EIGHT WEEKS’ WINTER COURSES AT PURDUE

Lafayette, Dec. 4.—'With the return of Purdue university to a peace basis and the regular courses being given again, Dean J. H. Skinner of the College of Agriculture, announces that the usual eight weeks* winter courses in agriculture, commercial dairying and home economics will be .given from Dec. 30 to Feb. 28. These are given each year in addition to the one week’s farmers’ dhort course, which will be held Jan. 13 to 17. These courses are offered free to residents of Indiana above 16 years of age who are graduates of common schools and only $lO is required to cover cost of materials used. A tuition fee of $1 is charged residents of other states. The enrollment last year for this work exceeded 200 and with men returning from the army this number will be greatly increased, it as thought, especially, with the wider interest in all phases of better farming. Plans are going ahead for the farmers’ short course which will be held the third week in January and one or more members of the national agricultural commission to ■ Europe will be on the program. In addition to the eight weeks winter course and the fanners’ short course, a two weeks’ course in poultry husbandry and another in dairying will be given from Jan. 20 to Feb. 1. These are new courses and are designed for those who ate unable to get aiway for eight weeks’ work at the university. ' A two weeks course for tractor operators and another course of a week or two on seed bed preparation will be given in March, definite dates to be announced later.

LETTER NOT FROM THE FRONT

BUT FROM THE THICK OF THE FIGHT RIGHT HERE AT HOME.. The following letter needs no explanation. It is fairly plain and evidently was not written with a mitten or glove on the right hand, lit is from the pen of C. P. Fate, of the capital of Lake county, and was received by Attorney Moses Leopold, of this city. . Crown Point, Ind., Dec. 2,1918. Mr. Mose Leopold, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Mose:— “And Brutus says that Caesar was ambitious.” I think it was Mark Anthony. You know Mark' was city attorney or deputy prosecutor under J. Caesar, who said that. Mark made a fine little speech, that has gone down in 'history, but I don’t think he ever convinced anybody that Julius hadn’t been going through the honors of the day like a safe blower through a country post office, grabbing everything in sight. ■ Ever feed hogs, Mose? Believe me, a hog is some ambitious. When it comes to ambition it seems to me that our Mir. Woodrow has them all bdat. He’s got Caesar looking like a piker and a hog like a dyspeptic. Wilson’s all right. He’s good. He’s too good. He’s running this game. Sure he is. We don’t object to that. We expect 'him to. But that don’t let him count his white chips same as everybody else’s blue ones or let him open a pot on a pair of deuces. We sort of want the privilege of hornipg in when we stay and make fours or ■better. You know what I mean, Mose. We are beginning to feel that our worthy president thinks this war in Europe was staged just to feature him. That those three million soldiers we raised was only the chorus and that the four Liberty loans were the gate receipts. Lots of folks feel that Wilson thinks he is the bird who put the United States on the map. He’s going to wake up one of these days and find that a wop called Chris Colombo beat him. to the big discovery. And you can lay two to one that When he does he’ll claim that ■Columbus was a Republican and double-crossed him.

For a <bi»d who got in on a rain check, I’ll say that he sure has (the game sewed up. And when I say him,' I mean the whole gang. . According to theiir dope, Benedict AirnoJd was the grand organizer of the Republican party, same party being accused of everything 'bad that has ever ‘happened to this country, including the Galveston flood and the Chicago fire. Ask them and they will tell you that the kaiser and Ms understudy, the crown prince, are Republicans, who have ‘overplayed their hands. One sure thing, Mose, this adtninistrati'on is for peace. First, they say so, then they prove it by not sending Pershing anything to fight with. Say, if Baker had sent one-third as much ammunition to the bunch of honest-to-God, one hundred per cent American’s over there, as Wilson did messages, those Huns would have taken to the tall grass six months ago. At that the Democratic party, meaning Woodrow and his folks, didn’t freeze out the Republicans entirely. They let them have the soft job of furnishing the men and money, and any other little thing that required no brains. Where these lukewarm Americans, meaning Republicans, fell down and spoiled the [whole show was when they went to the polls and voted. Trouble with we fellows was that we have been singing that America was the home of the free so long we sort of got so we, poor boobs, believed it and voted just as we d pleased. At that, that election stuff did not seem to soak in on George Washington the second. He insists in going over and playing that ‘bunch of empire builders and busters all by his lonesome. Fine. Why, they are the rarest bunch of horse traders in the whole world. To make it good and strong, some of the heavy hitters in Europe come out with a statement—Who else would the United States send? Tough luck. Only one set of brains in a hundred and ten million bodies. Pretty soft for that bunch of sure thing traders. Say, Mose, When they get through with our little message writer, they will have charged us an entrance fee in this world’s war—and grabbed Goney Island as a coaling station. -'Why, we have given up everything but the declaration of independence, and we will lose that if the game isn’t called on account of darkness.

Mose, that kaiser was not such a wise guy. You can’t me. He failed to get that “Me undt Got” stuff copyrighted. If this stuff they are pulling off is good for this country, then palm leaf fans are a good buy in Alaska. You want to get me right, Mose. I’m not mad. That is, I’m not frothing at the mouth and biting myself. I’m just sort of discouraged. When a poor boob puts a mortgage on the old home place to buy Liberty Bonds, and his oldest boy is in the army, and he is accused of being a pro-German because he Votes the Republican ticket and likes saner kraut, he ain’t rated. He’s rack. Yours tiruly,

Nevil Leßoy, son of James M. and Hattie L. Torbetr died Friday, November 29, 1918, at the age of 32 years and four months, after a lingering illness of tuberculosis extending over a period of five years. The immediate cause of his death, however, was influenza and pneumonia, which he contracted one week before his death. He was born July 29, 1886, near Thorntown, Indiana, and was baptized in infancy at the Presbyterian church at that place. There he obtained his early education, which was complete in Jasper county, being graduated from the Independence school in June, 1903. He was manned to Vernie Shroyer Sept. 10, 1911, to which union was born three children, Lucy Pauline, aged six years, Kenneth Shroyer, aged five years, and Beatrice Elizabeth, aged two years.

Although he had suffered untold agony for months, he awaited the end fearlessly, realizing “that a man who is fit to live need not fear death.” Funeral services were conducted by Rev. I. H. Ade at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon, and burial was made at the Dunkard cemetery.

EXPECTS TO BE AT FORT DES MOINES UNTIL SPRING

Captain I. M. Washburn and family left here Tuesday evening for Fort Des Moines, lowa. The government has assigned suitable quarters for the doctor and his family. This is an old army fort and the Washburns will be nicely located with everything convenient and modern. During this time the doctor will >e, associated with one of the greatest surgeons in this country, end the opportunity which Captain Washburn will have in this line will give him a training in surgery that WiM be very valuable, and upon bis return to this city, which he hopes will be in the early spring, he will have made a great advancement in this work. It is expected that a great number of wounded soldiers will be taken to the lowa fort. Jasper county has made a sacrifice in five doctors for war service. But each one of these men are sure to return with a training that will -enable them to be more efficient in their practice, and will therefore make them of added value to the communities' they had previously served. 1 Undoubtedly they will each receive aded prestige for the personal sacrifice they have made, and that sacrifice win ibe duly rewarded. Each community owes a debt to the soldiers who went to the war, andT while we lived in comfort and continued our money making they were undergoing 'hardships and were receiving as a remuneration for the same barely sufficient funds upon which they and their dependents could subsist. Many here at home have by the very conditions of the war had great financial prosperity, and to all such there is an added obligation to the brave soldiers. ‘ Justice and equality demands that these brave boys be. rewarded for their heroism and patriotic service.

MANY FROM HERE ATTENDED CHICAGO STOCK SHOW

A large number of people from this county are attending the fat stock show at Chicago this week. J. N, Leatherman, John R. Lewie and Russell Lewis went to Chicago Wednesday evening. About twenty farmers went up on the early train this Wednesday morning. W. F. Coss, of Carpenter township; R. W. Merritt, of Remington; Roe Yeoman and J. C. Gwin, of this city, went to the city on the Mil ktrain today.

BAPTIST CHURCK REVIVAL.

At the meeting last night the evangelist introduced Ins audience to a family thSt can be found in almost any community, the “Tatar” family. He said that this family consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Dick Taber and their three children, Agi, Ini and little Dick. In Mr. Hamilton's sermon fault night the thought was made plain that sin is not only in doing the wrong thing, but in failing to try to do the right thing. Man’s business while on earth is to love and serve God and man, and when man fails bo do that be as just as black a sinner in the sight of God as if he had transgressed other specific commandments. The making of money is not the purpose and end of existence, but the development of Christian character. The subject of the sermon for tins evening will be “A Living Sacrifice."
