendered by Undertaker. Wright. Mrs. Charles Wells and Children.

GARLAND STILL THE CRACK SHOT

RENSSELAER CAPTAIN CONTINUES IN THE FOREFRONT AS A MARKSMAN.

The following is an extract from Everett C. Watkins’ article in the Sunday Indianapolis Star: One of the division’s crack instructors in rifle Shooting has been Capt. Jerry B. Garland, of Rensselaer, Ind. He is a wonder both with the pistol and the rifle. Capt. Garland won the national pistol shot contest in 1915 and he was second in pistol shooting in the 1916 national competition. He was fourth in the United States in rifle shooting'in 1913. He is so accurate with his shooting that when he used to go rabbit hunting in the country about Rensselaer he used a pistol instead of a shotguh. Capt. Garland first became a member of the Indiana National Guard ten years ago. Col. George H. Healey, of the 151st Infantry regiment of this division, then captain of the Rensselaer company, had advertised in the local newspaper for recruits. Jerry Garland, a farmer boy, answered the newspaper notice. He decided that military training was a good thing and enlisted as a private. Then for four years, though he lived four miles in the country, he did not miss a single drill night. As a farmer boy he had been a successful squirrel and rabbit ‘hunter, but until he enMsted in the National Guard he never had fired an army rifle. He became interested in the rifle, however, and took advantage of every opportunity to go on the range. He soon became the guard’s crack shot both with pistol and rifle and, indeed/ one of the country’s best shots. Captain Garland answered the call to the colors more than a year ago as the commander of the Rensselaer company, but after having spent seven months as instructor in rifle shooting at the camp he has been assigned to command a company of the 149th (Kentucky) Infantry of this division.

! The Kaiser Miscalculated He thought Americans were a bunch of money-grabbers. He said we were too absorbed in the accumulation of wealth to pay any attention to ideals —that we were incapable of sacrifice. We sent him an answer to that which thrilled the world. Billions for Liberty! The First Liberty Loan, the Second Liberty Loan, the Third Liberty Loan—All over-sub-scribed! Then he said we wouldn’t keep it up. That it was the over enthusiasm of a youthful civilization, lacking balance —that we would quit when we felt the pinch. We Must Prove The Kaiser Wrong Again The Fourth Liberty Loan is the opportunity. America has the courage of her convictions! She will stand by her ideals! *'• ' * Buy Liberty Bonds Hilliard| [| THEN BUY CLOTHES tiMHUV* WMftlur nir

COUNTY SHEEP CLUB FORMED TO INCREASE THE FLOCKS

A sheep chib, having for its purpose the establishment of . more flocks of sheep in this locality and interesting the boys and girls in this extremely profitable side line, is being organized in Jasper county, according to plans recently announced by County Agent Stewart Learning. The County Better Farming association has secured the services of some of the best stock men in the country, who will serve on a committee to purchase yearling or two-year-old breeding ewes in carload lots. The quality of the sheep selected will be left to the judgment of these men, who will be instructed to purchase the sheep which will make the most money for the boys and girls who receive them. It is thought that good ewes can be bought from sls to S2O each. The sheep will be divided into lots of five each and these will be distributed among the boys and girls of the county between the ages of 10 and 17 years inclusive, at their actual cost, and the boys and girls to whom they are assigned will become members of the County Sheep club. Members may pay for thedr sheep in cash, -or give their notes for them at the current rate of interest and payable in one year. This feature enables the boy or girl without capital to engage in the business upon the same basis as the more fortunate neighbor. The club offers the beginner in sheep raising several distinct advantages. It gives him the benefit of the experience of the best stock men that the country affords in the buying of the sheep. It enables him to secure a few head at carload prices and saves the inconvenience of looking all over the country for a few animals. The club also offers the privilege of credit if desired. Boys and girls who desire to become members of the new club should send in their applications to the county agent at once. It is expected that the organizations may be completed in time to distribute the sheep at the Livestock Show at Rensselaer October 17th to 19th. The present prices of mutton and wool make the keeping of a small flock of sheep one of the most profitable side lines on the farm. Many farmers 'state that their flocks are paying for themselves each year. A sheep club which was organized in Tippecanoe county last fall returned to its members this season an average of S2O for each sheep in the club. Should the local club be equally successful, members will be able to pay for their flocks in one year.

McCray Saturday, a representative of the Republican was informed that it was the intention of the colonel to call the Third regiment together at no far distant date, but just where the meeting will take place has not been definitely decided.
