SUCKER TEAM FELL BEFORE STEAMROLLER SATURDAY.

Presenting the same steamroller attack which they used on the Remington team, the local high school football team crushed the Gilman, 111., eleven Saturday at Riverside park by a count of 28 to 0. It was the second straight victory in as many starts for the Rensselaer aggregation, whose goal line still remains uncrossed. v The gridiron was heavy from many days Of rain, and a chilly wind blew across the field, which made the spectators uncomfortable and retarded the~wbrk of the players. The Gilman players fought hard all the way, but were unable to fathom the open field play of the Red and Black. Rensselaer also presented a remarkable defense and at no time was its goal threatened. Coach Hadley has his men well versed in all departments of the game. They are quick to take advantage of every opening and all seem to possess the football instinct which is so essential to a winning team. Two victories have given them spirit and confidence, and it is doubtful if there is a team in this section of the state that will be able to defeat them.

SHOWING THAT THE WHOLE WORLD DON’T GO CRAZY.

The prevalent idea that tha wholeworld goes raving mad during the world’s series week has been disproved and it remained for Harry Mason, of Monon, to make the discovery. Harry was formerly a high class ball player and worked as a member of the Athletics of this city a few years ago, and is now employed hy the Monon as overseer of the block signal system between her? and Brookston. A— 2 - Harry, so he says, was passing through a small station near here last week when the world’s series interest was at the highest pitch. Naturally he was keeping in touch with the progress of the game as best he could. As he passed by the small station he called out, “What’s the score?” • Inside a long whiskered individual unwrapped his six feet of frame from one of the typical Monon setees and permitted the breezes to waft tq. Harry’s ears “Who’s playin’?” *

AN AMERICA FIRST MEASURE.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 14. —“The Smoot bill levyng prohibitive tariffs on -foreign—merchandise in the United States is a step in the right direction with the foot firmly planted,” is the assertion made by the Republican Publicity association today in a statement given out through the president of that organization, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. The statement continues: “Senator Smoot is a republican who knows how to put a wallop ■firTßgt^'tibfi.Thhfe = fsndquibbiing or dodging issues or academic wristslapping about his measure. Any competing nation which attempts crooked merchandising in the markets of the United States goes up against a tariff rate that will put it to sleep in the first round. And dumping is crooked merchandising when it is practiced as it has been in the past by certain European governments, particularly Germany. “There is a wide distinction between dumping and marketing in foreign countries a surplus at prices less than those exacted for given commodities in the country of -their origin; ~ Take shoes, for example, whose styles are changing from year to year. The manufacturers find that they have over-estimated the domestic market and a surplus remains on hand which they must dispose of, so' they market them abroad at what they can get, usually at prices below those secured in the home market. But the home people are not hurt by that. Or a surplus of hosiery may be marketed abroad at reduced prices with a view to establishing a trad? in that market. Or, if the manufacturers deliberately produce a surplus for foreign trade the home-folks are not injured, but oh the contrary, they are benefited, for this means the operation of the mills at maximum capacity, which insures minimum unit cost; more jobs for the workmen; greater consumption of raw materials. Lower unit cost, under a system of fair dealing, of course, means a decrease in the price to the home consumer. -

“Jhit the German system of ntii ; iMpiifg-/which-b7rs- ; alsobeeriprac“ ticed by the British considerably in the past, is to manufacture for the express purpose of stifling infant industries in foreign countries in the cradle. For example, when our textile industries were started years ago, the Manchester textile manufacturers inaugurated a campaign of price-cutting in the United States calculated to kill the industry here. They raised a huge sum of money for that purpose. They sold clothes at prices far under those demanded of English buyers at home, and, more than that, the losses sustained by this campaign were recouped by adding to the home prices to the English consumers. And the Germans have done the same thing in -chemicals and machinery. A year or so before the war American sewing "machinesi -weres finding a fuothold in Latin American countries which greatly perturbed the German makers. They sent their salesmen into those Countries witjh instructions to give away, if necessary, the German machines until the American machines were driven out of the field. The expenses of that campaign were recovered by increasing the home prices, and when the American business had been driven out of the Latin American countries, the price of the German machines was raised to a point which would cover all past losses. This is crooked merchandising and an offense against economic law. Those who engaged in’ it have no standing in equity and are not entitled to any sympathy when they fipd themselves barred from our market by a prohibitive tariff. “It is to be hoped that Senator Smoot’s bill will receive the support of the entire republican majority in congress, but that it will receive the approval of Mr. Wilson is extremely doubtful, as he remains a free trader despite the lessons taught by the war. When both the administration and the congress are republican,'" protection to American industries will be assured, and not until then.”'

AGED LADY DIES AFTER A LONG ILLNESS.

Mrs. Mary McCashen died at the home of her son, Alva, southwest of Rensselaer at 4:30 o’clock Sunday afternoon, following an illness of two years’ duration. Death was due to Bright’s disease. Mrs. McCashen was seventy-nine years of age at' the time of her death and had been a resident of the county since 1864, having come here from Ohio. The deceased was a devout Christian, a wonderful wife and mother, and her death marks the passing of a beautiful character whose place will be hard to fill. She was preceded in death by her husband but is survived by three sons, Alva and Charles, of this county, and E. B. McCashen, of Colorado. The funeral arrangements have not been made, as the relatives are awaiting word from the son in Colorado. '

MOCK MARRIAGE HELD BY LITTLE SCHOOL GIRLS.

The girls of the eighth grade held a very enjoyable party at the home of Miss Mary Potter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Potter, Friday evening. A npvel sort of entertainment which provided much amusement was a mock wedding ceremony. The bride was Katharine King and the part of the groom t was taken by Geraldine Roth. The ceremony was performed by Virginia Kresler and the wedding march was played by Ellen Kresler. The occasion was a very delightful one, and following the ceremony refreshments were served. ~ J Each little girl in attendance was costumed in some unique manner and the make-ups were the source of much amusement.

THERE WAS A MAN

from our town and he was wondrous wise. He bought a great big heavy car which opened up his eyes (and pocket book). I asked him why he didn’t buy a boat that he couldn’t float; he thought all cars were good as our. He claims, “they smell the '‘ same.” Tain’t. so, at that. No, the Franklin don’t ever smell like the water codler. They “warm up” to the proper degree for vaporizing modern low-grade fuels. Vapor bums clean. Perfect combustion means a clean, cool-running gas engine. The exhaust from a Franklin (pipe removed) is colorless in daylight and a perfect “combustion blue” in the dark. . It is next to impossible to get carburetion so perfect on a watercooled car that the flame is not yellow and sooty. Look to the flame of an open exhaust if you would know where your gas goes to and where your carbon comes from. The Franklin even carries an electric heater to vaporize the gas for cold starting. Benjamin Franklin had his own, ideas about electricity. C 1 H. H. Franklin had his ideas of an ideal car. Both made history.** ‘Tor keeps”—A Franklin.—Hugh Kirk.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB TO MAKE ANNUAL DRIVE.

The ladies of the Home Economics club have set aside three days for their annual drive into the cellars of the homes of Jasper county in quest of fruits, jellies, fruit juices and other delicacies which are to be donated to the Jasper county hospital. October 16, 17 and 18 have been set aside as the days on which donations are to be received, and all Whs are asked to leave them at the room in 'which the John Ramp grocery store was' formerly located on one of these days. One or more ~of the club ladies will be present at all times to make record of the donations. The members of the Home Economics club have made this drive for the past several years, and always with very gratifying results. They wish it understood that it is not simply a community movement, but a movement in which all of the ladies of the county are asked to aid. It is a movement which entails no hardship upon anyone and at the same time helps the hospital greatly. The hospital is a. county institution and an institution in which all should take pride and give aid. Heretofore the donations received have been of such a quantity that they have lasted for many months, and it is felt that the donations ■this year will be just as liberal as they have been in years previous. Remember the dates, October 16, 17 and 18.

MONON RESUMED THROUGH TRAFFIC SATURDAY EVENING.

The Monon railroad had the bridge back in place over the Kankakee river Saturday afternoon and the train due here at 7:31 p. m. came through from Chicago. This was the first through train we had had since the bridge was removed last Thursday to allow the large dredge to pass on up the river through the railroad right of way. The time which the bridge was out was much shorter than was contemplated, showing the high eflficiency of this great corporation under the management of its hustling president whom we are honored to nave as aresident of our city.
