FIRST ANNUAL MEETING OF BETTERMENT ASSOCIATION

That the first afinual riieeting of the Jasper County Betterment Association, which will be held in the court house on next Tuesday, March 4th, will mark the beginning of a period of growth and improvement of the county, is the ,belief and desire of the officers who have been devoting their time and energies to lending those final touches -to-the —arrangements which will assure its success. Every citizen of the county is invited by President Leopold to be present at this meeting and to take part in the deliberations to develop a constructive plan of work to make the county a better place in which to live and to do business. The committee on constitution has just reported a final draft of the or-g-anization plan which will be submitted to the meeting for approval. Besides stating the object of the association it provides for the usual officers which are to be appointed by a board of directors, which in turn are to be elected at the annual meeting next Tuesday The board of directors will be assisted bv an advisory committee representing every organized interest and as far as possible the unorganized interests of the county. Every member of the advisory committee will be at the head of a group of people to whom will be assigned the solution of some'problem in relation to the betterment of the county. These various groups will meet at the court house at 10 o’clock next Tuesday morning and in so far as possible suggest means of improvement. The meetings held will be open to the general public and everyone interested is invited to attend and take part. In the afternoon the suggestions of each committee will be incorporated into one large and logical program of which the association will undertake to make a reality. The—committee on—speakers—announces that they "have been fortunate enough to secure experts in practically every branch of industry represented in the county and believe that this, together with the ideas of a large number of representative citizens, will enable the association to arrive at some very definite means of progress.

INCOME TAX EXPERTS ARE IN THE CITY

Collector of Internal Revenue Peter J. Kruyer sent two of his deputies to Rensselaer today, Hershberger and Rothrock, for the purpose of aiding the citizens of th"e! county who will be forced to fill out an income tax return blank. Their office hours will be from 8:00 a.m. until 5 p. m., and they will remain here until the close of business on March 1. Mt. Kruyer explains this move as follows: “Many thousands must this year file returns who were not affected by the ruling a year ago. Here are the requirements: “Every unmarried person who had a net income of SI,OOO or more during 1918; and every married person, who, together with wife (or husband) and minor children, had a net income erf $2,000 in 1918.”

The cafeteria dinner given under the auspices of the Sunday school of the Methodist church Tuesday evening was a splendid success, S2OO being realized for the Sunday school fund. There were about four hundred guests present. Dan Morrissey, the second trick operator at the Monon station, was at the depot and had the appearance of a million dollar railroad magnate. Dan’s atitire was so stunning that few were able to recognize him. The explanation is a substantial increase in wages. The United States government now owes nearly two million men S6O each. With the signing by the President shortly before midnight Monday of the great six billion dollar revenue bill which appropriates a bonus of S6O to every service man upon his honorable discharge, every discharged soldier, sailor and marine, who has | been honorably discharged is now eligible to claim the amount from the government, it was announced at the , treasury department Tuesday.

LETTER FROM CORP. RALPH SPARKS

The following letter is from Ralph Sparks, who a year or such a matter ago was the teacher at, the Lewiston school in Barkley township. Ralph was a young fellow full-of life and made a remark which caused some to misunderstand him and question his patriotism. He has since proven his metal and his genuine worth and virile patriotism. Wc publish with pleasure his letter: Honinngen on the Rhine, Germany, January 23, 1919. Editor Rensselaer Republican, Rensselaer, Indiana. Dear Mr. Hamilton: — Below is a special cable to the New York Times, dated Nov. 10, from their correspondent, Edwin L. James: ■ . “One may imagine that m a few days the Americans will be asking which of its divisions played the biggest role in beating Germany. Far be it from me to undertake the onerous task of nominating our best division, but it may be set forth that one -which France will long remember with the deepest love and respect is the 2nd. My personal notebook reflecting the story of operations in which the Americans-have 'been engaged indicates the 2nd nas done the most fighting of any of our divisions. The Ist, 42nd and 26 divisions, it may be stated, will not agree with this verdict. In fairness to the Ist division it should be said that it was the first in the trenches and in every battle it has * most excellent account of itself. Ine 2nd division is composed of the btn and 6th Marines, the 9th and 23rd regular infantry, all possessing fame, and the 12th, 15th and 17th artillery regiments. In the early autumn of 1917, when the American uniform s un ]r no wn on the western front, there came to France two divisions of American soldiers hastily gathered together and sent over in response to the demand for early representation from the new nation which had joined the allies. These were the Ist and 2nd divisions. While the Ist division went most quickly into training, the 2nd was used that winter for all sorts of work, building railroads, landing coal, and other prosaic tasks, between times getting military training Its officers were mostly experienced men and the skeleton regiments was composed of old army men In M-arch, 1918, the 2nd division left the training area in the vicinity, of Bourmont and went in with the French for a six week training period in the trenches on the heights of the Meuse southeast of Verdun. After that it was sent to a division sector of its own in the region of Les Eparges, where it held the line about tJo months. When the .Germans started the “victory” drive-in_MaTCh it will be remembered, General Pershing offered General Foch anything the Americans had m France that could be of use in stopping the enemy. The Ist division was taken from the Toul sector and sent to the Montdidier region. The 2nd drv V*ion was taken out of the lines for a short period of intensive training and then taken to the Somme region. The Ist division had n Gantigny ana the 2nd was about to go into the lines when the Germans changed our .plans by driving southward from the Chemin des Dames and reaching Chateau Thierry in the early days of June. The 2nd division was put into camions and rushed into the battle here, where the Germans threatened Paris as they had not threatened the French capital before since the dark days of .the f eau Thierry, on June Ist, -the Zntt was thrown into the line across the Paris-Metz highway, where the Germans were nearest Pans. There in the Bellau Wood the sth and 6th Marines won undying fame when they stopped the Boche rush. On the first day they had no artillery, because the guns had not been able to get up. They had no food except emergency rations, and their ammunition was not all it might have been. But they stopped the Germans at Bois Belleau and fought eleven days against repeated German attacks to drive them back. The 2nd division held the barrier against the German advance all through June, and on the last day of that month, the 9th and 23rd won glory by capturing Vaux and gaining with the Marines a hue which greatly bettered allied prospects. The 2nd was then taken out for a well-earned rest. Nothing was heard of it until the morning of July 18 when Marchal Foch electrified the world by. his brilliant blow. at the Chateau Thierry salient, which history will record at the turning point in the war. The most important blow, indeed the vital blow, m this offensive, was hit just south of Soissons and by the Ist and with the famed French Moroccoan division between them. It was an advance of eight kilometres on the first i day by this trio of divisions which made possible the eventual reduction lof the salient menacing Pans. Ihe I 2nd division had suffered very heavy ' casualties and had to have many replacements to retain its power, It was withdrawn from the battle area and book up the task of traimhg the thousands of raw replacements. When General Pershing started his drive for.&he reduction of the bt. Mihiel salient on September 12, the 2nd division had its place m the hardest fighting along the southern side of the salient, where the heaviest German resistance was expected. Again it made good, through in record time. After the St Mihiel battle the« now famed shock troops of the 2nd division disappeared from the battle line to reappear on October 2, where least expected—over in the Champagne with General Gouraud’s Fourth French arnjy, which drove Jnorth to free Rheims and.break the Boche hold on that region. On the first day m the region of Somme-Py, the 2nd broke through the German line for a gain of six kilometres, leading every other division in the attack. In the succeeding days the 2nd pressed fbr-

ward, and greatly aided General Gouraud’s army in breaking the German hold on the hills of . Champagne anddliberating the martyred city of Rheims, for which the Kaiser’s heart had bled so freely. When General Perching jstarted his drive on Novemgreat sweep to Sedan, the 2nd division was in the linfi in front of St. Georges and Landres-et-St. Georges against a position which had held the Americans at a standstill for two weeks. It broke through for five kilometres the first day, and, leading all other divisions, was responsible for the German communique first statement during the war that the line had been broken. As advance became a general pursuit the 2nd division kept .up its pace and in seven days gained forty kilometres. Such is a brief sketch of the performance of the 2nd division, which helped save Paris, helped reduce the St. Mihiel salient, and helped reach Sedan. Some think it is the best division in any army in France.” Thinking that the people of Rensselaer and Jasper county would enjoy this aceeunt of an American line division, I am sending it to you with a request to publish it. And you may say that I have participated in every engament of the division and came through it all in fine condition. I am now on the Rhine, having arrived here Dec. 9. With best wishes to all, I am, . Most sincerely yours, CORP. RALPH P. SPARKS, - 73 Co., 6 Reg., U. S. Marines.

WAR DRY ACT BARS ALCOHOL OVER HALF OF ONE PER CENT

Washington, Feb. 24. —Any beverage containing more than one-half of one per cent alcohol would be banned by the wartime prohibition act, effective next July 1, under a measure approved today by the house judiciary committee to make the act effective. The committee’s definition of intoxicating liquor was written in the bill as follows: “The words beer, wine, or Other intoxicating malt or vinous liquors in the war prohibition act shall be construed as any liquor which contains in excess of one-traftf of one per cent of alcohol.” Enforcement of the wartime prohibition law, which continues in effect until after demobilization, is placed with the" internal revenue bureau by the bill framed by the committee. Agents of the bureau would investigate violations of the law and prosecutions would be conducted by the United States attorneys. Any place where liquor is manufactured or sold would be declared a public nuisance, subject to abatement, and its operators subject to fine and imprisonment as guilty of a misdemeanor. Property that owners knowingly permit to be used for violating the law would be subject to a lien for fine and costs of cases resulting from the prosecution.

You should see the swell suits we have taken measures for. Tfley certainly do fit perfect and the cloth and tailoring can not be equaled by any firm in our city. Duvall’s Quality Shop.

Relief Came at Last Father Had Given Up Hope of Curing Son’s Cough Mr. A. F. Sherer, owner of a machine shop, Haviland, Ohio, says. “ My son had a cobgh for several years. We began to think «,his case a hopeless one. He could get no relief until he used Glando Pine. Three bottles cured him.” A neglected cough has undoubtedly caused more deaths than any other agency. A lingering cough should be promptly treated. M allowed to continue the tissues of the lungs will be weakened and the power to resist epidemics of cold and grip is lessened. By getting three ounces of Glando Pine you can make one pint of excellent cough syrup. Keep it on hands and use it ; freely. Stop that cough before it has too firm a grip upon you. Don’t be careless and make a mistake that may cost you your life. If you can nob* get Glando Pine of your druggist send 50 cents to The Gland-Aid Co., Fort Wayne, Indiana, and it will be sent.you. It is easy to prepare, costs but little, and is pleasant to take. It is splendid for coughs, colds, bronchial affections, and highly recommended for croup. It will relieve the spasmodic coughing in whooping cough. Glando Pine contains the pure form of white pine to which other valuable ingredients have been added. Directions for preparing accompany each bottle.
