HOOSIER ** theKltchen Cabinet that saves miles of steps 4 >jwßww ? nff _t “" ™ ’’ jR “I OWE MANY LEISURE HOURS TO THE HOOSIER” Leisure is the inherent right of every woman. And she who gains leisure gains health and happiness. .-> Thus 'her problem is in the saving of time and labor and making her kitchen tasks enjoyable. Probably no one thing will save as much time and labor in woman’a workshop as a Hoosier Kitchen 'Cabinet. It combines over 40 work-re-ducing inventions and exclusive conveniences. It places over 400 articles within reach. Meals are prepared with dispatch because every needed thing is close at hand—scientifically arranged. Clearing up after meals is quickly done because utensils and supplies are centered in the Hoosier. We urge every housewife to visit our Hoosier department and see how these cabinets render the service all women deserve. You’ll also find the prices and terms to your liking. W. J. WRIGHT, Rensselaer, Ind.

-Noticel . We have been cleaning and Panama hats each month. The average Panama is worn turned down in front and while in the wash bath very often breaks where it has been turned down. If a Panama breaks in the bath, which is absolutely unavoidable, the cleaners will reverse the hat in blocking. The average man, if his hat breaks, will jump all over us. He will contend that it has been our fault, and in place of having made a customer we will have lost one. We’re through! We will accept no more straws of any kind whatsoever for cleaning and reblocking. When an accommodation which we extend to our customers develops into a liability it’s time to back up. The most sacred thing around our •store is “The Customer” and we’re not going to permit the cleaning of Panama hats to lose .us any more customers. We will continue, as usual, to accept Stetson, Borsalino, Knox and all .standard felt hats for cleaning and reblocking, but never again a Panama! HILLIARD & HAMILL.

CONTESTING IN A. E. F. SHOOT AT PARIS.

Edward Clark, former Rensselaer boy and a son of A. R. Clark, of Morocco, who formerly owned the local telephone exchange with A. L. Bott, is now in Paris, where he is contesting as a member of the American Expeditionary Force rifle team in a shoot which is being attended by teams of all the allied nations. Clark ranks as the fourth best shot on the American team, which is some honor when one considers the fact that there are eral hundred thousands of American soldiers still in Europe. Clark is a marine, but the shoot is open to members of all branches of the service, consequently he was forced to compete against every American soldier in France indirectly. Mr. Clark was a member of Company M while living in this city and saw service on the Mexican border under Colonel Healey. While here ■he attended various state shoots and was highly successful along with Jerry Garland, another Rensselaer marksman, who is declared to .be the most consistent shot in America.

L. H. Wrignt, director of the state highway commission, has completed a tentative outline of the roads of Indiana, which will be proposed as part of the state highway system. The comprehensive plan, which spreads out over the ( state like a spider web and reaches every county seat and city of 5,000 or more population, contains 3,006 miles. The act of the 1919 legislature provides that the state highway commission shall designate the roads to -be embraced in the state system before April 1, 1920. Mr. Wright said yesterday it was probable the road system would be adopted by January. The law requires that from the da|e that the state takes over the roads they shall be maintained by the state highway commission. The great system of highways suggested in the preliminary plans of the director would, if laid out in a straight line, extend about oneeighth of the distance around the world. The tentative system includes the “back bone system” designated by the old highway commission. This system included the Range Line road from Indianapolis to South Bend, the National road from state line to state line, east and west, the Indianapolis and Louisville road, the Lincoln highway and the French Lick trail, and the road through the state from Vincennes to Lawrenceburg.

“IT WON’T GET WELL IF YOU PICK IT.”

And that applies to the modern motor car. If you have taken or are about to take delivery on a new car, get a rule book. Pick it to pieces. Not the car, but the book. Bite, eat, masticate, swallow and digest, not the book, but the information. Study the oiling chart, learn where and When to grease the chassis, how to care for the tires, the battery and the finish. Follow blindly. When the good book recommends a few drops of oil in the generator, don’t think a pint will do just that much better. 'Don’t care what makes the wheels go round. Don’t fret and worry about all the things you don’t understand; just oil and drive it. “Tinkeritus” has been the root of

most car evils.

ANNOUNCEMENT. I am opening a furniture repair and automobile upholstering shop in the McKay laundry building, which will be ready for me some time this week. I was fortunate enough to purchase 500 yards of upholstering material at a reduction, so you who have furniture or automobiles that need upholstering get in on this while it lasts. I will also put new covers on your old bows or make you a complete new top at a very reasonable price, and guarantee all work to be perfectly satisfactory in every respect Phone 482. & R. W. KNICKERBOCKER.
