The Evening Republican.

Few people know that in the glaciers of the western national parka live several species of minute insects, hopping about like tiny fleas, They are harder to see than the so-called sand fleas of the seashore, because much smaller. Slender, dark brown worms live in countless millions in the surface ice. Microscopic, rose-colored plants also thrive in such-vast numbers that they tint the surface have and there.

Sailors have a curious way pf knowing when their ship is approaching land. They go to mother nature for their knowledge. If you are on the ship they may ask you to feel the deck, which is wet with dew. Even though the stars are shining clearly, and the-sea absolutely smooth, the deck seems as though water had been poured across it. The sailor will then inform you that dew is never to be found more than thirty miles from land, so the dew is a good prophet.

Not least novel of substitutes Is the use of iron in place of wool for. Altering air for compressors and for cooling electrical apparatus. The new Alter is provided with long and crooked passages, in which dust particles are held up by the sharp turns and simple friction along the stralghter portions of the route. The air is quite free from moisture. Little pressure Is necessary, and the cleaning seems to be quite effective.

The sting of every reproachful speech is the tru"> of it.

WEATHER For Indiana-—Fair tonight, warmer north and central portion; Tuesday fair, warmer.

Insects in Glaciers.

Marine Tips.

Useful Substitute.

Optimistic Thought.

DRIVE OUENED WITH MUSIC AND ADDRESS THIS MORNING

The Jasper county Victory Loan fbive opened this Monday morning with a band concert by the college band on the court house steps, and was followed by a short address by George A. Williams, who that bond buying be started immediately, that Jasper county may soon climb #rer the top. Chairman C. G. Spitler and his aides are entering the work enthusiastically and hope to have the grteater percent of the quota subscribed before the end of the present week. The war train will be here Wednesday evening and will remain until Thursday morning, and should prove of anusual interest. The tank billed for the city on the same day is behind in its schedule &nd it is not known what day it will put in an appearance. Considerable trouble has been encoutered by the huge tanks and they seem to have more trouble in negotiating the distance here than they did in their drive on the Hun.

CANTATTA, -“THE RESURRECTION,” GIVEN BY CHOIR

The members of the choir of the Presbyterian church, under the direction of Mrs. Loren Sage, gave a splendid rendition of the sacred cantatta, “The Resurrection,” as a part of the Easter services at 'that church Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock. The alto and baritone solos weresplen didly taken by Miss Ruth Daugherty and Mr. Robert Baumgartner. The choir was indeed fortunate in having the difficult soprano solo parts taken by Ann Leonard, a former member who will this year receive her diploma from the Chicago Musical college, and who will enter upon her musical career as a member of a musical trio doing high class Chautauqua work the coming summer in Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska. The many friends of Miss Leonard are anticipating for her a successful career, her voice in the Sunday programe giving evidence of the development in power, color and timbre, which has come through conscientious application.—Contributed. Watch for the play, “Lest We’Forget,” by the Hiking club.

SPECIAL SERVICES WILL END

The special week of services of the First Christian church will come to a close tonight with a baptismal service when there will be thirty to be baptised. These services have ■beeuumasually successful. Nothing but the visible results can be determined, but of these it can be said the attendance at the meetings were largely attended and fifty-eight came forward to take membership with the church. The invitation will be given at the service tonight. A large attendance is expected tonight.

A reeent letter received from Dr. C. E. Johnson by a friend here states that he is very anxious to get home as he has seen all the so-called beauties and wonders of the old country. He further stated that a friend of his, who thought he was extending him a great favor, had recommended to the War Department that he be sent to Russia as a member of the American Food Relief Committee. Which is only another reason that the Rensselaer physician has taken considerable stock in what Sherman had to say anent wars.

DEMOCRATIC TEAMWORK

(From the Springfield Union, Rep.) No better illustration of the blundering incompetency of the Democratic Administration than is presented by the chaotic situation of the price-fixing policy could be looked for. Here the Industrial Board of the Department of Commerce and the purchasing agencies of the Railroad Administration and other Governmental , enterprises are found working at cross purposes with the utmost fidelty of all Democratic party traditions. One department of the Government is working earnestly, if not with the utmost wisdom, to stabilize prices, and other department are doing their utmost to unstabilize them. This represents teamwork as it is understood by the Democratic party, of which it has been truly said that it never agrees except to disagree.

DIDN’T WET HIS BOOTS

(From the Buffalo Express) A man mounted the base of the monument in Toledo on Sunday, “We’ll use Memorial Hall this afternoon if we have to wade through blood to do it!” he shouted. A policeman grabbed him and he was thrown into a patrol wagon. The man who essayed to speak next also was arrested. So ended the great Debs protest. There was no wading through blood.

HAIL, HAIL THE CONQUERING HERO COMES

Camp Merritt, N. J., April 21, 1919. Mr. C. W. Hanley, Rensselaer Indiana. Wire me twenty. See you in ten days' : Mike Wagner. His Honor was much perturbed upon receiving the above message this Monday morning and scratched his head as he was lulled into a deep brown study. Could it be that his star court reporter, the upright Michael, the man free from all staint, the soldier of fortune, had some how or other stepped on the corns of a wrathful New Jersey court? The Honor’s wonder grew as read' and re-read the missive. “Twenty dollars and ten days” is a familiar term to the boss of the local court, and the words could mean but one thing to him—Michael had erred. However, the twenty was soon on its way to the supposedly hapless Make. The judge saw to that for Mike’s his favorite, but it did not dissolve the maze of sorrow which encompassed His Honor. The more he thought of it the more horrible grew the spectre. Then some one. suggested to the judge that perhaps Mike needed the money for traveling purpose and that he was to be discharged within ten days. Then it dawned upon the boss of the bench that he had permitted his thoughts to travel in the wrong channel. Slowly his visage became wreathed in smiles, and now he’s awaiting the day when his star reporter again sets foot upon the soil of his first love. Yep, Mike'si coming, coming from the bloody battlefields, coming back to the quietude of dear old Rensselaer, after a year and a month of absence which he has spent in foreign fields as a member of Uncle Sam’s Unbeatables. It was April last that Mike laid away the pad and pencil of the New-ton-Jasper circuit court to enter his new field of occupation. April third was the day that he was swept from the moorings of civilian life and into the sea of military strife. The first time he toed the mark and doffed his hat to a superior officer was at Camp Mills, bjew York, on the fourth day of April on his arrival at the eastern cantonment with six other Jasper county boys, the smallest quota to be sent from here during the drafting process. He was not to dwell long among Hie effete of the East, however, for it was decided the sinews of the army required his pencil pushing and short-hand proclivities far more' on the other side of the Atlantic than on this side, hence, the decision to place him on a boat and send him over to get a close-up of way modern warfare is conducted. Like Caesar, he went and saw and conquored, his travels talcing him to England, France, Italy and ultimately into Belgium. The greater portion of his time in listening to the roar of the enemy bullets was spent on the Italian front, where he rendered invaluable service along the many important fronts, which were the objectives of the Germans during the great offensive launched last summer and which culminated in their defeat. » And now the home folks wait with open arms for the coming of the conquering hero.

HERE’S LOVELY CHANCE GIRLS; FURNITURE, N’EVERTHING

A ton of iee, furniture, cut glass, ehirta ami the first payment on building lots are among the donations offered by Lincoln avenue, Chicago merchants, to the couple who will be so condescending as to have the nuptial knot tied in an aeroplane, while flying. “Bride and groom wanted,” reads a personal s in todays Herald-Examiner “The bride will have the choice of being married in an aeroplane or tank,” said W. E. Webster, vice-chair-man of the ward committee. “It is a chance for several couples to have a big military wedding and perform a patriotic cWty at the same time.
