1914 AND 1918.

Uunder the simple caption,- “A Deadly Parallel,” the National Republican congressionad committee gave out the following: From President Wilson’s message to congress of Dec. 8, 1914. “More than this (preparedness for national defense) proposed at this time, permit me to say, "would mean merely that we had lost our self-pos-session ; that we had been thrown off our balance by a war with which we have nothing to do, whose causes can not touch us, whose very existence gives us opportunities for friendship and disinterested service which should make impossible to us any hostile preparation for trouble.” ' / From Vice-President Marshall’s address in Madison Square, New York, Sept. 28, 1918: . “I came here partly to make an apoligy—an apology for any attitude during almost two years and a half of that fateful conflict, an apology that a God-fearing man in the twentieth century of civilisation could have dreamed that any nation, . any people, or any man could be neutral when right was fighting wrong.”

MR. VOTER.

You may not think that the election next Tuesday means much of anything to you, but if you fail to go to the polls and the wrong kind of a legislature is elected to meet next winter, you and the rest of the citizens of Indiana are going to be the ones to suffer. If the state of Indiana elects a legislature that just starts in to rip things up generally and pass a lot of laws, without a due consideration of the needs of the workingman, the farmer, the manufacturer, the laborer and the employer of labor, there will 'be a 'heavy penalty to pay in unjust and burdensome taxes, and unjust laws, and the fellows who will pay are the ones who did not take enough interest to vote, or were careless in who they voted for’. Especially is this true in regard to the* office of iState Senator, who is elected for four years. The Republicans have as their nominee Will Brown, of Hebron,'a man of unquestioned integrity and character; a man who knows the need of the farmer from his own actual hard earned experience; who has been both a laborer and employer of labor, and while acting in the former capacity never lacked a job, and who as an employer never failed to see that the men he employed got a square deal. In Lake county, where he was raised and is best known they call him “Square Deal” Brown, and if he is" elected next Tuesday the citizens of this county can rest assured that'they will receive a square- deal at his hands. Don’t fail to vote next Tuesday:— it is your duty as a loyal American citizen; and it is also yottr duty to see that your neighbor gets out and votes, and when you vote, vote for Brown

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

FARE CONDUCTED BY CO. „ AGENT LEAMING.

X Help for Corn Husking. The U. S.- Department of Agriculture has made the following announcement relative to the location of huskers for Indiana ecorn -Crop: "Thia Department will be very glad to co-operate to the fullest extent in getting men to husk the corn crop in Indiana, but in order that our co-opera-tion may be effective it is necessary that we know certain definite, tangible facts. In the first place, we should have a conservative estimate from the County Agricultural Agent of each county in dire need of men as to just what number they can get along with. Also - , we must know when they want the men and exactly what wages will be paid, and where the men are to be sent. It must also toe understood that the farmer will provide an adequate place to bosrd and room for any help he gets. After we get thia Information, which should come at once, we will then set forth publicity to the state as to what the shortage is and where. We will peal generally for men and we will our Community Labor Boards and through our Public Service Reserve organizations, request certain counties -to place their own men.. In other words, it seems entirely probable that certain counties needing 15 to 30 men can get

them locally, provided the proposition is put up to their County Council of Defense and to all their patriotic bodies with a thud, th other places, if necessary, we can arrange for the Community .Labor Boards, asking certain industries to lend some of their men to the farms for two or three weeks, which will help to put over the proposition. “You can appreciate all this information is necessary when you understand our method of' recruiting We have 15 field scouts. If wj send out any of these into a territory" to recruit for another territory these men must have all the facts; must know exactly where they are to send the men and they must be positively assured that when these men arrive that the County Agricultural Agent will be there to meet them and to see that the \ farmers are there to take the men out. We will, in all cases, wire the County Agent at the point we are recruiting for the exact number of men we will expect to send and at what time they wllj arrive. It will then be, hlsf duty to get tl)e farmers ready to take the men out. ' There must be no cases of where the County Agricultural Agent asks for men that he cannot positively place immediately, because labor is en--tinely too scarce to be handled in such a manner. We have here a Chifef of Recruiting and Field Forces and we have a svstem of clearance whereby it will be perfectly possible for usf urovided we get adequate information and co-opera-tion from the other end, to make an act-

ive campaign for corn huskers It would appeal to me that we should pick out four or five counties at a time,,to - concentrate on rather than to try to work the whole state at once. We would, very naturally, try- to pick out the counties that are sorest in need of help.” In order to avail themselves of any assistance from the U. S. Bureau of Labor, farmers depending on outside help should comply with these conditions at once. "; Apples for Everyone. ‘'Chautauqua county, N. Y., has a tremendous crop of apples. We have a number of shippers who are loading car loads in bulk and it is my desire to secure information as to apple market fo’ our fruit,” writes H. B. Rogers, County Agent, at Jamestown, New York. ■di Here is a chance for some enterprising Individuals to make a fair profit and do our county a griat deal of good. The shortage of the apple crop here is felt keeply Jjy the majority of the people and th,e interests of the community health would be served by anyone who would bring in this fruit and sell It at a reasonable, price. More Shorthorns. Leslie Gwin' made' a trip to Chalmers last week and returned with a well bred Shorthorn bull to head his- herd. This is reported'to be an excellent Individual and worthy of the class of .cattle being introbuced into this locality. The sale of Shorthorns .held on the‘D if. Yeoman farm last week averaged under |2OO per head. Much, of the offering was young and in poor flesh, and the returns were considered highly satisfactory. Wm. Hershman, of Walker township, was a heavy 7 buyer.

Mrs. Carl Kuntz and her grandmother, Mrs. Mary Lowe, went to, Hammond today where they will visit with the family of Charles W. Bussell, and from which place they will continue tdS Kouts where they will visit with the family of Walter Smith. Mrs. Smith and. Mrs. Kuntz are sisters and both are daughters of Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Holmes. Mrs. Kuntz has been living at Alma Center, Wia., but her husband is now in the war service.

VOTE FOR

WILL BROWN FOR STATE SENATOR Q NEXT TUESDAY. Your vote •will be cast for a man who will represent the people of this community in the nekt legislature in an able manner and will safeguard your interests in the legislative halls at all times. ' v As a Farmer, as a Business Man, as an employer of labor and as a workman himself his record is of the best and should commend itself to every citizen of the district. You should make it your duty as a loyal American citizen this year of all years to exercise your right of suffrage, and seek to choose men of irreproachable character, whose citizenship and loyalty is of the highest type. No Loy ar American will stay away from the polls next Tuesday. Mr. Brown is a resident of Hebron, where he is held in the highest esteem, and where he will receive almost solid support. In the primary campaign last spring he was the only candidate from outside of Lake county, and it is a significant fact that he obtained an unusually large majority. You will make no mistake if you advise your neighbor to vote for Will Brown, and also see that he does get out and vote for him on election day.

POSTPONE MEETING.

Penny Pinching Not Always True Economy I have learned that the intelligent I housewife—the woman schooled in really scientific domestic economy—no longer throw* away a nickel co eave a penny. I A good way to illustrate this point would be through comparison of baking powders. ' - ' Experience has taught me—and millions of other women that it doesn’t pay to buy Cheap baking powders. They cost a few cents less, but in the long ran they are decidedly the most expensive.. Because of the low grade materials employed in their manufacture tfaey cause many bake day failures—and great less of expensive ingredients. The housewife throws out, in wasted material* many time* die amount saved on the cost of die baking powder. This is not economy, but extravagance. True economy in baking powder demands the highest quality at the lowest price. Only baking powders that meet these demand* should be used. Only baking powder that is made of the highest class ingredients so perfectly proportioned that it not only produce* maximum leavening power but also fnuroot it. • Besides, the baking powder that meets the modem demand for economy mould j be economical in use—full strength—economical in cost I secured at a moderate price. The housewife should be able , to effect a saving when buying—and another saving when using—afid she should save material* it is used with. : That is economy in its highest form. Complete economy. The only kind of econ- I omy the housewife should atrompt. ♦' j I hiave proved positively, by exhaustive experiments and comparative tests that Calumet Baking Powder is best suited to these savings. It possesses the surety, the purity and goodness that constant employment of utmost baking economy possible. MasQartrib b srol buy,b aytyffiebtfw rfarafr.
