WHY BE SELF-CONSCIOUS?

You know how you feel when your clothes don’t fit, or you have a tooth out, or your hat is a back number. You feel like everybody’s lookin’ at you. You and the world can’t mix. You even walk through the alleys. Now that’s just how you feel driving some cars. And it’s all in gettfin’ started righty Don’t be “gypped” by a smooth-tongued salesman ; buy what you want. Think what your ear will look like next year—they all look good when they’re new. You can pull up tin any old crowd with an Oldsmobile and feel right at ease. If there’s any “wishing,” let “George” do it. If your old car makes you feel like your sock was coming down, buy an Oldst—‘HUGH KIRK.

ISN’T THIS REFRESHING?

—— • - * CAPTAIN TUTEUR, MANY TIMES A CANDIDATE, RENOUNCES DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Never again will Captain C. Arthur Tuteur become a candidate for the office of prosecuting attorney of Jasper and Newton counties on the democratic ticket! ! ! Never again will he bare his chest to the onslaught of the republican voters by having his name placed in the Column beneath the rooster in anybody’s election! I ! The man who in past years has rivaled William J. Bryan as an office seeker has renounced the Democratic party forever, and is even now enrolled in the ranks of those who carry the symbol of republicanism. Ever since the day that Mr. Tuteur attained the age of manhood he has been a stablemate of the democratic cogs of the county. His, along with the remainder of his party in the county, has been a futile fight, filled with remorse, grief and sorrow—and now he Shuns it all, caring no longer to bear the responsibility that as a democrat he -has had thrust upon him. From now'on the diminutive and continuous office seeker is going to align himself with the Republican party, ■where his efforts will not go for naught and where he will be rewarded with something besides defeat. Art’s been convinced, convinced that he has been following the, wrong path and permitting his brilliancy to become dimmed through his selection of politics. ‘The startling announcement of Captaiin Tuteur has chilled to the marrow his former running mates in this county, and caused joy in the hearts of his many republican friends who are pleased to learn even at the age of thirty-four years he has not~foUnd it too late to right himself. * The first official announcement of the change of.mind of the Rensselaer boy is tojae found in the column of the Washington correspondent in today’s Indianapolis Star, which runs as follows: “Captain Arthur Tuteur, of Rensselaer, Ind., has just received his discharge from the army and has departed for Indianapolis to attend the Shriners’ meeting. He served in the military intelligence both in Washington and Key West, Fla. Captain Tuteur formerly was a member of the Indiana national guard and served on the Mexican border three years ago. Inability to pass the eye test prevented him from going overseas. He came up from Florida last week, wearing a rich coat of tan, but he declared that the Florida weather is less severe than a Washington summer. “Captain Tuteur, in common with an increasing number of men who have been in the military service, has renounced the Democratic party and hereafter will vote the republican ticket. He says there is an “accumulation of reasons” for leaving the Democratic party and renouncing the present administration. Captain Tuteur, before entering the army, was active in the democratic organization of his home county alnd at the last election was his party’s candidate for prosecuting attorney.” It is not known whether Mr. luteur will continue to make the race for prosecuting attorney now that he has changed his politics, but it is presumed that he will', as he is confident that he could be elected if he were to make the race as a republican.

Esther Karr, who had been teaching school in Monroe county, near Bloom i'ngton, returned today to her home in Fair Oaks.

SELECTIONS PROVE POPULAR

APPOINTMENT OF MRS. HUNT AND MR. LANE UNIVERSALLY APPROVED. The selection of Mrs. Judson J. Hunt and Edward Lane to membership of the city board of education meets with popular favor. . Both will make efficient members of this very important board. The last legislature passed an act amending the law for the election of school trustees of cities and incorporated towns -to read in part as follows: “That the common council of each city and the board of trustees of each incorporated town of this state, shall, at a regular meeting of such common council or board of trustees, after the incorporation of such town or city, elect three (3) school trustees, one of whom may be a woman, who shall hold their offices one (1), two (2) and three (3) years, respectively, from and after the first day of the succeeding August, and not more than two (2) of whom shall be adherents of the same political party.” Complying with the mandate of this new law, the board appointed Edward Lane to succeed George A. Williams. Mr. Williams had resigned some time, ago and was anxious to be relieved of the duties of the office. Mr. Lane’s term .begins at once and will expire two years from next August. It had been understood that women were eligible to serve upon school boards, but until this new law was passed, there was some question about the matter and but few boards in the state had women members. The selection of Mrs. Judson J. Hunt is a most excellent one. She is the mother of two children, both of Whom are in school, and this is an excellent qualification. She is a woman of high scholarship, being a graduate of the Rensselaer high school and the Indiana State Normal school. She was for a number of years a teacher and during one year assisted in the Rensselaer 'high school. She is a woman of public spirit and excellent ability. She is a member of one of Jasper county’s very best families, being the daughter of the late Captain John M. Wasson,, for many years a distinguished citizen of this counity. Mr. Lane’s selection will be universally approved, as he is a gentleman of most excellent character and splendid ability. He is a wideawake business man and will favor progress and advancement in the city school administration. He is a democrat, but like every other person who serves faithfully in any capacity of school work, he will arise above partisan ism. The city council is to be congratulated upon the excellent selections it has made and the people of the city may be assured that the high standard already held, schools will continue to advance. : ?

GREATEST WHEAT CROP ON RECORD IS INDICATED.

A wheat crop of 1,236,000,000 bushels and a yield of 3,021,000,000 bushels of feed grains, wheat, oats, rye and barley, the largest on record at this season, is estimated by the June report Of the department of agriculture. _ The aggregate gain of the four grains us 223,000,000 bushels, or 8 per cent in excess of the harvest of last year. The wheat crop alone is by far the greatest on record, increasing 319,000,000 bushels, or 34 per cent over last year, and 210,000,000 bushels, or 24 per cent above the record in 1915, and 445,000,000 bushels over the five-year average of 191217. Based on $2.26 per bushel at Chicago, the wheat crop is worth $2,793,000,000, and on is 2, the valuation is $2,472,000,000. This means prosperity for the farmers and business interests and railroads. Permit System Planned. The crop is so large that it is to be handled by the railroads on the permit system.. Enough wheat is in sight to give Europe 600,000,000 bushels and leave 636,000,000 bushels for domestic consumption. Millers, grainmen, bakers, and others are to meet in New York with Julius H. Barnes, the wheat director of the United States Grain corporation, today to formulate plans for handling the crop. It is expected that the government will make good its guarantee to the farmer and take its loss through sales of floiir through millers, which will lower the cost of flour, to the public inside of sixty days.

WAR WORKER ADMIRES CAR Manufacturer Congratulated by Mrs. Bailington Booth, Head of Vol* unteert of America. > r The Car Loaned Her by General Pershing Never Faltered on Hazardous Trips. Among the numerous letters of congratulation received by Dodge Brothers on the performance of their. 14,000 cars serving with the American army, there is one in particular which the manufacturers especially prize. It was written by Mrs. Ballington Booth, one of the chiefs of ! the Volunteers of America, the or- ! ganization that endeared itself to the American doughboys for its splendid welfare work in the European war. The letter, which is in most respects similar to hundreds of others commenting on the service given by Dodge Brothers motor car, is as follows: “Several times while traveling through France and Germany I was inspired to exclaim: ‘I really must write to the Dodge Company when I get home and tell them what I think of their car ’ Now that I aim home , that intention has not weakened. I have spent the whole of this winter in France and Germany amid the mud and rain and shell-torn roads of the battle front, and later over the steep mountains and through the narrow gorges between Luxemburg and the Rhine. •Gen. Pershing gave me for my use while I served with the A. E. F., a Dodge car. With my little company of entertainers I was enabled to go to many of the boys in isolated spots who had no transportation to send ( for me arid would have gone without entertainment had I not had my car. We traveled hundreds of miles sometimes over almost impassable roads. We scaled mountains, where at every minute we had reason to fear that our little car might balk at further pressure. But we never had a minute’s trouble. I can say most emphatically that the Dodge gave splendid service and held out where we have found other cars disabled by the roadside. “When my service with the army was through and J had to return the car to them I felt as if I was parting with a personal friend and wished that it could run me down to Brest and be taken aboard the transport and sajl for home with me. “From what I halve heard from many sources, I believe that others have had just as successful experience with the Dodge at the front as we have had.” The cars that served in the army were of standard specifications, precisely like the Dodge Brothers motor cars that are being built day after day for domestic and foreign markets.—Advt.
