WELL PLEASED WITH NEW WESTERN HOME.

• Manitou, Colo., Sept. 9, 1919. Dear Republican Editor and Jasper = County Friends:- —-— Thinking you would be interested as to where we are located, I thought 1 would write and tell you and try to describe some of the beautiful scenery, f We are located at Manitou, a suburb of Colorado Springs, at the bottom of Mt. Manitou, which is 9,000 feet above sea level. We are living in a cottage at the foot of this mountain and we can sit on our poroh and look every way and see one mountain after another covered with groves of pine tr6€B An incline or cable-road runs to the top of Mt. Manitou and a cog road and an automobile road run to the top of Pike’s Peak, whick is. about ten miles from here. It only looks to be about two or three miles distant. ~ The immense rocks, the deep canyons and the large graves of pines are not describable to those who have not seen them: Sunday we took a, forty-mile scenic drive to see,,the “Garden of the Gods,” “The Cave of the Winds,” “The Balanced Rock,” “The Seven Falls,” “Ute Geyser,” and many other places of natural scenic beauty. “The Cave of the Winds” has sixteen rooms and all are differtnt. The ceilings are covered with crystal i zed formations formed by a liquid or water seeping from the mountains. It takes one hundred years for one inch to form. Some of the ceilings sparkle like diamonds and some are all colors which take on a beautiful polish. In “The Garden of the Gods” are different mountain images made of limestone and some of red racks. Some are tall and slim, while others are so wide and high that a man on top looks like a speck. —The climate is fine hereand the air is so much fresher and lighter. It is warm during the day and cool during the night. It often rains on the mountains and we can stand on our porch and see the rain fall and hear the thunder. " Living is about the same here as there. In fact, some things are cheaper. Rent is high during the summer but is cheaper during the winter. The city is supplied with mountain water and there are two springs, a soda and a mineral spring. The climate seems to be agreeing with us fine and the change did not affect me '* in the least. I don’t know how long we will be located here, but will let you know later where to send our paper. Hoping that all of our Jasper county friends are well, we are, respectfully, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Gratner, Manitou, Colo. P. S.: My father and mother are here with us; also my father’s sister, Mrs. Ellen Ott, of Dodge City, Kas.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

COL HEALEY NOT A CANDIDATE

ISSUES STATEMENT GIVING REASONS WHY HE CANN6T MAKE RACE. Col. George H. Healey, for many years editor of The Republican and recently discharged from the United States army 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 have never been able to seriously consider such a step#and that now, on the verge of entering business that will 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 be given to 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 and to best understand the high motives 4hat prompted liberty-loving America to enter the war. In this effort I found a marvelous response from the officers and men of my regiment, J 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 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 I observed and questioned and thought and studied with a view to forming opinions 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 of development that are awakened especially following a great crisis like the one just passed. It should inspire in every person a new resolve 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 and 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 have responsibilities that ifiust be my first consideration and these preclude me from engaging in a campaign that would jeopardize the interests of family and future. It will be recalled, also, that four years ago I gave to Warren T. McCray my ardent support. He is again a candidate and I am sure the reasons I urged at that time in his behalf are still sound and that he will conduct a winning campaign and justify the confidence I feel in 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 in this dear old home town. I have made enemies here because I sustained policies that I deemed just, but I bear ho ill feeling toward a single person. I have always had a vision of a —greater Rensselaer. It is Clearer to me,now than ever before. During th& past three weeks I have had an opportunity to compare it with a good many other cities of its class and I am certain that hone have quite the future that Rensselaer has. Let every person consider its future with an increasing confidence and pride and thus realize for it a large portion of the glory of the awakening world, tlj,e daw'n-flashes of which are now’ to be seen through] the thinning clouds of the world disaster. If the world is to profit by the lessons of the war, then it will be by the improvement of every person and every community. And Rensselaer will, I am sure, ■be in the very front in civic improvement and in the wider realm that will establish in the world Ideals shrouded for so many years in indifference and misunderstanding. If, at some future time, I shall decide that duty calls me to seek executive or legislative office, I shall hope that the issues upon which I stand shall justify the support of all and furnish to those -who have now proposed me for high office an assurance that their con-, fidehce was not misplaced.^ Sincerely yours, . GEORGE H- HEALEY.

SAVINGS BODIES URGED TO HELP HIGH LIVING COST

Government Director Lewis Makes to Six Million Members —Seventh District 4 Takes Action. Active entry into the campaign to lower the cost of living is urged upon more than six million members of War Savings societies throughout the country by William Mather Lewis, director of the savings division of the treasury department. The message for Chicago and the rest of the seventh federal reserve district was sent by Mr. Lewis to W. B. Bosworth, executive secretary of the District War Savings organization. There are 160,000 active savings societies, chiefly in industrial concerns. In his appeal Mr. Lewis said: “No solution of the high living costs can be reached until the country shakes off its presnt spending intoxication and settles down to demanding a dollar’s worth of food or material measured by the labor or effort required to obtain that dollar. Millions of people are not spending from their earnings, but from Cheir savings of the past two years.

“Liberty bonds and other securities accumulated by patriotic sacrifices during the war are being cashed at a loss to the purchaser to buy luxuries at prices exorbitant even for luxuries. It is not essential that we return to the extremes of economy ’and sacrifices of war times, but it is essential that we keep firm hold on the savings accumulated during the war, not only as a matter of personal benefit, but as a factor in bringing prices down. “Enrolled in these government savings societies are more than six million people close to the very heart of American industrial life. It is in their power to increase the flow of production. It is in their power to check waste among themselves and those dependent upon them, as well as In the communities in which they live. This can be done by wise buying and treating what they buy with respect to the hours of labor its purchase cost them. It is in their power, through regular and consistent saving and safe and conservative investment In such securities as War Savings stamps and Treasury Savings certificates to add to the capital necessary for industrial expansion and increased production. “The savings division of the treasury department, therefore appeals to the savings societies to re-enllst In this campaign. They can show the people of America how, and what to buy. They can teach how and when to save. They can assure a larger part of our national effort to production of necessities. They can aid to bring about increased employment and prevent the lowering of the general standard of living in America.” Harry Edwards Clay, manager of the War Savings stamp societies for the seventh district, lost no time sending out an appeal to the 1,500,000 members in Illinois, ana and Wisconsin backing np the plea from Washington. “There is no more potent factor in the present campaign to cut the high living cost than the government savings society. The statement of Mr. Lewls gives another reason why men and women should Join these societies, and why those who are members now should become active in the work. As Director Lewis says, they can show the people of the country how, when and what to buy, and they have it In their power to increase the flow of production and check waste among themselves and others In their community, as well as to assist In prosecuting cases of profiteering. This work will help each one individually. It will aid In bringing about better conditions.”

KEEP UP THRIFT IN SCHOOLS

Pupils to Be Taught Principles of Saving With Experience in Buying Selling and Account Keeping. With the resumption of school this month many of the educational features of the Thrift and War Savings Stamps campaigns will be centered in the classrooms. The continuation of the Little Lessons. in Thrift which were sent direct to all _ the school teachers In the five states of the Seventh District during the first six months of the year will be provided for. These lessons are designed for all grades, but pay particular attention to the younger classes, where it is desired to instill early the principles of thrift and saving. In all eighth grade schools and in high schools it is planned to interest, the pupils in personal accounts, a systematic and regularly conducted organization being formed In each school for that purpose. The system will include personal experiences in buying, selling s, and account keeping. > Students In all colleges and unlver- ( si ties will be enlisted in a campaign to popularize personal accounts and systematic savings. Domestic science teachers In public * schools, normal schools and colleges, and agents of extension departments be utilized to make this Individual budgeting of students’ incoibes effective; j 1
