PLEASANT NEWS FOR THOSE STILL IN SERVICE.

Washington, April 7.—Large numbers of drafted men who have been looking forward to early demobilization are doomed to disappointment. Many are to be kept in service for the full period * allowed by the law, which is four months after peace has been declared. The War Department desires to keep these men in service until a satisfactory number of enlistments have been obtained under the general staff plan of increasing the regular army to 500,000 men. , The decision to this effect is contained in a letter of Secretary Baker to Senator Reed of Missouri, made public today. It was written just before Secretary Baker left Washington for Europe. - // Secretary Baker wrote that enlistments were coming in slowly and added: “As enlistments can be made only up to the authorized strength of the regular army and this strength is not sufficient to meet all the necessities existing for troops, it will be necessary to retain a large number of the selective men in the army until such time as the War Department may be empowered by Congress to raise by voluntary enlistments a sufficient number of men to perform the duties required.” (In explaining the delay in demobilizing the men, Secretary Baker placed the blame partly upon the British shipping interests, which have taken their ships away for use and for the transportation of British colonials.

RENSSELAER TO HAVE BAND THIS SUMMER.

A movement has been started for the re-organization of the Rensselaer -band and—it is to be hoped that we can be represented by the same high class musical organization as before the war which took so many of the members away. A petition is being circulated and is being liberally signed, asking that the city council appropriate so much to defray the current expenses of such an organization, and the petition will be presented to the council at its next meeting. Heretofore the council has never failed to subscribe for the band and it is certain that they will gladly do so again. Many of the former band members are again here and with the new timber which can be developed, it is felt that the quality of the music will be just as good as in previous years. A band leader can be secured and practice can be held each vtoglc, A good band is a distinct boost to any town and helps to keep it in the limelight, and it is to be hoped that no time will be lost in organizing one.

VERNON NOWELS DISPOSES OF CONFECTIONARY STORE.

. A deal was consummated Monday >y which Vernon Nowels disposed of ris restaurant and confectionary store on Washington street to Zern and Don Wright who took immediate possession. It was twelve years ago that Mr. bowels bought the business of which le just disposed. At that time it was a poor paying investment and offered but small opportunity. However, in the years that followed Mr. Nowels made of it one of the best business propositions in the city and at the present time the volume of business transacted in the popular restaurant is amazing. Mr. Nowels simply had the knack of meeting and holding his trade and he and his family made many friends who will regret to learn that they are to retire to a more private life. The new owners aye well known -to all of our citizens and will no doubt continue to operate the business in the same pleasing manner of the past. It is understood that they will resume the serving of lunches abandoned by Mr. Nowels on account of poor health and the added labor.

MICKIE SAYS

DEAN NEW CLUB HEAD; IMPROVEMENTS TO COME

At the annual election of the board of directors of the Van Rensselaer eiub Monday evening the following members were selected to compose the board: Van R. Grant for a period of three years; B. F. Fendig and D. D. Dean for a period of two years each and H. F. Parker and C. E. Garver, for one year each. Following the election of these members, the board met in secret session, electing D. D. Dean as president to succeed Van R. Grant and C. E. Garver as vice-president to suceed 8.-J. Jarrette. The coming summer months is to see many club improvements and is to be a period of reconstruction, neces sary on account of so many of the members having entered the military service. With virtually the entire membership again able to participate in all club movements, a new impetus has been added and extensive plans for improvements and for entertainment have , been planned and it is hoped of all club members that before the termination of the present year that the club will have so advanced ds to exceed its pre-war status. Co-operation with the city in many things of general municipal interest is not a remote possibility, and it is the opinion of President Dean and other members, that the club should not continue along in its own narrow shere but should broadeii out and aid in all community welfare movements and make its influence for good felt. The following committees were appointed by President Dean: Entertainment committee: H. B. Clark, G. E. Wilcox, Don Wright/ House committee: H. B. Tuteur, A. E. Wallace, Herbert Hammond, F. C. Leek, Walter Randle. . Purchasing committee': G. J. Jessen, William Traub, Samuel Fendig. Auditing committees Fred Arnott, C. M. Sands.

REPORT OF THE JASPER COUNTY HOSPITAL.

To the Hon. Board of County Commissioners. Gentlemen: The trustess of the Jasper county hospital beg leave to make the following report for the period from July 31, 1817 to August 1, 1918: Receipts . ,$8,615.40 Disbursements as follows: Improvements ....,....$ *220.30 Sterelizer • • 668.50 X-Ray outfit (part) 794.42 Bal furniture & equipment. 224.73 Real Estate purchased ... 3,500.00 $5,407.95 Salaries, nursese and other help $6,488.52 Supplies 4,309.12 Total disbursements . .$16,205.59 You will note the actual running expense amounts to $10,797.64 while the receipts are $8,615.40, leaving a deficit only of $2,182.24. A very modest sum ineed when compared to the great blessing the hospital has been to this community. The management feels that there . has been some unjust criticism inasmuch as the report has been circudated that the hospital was running short SIOOO per month. The actual facts are the total operating expense was less than that amount for the reason that permanent improvements and the purchase of real estate should not be charged to current operating expense. We further wish to report that during this period there have been admitted 329 patients, Number of operations, 174; 710 babies born 32. . '4The hospital is growing m favor and we believe the management is need additional room very badly, as giving Universal satisfaction. We all know who have come in touch with the hospital? Respectively submitted, The Board of Hospital Trustees.
