We have attended the January Furniture Market in Chicago, and found with one or two t exceptions everything is higher than last "fall. Nearly all furniture is made. up after the order is placed and we found that the January market was the largest in years.

BUY MORE FINE STOCK.

■ . - V Wood Bros, were out last week and made another valuable addition to their herd of Spotted Poland Chinas. They purchased a two-year-old sow, American Queen, No. 28084, which was junior yearling champion in Bock & Shirks herd in 1917, and bred to General Booster, which sold for $1,005.00, .the highest priced boar of the breed. She was sired by O. & K.*s Pride, one of the foundation boars of the breed, who was champion boar at the National Swine Show in 1916, and has sired many champions, including the highest priced sow sold at .Bock & Shirks* sale at Tipton last month, which sold for $560.00. American Queen is a granddaughter of Helen Gould 39, who has farrowed four grand champions for the National Swine Show at Omaha. This breeding crossed with the Beaver Lad blood they have should make a strong breeding herd for Jasper county.

LOCAL FIGHTER IS HONORED

GEORGE DONNELLEY, ARGONNE FIGHTER, HONORED BY HOLY NAME SOCIETY. - Sunday the Holy Name Society of St. Augustine’s church did honor to their members returned from the military service of Uncle Sam. The day started off with a High Mass at 7:30 o’clock, where a hundred/ members, dncludiing the returned soldiers, received communion in a body. After the Mass impressive. ceremonies were held, when twelve candidates were taken into the society. In the evening an entertainment and open meeting was held at the parochial school hall. The boys were called upon and each gave experiences of barracks life. Private George Donnelly, who was in the memorable battle of Argonne Forest, and who was wounded on the eighth day after having entered the fight, gave a very interesting talk. He told how the Yanks entered the forest and sometimes slowly but al-, ways surely advanced day by day, in the face of nests of .machine guns and other hindrances placed there by the enemy. At the time Donnelly was wounded in the arm from a piece of flying shrapnel out of his company of over 200 men there were but 35 left, the rest having either been killed or wounded in the eight days of fighting. He was in the hospital in France for two months. He has not received his discharge up to date and will return to Camp Taylor Wednesday, where he is now stationed. Young Donnelly went forth to fight for democracy although the son of a monarch—no other than our congenial Alfred Donnelly, well known as “the Onion King.” Mr. Donnelly is mighty proud of his fighting boys, having two sons in the service, George and Paul. Paul is still in France and was wounded on the same day as George while on a different sector of the front. Sunday, February 10, will go down in the annals of the local Holy Name Society as “Victory Day,” and will long be remembered by everyone present at the -day’s ceremonies.

PROMINENT MAN ARRESTED

WELL KNOWN CITIZEN ARRESTED THIS MORNING, OTHER ARRESTS TO FOLLOW. It is a well fact in court circles that wholesale arrests would sooner or later be made. Some men are just naturally careless, they utterly fail to observe important happenings -and things that are before them daily, things which most people know exist and see. Time and time again the attention of people has been called to these things thru the -medium of this publication but some men persist in regarding them other than in a serious light and utterly fail to observe that which is so vital to every one of them. , This morning while coming down Main Street Mr. George Short’s attention was “arrested” by the display -in Hilliard & Hamill’s windows,, he went into the store to investigate. Mr. Short freely acknowledges that he had no idea he had been doing himself an injustice in not having particularly observed these weekly displays. He is satisfied now that he can buy both Foreign and Domestic hats in Rensselaer exactly like those sold in Chicago and for much less money. Mr. Short wears ‘Borsalino’ hats (Italian). —H & H sell them for $6 while in Chicago they sell for $lO. If you don’t believe this is true, ask any one of the following men, you know them all: Cal Able, Zern Wrong, Red Handle, W. L. Cook, Jud Fish, Clifford Glass, Hiram Night or Shorty Collins.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS

~‘ORE AT —ME E~WN& j ***^^^* ? **l .E IE 1 TO ENFORCE PEACE BEING HELD IN CHICAGO. There is now in session in Chicago the Great Lakes Congress for B League of Nations, which is being held under the auspices of the League to Enforce Peace. A series of these meetings is being held in the United States in nine different representative cities. The first was held at New York Feb. 5 and 6, the second at Boston Feb. 1 and 8, the third is now in session in Chicago, the dates assigned to it being Feb. 10 and 11. The other meetings will be held at Minneapolis, Portland, Salt Lake City, St. Louis and Atlanta. Some of the greatest men in this coutry will be heard at these meetings. At the Chicago meeting the program includes the names of Hon. William Howard Taft, president of the league, Hon. Henry Van Dyke, former minister to the Netherlands, Miss Jane Adams, of Hull House, and Hon. Henry Morganthau, formerly minister to Turkey. It would seem from extracts from a late article written by Frank H. Simonds, who is now in France, that some of the talent in this league might have been used bv the Presiderit, who is now sitting at the peace table in Paris. , No one who knows of the ability and universal fairness of Mr. Simonds will question the statements which we herd quote from his pen.

“Above all else, British policy at the peace conference is based on a new interpretation of the. world by British statesmanship and diplomacy One ought to say at the outset that Britain is incomparably better represented at Paris on the technical and on the diplomatic side than any one of the other great powers. There are more brain» and better brain* in the British delegation than in any other, and these brains are concentrated on a clearly thought out program. • A decisive role in war and in peace belongs to America, for precisely the same reason that Great Britain held is, so often in the past. We have -come relatively fresh on the stricken field. We alone are still strong, fighting as well as otherwise. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize America. British policy has accepted this situatio nskillfully. The keynote of the British policy is that there shall be no break of any kind between America and England; chat every conceivable concession shall be made, targe or small, on the political as contrasted with the economic phase, to the end that Anglo-American relations and Anglo-American friendship may be placed on a solid basis for the future. . ' « In the matter of the league of nations, Hie thing was little more than a vague formula, even after Mr. Wilson had outlined his fourteen points. At the moment when the President came to Europe it became the mission of the British to' work out the President’s ideas and give them form, togive them coherence, and they have done this. Later it will -be for the French to take hold and make them intelligible by translation into the French language. If the British had not accepted Mr. Wilson’s league of nations idea; if they had not undertaken part oif the task of bringing it from the clouds to concrete ideas, there would not have been much chance of success for that scheme at Paris; but the British were keen enough to see, first, that President Wilson desired it; Second, that their own people desired it, and, third, that if they failed to give substantial and necessary aid to bring it off, the# would be criticized at home and suspected abroad.”
