STOCK SHOW IN OCTOBER

THIRD ANNUAL LIVESTOCK SHOW TO BE HELD OCTOBER 16, 17, 18. Thethird annualJaspercounty livestock show, to be held in Rensselaer October 16, 17 and 18, - promises to be one of the best ever held Jn northern Indiana, according to the secretary, Russell Van Hook, who has been very active in completing thearrangements for the event. Never before have the breeders taken such an active interest in the although it has had excellent, support since It was first started two years ag<u Many of the breeders who started in this show have gone out and become state and national fair winners and several of these men have indicated their intention of returning to the home show this season in order that the home people may have an opportunity to see their exhibition herds. The hog show promises to be unusually strong, and prominent local breeders of Hampshires, Duroc Jerseys,- Spotted ■ Poland Chinas, _Chester Whites and Big Type Poland Chinas have already engaged space to exhibit their show herds. No class of livestock has developed so rapidly—in—the—past—season— as the hogs, and the exhibit will beof great interest to the men who are contemplating the founding of pureibred hesds. 0. S. Bell, superintendent of the Hereford department, has engaged a section of the barn for the whitefaces and expects practically every herd in the county to be represented as well as herds from neighboring localities. John Parkison, in charge of the Shorthorns, has interviewed the leading breeders and reports that they will be well represented, as will the other beef and dairy breeds. An interesting feature of the show will, be the exhibition of the offspring of the heifers distributed among the members of the Jasper County Shorthorn club two years ago. These heifers have all reached the breeding age and practically all of them, are making money for the boys who received them. The County Shorthorn association is offering $lO for the best bull calf and $lO for the best heifer calf out of these heifers and second prizes of $5 each. ' The show will be held in*the old I Leek barn and on the lot to the south, where tents will be erected to accommodate the overflow. The show is being financed largely by donations.from various breeders and thert will be no charges of any kind connected with the exhibition. Farmers desiring to exhibit should notify the secretary, Russell Van Hook, at least three days before the opening of thfe show and have their animals in place by noon of October 16th. Classes have been provided for all kinds of pure-bred animals and breeders having anything worthy of classified. ’ ~ ' Previous shows have done much for the improvement of the livestock in this locality and the supporters of this event are very enthusiastic over the outlook.

IT HAPPENED IN RENSSELAER.

And I» Happening to Rensselaer People Every Week. The case told below is not an uncommon thing. The same occurs frequently and will continue to happen as long as folks have kidneys and overtax the kidneys. Joseph Smith, retired farmer, Van Rensselaer street, Rensselaer, says: “I had weak kidneys for years. My back became stiff and sore and I had to get up and down vety carefully, because of the pain. My kidneys often failed to act right and the secretions have been scanty .and scalding in passage. I have felt weak and tired, Doan’s Kidnef 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-Mijburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

He will leave the latter part of the week for Camp Dodge, la., where he will be mustered out of the service. It it? believed that he is the -only Rensselaer soldier who enlisted for the war with Germany still in the service.

REDS GAINING IN FAVOR

FANS SHOW A TENDENCY TO FLOCK TO MORAN BANNER AS THE SERIES NEARS. Can the acknowledgfed superiority of the Chicago White Sox individually overcome the decided advantage that Cincinnati has in the pitching end? is the question that is confronting base ball fans throughout the universe as the time nears for the opening of the series on Redland field. Can the natural strength of the Gleasons overcome the brilliant array of pitching performers that Pat Moran can throw into his first line of trenches? The betting odds answer the above questions best and show that .the fans to date are inclined to believe the Chicagoans will be returned the winners in the annual fall classic. “Bookies” are quoting the Hose as 13-20 and 5-7 favorites with the -prediction that game time will find the American league champions as 2-1 favorites. However, Cincinnati sentiment seems to be growing and many are flocking to the banner of Moran, assert--ing that his wealth of pitching, talent will be the deciding factor in the nine-game series. , Collectively and individually it would appear that the Comiskeymen are the better ball club. They possess the natural ability, they are a more powerful batting aggregation,, are. ..flawless in their fielding, a wonderful money team and when put together are a smooth, welltimed machine. Exclusive of pitchers, the Sox seem to have it on the Reds in every position wtith the exception of two, center field and third base.

Despite the overwhelming advantage that seems to belong to the Hose in practically every departtical and are prone to hesitate before selecting the Chicagoans. It is the pitching that causes them to there they find the advantage that seems to belong to Gleason is wiped out by the wealth of high-class heavers that Moran has in his stable. Reuther, Sallee, Eller, Fisher, Ring and Luque are all sterling perforiners and should be able to carry the nine-game burden with much more ease than Cicotte and Williams, the only two topnotch hurlers belonging to the clan of Comiskey. Cicotte and Williams are undoubtedly as good or superior to anything that Moran can offer. But Moran has six capable performers to Chicago’s two. Surely the strength in this department must lie with Cincinnati. In Sallee and Ruether Moran has two wonderful left-handers who traveled at top speed throughout the year. Sallee, wise and crafty, .the veteran of many campaigns, still possesses his wonderful cunning and will be a tough bird for the Chicago stickers to solve. Ruether imbued with winning ways that his confidence is going to carry him a long way in the series. Fisher has 'turned in many brilliant performances and has the advantage of knowing the Chicago batters. Eller pitches along the same lines as Cicotte and may not be as effective against the Chicago clubbers as his mates. Jimmy Ring, one of the best in his league, and also one of the unluckiest, should be good for a win over the American league representatives. In Luque, the Cuban, Moran has a steady relief hurler.

Nothing much need to be said of Cicotte, the Chicago ace, Jus season’s his wonderful ability. Cicotte is a veteran and is thirty-five years of age, but apparently time has not caused him to deteriorate to any marked extent. In Claude Williams Gleason is favored with a clever little southpaw who has shared the pitching burden throughout the season with Cicotte, and his record is little short of that of the veteran. Kerr, of this year’s acquisition from Milwaukee, has performed creditably and may be able to go the route—but Moran’s club dotes on southpaw pitching and the wee one may have a rough voyage. Bill James, Grover Lowdermsilk, Red Faber and Wilkinson are mighty uncertain quantities and will hardly be trusted to start a game, although probably all of them may take part in some of the contests. Erskine Mayer is impossible. Thus we find the Chicagoans partment of the game with the exception of the pitching end. In a short series the patching is perhaps the most important. < Moran can shift his pitchers and still retain a capable performer to' throw at the opposing forces on the following day while Gleason must rely on Cicotte, Williams and possibly Kerr for his victories. It is a delicate situation confronting Gleasonrnd, although his club rules a favorite, he must maneuver carefully if he is to win. As for us, give us Cincinnati* ;
