PUTTING OUT A USEFUL CALENDAR

Charles A Roberts, the buggy main, who is always anxious to please his customers, is giving out one of the most useful calendars we have seen this year. It is a large map of Indiana and also of the war zone, and has much other vafluable information. By the way, Mr. Roberts keeps one of the neatest places in the city and as a competitor, while absolutely fair and square, we found him to be pretty stiff competition. He has ibeen thelbuggy and wagon game for a long time and knows it from A to Z. Leonard Wartena, who has 'tween at his home here for sometime on account of sickness, returned to Indiana Harbor today.

Jomn P. Ryan, of Gillam township, was in Rensselaer today. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Herod, of Wheatfield, were in Rensselaer today. G. J. Jessen, the jeweler, made a business trip to Chicago today. J. C. Flack and his brother-in-law, Thomas Fare, returned to their home today in Walkerton, after a short visit here with the family of the former’s uncle, Charles Malchow. Mrs. Chester Besse, who had been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John O’Connor, of Kidman, and Mrs. H. T. Stokes .and children, of Hammond, were met here today by Chester Besse, of Remington.

MONON NEWS ALSO COMPLAINS

saYs the mail service is POOR IN THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE. I - - - -- The JI. S. mail service has 'been severely criticised recently on account of its inefficiency by the metropolitan press and some of our local exchanges, and judging from our own experiences with the Monticello post office the complaints are well founded. I Subscribers have failed to get their I papers and correspondence of business men have been delayed. A notable instance is that of L. D. Smith, who moved from here to Monticello Week before last. Before leaving he subscribed for the News, but thus far has failed to receive a copy. - • A card from him Friday noted his failure to get the paper and demanded the return of his money if he could not get the paper. Whereupon Saturday we forwarded him the missing papers and wrote him that his name was on the list arid? the paper being sient as he had directed. To our amazement, the letter was returned Monday, as “unclaimed.” Mr. Smith was evidently not Standing at the genera! delivery window to claim his own when it arrived and before the übiquitous clerk had time to mail it back on the next train. We do not wish to reflect on our life-long friend, Postmaster Simons, for such irregularity, as loose methods in public business would not be countenanced for on'e moment by ! him. We believe when his attention is called to the grievance, as it has been, there will be some civil Service drill that will root out offending clerks, who care less for good service than the meagre stipend they are supposed to earn. The postal system seems to be in danger of meeting the same fate as the railroads, express and wires, which have been so unsatisfactory to the public under government control.

Peter Pappas, formerly proprietor of the Pallas Confectionery in this city, was here today on business. Ray Parks and John Parkison will leave Saturday for Liberty, Miss., for a visit with Harve Robinson, former linotype operator in this office. In the casualty list in the Indianapolis News of Jan. 16, 1919, there appeared the name of Private Raymond Lanlxhm, Rensselaer, Ind., died of disease. The lad is the son of B. T. Lanham, southeast of town.

R~~ 3( 2(atu£t 2(ave £alc4-7 • ■ * That’s a question one of our good friends asked us the other day. And we believe it well to repeat our answer in this announcement. The steady growth of our business has been due to our selling only ’"TT~ “ the most dependable merchandise. Our merchandise has been more than dependable. We have seen to it that it always has been the most desirable kind, the hind of merchandise that “moves readily. The result is at the end of the season we never have a.stoch of undesirable “left-overs” to “pawn” off on the public by using socalled price slashing tactics as an inducement to buy. _ In all the'time we have been in Rensselaer we have never sought to create a favorable impression with anything bordering on the sensational. Rather, we - have always felt that the men and young men whose patronage is worth while, wouldn’t permit themselves to be hooked by misguiding bait. We always have conscientiously endeavored to earn and desrvethew busines by having the most dependable Clothing, Furnishings and Hats; by giving IUU per cent value fifty-two weeks out of the year instead of padding prices so as to be able to slash them at the end of the season. 1 Supply your wearing apparel needs at this store and you II play safe in more ways than one. We guarantee absolute satisfaction or your money back. Hilliard S' Hamill S

JOHN JUMPS JOB.

John Bardwell, who was married recently to Mrs. Martin, at the time the couple came here from Fair Oaks and opened a resitauranit, took French leave Saturday when his wife was out of town. The couple had been getting along vefy agreeably since embarking in business here a few weeks -since, and his wife -is at a loss to knew why he should have acted so queerly. Mrs. Bordwell had been calle dto Rensselaer on account of the sickness of a relative, and while she was away he went to the bank and drew most of the money, which was deposited in Mrs. Bardwell's name, and departed for parts unknown. The bank made good to Mrs. Bordwell the amount he withdrew and will probably prosecute the man if he does not square the thing very early. Mrs. Bardwell is continuing her restaurant and lunch business, which has grown nicely. She is meeting considerable encouragement from her patrons.—Mt. Ayr Tribune.
