SLOWLY THEY DRIFT HOME; FEW YET TO COME

Sergeant-JJajor Edwin Robinson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Robinson, arrived here from Camp Taylor, Ky.. Wednesday afternoon, having received his discharge from that cantonment after approximately two years’ service in the great world war. The sergeant lacked but five days of completing a full two years in the service, living Rensselaer August 5, 1917, with Company M. Leaving here, he went to Camp Shblby, Miss., where he remained for almost a year before going to Camp Taylor to enter an officers’ training school. 11l health at the Kentucky cantonment compelled him to give up the school, and> following his discharge from the hospital- he was transferred to an artillery division scheduled for service overseas, which arrived in the war zone the early part of October. During his stay in Europe he was privileged to -travel over imuch of the war-ridden country and also spent thirty days in London. He had also planned a three weeks’ visit to Rome but was denied the privilege of a furlough when the delicate after-the-war problems caused an alarming situation in that country. , Mr. Robinson was ’tendered a second lieutenancy two months prior, to discharge but declined the offer, feeling that home scenes were much more desirable than continued service in the army.

DON’T STAY “DOWN ON FARM”

and don’t keep the boys “down on the farm.’’ A man who is down on his job will never get up in the world. The reason the boys get down on the farm is because it’s all work and no play. If they do stop cultivating by* new tiime there’s no way to amuse themselves save knocking apples or chasselves save knocking applesor chasing the ehickeuis (meaning fowls). The boys must have a way to circulate. Young blood runs red. ‘(Color and beat). It’s got to be cooled. Work won’t do it. Let ’em see others’ farms, go fishin’, come to town. Anything to make theini appreciate the old place when they get home. Buy an Oakland and try to wear it out. That’s ho‘w you’re “goitoa keepem.”

•2GII^ a<L Some one asked us the other day who wrote our “ads.’’ Well, we don’t know as it is a secret at all. Scott Hilliard writes ’em, that’s me, right busy at it now. • It’s no job to write an ad at all. The big job is getting the store to live up to what I write. I can’t get out and see everybody who comes in and give them the glad hand, yet I don’t want to miss any one. .. I am trying any very best to make this the best, store in Jasper county, and one of the ways is writing these ads to get you in to see what a dandy, big store we have. The other way is having the goods at square and fair prices. We hope we are pleasing you in all ways.

THAT BAD BACK.

Do you have a dull, steady ache in the small of the back—- sharp, bing twinges when stooping or lifting—distressing urinary disorders? For bad back and weakened kidneys Rensselaer residents recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Read this Rensselaer statement. Joseph Smith, retired farmer, Van Rensselaer St, says, “I had weak kidneys for years. My back became stiff and sore and I have had to get up and down very carefully, because of the pain. My kidneys have often failed to act right and the secretions have been scanty and scalding in Sassage. I have felt weak and tired. •oan’s Kidneys Pills have always given me great relief.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Smith had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

FEW VETERANS IN CONGRESS; NEW SOLDIER BODY COMING.

Seven old soldiers who served in the civil war—only seven—are memben of the 66th congress. ,Ht is fifty-four years since the dlose of the “irrepressible conflict” between the north and south, and within the last two or three decades there has been a great thinning out 'of sbldier representation in the national law-making 'body. This representation was aft its highest point between 1880 and 1890. Since the last mentioned year ithe decrease in the number of soldier members ’has been steady and at times erven rapid. Just as the veterans have been dropping out of the grand army parades on Memorial day, so they 'have (been disappearing year after year from the legislative halls.

Northern civil war veterans who are in congress are: Senator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota. Senator Francis E. Warren, of Wyoming. Representative Harry Z. Osborne, of California. Representative Isaac Sherwood, of Ohio. Only three veterans of the confederate army are in congress, viz: Senator John H. Bankhead, Of Alabama. Senator Thomas Staples Martin, of Virginia. .Representative Charles M. Stedman, of North Carolina. Senator Nelson was a noncommissioned officer in the Fourth Wisconsin infonitry. He was wounded and taken prisoner at Fort Hudson, La., June 14, 1863. Senator Warren fought in the same battle in which Senator Nelson was wounded and Captured. He was a private and later a noncommissioned officer in Ithe Forty-ninth Massachusetts regimenit and received the congressional medal for gallantry art; the siege of Fort Hudson. Representative Osborne enlisted at the age of 16 and served in the Ninety-second New York infantry. Representative Sherwood enlisted as a private in the Fourteenth Ohio infantry and was mustered out e (brigadier general. He was in fortythree battles. Senator Bankhead served four years in the confederate army and was wounded four times. Senator Martin served the confederate states as a member of the cadet battalion of the Virginia military institution. He (has been in the senate for thirty years, his present term expiring in 1925. Representative Stedman served with General Lee’s army throughout the war and was wound-, ed three times. He started as a private and was mustered out a major. Expect Another Soldier Congress. A review of soldier representation in congress in the past indicates (that most of the soldiers did not aspire Ito congressional honors until they were 35 or 40 years olid; in fact, many were between 40 and 50 when they took their seats. Now* the question is, how soon will the soldiers of the recent world war occupy a majority of the seats in congress? The conjecture is that it (Will be at least fifteen years before there will (be another soldier congress.
