CHURCH HOLDS UNIQUE SERVICE

HOME COMING AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH ENJOYED BY MANY.' There was an all day service at the First Christian church in this city Sunday and the pastor, the Rev. ' W. T. Barbre, had planned a most ’ interesting day. The attendance was large and the occasion was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. The church was decorated as a home, the pulpit being changed into a large home room, with fireplace, shocks of corn, pumpkin and mint. The pastor was seated in a large rocking chair and everything was done to make the appearance as homelike as possible. The services lasted throughout the day, beginning with the Bible school and regular morning service. At noon dinner was served in the dining room of the church and in the afternoon a special program was rendered. This consisted of a splendid address by James N. Leatherman and short talks by other members of the official board of the church. There was special music and sipging by the junior choir and the occasion was one: long to be «- membered by those, present.. i One of the most interesting sea- , tures of the day was the social en- ! joyment at intervals between the programs? : There was no service in the evening.

KENTLAND’S BULK PROVED UNDOING OF RENSSELAER.

I Contesting every inch of ground from whistle to whistle, Rensselaer high school’s football team fell in defeat at Kentland Saturday in the first setback suffered this season. Kentland’s bulk tells the story of the locals’ fall, and the Blue and White team looked more like a prep school team than that of a high school. The Rensselaer players were badly used up and some of them were forced to retire early with injuries. In addition to removals by the injury route, Collins was put out of the game for roughing a Kentland player. The final score was 27 to 0. Shortly after the opening whistle Rensselaer started an open field style of play that bewildered her । opponents and placed the ball on the Kentland 10-yard mark. A costly fumble saved Kentland at .his moment and a Blue and White encased leg sent the ball far down the field. Thereafter Rensselaer never threatened. Kentland relied on [straight football and brawn for her victory, and presented a sorry spectaele in her attempts at open field , play. __ _ ~ . | The final game of the season for i the locals will be played here on , Thanksgiving day, when Peru appears.

NEWS PRINT PAPER SOARING; SITUATION IS ALARMING.

F The- -price- oETnews,. pnnX paper; g. soaring skyward, with the limit nowhere in sight, and every newspaper publisher forceTTy circumstances to bid for every pound of print paper : that can be secured. Never m mstory has the print paper situation been as desperate as at the present i time and unless relief comes within : a few months many papers will be ' forced out of business on account i of being unabhe to obtain paper at ' any price. , j Not only is the country publisher being affected, but the city publisher as well. Thirteen cents a pound f. z o b. mill was asked for car load lots in New York last week, which is about three times the normal price. One Chicago newspaper offered ten cents" a pound for 1,000 tons if roll print, and has net fonnd a mill that will take the order. The Chicago papers are being forced to '.omit a large amount of advertising from every issue because of the shortage of nrint paper.

MOMENCE CANCELS GAME; PERU TO BE ATTRACTION.

I The Momence, 111., high school 'management this Monday morning I cancelled the football game schedi uled here with the locals for Thanks--1 giving day, much to , the gratis ica- ' tion of the Rensselaer management, i Thirty minutes later the name of Peru high school appeared on the vacant date on the Red and Black grid card. j Momence was defeated by Remington last Saturday by a score of 25 to 0. One week before Rensselaer had defeated Remington 98 to 0, giving them a margin of 123 points over the Sucker eleven, purely not much of an inducement for fans to attend the annual Turkey day game. 1 Peru is represented by a strong eleven and will prove a much greater attraction than would the eleven.

NEW LAUNDRY IN OPERATION

IS MODERNLY EQUIPPED AND UNDER SKILLFUL MANAGEMENT. James McCallum has Kis 'new laundry in operation. He is located in the new building erected by Michael Kanne on Cornelia street near McKinley avenue. The building is a good, fire-proof structure, being built of cement blocks, and the equipment is modern in every respect. No laundry anywhere is better equipped to do work and in addition Mr. McCallum has secured an expert workman in the person of W. R. Lee, of Chicago. Mr. Lee has been in some of the best laundries of that city ! and comes to Mr. McCallum with I the very best of references. | The laundry occupies the two ' stories of the large building and ample conveniences for the help are provided. Rensselaer people are always ready to support home industries when they are able to get as good service as they can secure elsewhere and undoubtedly Mr. McCallum will, have the patronage of ■at least a very large per cent of the people of this community. He 1 expects to secure in addition a very large amount of outside work. । '

RURAL ROUTE NUMBER TWO IS EXTENDED.

Commencing Monday, November 17, Harry B. Murray, the carrier on rural route No. 2 out of this city, had his route extended seven miles in length and some twenty-seven new patrons added. Before the extension this route had twenty-nine miles, but by some error in measurement the carrier gets pay for but twenty-eight miles. The seven miles added starts from the corner at the George Casey residence one mile north of this city and goes three " miles east to the William H. Daugherty farm. From there it goes south one and a half miles to . the Pleasant Ridge and Rensselaer road, striking this road at the Dr. A. R. Kresler farm, which is occupied by J. W. Smith and family, and from there it continues three miles to this city. The petition for this extension was circulated by and signed through the efforts of George Kanne and E. L. Fidler and the following are the patrons to be served: Fred Bachman, H. W. Jackson, Charles Snow, Fred Anderson, William Murray, Chester Sigman, Mrs. Jesse Foster, Ross Parks, William H. Daugherty, Bert Nees, - Gaylord Parker, J. W. Smith, Andy Myres, Joseph Kendall, E. L. Fidler, ‘ George Kanne, Arthur Mayhew, Baegwae——S——*Bi Joseph Nefiub, Jr., Janies Russell, " Clemons Gangloff, Lew Robinson, W. H. Mackey, Frank Gaines, William Bichling. * The pay pf the rural earner is based upon the mileage and they recieve $24 per year per mile. .The extension of this route will be a very great accommodation to the patrons who are thus served. Most of them were served at the postoffice in this city and they were often deprived of getting their mail on account of the fact that the window of the postoffice was closed at 7:30 p. m., which was too early

for the farmer . t It would be a very great accommodation to the patrons of the local postoffice if the window was not closed until a half hour later and if the mail was taken to the depot after 8:00 p. m. The mail is now taken to the depot about 7:00 p. m. i That there is a need for this later receiving and dispatching of mail is evident from the great amount of mail which every night is left at the Makeever hotel. While the hotel busman and the night operator at the depot are very accommodating, this unauthorized and unpaid for service is very uncertain and exceptionally insecure. If the service cannot be improved at this time the community should demand of the incoming republican, who is sure to succeed Postmaster Littlefield directly after the. next presidential election, that he agree to give this added service to which the patrons of the office are entitled and for which there is a demand and a very urgent business necessity.

William Stockton, the five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jay W. Stockton, of the Makeever hotel, who was knocked down and run over by Dr. Oosten’s automobile Saturday forenoon, is getting along nicely and it is now thought that •his broken ann is the only injury he sustained. For some time it was feared that he was hurt internally. The death-knell of radicalism may he striking.—-Little Rock Arkansas Democrat. 1
