N. t W- Reeve can take a joke as well as anyone, but the ex-express agent is getting tired of having the mail man deliver a copy of the “Appeal to Reason” every Week to his home. The Appeal to Reason is a weekly socialist publication, edited by the most radical socialists in the United States. The Current issue contains a glaring headline printed in red ink on the first page which reads: “Demonstrate for Debs on July 4th.” Debs at the present time is confined in the federal prison in West Virginiiu to which place he was sent for a ten-year term following his remarks against the government which were made in Milwaukee during an address. The article states that the public will eventually become acquainted with .the fact that Debs’ proper place is in the white house and not in a West Virginia prison. Mr. Reeve recently received a statement asking that he renew his subscription. Since Mr. Reeve did not subscribe for the paper originally it is hardly probable that he will send money for something which he does not want. "

REMINGTON

[Press.! Miss Lola Elmore went to Frankfort Tuesday for a visit with f riends. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Johnston are attending the big Shriner doings at Indianapolis this week. Mrs. Sam Thompson and brother, James Rawlings, of Monticello, and Mr. and Mrs. Fred L. Griffin, also of Monticello, were visiting Remington friends Tuesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Greenwood are spending a few days this week at Indianapolis. Mrs. J. A. Hatch, of Kentland, was the guest of Mrs. W. L .Gumm one day last week. Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Elmore, of Mon, ticello, were Sunday visitors at the Morin home. John and Philip Och, of Indianapolis, came Sunday to spend a couple of days with fheir parents. Mrs. Jno. Ochs did not come, having gone for a visit with her people at Bloomington. Curtis Belcher and family, of Star City, Ind., spent Sunday with his brother, Walter Belcher, and sister, Mrs. Melrose. Mrs. Graham Thomson, of Andrews, Ind., who came Tuesday last to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Barnett, returned to her home Sunday. John Tharp informs us that his son-in-law, Finn Johanneson, has arranged to sail about the third of July for that far country, Norway, his old home, and where his parents and brothers still reside. He will make his future home there, and his wife, formerly Miss Alice Tharp, and four children, will follow him in about a month. John is pretty well broken up over the event, as the country of Norway is such a long distance away and so far north that the sun only shines four months in the year, the balance being a kind of misty haze. He is afraid that he won’t be able to go visiting there very often. It is also a pretty cold proposition there. One of our business men remarked to us Monday that “This is getting to be one of the d’d’st Saturday night towns in Indiana, if anyone should ask you.” And it’s a fact, too. We know of no town anywhere within a radius of twenty-five miles, where so many people get together on Saturday nights as at Remington. And it has always 'been so, even before the advent of the gas buggy, when the people had to spend from thirty minutes to two hours each way on the road. And more so now than ever, that the trip can be made in from ten to thirty minutes on the road. The only difference is that they don’t seem to know when to go home, and come mighty near staying all night. It’s not so hard on them, but it’s quite a jolt on the merchants and the clerks who have to await iheir pleasure, as many of them put off buying and getting their goods unr.il , they are nearly ready to go home, which, of course, .makes a great rusn at’ the stores. A little forethought on the part of the purchasers in getting their goods out of the stores early jn the evening would make it a great deal easier for the clerks. Last Saturday night must have been a record breaker, from the number of automobiles parked in every conceivable place in orderly rows upon rows, all about town, completely filling several streets to a point where getting through was practically impossible.

Mesdames Warriner, Chappell, Jordan and Cornwell attended a Home Missionary convention at Monticello Tuesday and Wednesday. C. A. Bringle moved Saturday into his recently purchased home, the former Headlee property, which he has repaired to a considerable extent. Mr. and Mrs. Bur Lucas, of Marion, Ohio, stopped off here Saturday and spent Sunday with his brother, James P. Lucas. Mr. and Mrs. Lucas were on their way to MissdurK where they are moving. A small blaze in the home of Clifford Farabee, in the north part of town, called out the fire company on Monday evening, but there was very little to do. The house belongs to George Neirengarten, and it is not known how the fire originated. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Forbes and daughters, Lucille and Virginia, of Oxford, were guests of their relatives here Sunday. Miss Edith Fenwick, from the country, is spending some time with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Fenwick, in the north part of town. Mrs. William Hollingsworth and daughter, Evelyn, of Atchinson, Kas., came on Friday last to spend a couple of months with her father, Guthrie Morris, and family. Miss Hazel Wellman, of Michigan City, is the guest of Miss Irene Howard this week. On Tuesday afternoon Miss Howard entertained a few of her intimate friends out at .Fountain Park with a picnic luncheon in honor of her guest. It was a very jolly affair. A. newly-wedded and very happy pair from Kentland took the train here Tuesday evening for a honeymoon trip. They were Edward Cahill and Frances Weist, and they were married the same day.. They Y e ,T e accompanied by two car loads of jolly young people who made merry while they awaited the arrival of the train. Mrs. John B. Latimore is arranging to go to Mayo 'Brothers’ hospital next week for examination and probably an operation. Miss Mildred Merritt, who has been visiting in Oxford and other joints the past week, returned home Saturday mornipg. 3. —>

AN EVENING OF MYSTERY AND MIRTH.

Arthur Irwin, who will appear at the Methodist church Tuesday evening, June 17th, is a magician far above the average in ability and is bound to please by his versatility and ability. He divides his program into two parts, as Impersonator—ls given to readings, character impersonations, pantomine acting and sketches. In some of his character impersonations Mr. Irwin uses wigs and funny make-ups making still more variety to an already varied program. His “old country fidler” always proves a big laugh getter. Magician —He brings surprise after surprise as he takes you through mysteries guided by his magic wand. When he makes a ringing alarm clock vanish before the very eyes of the audience they always say: “How did he do it?'’ He is original, and not only makes yotf wonder, but also keeps you laughing with his ever bubbling humor. Given by the Monnett Guild, benefit Monnett school. At Trinjty M. E. church. Admission: Adults, 25c; children, 15c.

BOOZE’S FORLORN HOPE.

July 1 has not yet arrived, and, as the friends of an unlimited percentage of alcohol see it, while there, is booze there is hope; not more than a forlorn hope, to be sure, but something worth struggling for. Representative Dyer, of Mississippi, republican, a member of the judiciary committee, which has been wrestling with the question of repealing the law providing for prohibition to go into effect July 1, finds that “the matter has developed far enough in our committee for me to be able to state definitely that there is no opportunity in our committee to obtain a favorable report on such a bill. Mr. Dyer does not give up hope, however. Notwithstanding authoritative opinions to the contrary, he is convinced that the president has the authority to abrogate the law, and therefore urges him “to issue a proclamation to the effect that the war is ended and that the demobilization of the troops has been complied with sufficiently to meet the law and, therefore, there is no need for the wartime prohibition, so far as it affects light wines and beers, to go into effect.” iThe ingenuity of the friends or booze appears to be inspired by their desperation. If judgment may be forced from the difficulty with which the peace treaty is being framed, we are somewhat short of the end of the war. We still have some hundreds of thousands of fighting men standjng guard over the Huns and sleeping on their arms. Complete plans have been made for these men to move farther into Germany in case the Germans refuse to sign the treaty. This is pretty clear evidence that the war is not ended by any means, however hopeful we may be that the near future 'will see its official encr ing and however inconsequential those hundreds of thousands of fighting men may be in the matter of demobilization. What the president will do in response to Mr. Dyer’s appeal can not, of course, be forecast, but if he continues to be as shrewd a politician as he has frequently proved himself he will do nothing. As discriminating an eye as his must see that booze is now in the throes of dissolution, and that the application of no kind of political oxygen can defer its demise, and, furthermore, that any political doctor who undertook such treatment would hardly be called on again even for advice in regard to the ills of the body politic.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smith went to Indianapolis Thursday. They will drive a new machine back.

some time with the former’s brother, Charles Chamberlain, at Colfax, Wash., before going to their new home at Pullman, Wash. Gumm’s peony farm was the scene of quite a gathering Sunday, people coming from miles around to the field of vari-colored blossoms. The crop this year was not so beautiful or so immense in quantity as in previous years. This, Mr. Gumm states, was because of the frost ana hail which ruined about 90 per cent of his peonies. However, there were many beautiful blossoms to be seen and it’s well worth the trip to the H. Dowden returned the last of the week from a two years service in the army and is now staying with his brother-in-law, Ed Walton. Will was with the engineer corps in France and Germany and was where Exploding shells were no novelty, falling by the hundreds all about where he worked at building roads. The construction of roads was necessary in order to get foodstuffs and supplies to the doughboys, and at times he was even ahead of the doughboys. He as ° ver ,™* Rhine in Germany and states that the Germans treated the boys better than the French did, especially m the way of food, when the supplies failed, for reasons unknown, to reach them.
