Hoover Suction Sweeper Co

You can get an electrical servant which will do all the hard work connected with the cleaning of carpets and rugs in your home. An electric suction sweeper solves the he use cleaning problem. Some electric sweepers do their work—more thoroughly than—others. In our estimation, the best sweeper is the Hoover. It not only draws dirt out by suction, but it beats and sweeps the floor covering, shaking out all the embedded dirt. . We art going to have a three day - demonstration, today, tomorrow and Saturday of the Hoover Suction Sweeper in our display window. A young lady will show just how the

ONE OF MOST MODERN EQUIPPED MILLS IN STATE.

After being closed down a period of six weeks, the Iroquois Roller Mills, of this city, again resumed operations with increased capacity. Being unahle to secure a sufficient supply of the 1918 wheat crop to tide them over to this year’s crop, the mill was forced to close down and ship in flour in order to take care of its bookings. - However, Mr. Sprague lost no time and gave the mill a complete overhauling from top to bottom by clothing his sifters with new silk, installing some much-needed new machinery, changing from steam power to electric power, having installed two 20’s, one 7 1-2 and one 5-horse-power motors which are a big improvement to this city, as it does away with the smoke and dirt created by the steam power. Mr. Sprague extends an invitation to the public to come and see the mill in operation.

For a few dollars you oan get a servant to relieve you of the drudgery of house cleaning.

MAX BRILL COMING TO TOWN

OLD ftylE RENSSELAER BOY NOW CLOTHING KING OF NEW YORK. How many of the old timers will remember little “Maxy” Brill who used to sell clothing, Star tobacco and general merchandise for Fendig in the old Nowels block some twenty-five years ago, and who used to be the crack third baseman 'of the old Rensselaer ball team and one of the crack 'batters of the northern Indiana circuit? Well, according to Earle Reynolds, who was also a member of the old team and who ran across “Maxy” recently in New York, “Maxy” has decided to make a trip west and is going to spend a few days among his friends in Rensselaer. You all remember “Maxy” Brill when he was chief clerk in the Fendig store, and many of you will be greatly pleased to hear that he has gained one of the highest positions in the commercial world possible to obtain. In other words, Max is now the king of the clothing merchants of the greatest city in the world, New York. Even with bis vastbusinessinterests, Maxalways finds time for athletics which he enjoys daily in a beautiful club gymnasium which he recently built in the heart of New York, and of which he is the director. Although Earle Reynolds and family will not be here when Max comes to Rensselaer, Earle has arranged to see that Max gets a number of good, old-fashioned country dinners during his few days of handshaking among the old guard. „ Rhoadesr T ‘‘iShorty” Simpson, Charfes Blue and a number of other boys who knew Max have been appointed as a committee to see that the disr tinguished New Yorker gets the best food he has had in twenty years, even with all his millions, when he drops off the old Monon fast flyer. The key to the city is awaiting “Maxy” when he arrives.

COL. HEALEY NOT A CANDIDATE

ISSUES STATEMENT GIVING REASONS WHY HE CANNOT MAKE RACE. Col. George H. Healey, for many years editor of The Republican and recently discharged from the United States aFiny after “serving for “almost three years with the colors, and in whose behalf friends had started a boom to secure the republican nomination for governor, has determined that he can not make the campaign and in the following statement eliminates himself from further consideration; To republican voters of Indiana: It is timely that I should make a statement-relating to the suggestion coming from several sections of the state and supported ardently by many friends in Jasper and adjoining counties, that I make the race for the republican nomination for governor. In the outset I wish to say that I haye never been able to seriously consider such a step and that now, on the verge of entering t business that wll consume all of my time, I can not give any thought to matters that would detract seriously from my attention to business. It is, therefore, my duty to ask that no further consideration—he_ -given —£o_ me. I wish to thank those who have given suggestion or impetus to the proposal and to say that I am fully appreciative of the high compliment contained in their efforts in my behalf. ,If I may be excused for further extending this statement, I wish to say that during the months I was in active military service, which concluded with ten months’ service in France, I had only one viewpoint and that was rendering to the United States the best service of which I was capable and in qualifying those whom I had the honor to command to best serve-%nd to best understand the high motives that prompted Niberty-loving America to pnt.pr the war. In this effort I

found a marvellous response from the officers and men of my regiment, and also from the brigade which I commanded for more. than six months. This statement would be a bit aside from the text of my present duty were it not for the contingent effort I made during the past three years to - consider constructively every problem. confronting us as a. state and nation. I do not say this with any egotism, but during all the months of service in the training camp and the varied duties ,in France b observed and questioned and thought and studied with a view to forming opinioiis on every subject confronting America and the world. I did not do this with a view to becoming a candidate for any office and I have never to any person said that I was in any sense a candidate. The highest duty of citizenship is service. It justifies sacrifice. It influences with powerful favor the processes bf development that are awakened especially following a great crisis like the one just passed. It should solve to realize the highest opportunities that will be evolved from the woe and destruction and deviltry of war. To be a factor in any capacity in shaping the destiny of a nation is a high honor apd I am quite willing to admit that the suggestion of friends that I be a candidate for the highest office in Indiana was pleasing to me, but I nav® responsibilities that must be my firsi, consideration and these preclude me from engaging in a campaign that would jeopardize the interests of family and future. , , m Tt will be recalled, also, that four years ago I gave to Warren T. McCray my ardent support. He is again a camdidate and I am sure the reasons I ’urged ot that time_in his behalf are still sound and that he will conduct a winning campaign and justify the confidence I feel m him in his administration of the

office. It is quite certain that my reentry into business will take me to a new field and if this is the* case I will none the less have a deep interest in the welfare of every person whose friendship I have had m this dear old home town. I have made enemies here because I sustained policies that I deemed just, hut I hear no., ill feeling toward a single person. I have always had a vision of a greater Rensselaer. It is clearer to me now than ever nofore. During the past three weeks I have had an opportunity to compare it with a good many other cities of its class and J am certain that none have quite the future* that Rensselaer has. Let every person consider its future with an increasing confidence.

CAPITAL STOCK NOW $75,000

STATE BANK NOW A ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR INSTITUTION. At the meeting of the board of directors of the State Bank, of this city, Tuesday evening the capital was increased from $30,000 to $75,000, with $25,000 surplus and an amount left in the item of undivided profrST The surplus stock, it is understood, will be sold to customers of the bank.

the Trust and Savings Bank. The State Bank had purchased the present building which it occupies of Mrs. John “Moore and the Trust & Savings Bank had purchased its building of H. R. Kurrie, Delos -Thompson-and—others. In common with the other financial institutions of this city, as well as all other lines of business here, the bank has enjoyed a most prosperous career. Its management has been conservative and its officers have been the same with a single exception since the organization. John Eger has been and still is the president} Delos Thompson was formerly cashier, hut is now vicev president. James H. Chapman was formerly vice-president, but is now

cashier. The increase in the capital stock, and the addition of new stockholders will add undoubtedly to pie present prestige of the institution and will assist it very materially in securing its due proportion of the banking business of this city. The three banks now operating in this city have a combined capital stock of $235,000, the Trust & Savings Bank having SIOO,OOO, the First National $60,000 and the State $75,000.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY COUN TY AGENT LEAMING. County Stock Show October 16-18 The third anUual Jasper County Livestock show will 'be held in Rensselaer Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, October 16, 17 and 18, according to the announcement of the cammittee ln charge, which met one evening last week to arrange for the event. The reports from the various breeds showed that livestock conditions are the most flourishing of any time in the history of the county and that more herds of pure-bred livestock have been established since the holding of the first show two years ago than in all the time previous to it. Department superintendents were appointed to arrange for the exhibition of the various breeds and to solicit entries in the various classes. The appointments 'were: Hereford; —(X —S: Betlp - Shorthorn,John R Parkison; Angus, I, B*. Meader; Hampshire, J. N.

Lane was appointed chairman or the finance committee . In speaking of the prospects, Secretary Russell Van Hook states: has never been a time wESfe our“bree3ers couT3 - puF~up"~a” better show than at present. Although the demand has been so! great that practically every pro- j duces of pure-bred animals is sold' out, most of the breeders are willing to show their herd animals and I have every reason to think that we will have the highest quality or animals in the show that we have ever had.” A canvass of the breeders indicates that the hog show is particularly strong, many hogs having been' brought into the county this season. • There are between 200 and 300 Jasper county at the (present time aud the greatest difficulty that the promoters of the Bhow seem to be having is the finding of a suitable place to hold the exhibition.
